Our take on the Equate 0.5-Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier

The Equate 0.5-Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier is a small top-fill unit for bedrooms and other small-to-medium rooms. It runs up to 24 hours on a fill, offers low and medium mist settings, a built-in timer and a seven-color nightlight. It is a budget pick: it lacks a humidity sensor, auto mode and a high setting, so it does less than pricier ultrasonic humidifiers. With 1,984 ratings averaging 3.9 out of 5, owners like the easy top-fill and the nightlight but report leaks, noise and units that stop misting.
