This definitely has 5-star features, but a few of them aren’t done perfectly well. I debated whether to give it 4-stars, but in the end, I know I’m generally more critical at first and warm up to things over time – so I went with 5-stars. Right off the bat, I do have to say I like how this humidifier looks. The touch functionality is also good or they have a remote. I also measured the watts being pulled in various situations and the device is well controlled.

It has 3 misting speeds and then a couple of programs, which are the smart aspects, to deploy those such as targeting a humidity level, or baby mode where it adjusts the humidity speed depending on how far from 55% it is. So, it’s fully functional. That’s the good. The less optimal options are when I tapped the light, I thought nothing happened. I had to turn the device around to tell it was even lit. Granted, it’s a night light. So, it should be dim. However, it should be a little more apparent that something actually happened when a button was pushed – or you need to push a button and see a color at the same time. It has a mist deflector which can point in 360 degrees – so long as that 360 is less of a point and instead is largely just straight up. It doesn’t really deflect and at some points I think the machine would run better without it altogether. The JRD Smart Humidifier is technically quiet and I say technically because the noises it makes are not loud enough to register on most sound meters that start at 30db, nor are they particularly disruptive. I simply found myself asking why. It makes a bubbling water dripping sound. That’s pretty common among humidifiers. Then it started making a whirling sound like a small pump was on – which given it’s gravity fed I have no idea what purpose that noise serves and it continues even when the mist isn’t on. Then if you turn on the heat it starts making the same water heater sound you’ve probably heard from the single serve coffee machine in a hotel room. None are loud.
