鶹 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This Frida Ultrasonic Humidifier is quite small and compact making it easily fit into a space without taking up too much room but still feels sizeable enough that you wouldn't have to be constantly filling it up. I have had other ultrasonic humidifiers before and their tank capacity was much larger, my last one was probably double the size and I'd still have to refill it once during the night when it was really dry so this one would also need to be filled regularly, it's just not insanely mini.
The tank itself is bit of a weird shape, with it being triangular it's hard to get a decent grip on it in order to fill it and I'm certain it will be dropped at some point, especially if tired or on autopilot. Along with the shape making it hard to handle, the way to fill it is a little confusing, you have to unscrew a tiny cap beside a larger hole and it seems like an odd choice design-wise. Again, if tired or not fully alert, it would be really easy to start filling the middle hole instead of unscrewing the cap because it feels more intuitively that that's the way it should be done. Not only that, the hole to fill it from is very small so not optimal in that sense either, especially if pouring from a large bottle of distilled water as to mitigate mineral deposits from tap water. So while trying to juggle an incredibly non-ergonomic tank to get water into a tiny hole, it feels poorly thought out and not as user friendly as it should be, especially given it is mainly marketed towards use for babies by mothers who already have their hands full enough. I will say though, it is set up so that the corner of the triangle is in the back so it would be a perfect fit in a corner unlike a round or rectangular one.
The humidifier itself seems to work quite well, it's not overly dry in my place recently so I only used it for an hour or so to get a feel for it but while it was on it did feel refreshing and the mist was nicely dispersed. The nightlight is just a couple shades of blues and greens which is more calming than if they incorporated colours like reds, yellows and purples but it actually moves kind of abruptly through the colours which makes it not as relaxing as it could be. You can press the light button on a chosen colour for it to stay steady though, and the light can remain on even if the humidifier isn't. I also liked that you can move the top spout to control where the mist is aimed.
While on it makes a trickling sound which may be calming for some and annoying for others as it is not silent. The humidifier itself is fairly quiet but not silent either, it has a bit of a motor-running type sound that isn't the best form of white noise in my opinion, it's a little grind-y sounding.
I'm a little confused by the lifetime warranty, it is mentioned on the box but there is nothing in the included pamphlet about the warranty or details about it or how to file a claim if needed.
Lastly, I found a couple of the choices made on the packaging a little strange- a cartoon baby with green snot pouring out it's nose on the top of the box, and then "I get turned on easily" inside the box... I can understand the sick baby as it's branded that way but it still feels like an interesting choice, however, also then having an adult innuendo seems a little displaced. I'm not personally offended but it comes across as a little off-putting and confusing at the very least.
Overall it is a fine humidifier and I enjoy the light, trickle sound, nightlight colours and angled spout. I will definitely use it when needed and feel confident it will do the job. I'm mostly annoyed with the shape and water intake, and I feel at 84.99 CAD, it is a little pricey but humidifiers generally are so I can't fault it too much for that. If I was in the market again, I'd probably look elsewhere but there is nothing overly wrong with this model, just some preference points.
