Warm mist for cold nights, cool mist year-round, sensor-held
Dreo HM713S

The winter bedroom pick. It does year-round cool mist but adds warm mist that takes the chill off dry air, while a ±5% sensor holds your target and a 6L tank runs all night. Warm mode draws real power and it's tall, but for soothing mist with smart control, it's the one.
The HM713S is the pick when winter is the whole reason you're shopping: it does standard cool mist, but its warm-mist mode heats the water so the output doesn't chill an already-cold bedroom, and warm mist disperses faster in dry winter air. A humidity sensor with auto mode holds your target, the top-fill tank is large enough for overnight-plus runtimes, and app control handles scheduling. Owner reports rate it quiet on low and praise the build for the price. Two honest notes: warm-mist mode uses meaningfully more electricity, and like every ultrasonic unit it prefers distilled water in hard-water areas.

What we like
- ✓Warm and cool mist in one unit
- ✓Humidity sensor with genuine auto mode
- ✓Large top-fill tank with overnight runtime
- ✓App scheduling and quiet low speed
- ✓Warm mist disperses well in cold rooms
Trade-offs
- −Ultrasonic - white dust with tap water (use distilled)
- −Warm-mist heating element needs periodic descaling
- −Tall and bulky (~14 in) - harder to tuck away; warm mist draws much more power
- −A few testers flagged build/durability
Best for
Cold-winter bedrooms: warm mist takes the chill off dry air, the sensor holds your target humidity, and the large tank runs through the night.
Avoid if
There are young kids in the room and you'd run warm mist — hot-water output is a burn consideration — or you want zero-effort cleaning, where the evaporative picks win.

How we know
High confidenceLast checkedThe Dreo HM713S is PickGrade's warm-mist pick — a smart ultrasonic humidifier that does what most bedroom units can't: switch between cool and warm mist. Cool mist is the safe, year-round default, while warm mist (it produces an 86°F mist in about five minutes, adjustable higher) gives faster, more soothing relief on cold, dry winter nights. It pairs a large 6-liter top-fill tank with up to ~60 hours of runtime, and Dreo's MistWave tech throws a tall 43-inch mist column for even distribution. The smart side is genuinely good: a high-precision humidity sensor (±5%) powers an accurate Auto mode that holds your target (settable 30-90%) and shuts off once reached, preventing damp over-humidification, and the Dreo app (with Alexa/Google) adds 30-day humidity tracking and cleaning reminders. Three one-touch modes (Manual, Auto, Sleep) and near-silent operation — Live Science measured as low as ~14 dB on cool — make it easy to live with, and top-fill keeps refills tidy. The honest caveats: as an ultrasonic unit it can throw white dust with tap water (use distilled), and the warm-mist heating element needs periodic descaling; it's fairly tall and bulky (~14 inches), so it's harder to tuck away; warm mist draws much more power than cool; and a few testers flagged build and durability. For soothing warm mist with smart control, it's the pick.
