How warm is the warm mist feature? How does this produce warm mist?

I love this unit. I actually have two because I have one at my office. I tested the warm mist feature just now and it did not get warm at all, even after 30 minutes.

I found the mist to be just right. It has 2 settings, 1 the flow is constant, 2 will go on and off every few seconds.

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.

It's a cool mist. You definitely don't want it blowing right at you, as it will chill you. This is a "wicking" humidifier, because it has a wick / a.k.a. "filter" inside, that is soaked with water. The air passes through this wick, in order to pick up humidity.

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

Yes, it's a cool mist. The water container comes off and is easily cleaned. The top part that is the mister comes off as well for cleaning. Hope this helps....

I finally found my unit. You have to hold the mist button down for the unit to work. You can turn the fan on, but no mist will come out unless you depress and hold the mist button on the front (below the fan). I have another unit called the ArizonaMist which does not have a fan, but you pump it up, turn it on, and it sprays a mist until the pressure runs out (a few minutes). Then you have to repump it. I think it is better for a car. Hope this helps.

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.

no, you cannot adjust the amount of mist. it's just a steady stream the whole time. And the item will turn off after certain amount of time. I've been incredibly happy with this purchase!

In all honesty, I never even knew that was a listed feature! I just tested it and (I tested at 5 mins. and 15 mins.) it gets back to the previous temperature very quickly, after initially coming out colder when first turned on. I had noticed that I get hot water from it far more quickly than from my bathroom faucet.

It has plenty of air flow, but air temp is just warm. I don't thing this would be what you want.

Dear Jennifer, The diffuser uses Ultrasonic waves to instantly vaporize water and essential oil in the tank, The process works without any heating elements&#65292;so the mist should be normally at room temperature. It may also depend on the temperature of the water you poured. If you have any question about the product, just email us through Amazon and we are here helping with any regard.

I did not do the calcs myself this info at the end is from another amazon shopper.... As I type this, it's 103 outside with 29% humidity. Inside, without the central air conditioner running, it's 102 and 30% humidity. I filled up this gizmo, turned it on, and the air coming out the front of the unit is 91 with 45% humidity. Since this cooler works by the phase-change of water into gas, you'll need to open your windows and let the air circulate so the humidity doesn't build up to the point where you're in a sauna and start to sweat like--um--someone who's in a sauna. It won't cool down an entire room, but if you'll be typing away on your computer like I am, you'll be sitting in one place. So sit next to the cooling breeze with an iced tea, and you'll be happy as a clam. Here's some numbers for how it works, and what's reasonable to expect from this cooler . . . Everyone knows that to generate steam, you apply lots of heat to water. You'll be happy to learn that if you dip a towel in water and hang it to dry, the liquid water changes to vapor, and in the process absorbs heat. How much heat, you ask? Water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon. To turn one lb of water to vapor, you need to apply about 910 BTU of heat. Multiply 910 times 8.3 and you get 7553 BTU. So, if you can entice a swamp cooler to vaporize one gallon of water in one hour, it will (about) cool as much as a regular window unit rated at 7500 BTU. However, this particular machine professes to vaporize about half a liter of water (about one pint) in an hour. One pint is 1/8 of a gallon, which is about one lb of water, so you can assume this machine will cool at the rate of 900 BTU per hour, which is about 20% of what a small window air conditioner will provide

You can select warm mist or cool mist. Try not to switch between mist types to frequently as you will create a mini hurricane in your home.

Not really sure, it does not put off any heat with the vapor but it is a cool mist. It takes several hours for the water to run out so you would probably need to compare the amount of water used per hour with a regular humidifier vs this. I do really like this one though, it's honestly my favorite diffuser because it holds a lot of water and has a high and low so you can adjust it. Also, just a little essential oil in this can be smelled in my entire house (my others only work well in a small room) so it puts off a great deal of "mist".

This unit can perform cool OR warm mist. .... Your choice. Have only used the cool mist option but I must say it is THE BEST humidifier I have ever used. I would have to believe it is just as efficient on warm as it is on cool. 5 star!

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