I treat mine more like a breadcrumb trail than an exact pin. It’ll tell me the general area my bag is in, which is usually enough. If you need to know which couch cushion it’s under, you’ll probably be disappointed.

I’d grab one before heading out, no point risking it for the sake of a few bucks.

I’d still give it a couple of weeks before judging it.

Mine does the same thing after it’s been running for a couple hours, especially if the room is warm and the water in the tank is cool. I think it’s just moisture building up on the inside of the plastic, nothing more than that. The line stays visible on mine too, just a bit hazy around the edges. I did notice it gets a little worse if I leave the unit sitting with water in it for a few days without running it. When I empty it out and let it dry completely, the window clears right up. So if it bothers you, that might be worth trying, but for normal daily use I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just the nature of having a window on a water tank. As long as you can still read the level, it’s fine.

Good to know they’re not just iPhone-friendly. Thanks for the input everyone.

It’ll work fine as just a viewer, that’s basically all I use mine for anyway.

Could be normal. My unit does the same thing if the room is already humid. It pulls moisture out of the air but the airflow makes it feel heavier.

I usually crack a window for a few minutes or just run it shorter. Not something I’d worry about unless you see actual condensation on the walls.
