Bad service – Order placed , money taken , 11 days later still not sent , 3 emails no response ordered filters , absolutely annoyed, they haven't sent a email in response scam I'd say not good enough

I just can't get a response from them – I actually love the humidifier when it is working. It has stopped again and I think it is the filter but I will never know because they never reply

Absolute scam. Don’t buy from them – Steer clear of this company. They present well online, claim to have positive reviews on their website but check the product review sites. I didn’t do that and wish I did. Ordered a large unit and it didn’t work from day 1. Took weeks to receive it and when it arrived, although packaged well, clearly came from a cheap factory in Asia. I emailed… Read more

them about it not working and they asked me to video myself charging the unit which they claimed would solve the problem. I had charged it as soon as I took it out for a full day and again when they asked. Still doesn’t work and never heard from them again. It’s over two weeks since the first email. No accountability. Scam.

Horrible customer support. Looks like a scam! – This company seems dodgy!! It seems like a scam but I really hope they aren't. We ordered 4 items on 27 Feb but it hasn't arrived. We only received a confirmation email of the order. They took the money already. I've tried to follow up on the order and then get a refund cause we had to buy one urgently but they're not replying to my emails nor… Read more

Recent update: We recieved one humidifier after i flooded thier social media with bad reviews AND it stopped working after 10mins of use. Does not want to charge. But just as I was going to give up. 1 month later we recieved the 2nd humidifier we ordered (after I also requested for a refund because only 1 was delivered). To be fair, at least this one is working so far. It's the smaller model.

(Yes i know, we were stupid enough to buy 2 from them. Oh well lesson painfully learned)

Another update: added another star just cause the 2nd product (the smaller himidifier) actually works well and is still working.

DO NOT BUY!!! – Absolutely disappointing to be SO excited about this humidifier to receive it and it DOES NOT work! Charged it overnight for it to work for 10 minutes! Absolutely annoyed that I paid $75 for a faulty product! DO NOT BUY THIS HUMIDIFIER!!!!!

Scam company! – Wow! Can’t believe I didn’t do a proper google search. I ordered a humidifier 3+ weeks ago, shipping details provided very quickly, however the package was returned to sender. I’ve sent an email asking for an update and haven’t received a reply. I will contact my bank for a chargeback. Please avoid!

Scam Company – Ordered unit, money successfully taken from account. No confirmation email, have emailed twice, used the contact us form online, messenger, Facebook. No response! Like many others I read reviews on the website but not on this platform. Company is looking like a scam.

Cheap Chinese unit arrived in plastic bag and box was damaged – This product, while advertised $100+ is cheap, imported directly from China and delivered in a flimsy plastic satchel. It took weeks to arrive and the box was damaged in transit and the $15 filters arrived in a zip lock bag.

It’s scam! Run far away – I have been ordered it 3 months ago and trying to ask where is it now? They have been email with fake delivery investigation from post office. Please do waste your money and time on this product. It’s totally a scam !!

Another "wish I'd read the reviews" member! $135 out of pocket! – I received my 2 mini humidifiers yesterday and they are both leaking! I actually thought I read reviews on their sites, but of course, they are likely misleading. I'm sad I didn't dig a little bit deeper. I have emailed them with a photo of the leak but I'm starting to think I will probably never get a reply and just lost AUD$135. Don't make the same mistake most of us have made and don't buy this product!

Terrible product – First of all ,The charger wasn’t included. The steam wasn’t even noticeable. The charge didn’t last for long, just max 2 hours. And it died after few months. Terrible product, worse customer service. Don’t waste your money .

Adding myself to the ‘wish I’d read the reviews first’ camp – Similar experience over $100 paid. Took 4 mths to arrive, poorly packaged and clearly beaten in transit. Worked for about 20mins then died - when it did work output was pathetic considering I bought the so called ‘Large’). Tried charging per I struction it now switches on and works for about 15seconds then flashes orange and turns off. Waiting for… Read more

response from them but based on other reviews won’t hold my breath.Will report to ACCC if they don’t resolve and others should do same if they didn’t resolve your issues.that’s the only way to stop dodgy companies.

Worst company ever – I have paid over $100 and received express delivery it was two weeks later that it still wasn’t shipped and another two weeks later it was returned to the warehouse emad was never received. I have requested a refund and three weeks later and still yet to get my money back. I am not happy with its service or lying emails.

terrible product, horrible customer service, so so disappointed – I ordered this product was so excited about it as I was advised a humidifier would aid my asthma. The product took over a month to arrive, which was surprising as I’m in Australia and it’s an Australian brand. It then stopped working very soon after I started using it. I used it to exact specifications, so I emailed them to get advise, to problem… Read more

solve with them or get a replacement and was met with very little help and to be honest a pretty rude and unprofessional email, basically saying I would not be receiving a replacement product as the little bit of problem solving they did suggest did not work, so therefore, in their opinion the product was not faulty… yet it doesn’t work??? This makes no sense whatsoever!

All I wanted was to return the faulty one and receive a new one, as it helped my asthma and I told them this! Yet my request was still received with absolutely no care for customer satisfaction. How is it possible to have a 7 day policy on a product like this??? This leaves them completely free to sell faulty products and not have to fix the issues with unhappy customers who are genuinely looking for something to aid them with their health and well-being. Very upset

*Recieved wrong product *avoiding email communication *consumer affairs Victoria great tool – *Recieved wrong product. Thankfully consumer affairs Victoria are very quick in helping out. *Himist claim to not recieving my email prolonging the time it takes to correct the order. There's no other communication except email. Chinese company trading in Australia with no accountability. AVOID!!

Worst product ever – Wish I read these reviews before I wasted my money. Doesn’t even work and when it does absolutely no mist comes out there is no point even using it.

Worse company to deal with – Thought it was in Australia.... nope, took forever to come. Finally came, product doesn't work. After back and fourth with company decide to get refund, so follow their customer service directions on how to return. Sitting at the PO Box now for 2 weeks they aren't picking up the item so I can't get a refund. Not happy...  Show details

The worst purchase – This is the worst product. There is barely anything coming out of this so called humidifier. I should’ve done my research before purchasing this terrible product. Do not purchase and waste your time and money.

What a scam! – I should have read these reviews before purchasing this product. Exacity the same thing happened to me. It stopped working within a couple of months, so i changed the filter (which they sent the incorrect size but said i could cut it to size), and it still wasn't working. I emailed and they said there was nothing they could do because I didn't let… Read more

them know with 30 days and because there was a missing part (which was missing when I got it!!). The best they could do was offer a $25 store credit (um, no). This company is an absolute scam. So unethical. Such an overpriced piece of junk.

Terrible overpriced rubbish - DO NOT PURCHASE – If I could give this no stars I would. I bought 3, thankfully half price which is still a rip-off. The mist was good when it worked. One didn't work from day one, I emailed them with a video showing little to no mist output. Now another month has passed and a second one doesn't work at all and the third is also barely misting. I have emailed again… Read more

today to follow up (I never heard back the first time) and I am not holding out much hope for a refund based on the other reviews. I bought them for my indoor plants. I spent the same money on 2 proper humidifiers from Amazon and they work a treat. I do not recommend this product AT ALL

DO NOT BUY - Absolute Rubbish Product – Bought for toddlers room as she is now in big girls bed not cot. Safety was my main reason for buying. Took forever to arrive. Didn’t work from day one. They asked for a video proving it didn’t mist !!!! Go figure - but I obliged with a video showing it not misting. They wanted me to pay to return their faulty product - I don’t think so.

goodness for PAYPAL. I got my money back and had great pleasure tossing this garbage in the bin. Never again.

PIECE OF GARBAGE - DO NOT BUY!! – Thank god I bought this product half price! And even there that was over price! 3 months in (it lasted 3 months, I guess I should be lucky) battery stopped working. Can't charge it anymore and doesn't work when the Himist is plugged. When contacted, the company replied a few hours later which I was amazed, I was sure they would help with this… Read more

faulty product. But because this happened after 30 days (30 days!!!!!) then they can't do anything. Gave me a little voucher of $25 to spend on my next product ahahaha (no thank you!)

Anyway, without this issue, the humidifier is actually not very performant and doesn't make that much mist.

Don't buy!! Super disappointing! I definitely wasted my money :(

Overpriced piece of junk – This thing doesn’t do anything to relieve allergy/sinus congestion. And the customer service experience I received when I had a problem was perhaps the worst I have ever received.

Do not purchase from here - Chinese retailer posing as Australian – Fake as website, although it looks good. Learn from my mistake and do not purchase from here. An example of a product listed is Classic Portable Air Humidifier (GXZ-J625) $74.95 (50% off $149.95). You can find it online for $25 - with negative reviews.
