In reviews it is noted that the humidifier quickly raises humidity: "The air in the room became quite moist pretty fast..."

It seems that somewhere after a couple of hours. Opinions differ. For someone, the first speed doesn't even disturb them at night. "Quite quiet. With the first speed turned on, the fan allows one to sleep peacefully." But there is also the opposite opinion: "On the first speed at night it is quite noisy, and my sleep is disturbed." Owners liked the integration with the smart home: "Excellent humidifier! Connected to 'Alice' and integrated into automation with a Xiaomi air purifier." Rank 9. Ballu UHB-330

Inside it there is a special membrane with high-frequency vibrations that splits water into the finest droplets, and the device disperses them into the air as cool mist. The model is simple: without Wi-Fi and complex automation, with mechanical control. However, there is aromatization and seven-color lighting, and the 3.3-liter tank lasts approximately nine hours.

What owners write The humidifier can quickly raise moisture levels even in large rooms: "In two days, working for six hours, it raised the humidity in a 20 m² room from 30% to 45–47%. The floor underneath remains dry. Almost silent and does not disturb sleep." Another owner liked the design itself: "The entire tank disassembles easily down to the smallest details — thus washing it and cleaning it of dust requires absolutely no effort." As for reliability, experience was mixed. For some the device works for over a year without problems, for others the first difficulties appeared within the first month: "Could not get along during the first month, but then the power dropped and it stopped moisturizing, the diffuser got clogged, and it was replaced under warranty."

It operates very quietly, the air in the room has become noticeably more pleasant." There is also a more detailed impression: "I was looking for a humidifier specifically for the bedroom, to operate quietly. This one is exactly what I needed. On medium power it's almost inaudible. No bright displays or lights that interfere with falling asleep." Four-liter tank,
