I've already written a review for this little humidifier--you can find it a little ways down where I complain about how I dumbly managed to melt the front of mine trying to get a sticker off with alcohol. I didn't see an option to edit my review, so I'm posting another one: This time with an update from really cool customer service, and details about this little humidifier's performance.
So I melted the front of my cute humidifier like a dodo. And then I left the country with it, determined to use it. I travel every other week for work, and last month took me to Greenland. Greenland in August is cold and muddy, which means to compensate the inside of the little inn I stayed at was very warm and very dry. I have trouble sleeping with dry air, and past travel humidifiers off Amazon hadn't done me any favors. I had high hopes for Canopy's Portable Humidifier.
First--the travel lock was really handy for storing it in luggage. The little bag kept everything together too--charging cord, essential oil, and scent puck. When I got to my room, I ran this humidifier 24/7 for 10 days at levels 2 and 3 (max). It pumped out a lot of moisture--enough to keep me from coughing and waking up at night. Refilling it was easy. Operating it took a bit of a learning curve--I had to look at the little pamphlet a few times to see what indicating lights meant what--but once I was familiar with it, it was easy. And the Unwind essential oil that came with it made my entire room smell like soothing tea. It was awesome.
Emptying it, packing it back up for travel, and bringing it back home was easy. I took the top off and opened the tank to let it air out for a few days before putting it back in my luggage for my next trip. I had left a second Canopy humidifier on my desk in my office at home--and that one was fine too. No mold or anything. What I didn't expect to find was... a third humidifier delivered to me. When I was on my trip, Canopy had sent me another humidifier for the one that I'd melted the front of. I was really floored--and a little embarassed, because apparently you can remove stickers with more than just alcohol!--but mostly, I was really touched and grateful. On top of a great travel humidifier, it's from a company that's really cool about customer service. Thank you!!
All in all, I'm really glad I have this little thing. The only other feedback I have is about the essential oil puck. For prospective buyers or current users--be patient with the essential oil puck after you've used it a few times. It becomes saturated, so it'll take a little longer to absorb the oil drops. Just let it lay flat on your table for a minute or two before putting it back on the humidifier. Still works like a dream, and you can enjoy the scented mist.
Thank you Canopy! I really appreciate this little humidifier!
