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 dehumidification 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.

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 dehumidification 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.

Compared To Other Humidifiers
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.

Hi, just one question that no Dell or USB paperwork seems to have an answer to. How much bandwidth are you getting from this usb-c with DP alt mode? It says that you can send two 4k monitor signals if you set it to prioritize high resolution, I assume this means using a full 4:4:4 signal. How much bandwidth do you retain when sending two 4k signals? How much bandwidth is there even to work with? You say 4k60@8-bit works and 10-bit doesn’t, so is it the standard Displayport 1.4a 25.92 gbps? That lines up with the two video signals, but there is no usb-c 26 gbps version. They are either 20 or 40 gbps, nothing in between. But if we assume 40 gbps there should be plenty of bandwidth for 10-bit and more to boot. So have they fit a 26 gbps peg in a 20 gbps hole? What does that mean for the USB hub? Usb org documentation just says “usb 2.0 is available in all configurations”, whatever that means. Do any peripherals I plug in have to fight with the rj45 port for bandwidth? The ethernet alone is enough to theoretically saturate the USB 2.0 twice over. Does the rj45 get throttled to 100 mbps despite saying gbit on the box?
If you could help me with this, or point me at the resources that can, I would be most grateful. Really don’t feel like buying a 700€ monitor just to see if the ports all function when plugged in simultaneously.

Stay the hell away from the Dell U3223QE monitor! I’m on my second piece of garbage unit because the first one had HDR that was absolutely trash right out of the box. Now, the replacement they sent after 1 painful month dealing with their crappy support has crapped out too.
Here’s the crap fest I’ve been dealing with:
- First Monitor: Straight from the store, HDR is fucked. The ‘Movie’ and ‘Game’ preset modes turned it into an 8-color joke.
- Replacement Hell: Took over a month just to get someone to understand the problem, thanks to their damn AI chatbots and useless support team in India.
- Second Monitor Fails: After 3 months, the second unit goes totally black. Power LED is on, but the screen is dead.
It’s been 16 days since I requested another warranty service, and they haven’t even picked up the defective unit. Every day it’s the same bullshit: “We have raised an escalation and rapid actions are in progress.” Absolute garbage! The support? Absolute worst. Endless loops of “I understand your concern” and “Apologies for the delay” from their AI bots and some guy named Shubham who’s apparently a supervisor but can’t do shit to fix anything.
This monitor is a piece of trash. Dell’s support is garbage. The internet is full of similar horror stories about this model. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere. This shit isn’t worth the headache. Avoid at all costs!

Is the U3223QE semiglossy or not? because I want semiglossy but on dell’s pages it says Antireflex, 3H Hard Coating
As you can see in the Review, it has a semi-gloss screen coating.

I am looking for a 32" 4K monitor for office use and have fallen in love with this monitor from the reviews, as it’s one of the few without the unnecessary gamer features and gross gamer aesthetics I don’t want. I am however very scared of the poor reviews for reflection handling. Is it really that bad? It seems a real shame that a cheapo monitor like the Dell S3221QS (which I am also considering) has much better reflection handling, per your tests. Is it still the case that this monitor has such poor reflection handling? I’m wondering how big of a deal to make this.
For sure it is disappointing to have that type of reflection handling on a high-end monitor. That said, whether it affects you or not really depends on the type of room you’re going to use it in. If you’re going to use it in a bright room with direct sunlight right on the monitor, then yes it’s a concern. But if you limit the amount of light on it, it isn’t so much of a problem.
