To begin with, scientists have determined the optimal humidity required for the normal functioning of the human body. It is 40-60%. About the same humidity is needed for rare books in libraries and works of art in museums. In the age of central heating, it is not so easy to maintain optimal humidity, and dry air dries mucous membranes and skin, which not only causes discomfort, but can also lead to various diseases. And if in museums and library repositories special devices monitor the environmental humidity indicators, then at home we should control the air humidity ourselves. So let’s figure out how to choose a humidifier?
To begin with, all models are not bulky, and their design will perfectly fit into any interior. But this is not the main thing, but the functions that the developers endow the humidifier models with. In a steam humidifier, the water is heated by electrodes and turns into steam, due to which, if necessary, the air humidity can be above 60%. Ultrasonic humidifiers, using high-frequency vibrations, “convert” water into steam, consisting not even of drops, but of microscopic particles. In classic humidifiers, the principle of “cold” evaporation works. The fan draws in dry air from the room, passing it through the evaporator. Which humidifier is better to choose – reviews will help. There are many of them on the websites of sellers of such equipment, or in special communities, where meticulous consumers will sort through all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular model. And there is something to discuss – the noiselessness of the operation, the brightness of the indicator, the temperature of the water vapor, the humidity regulator, and even the presence of a signal and its volume in the event that the water in the tank has run out. After reading the detailed reviews of real consumers, you can safely and quite confidently say which humidifier you want to choose.
When choosing a humidifier for your home, pay attention to the fact that some models of humidifiers have antibacterial cassettes that are capable of fighting harmful microorganisms. If you are choosing a humidifier for a child’s room, keep in mind that humidifiers that work according to the “traditional” principle have an aromatherapy function. This can be useful if the baby is sick and does not want to inhale. A humidifier is useful regardless of the season. In summer, it will help keep the room cool, and if the room is air-conditioned, it will humidify the air. But especially the price of this device in the winter, when the air becomes unnecessarily dry due to heating.
