MAOZUA Mini USB Humidifier Review

Whisper silent yet really effective!

This item arrived in a strong, protective, brown cardboard box. Inside the box were the humidifier unit itself, a spare wick, an instruction manual, a flat USB cable, and a cup matching the humidifier unit.

The humidifier is sort of water lily shaped, and it can sit in any container with water in, such as a cup or vase, as long as the top isn’t submerged. The wick draws in water through the side of the “stalk”, and the tiny piezo pulsing unit at the top sends out the moisture in cool misty clouds.

Small and functional – perfect for desks!

This item arrived in a retail style, translucent plastic protective box. Inside the box was the unit itself, a small instruction manual, and the power cable. The cable is a standard USB plug on the power end, but unfortunately goes to a bespoke jack plug on the unit end, so you can’t just use any old USB cable you have lying around the house.

The device is small, with a white light available, so it can just be used as a desk light, with or without the diffuser function. The aromas from the oil come out in a visible stream of cold water vapour from the top – I’ve seen stronger streams, but this one still does the job well. It really gets the fragrance out across the room in just seconds.

Really nice new take on the humidifier / diffuser scene!

This item arrived in a tall, solid, attactive, glossy protective retail style box, with the item, instruction manual and power lead inside. The humidifier has an extremely interesting design, which really comes to life when powered on.

I’ve seen lots of diffusers and humidifiers over the past few months, and this one is definitely unique. It’s powered through micro-usb, so you can have it on your desk powered from a computer, and you can use any old lead you have knocking about, if the provided one isn’t right, or you want to leave that plugged in somewhere.
