Best praise vs top criticism for Levoit Superior 6000S
“What the other poster said is not true. You're breathing the white dust and it's composed of minerals. I don't know what you're reading that states that the 6000s requires a lot of maintenance but I'm on my third season with one. I have it set to dry the filters when the tank runs out, which takes about a half hour. Depending on whether you have V1 or V2 determines whether the tank needs to be emptied or washed. Six gallons of tap water. Only puts out water vapor, any minerals in the tap water run through the filters and winds up back in the tank.”
“I'm on my third season with a 6000s. If I could make wick styles illegal I would since you get a week or two out of the wick before water gets blocked by scale build up. The water drips down on the filters into the 6000s tub and gets drawn up again. Water doesn't flow uphill.”
