Today I’m diving into a truly unique item I stumbled across online: a “Jellyfish Humidifier.” Technically, the packaging calls it a “Jellyfish Aroma Diffuser,” and the listing on Temu refers to it as the “Jellyfish Mist Humidifier Aromatherapy Diffuser.” No matter what you call it, this intriguing little gadget was too tempting to pass up. I picked it up for $24.85 on Temu, though I’ve seen similar items priced between $25 and $60 on Amazon. As always, I was both skeptical and hopeful as it’s a bit of a gamble with these types of products. Let’s get into it!
Where to Purchase
I picked up my unit on Temu at this listing. As we all know, Temu listings come and go quickly, so I assume that listing will be gone before most people even read this. I did find what appears to be the same unit on Amazon here.
First Impressions: Unboxing
Unboxing the jellyfish humidifier, I was greeted with a fairly straightforward package: the unit itself, a power adapter (always a plus), and a remote control. Instructions were included, but let’s just say they left a lot to be desired. The manual didn’t feature step-by-step guidance; instead, it focused on the functions of each button. For a product like this, you’re mostly on your own.
Here’s what the manufacturer claims: it’s a color-changing aromatherapy machine with two modes: “jellyfish” and “direct spray.” It holds 250ml of water, can use essential oils or plain water, and even reacts to sound or music. It’s also remote-controlled and voice-activated.
Setting It Up
The setup process started with a bit of trial and error, thanks to those lackluster instructions. The humidifier has three buttons, labeled in the manual as Key 1, Key 2, and Key 3. Key 1 is the main workhorse, while Key 2 offers secondary functions, and Key 3 is reserved for light settings. Speaking of lights, there are several modes to choose from:
- Golden Light: A warm and pleasant glow.
- Breathing Light: A soothing light that slowly changes color.
- Colorful Jump: A more dynamic and vibrant color shift.
I filled the reservoir to the max line (about 6 ounces of water) and got started. So far, so good!
Jellyfish Mode: The Main Attraction
Now for the fun part: the jellyfish mode. As the name suggests, this mode produces mist patterns resembling jellyfish. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The mist does have a jellyfish-like effect, rising about 12 inches before dissipating. It’s a mesmerizing feature, albeit a bit sensitive to air movement. Any breeze in the room disrupts the effect, so keep that in mind.
Interestingly, the instructions don’t explicitly mention how to activate the jellyfish mode, which seems like a major oversight. After some experimenting, I figured out that it’s controlled by pressing Key 1. There’s also a speed setting that allows you to adjust how quickly the mist is released. I preferred the faster setting for a more dramatic effect.
Direct Spray Mode
Switching to direct spray mode, the mist came out in a steady stream from the center of the device. It’s a practical feature for those more interested in the humidifying aspect than the aesthetic appeal. The spray is consistent and effective, which was another pleasant surprise.
The Voice-Activated Feature
Here’s where the jellyfish humidifier really won me over. It has a voice-activated mode that reacts to any sound. Every time I spoke, it triggered a burst of jellyfish mist. This feature was way cooler than I expected and worked flawlessly. I even played some music with a strong beat, and the mist synchronized beautifully with the rhythm. It’s an unexpected party trick that’s sure to impress guests.
Light Settings in Action
The light settings add another layer of charm. In a dark room, the vibrant colors really stand out. My favorite was the breathing mode, where the light gently shifts between hues. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to pause on a specific color, but the dynamic lighting complements the mist effects nicely.
Final Thoughts
I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting much from this product, but it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. The jellyfish effect is unique and works as advertised (as long as the air is still), and the voice activation adds a fun interactive element. The vibrant lighting is a bonus, and even the basic humidifying and aroma diffuser functions are solid.
It’s definitely a conversation piece and a fun addition to any space. I’m curious to see how it holds up over time, but for now, it’s staying out on display, probably next to my fireplace wax melt warmer, another crowd-pleaser.
