The Miro NR08M is a mid-range ultrasonic humidifier intended for use in medium- to large-sized spaces. It has an advertised coverage of 600 ft2, along with a 2.2 L (0.6 gal) top-fill tank, which you can refill while the unit is operating. It also boasts an easy-to-disassemble design that incorporates a washable misting unit that floats within the water tank instead of being held in place. The manufacturer also offers a few swappable spouts that change its misting pattern.
Our Verdict
The Miro NR08M is decent for general home use. It has a fairly discreet presence, with low energy consumption and minimal operating noise, though its top spout is pretty tall. It also has a simple design that makes everyday maintenance impressively easy despite there being quite a few parts that need regular cleaning. That said, in terms of actual humidification performance, it's nothing to write home about, with very low overall capacity, so it'll struggle to add moisture to even moderately-sized rooms.
Easy to clean.
Long runtime.
Low humidification capacity.
Only decently efficient.
The Miro NR08M is a great option for bedrooms. It's very quiet and won't wake you up while you're trying to get some rest. Its 20-hour runtime is also long enough that you won't have to wake up partway through the night to refill it. Coincidentally, the refill process is very easy, thanks to its top-fill tank. Unfortunately, it'll struggle to humidify all but the smallest of bedrooms efficiently.
Easy to clean.
Remarkably low operating noise.
Long runtime.
Only decently efficient.
The Miro NR08M is easy to clean, with a design that's simple to disassemble. While quite a few components need to be hand-washed, none being dishwasher safe, they're also simple to clean. Most parts have gently contoured edges and no awkward tight spots that are difficult to reach.
Easy to clean.
The Miro NR08M has a low overall humidification capacity. It will take quite a while to adequately moisturize the air in even medium-sized spaces.
Low humidification capacity.
The Miro NR08M's overall efficiency is only decent. Its humidification capacity is pretty low relative to its power draw, though ultimately since this is a cool misting unit, that figure is low enough to be nearly negligible anyway.

Popular Humidifier Comparisons
The Miro NR08M is an ultrasonic humidifier. Its main selling point is its simple, easy-to-clean design. Indeed, there are few awkward crevices to clean here. However, unlike alternatives like the Carepod One, you'll need to clean its components by hand, as none are dishwasher safe. It also falls well short of its peers when it comes to humidification capacity; it's best used in smaller bedrooms or offices and will struggle in larger spaces.
Test Results
The Miro NR08M is impressively easy to clean. It has 11 separate parts that need periodic cleaning, none of which are dishwasher safe; you can wash them in hot, soapy water. While this is a pretty high number of components, all are pretty easy to clean, with gently contoured edges and no awkward tight spots that are difficult to reach. The unit itself is also very easy to disassemble.
The Miro NR08M is a pretty simple unit with no extra features beyond its auto shutoff function, which turns the humidifier off when the water tank is emptied.
This unit's internal efficiency is decent. It's a cool-mist unit, so its power consumption is quite low by nature, but it still doesn't operate as efficiently as some other ultrasonic units on the market, like the Carepod One.
This humidifier provides great overall efficiency. The cooling effect of its mist means it's best used in warmer, drier places. However, like any cool mist humidifier, using it frequently in colder, drier areas can make your heating system work harder and increase your energy bill.
