is it warm mist and does it have a filter?

Yes it is a warm mist, in fact if you have a small room it will warm up the room without heater. It only had a mineral filter, to remove minerals from water, that has to be changed every 90 days or sooner. You can buy them on Amazon. We used it for years for my son and still have it, he is grown up and we don't use it anymore. You do have to clean it often, specially if you use tap water but the cleaning isn't too bad.

It is warm mist and has a filter to collect the minerals from the water - it appears like salt on the little pad. The filters are not expensive though (a few dollars each) and it will operate without them, but you'd want to clean out the salts more.

No - there's no filter. These don't move the volume of air that an A/C does.

Nope! It is a very fine mist and with any circulation of air you won't have any trouble. Really great humidifier for small room or travel!

there is no mist. There is no cell to atomize water into the air. Evaporative. There are 2 paper wicks that look like corrugated paper filters, that soak up water. A fan draws air through / past the paper wicks.

Yes, it has a small wire mesh filter in the front that pulls down, and the directions say to rinse it off every couple of weeks to insure proper air filtration, but I didn't do that yet because there isn't anything in the filter. Hope this helps you.

No maintenance, a warm mist. Only problem. the small patch they provided is small, the vapor smell does not last long, about 30 to 45 minutes.

It is a cool mist. I've purchased four:three for my home, one for work and another for travel.

It is a cool mist. If you buy it (and I do recommend it) make sure you use distilled water. It will almost eliminate the white dust created from using regular water. No one wants to dust every day!

It is not a mist, as Jerry says. It's evaporative. Water is absorbed into two filters and the fan blows it out.

Yes, its a very fine mist though. You're not suppose to use filtered or distilled water. If I accidentally use filtered water I can't see anything.

Not so much a filter but it is more of a thin screen that slides out. The screen is easy to pull out and very easy to clean. It's a good air conditioner it works well.

This unit doesn't have any filters to bother with. It does have a small demineralization cartridge which can be purchased at the HoMedics webpage or Amazon. After the cartridge that came with the unit was used up, I didn't bother buying any. I don't notice any difference. I hope you like your HoMedics Cool Mist, I do! Another tip - every 7-10 days you'll want to clean the unit to get rid of the mold that builds up. I use a paint brush, an antibacterial spray cleaner and hot water.

I have the green one and it does have a filter. thought the price reasonable. I do have a complaint. Most of the time not a lot of mist comes out even on High. Only occasionally does it actually look like a High amount of mist is coming out. It hasn't really helped the dryness so unsure if it's working properly. This doesn't really address your question but thought you'd like to know.

It's a cool-like mist. You are supposed to use warm water in unit. The mist is generated via ultrasonic vibrations.

Yes there is a very large filter in the center of the unit. It needs to be changed periodically. The filter will turn brown and get stiff. There's an indicator light when the filter needs to be changed. I had unit a humidifier without a unit and it left a white film over my furniture and floor. I got rid of that one!

Yes, it does. It's under the category of magic. Different filters and settings.
