's key takeaways

  • The Dreo Smart 5L Humidifier isavailable on Amazon for$74.99 .
  • This humidifier is easy to use, includes a demineralization filter, works with Alexa, allows you to add essential oils, adds both sleep and auto modes, and packs plenty of other features to help it rise above the rest.
  • The only downside of the Dreo Smart 5L Humidifier is that it doesn't offer a warm mist option.

Along with being a writer, I've been an actor and singer for decades. Those two other skills require that I take care of my body, which includes my voice. To that end, I've depended on humidifiers for a very long time. And because I suffer from year-round allergies, which cause perpetual dry mouth and throat, raising the humidity in my office (or whatever room I'm in) is essential.

I've been using an inexpensive (but very effective) humidifier I purchased from Amazon years ago. That humidifier predates the whole smart revolution, which means it's a set-it-and-forget-it device. The only thing I have to do with that humidifier is add water now and then.

Recently, I was sent theDreo Smart 5L humidifier for review. I've become rather skeptical of devices that claim to be "smart." Not every piece of hardware has to be smart. And, if I'm being 100% honest, a humidifier certainly doesn't need the added boost of intelligence.

This smart humidifier does a great job of not only keeping ambient air moist but also greatly simplifying the process.

However, I played along. I set up the Dreo 5L Smart Humidifier, installed the app, and connected the device to my network. For the most part, I've used the Dreo without the app, but that's not to say the app doesn't have a place. Actually, I found there are features in the app that I rather like (such as scheduling, cleaning reminders, and filter life). That doesn't mean you have to use the app.

But, in the name of the review, I willingly dove down that rabbit hole.

The specs

What is there to say about a humidifier? Add water, turn on, and mist gently wafts from the machine. However, the Dreo does add a few nice options. Here are the specs.

  • Dual-intake and 360
