REVIEW – I live on the East Coast of the United States. Every winter, it seems like our home and heating system result in a humidity issue and everyone in the house starts to cough, have dry throats, stuffy noses, and nose bleeds. We have found that a good humidifier is a cure for this experience. So, I am always on the lookout for a new and capable humidifier. For this test and review, I am taking the Kyvol HD3 Cool Mist Humidifier for a spin.
What is it?
The Kyvol Vigoair HD3 Humidifier is a 4.5 liter Cool Mist Humidifier that is also quiet at 26dB. It features a rotatable 360° nozzle and can maintain comfortable humidity for up to 75 hours.

This humidifier is easy and straightforward to fill and operate. Like most humidifiers, it contains a replaceable filter. Unlike some other similar devices that I have tried, this one makes filling and refilling the water an easy process by allowing you to fill it with the base in an upright position. Others that I have tried require you to remove the tank and turn it upside down to fill it. The following shows the steps to prepare this humidifier for use.
This humidifier works well for most scenarios in my household, but I have found that at times I need to add warmth to the mist, or at times I only want it to operate for a specific length of time. There are no controls to do so nor does it offer the warm option as compared to other humidifiers that I own, albeit that the device I am using for comparison is almost triple the cost of this device.
The photo below is of the controls of another humidifier that I use in another room. As you can see, it offers several options to tailor the experience to more accurately address your needs.
Otherwise, this humidifier provides a consistent cool mist at whatever level you set it, and does last through the night without any issue. It is very quiet and does not leave the area around it wet as some other devices do. I tend to refill the tank each night to ensure the best opportunity for a restful night.
Kyvol also lists other benefits of using this humidifier that include moisturizing your skin, hair, and plants. 🙂
What I like
- The build quality
- The consistent level of steam
- The overall consistent performance
- It looks good in a room
What I’d change
- Provide more controls
Final thoughts
The Kyvol Vigoair HD3 Cool Mist Humidifier is well built and works consistently with no large variances in the level of steam it produces. if you suffer from a stuffy nose, nose bleed caused by issues with humidity and coughing, and a dry throat when sleeping, this humidifier would work for you. If you need to dial-in the level of steam for a more specific use, this device does lack those more customizable controls. However, IMHO, for the price this is a very good buy.
Price: $39.99

This humidifier is awesome! Our house is so dry so we have been using it in our main living room during the day and then we bring it up to the bedroom at night (need to get another one). It really doesn’t make any noise at all, and it blows the moisture out in a way where it disperses nicely and does not get the ground or anything around it wet. It’s a sleek design and lasts through the night even on high. Highly recommended!!!! https://pinzira.com/category/Home-Appliances-Kvuyr
