TLDR Review: Midea Ultrasonic Humidifier SC-3C50
Verdict
The Midea 1.3-Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier offers enticing features like adjustable humidity settings and convenient top-fill design. However, its struggle with algae growth, ineffective humidity increase in larger spaces, and durability issues, including leaking and cracking, significantly compromise its value. Buyer beware: only consider if you can maintain regular, thorough cleaning and if the noise levels suit less noise-sensitive environments.

- Consistent performance with accurate humidity readings.
- Top con:
- Quickly develops pink/orange algae in the ultrasonic tank.
