Is this a cool mist or warm mist humidifier? Or both cool and warm?

ultrasonic - cool mist. Don't confuse with evaporative units. Unit is almost silent, and produce a cool steam-like mist.

It is a cool mist only, which is far better for the lungs and nasal passages.

Mine died before warranty ended and I received a new one. I haven't had any problems since. There seems to be a problem, if you read many of the reviews, between it switching between hot and cold mist. Obviously, if you can, return it. Sorry can't be more helpful.

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

Yes, it is. It delivers a fine mist or vapor into the air, like a cool mist humidifier. It is NOT FOR MEDICAL USE.

No, they are cool mist. Mine doesn't heat the water at all. I had this problem with the last one I had and there was a piece of metal between the cap to the reservoir and the circle seal that is underneath it when you put it onto the base. It created water that was like tea temperature, normally the water should be cool like a little cooler than room temperature.

I have a gauge that detects humidity in the house and it changes when I run the humidifier, plus there is less static electricity in the air. No vapor because it's cold air. No condensation because it has an automatic shut off feature when it reaches the level of humidity that you preset.

It provides a cool mist. I believe you can't use any oils with the humidifier. It asks for cold water only.

Cool mist. Actually you won't see or feel the mist directly, but the air in the room will have more humidity. We use it in the bedroom, where it helps us avoid waking up in the morning with that awful "dry-mouth" feeling.

Cool mist only but doesn't send out a dust like some warm air ones do...such as an ultra-sonic humidifier.

It is not a warm mist humidifier, it is just a very noisy cool humidifier that I do not recommend to buy.

No mist just air and it comes out the lower front. This is a could humidifier not a warm, so there is no mist.

I live on Long Island, NY and we have humid temperatures only in the summer months. I have used it many times and I feel that it does cool you down. It sprays a light mist, plus the fan, which is a great thing to have outdoors and makes the humidity bearable!

We've had ours for a few weeks, the best it's done is 36%, but it's really dry here and the temp has hovered between -5 and 20 degrees. Without this humidifier we were only between 12 and 18%, so it's a big improvement! We don't run it on high though,, go between med and low.

I don't think it "Uses heat", but the mist does become very warm, almost hot after a few hours of diffusing.

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.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

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.
