I got this recently, when I want to use it, the mist did not come out, why?

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!

Take the cover off, lift with the handle and turn upside down. There is a screw cap, unscrew and fill with water. Put back together and turn on. It should work.

It's a cool mist. You definitely don't want it blowing right at you, as it will chill you. This is a "wicking" humidifier, because it has a wick / a.k.a. "filter" inside, that is soaked with water. The air passes through this wick, in order to pick up humidity.

I found mine misted properly for shorter & shorter durations over time. I also had something growing in the oil after a while. I hope you have better luck.

Mine died before warranty ended and I received a new one. I haven't had any problems since. There seems to be a problem, if you read many of the reviews, between it switching between hot and cold mist. Obviously, if you can, return it. Sorry can't be more helpful.

According to the directions in the instruction booklet, you must not use any drops or anything other than clean water in the humidifier. You also must not stick something in the opening where the mist comes out.

Ours did not work either. Jane finally got it to work. you need to pump the top up and down 10 times to build up the air pressure then it will spray a fine mist for 10-15 seconds, Works great! saves Oil usage. very pleased.

I'm not sure what the problem could be, I have not had any problems like that. Be sure the mist does not come too close to furniture or any thing else. Other than that, I really don't know what it could be.

i cant say for sure but the user manual says to keep away from humidity so if your diffuse releases mist then i wouldn't chance it, but you could always ask the manufacturer for the answer, they should know since they made it & using amazon website with details on the product there is a pdf file you could open with the manual that you can actually see which may be useful to answer your question.

You should see the mist immediately. Make sure the rubber stopper is on the body of the unit (the "On" switch), not the top. Next, try spinning the top so that the metal contacts touch those on the body of the unit. The top should go on easily and with a little magnetic pull. If this doesn't happen, it's not rotated correctly. That's all there is to it.

I do. I figure the water only gets "shaken" to make the mist, it is ok. I did notice, that if you only fill it to the 80 mark and not 100, it produces more mist. Im buying another I am so happy with the one I got. :)

Just unscrew the top and the insert with the wick will pull up and out(don't just pull by the wick either) I filled the cotton batten to the brim. Let it soak and fill again. I did form the wick to also, but I didn't cut it. Hope this helps.

You may have gotten water down in the electrical part of the diffuser. Empty all the water out, wipe it dry with a soft towel, and let it air dry for a couple of days and then give it a try. I knocked mine over and got water inside the electrical housing. It was working better after a couple of days so I emptied it out again and let it dry for a week--just to be sure. It worked fine after that. Otherwise, you may need to contact the manufacturer.

I just assembled mine and tried it as well, the vapor is coming out the bottom, I tried the wiggle technique, but still no help. I emailed the company but guess I won't hear back until Monday.

Yes, there should be a visible mist. Mine starts the mist almost immediately and uses almost all of the water when running for 180 minutes. Sounds like yours isn't working properly.

The sprayer should not have liquid. It might have been used and returned. Send it back.

I dont have such an issue, i have a misty spray but what i do every time after use is wipe it down with dry paper towel to avoid build up! Hope that helps

If the floor feels damp, either the air is not dry enough to absorb the mist or the the mist control is set too high. I only use my Optimus in cold weather when the furnace is cycling. That's when the air is really dry.
