Is the mist visible? I have had the unit running for over an hour and I don't see any mist! The light is blue and water bubbles are forming inside the water resevour. I turned it off made sure water bottle was in right and turned it back on and still...

No mist for me either. Think the membrane is broken when no mist comes out. This happened to me before. sent the unit back and received replacement. same thing happened again, I just tossed it and got another model.

Sounds like you have an algae problem. Thats something the pump cannot fix. I had that last year and I got some algaecide and followed the bottle directions. It cleared up in a few days and i set my pump to run an hour longer.

I have not had that issue with mine. Are you trying to have fog run continuously? It will only produce fog for a limited duration and then needs to reheat.

that's a problem...if the water level is adequate and machine is cleaned, light should go off. Have you tried fiddling with removing and reinserting the water reservoir?

Hi Deborah! I found your question worthy of further investigation. Although I was pretty certain mine had run longer than 4 hours, I thought I would pay better attention today. lol I filled it to the max and it ran for 7 hours. (I may have lost track of the last hour. As the water level decreases, the mist isn't quite as "thick".) In any case, it ran longer than 4 hours. I am very pleased with the performance of this little room diffuser. Regards, Ms. Wit

The answer by "brbrigs" is correct! I just received mine in the mail and set it up and there was no mist coming out. Apparently I filled my tank with too much water and it looked like the basin at the base was a huge pool of water. I dumped that out and poured a few cups of water out of the tank. I restarted the humidifier and there is a strong mist coming out now! Try that. I think it'll work.

First thought is out of charge. I charge mine overnight every Saturday so I do not forget. If unit is fully charged - still doesn't work - may be defective - I would return for exchange. 2nd thought is you are using mouthwash mixed with water? Instructions state unit will be damaged if you do not use plain water. Was difficult for me to get used to.

The light started flashing in mine as well -- still worked though and I couldn't find where I put my manual. We completely emptied it out because we were going out of town for a week. When we returned it was working normally! Try emptying it and refilling, I read somewhere that the 'float' may not be working right, and thinks the machine is empty.

My unit does mist and does not bubble. Might want to contact the manufacturer on this one. When you find out please let us know. Good luck.

If you overfill it, it doesn't produce mist and therefor the water level doesn't go down. Also, make sure you are using tap water, or as the hilariously translated directions say, water derived from the pipes.

The light button on my unit doesn't "beep" at all. The button that operates the timer for the mist beeps. I know this sounds like a silly question, but are you sure you are pressing the right button? There are two right next to each other on mine and the one on the left is for the light.

My suggestion is to leave the unit operating in a closed space, with a door (a bathroom is good for this), for a couple of hours. then check if there is visible vapor. It your living space is exceedingly dry (especially if you have electric heating), the water vapor emitted will evaporate very rapidly after coming off the transducer. It takes a while for the relative humidity in the space being humidified to be high enough for water vapor to be visible.

I've had mine about 2 1/2 years. The fan still turns on, but the little metal plate no longer vibrates, so of course no mist is produced. :( Yes, it will also produce little or no mist if it has too much or too little water in the lower portion, but sometimes it just goes kaput regardless of any trouble shooting. For $90 I would have liked it to last longer. It was great while it lasted.

Sounds like a short somewhere, mine has worked fine, the only problem I have had is it leaks water al over, have to get some auqarium sealent and use it and see if that would work, Good luck, hope you can send it back and have them replace it.

The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough. Perhaps the plastic cover part connected to the tube is not seated correctly. I hate to suggest it, but make sure the separate toggle switch on the back of the unit is in the ON position. It could also be broken - I don't get the impression that the unit itself is very well designed or crafted. I don't even use the humidifier function on mine anymore. It's almost impossible to keep clean. It gets moldy in the transfer tube very easily. I wish I could return it and get a designated humidifier that was designed for that purpose. In hindsight, I would recommend that you avoid this gimmicky product. It promises way more than it can deliver. The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough.

Hello, I have never had this problem. I have seen micro bubbles just before the water starts to boil and against the blue Led light hue could be mistaken for what you are seeing only a guess. Regards

Almost immediately or let's say a couple of seconds. You have to turn the mist button or else if you just turn the "light" switch. No mist is coming out.
