Carepod mini for $ 150: When turning on, mini Carepod looks like British Filter It is also an electric kettle. And you will also think about it from the unique Carepod generator, which moves water inside a transparent plastic tank. And unlike larger parts of stainless steel, larger Carepod models, Mini Carepod is not safe for a dishwasher. However, like all Carepod models, mini has no filter because Carepod recommends using filtered water, setting the duties of reading water to the user. I would prefer a model with a filter option. Nevertheless, mini is easy to clean with soft soap and water, unlike some moisturizers that require special solutions. I like what Carepod is trying to make a humidifier in the space, but I almost turned it all over when I instinctively raised it with a pen, which raises only the upper part. Nevertheless, I found that the effect of seeping water calms down, and this provides a constant stream of fog. I picked up my Carepod Mini from his slightly lateral stream of fog. I placed it on a ceramic stand because Carepod warns against placing mini -minimum on wood or furniture from possible damage to water. And although I still do not understand the advantages of the Carepod generator, it looks cool.

Pure enrichment Hume XL Moisturizer for $ 80: There are certain problems with the design that can make a humidifier less convenient for the user, and Hume XL of pure enrichment has all of them. To begin with, Hume XL has a tank in an old style that needs to be removed and turned to be filled with below, with a lid that needs to be unscrewed. And while Hum has an amazingly large area of 5-gallons, the filling process is bulky, and I always spilled water during this. And although Hume XL has an automatic shutdown when the tank is empty, opaque black plastic tank is almost impossible to see what makes it difficult to measure if I need to fill the tank. There is also no indicator light to let me know that the tank works low. And although Hume XL has a solid five -year guarantee, night light and two settings for low or high fog, it is not compatible with applications, and does not have built -in possession. Other cheaper models have these functions. Finally, the decalcification cartridge filter is sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
I have written about the quality of air for Wired since 2019. All humidifiers in this review were tested in my apartment with the 100th year with Heat. I was looking for convenient moisturizers who could fill a medium -sized room with ideal humidity. I did not want to drag the jugs of distilled water up the stairs; I also wanted him to be easy to support. I was looking for more loyal and stable relations with my humidifier. Maybe you want it too.
At what percentage of humidity should I use a humidifier?
According to EPEIdeal humidity in the house should be from 30 to 50 percent. The presence of moisture in the room of more than 60 percent causes the risk of mold. Recent study He noted that the relative humidity serves as a viable predictor of mold growth, and although the temperature plays a significant role, maintaining the level of humidity in a safe range gives advantages, not contributing to the undesirable problem of mold. Another study He noted that a decrease in humidity contributed to an increase in static electricity, dry skin and irritation of the eyes along with the increased survival of the influenza virus. For all these reasons, a humidifier may be what your warmth/winter season requires.
How often should I clean the humidifier?
Wired had instructions, starting from “after each use” for tanks safe for a dishwasher, up to “once a week” to “once a month” in various user manuals. Recent study He found that while participants in the study often did not know how to clean their moisturizers, many used the decision of vinegar and water. If you save something out of the box, your humidifier has entered, save the leadership. I used a solution of water and citric acid to clean my Dyson humidifier. It is worth noting that South Korean study It was found that some moisturizing chemical disinfectants for household humidifiers caused pulmonary injury. Follow your user manual and do not add chemical disinfectants is one of the reasons why the reservoirs for water devices are suspension.
