Evaporative 1,500 mL/h 3,000 ft² claimed Tap water

A 6-gallon evaporative humidifier on wheels, with washable wick filters, a tap-water tank and Wi-Fi control, that Levoit rates for up to 3,000 ft².

Pros

Evaporative: EPA does not expect this type to disperse substantial minerals, so tap water is a reasonable fill, unlike with an ultrasonic unit.
Levoit publishes its moisture output, 1,500 mL/h, so the room-size claim can be checked with arithmetic instead of taken on trust.
A 6-gallon tank filled at the sink with the included hose, and up to 72 hours between refills on low.
Auto mode holds a target from 30% to 60%, so it can be capped at the 50% EPA advises not to exceed.

Cons

Revision gap: Levoit documents LEH-S601S-WUS, while the Amazon listing names LEH-S602S-WUS, for which Levoit publishes no manual.
Running costs: the wick filters last 3–6 months and the water filter sponge a month, per Levoit's manual.
The 3,000 ft² claim matches our arithmetic at 0.5 air changes an hour; at one air change it covers about half that.
Large and heavy for a room unit: 26.8 inches tall and 13.2 lb before water.

Our editorial rating, not a lab measurement. Weighted on documented output against the room-size claim, humidifier type under EPA's guidance, water and cleaning demands, running costs and documentation of the exact unit sold. Held back by the revision gap and filter costs.

Verdict

Levoit documents what matters for a large humidifier — output, tank, runtime and filter life — and the evaporative design suits tap water. Check the model number when it arrives: Levoit's documents describe a different revision from the one Amazon sells.

Check which revision you receive

Levoit's product page and manual describe model LEH-S601S-WUS, but the Amazon listing we link names LEH-S602S-WUS, and Levoit publishes no manual for that revision. The output, filter life and box contents on this page come from the S601S documents.

How to check once it arrives. Read the model number on the rating label, and if it says S602S, ask Levoit support for the matching manual before relying on these figures.

How much it can humidify

Our calculation, not the manufacturer’s

What 1,500 mL/h can keep at 40% humidity

Outdoor air replacing indoor air	Maximum
0.35× an hour	4,440 ft²
0.5× an hour	3,110 ft²
Once an hour	1,550 ft²

Each square foot of floor under an 8 ft ceiling needs about 0.97 mL of water every time its air is replaced by freezing outdoor air, to hold 70°F at 40% humidity. Divide the output by that and by how often your home swaps its air. Leakier homes swap more often, so the same machine covers less. Levoit claims 3,000 ft². Output from Levoit's manual for model LEH-S601S-WUS.

Is it the right one for you?

Who it's for

You want to humidify an open-plan floor or connected rooms from one machine.
You would rather fill from the tap than buy distilled water.
You want app control and a humidity target you can cap at 50%.

Who should skip it

You want a small bedside unit — it is 27 inches tall.
You want no recurring filter cost.

Water, cleaning and running costs

Type. Levoit calls it a smart evaporative humidifier: a fan draws air through wick filters that a pump keeps wet from the tank.

Water. Tap water. Levoit's page describes filling it from the tap with the included hose.

Cleaning. Clean the tank and change the water every 3 days, per Levoit's manual.

What you keep buying. Wick filters (set of 4) (3–6 months, depending on weather and water quality); Water filter sponge (monthly).

EPA’s guidance for every portable humidifier: empty and refill the tank daily, clean it every third day, and do not humidify above 50%.

4 things we could not verify — we leave these blank rather than estimate them

Levoit publishes no manual or specification sheet for LEH-S602S-WUS; every figure here comes from the LEH-S601S-WUS manual and Levoit's current product page.
The output figure is Levoit's own. AHAM's Verifide directory currently lists air cleaners only, so no independent program checks humidifier output.
Our coverage arithmetic assumes 70°F and 40% humidity indoors with freezing outdoor air; colder or damper conditions change the result.
The CPSC search covered recalls that mention Levoit or VeSync. It cannot show problems that never led to a recall.

Package contents vary by variant and seller. Check what is in the box on the Amazon listing before you buy. “Not verified” means the manufacturer does not document it either way — not that it is missing. “Not offered” is the other thing: the manufacturer does document it, and the answer is that this model does not have it.

How we researched this

Checked against EPA's guidance on home humidifiers, the CPSC recall database and the manufacturer's own pages. We did not test this humidifier. Nothing here is a measurement of ours: every figure is either documented by the manufacturer or published by an independent standards or testing body, and where the two disagree this page says so.
