10 best humidifiers for your home and office
The ideal indoor humidity level lies between 40% and 70%. Many homes and offices, especially where there is air-conditioning, cannot maintain this range naturally. That is where the best humidifiers come in.
Good air humidifiers can help fight dry skin, congestion and even asthma. In the bedroom, they can help to improve the quality and consistency of sleep. Here is a list of features you should consider to find the best humidifiers.
How to choose the best humidifiers
There are 8 main things to consider in choosing the best humidifier for your home or office.
Type: There are several types of humidifiers such as ultrasonic (cool mist) and evaporative (warm mist) humidifiers. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you should choose the one that suits your needs the best.
Room size: The size of the room you plan to use the humidifier in is an important consideration. You’ll want to choose a humidifier that is appropriate for the size of the room, so that it can effectively and efficiently add moisture to the air.
Humidification output: The humidification output of a humidifier is measured in millilitres per hours (ml/h). Consider the amount of moisture you need to add to your space and choose a humidifier with an appropriate output.
Water tank capacity: The size of the water tank determines how often you’ll need to refill the humidifier. A larger water tank means less frequent refills, but also means a larger, bulkier humidifier.
Noise level: Some humidifiers can be noisy, so if you plan to use the humidifier in a bedroom or other quiet space, you may want to choose a model that operates quietly.
Maintenance: Some humidifiers require more maintenance than others, so it’s important to consider how much time and effort you’re willing to put into upkeep. For example, evaporative humidifiers need regular cleaning to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria.
Features: Consider the features you would like in your humidifier, such as a humidistat that regulates humidity levels, a timer, a nightlight, and an automatic shut-off feature.
Budget: Humidifiers come in a range of prices, so determine which features are most important and how much you’re willing to spend on them before making your final decision.
By considering all of these factors, you should be able to choose a humidifier that meets your needs for the right price.
