A humidifier, comprising:
- a base portion including an ultrasonic mist generator;
- a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid to be used by the ultrasonic mist generator, the fluid reservoir including a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface comprises an opening and the bottom surface comprises a tank cap and a pass-through connection, the fluid reservoir being removably connected to the base portion such that fluid in the fluid reservoir is delivered to the base portion through the tank cap, wherein the fluid is converted to a mist by the ultrasonic mist generator and then delivered through the pass-through connection toward the opening on the top surface of the fluid reservoir;
- and
- an elongated tube comprising a first end and a second end;
- wherein the humidifier is configured to operate in a first or a second operation mode, wherein in the first operation mode, the elongated tube is not attached to the humidifier;
- and in the second operation mode, the first end of the elongated tube is directly attached to the opening on the top surface of the reservoir such that the elongated tube extends above a top end of the fluid reservoir.
