Does this function as a hot mist humidifier, providing a steady stream of warm mist?

No hot mist. This is just for vaporizing essential oils and making the room smell lovely. I really like mine. However, if you are looking for something to steam you face or create warm mist this is NOT for you.

No this is not a warm mist humidifier. It is a cool mist humidifier I use with essential oils.

So sorry to say, it does NOT. It's a fabulous diffuser, but not strong enought to emit a true humidifying effect.

Eventhough it's not a humidifier, it does put some moister in the air. Honestly I prefer it over humidifier because its much quiter, and the mist finer putting just enough moiter in the air to aliviate dry sinus. I run it for 3 hours in the eve before bed time then reset to and additional 3 when going to bed and it does the trick for us (10x12 room).

I would say well, it gives out plenty of mist. I use mine with Doterra oil in it for health benefits.

I doubt it would work well or be good for the humidifier. Water flows from the tank down underneath, where it bubbles and spits and makes water vapor, which rises up the tube in the middle.

It is a cool mist humidifier. I have had one for a year now and would not buy another one. It is very large, very noisy and does not have a great system for refilling the water.

I would not use it as a humidifier. While it does put a small amount of water into the air, the real purpose is to diffuse essential oils. We live in Utah (a high mountain desert) and in the winter use a humidifier as well as our diffuser. If your intent is to add moisture to the air, I would get a humidifier. However, some people will use the humidifier and place Vicks in the reservoir to help with breathing. If that's your intent, then this diffuser and essential oils will work much, much, much better.

Yes it is a cool mist almost more like a vapor. This diffuser works fabulous.

It doesn't have a warm mist, but it would be the temperature of the water you put into it. However, you're not supposed to use warm or hot water with this machine. Also, you should really only use filtered or purified water to make weekly cleaning easier.

No, it is strictly a humidifier. There's a cotton wick in it and it would just suck up all the oils. If you're looking for something that produces mist and is an oil diffuser as well I highly recommend the H2EO Ultrasonic Diffuser.

Answer: This is a cool mist. The amount of mist being emitted can be varied by altering the fan speed. I suppose one could use hot water to create a warm mist, but I would not recommend that as it might encourage bacterial growth and be counter productive. Hope this helps.

I believe the amount of moisture placed into the air by this machine is not sufficient to add to the humidity. It does a good job of dispersing essential oils, but the entire cycle with the reservoir filling is 100 ml - not much water. I suggest a humidifier instead

As I recall, it was cool. I do not recommend the humidifier unless you want everything in the vicinity soaking wet (carpet, any furniture, books.), and that is on the low setting. Mine is sitting in a box to be used only in a closed bathroom and who needs it when there is a shower there already.

I use mine in a large open room and it works well as a diffuser. As a humidifier, I would recommend a smaller room.

Yes. It is cool mist (evaporative). It works very well, but requires a good bit of cleaning due to our hard water. It is also fairly loud, but worthwhile in the dry climate we live in.Hmm...I kinda wish Amazon would let me know that the question has already been answered when I click to respond.

No, the Venta works off relative humidity. It only evaporates as much water as the from room needs.

No. Definitely not. If you're wanting something that adds a measurable amount of moisture to the air, get an actual humidifier. This diffuser is only about 6 inches tall, and outputs less than 1 cup of water over about 6-8 hours. I use it for aromatherapy and it sits on my desk at work. It's that small.

I haven't used the warm setting b/c research shows that the heat causes mold to grow faster and that a cool mist is better overall. It is a great unit. Keeps our daughters room at 55+ humidity with air heat in our house. It requires regular cleaning which we use distiller vinegar and it works great.
