Product Information

Both warm and cool mist humidifiers will do the job of adding water to the air, which can be great for dry skin, chapped lips and stuffy chests, especially in babies.

If you travel frequently, then you will be only familiar with the problems of transporting a CPAP machine – and even more so when you require a humidifier. It’s vital that you clean your humidifier regularly. Not only is this so that the unit works properly, but also to reduce the risk of spreading harmful bacteria or mould into the air. The difference between an evaporative and ultrasonic model is that these release vapour, whereas the ultrasonic releases tiny water droplets. Evaporative humidifiers tend to have less of an issue with depositing fine minerals that might be present in the water, because they’re filtered out during the evaporation process.Size – the size of the unit doesn’t always correspond to the size of space the humidifier can work in or how many hours use you will get out of it. Generally though, the larger the tank the longer the humidifier will work. Tank sizes vary from 200ml for personal use humidifiers to six litres or more for whole house humidifiers. Tabletop humidifiers are designed to humidify a single room. They’re lightweight and easy to carry around, and usually have a removable water container. Most humidifiers are small enough to sit on a bedside table, so you can have it on while you’re sleeping. However, the overall size will be dictated by the type of humidifier. Use a cloth to wipe down the tank, so that you don't get mould or mildew from water that's been left stagnant. Aromatherapy options – Many models on the market double as a vaporiser too. You can add aromatherapy oils or specially designed pads (specific to your model). Eucalyptus for example works well to relieve cold symptoms while lavender can be relaxing. Follow instructions carefully though as many models won’t work if you add the oils directly to the water tank.

The type “X” humiSteam humidifiers have a built-in controller with graphic display and keypad for programming and controlling operation. The Babymoov gets full marks for clear instructions and easy setup. The touchscreen controls make it a doddle to monitor the ambient humidity and temperature, then adjust the settings as required. The type “x” controllers exploit all the advantages of pCO technology, the family of CAREL programmable controllers: If available, make use of timer or automatic shut-off features so the humidifier isn’t running continuously while you’re out of the house or asleep.That said, a couple of rare refrigerants work OK in colder temperatures, too. These ones won't necessarily work terrifically in warmer temperatures of over, say, 26 degrees. But you might not be too fussed about that, British weather being what it is. How the defrost function has been set up also comes into play here. If a dehumidifier can spend less time defrosting, it can spend more time collecting water.

You can use a dehumidifier when you notice signs of damp, such as condensation on your windows. But taking these simple steps could help nip a damp problem in the bud before it gets to the dehumidifier stage.There are two ways the water can be distributed. Evaporative humidifiers draw air through a moist filter, whereas ultrasonic humidifiers use high-frequency vibration to create water droplets that are distributed via a fan into the air. Users say hard water can affect the ultrasonic process so bear that in mind or use distilled water if you live in a hard water area. What should I look for when buying a humidifier? Console humidifiers are larger, freestanding units, designed to deliver moisture for a whole office, flat or an area of a house. A good console humidifier can balance the air quality in a whole house, provided the house isn’t too big! Keep doors and windows closed when the dehumidifier is running. If windows are open, your dehumidifier will be working harder to try to dehumidify a greater area. Look for a humidifier that has auto shut-off. This is where the device will stop operating once the water has run out, and means you won’t be wasting energy unnecessarily. Tank design
