Which humidifier is better: how to choose the best device

Read on to find out which humidifier is the best and how to choose the most practical and efficient model. Here, the main criteria are considered, according to which it is recommended to choose a device for air humidification: technical indicators of optimal devices, the most reliable and high-quality manufacturers on the household appliance market, popular models, prices for them and consumer reviews.

Which humidifier is better: the main criteria for choosing devices

Thanks to modern technologies, high-quality and functional equipment enters the market, which is designed to improve the quality of human life. Humidifiers are not only aimed at maintaining a comfortable level of humidity, many of them effectively purify the air, and also prevent the spread of bacteria that are dangerous to humans.

The stores offer dozens of manufacturers and many models, so most buyers are lost at the sight of such a variety.There are a number of criteria that will allow you to decide on the choice of a suitable device and select the best device for specific operating conditions:

• type of humidifier - humidifiers, climatic complexes, humidifiers-purifiers ("Air washing");
• humidification rate;
• filtration system;
• type of humidifier (according to the principle of operation);
• service area;
• power level;
• capacity of the water tank;
• noise level;
• additional functionality;
• manufacturer.

Note! High-quality models have a multi-stage cleaning system, consisting of several filters for various purposes. This applies to complex humidifiers, such as "air washers" or climatic systems, which, in addition to humidification, perform a cleaning function.

How to choose a humidifier for home by technical parameters

The air humidification rate depends on the performance of the device, its power, and the size of the room. With this in mind, you should select a device.

Selection of performance according to the size of the room:

Room area, m2	Productivity (air exchange), m³ / h
15	45
20	60
30	90
50	150
80	240

 

Power modern humidifiers is in the range of 20-300 watts. The larger the size of the room, the higher this indicator should be. When buying, it is worth remembering that devices that are too powerful consume a lot of energy.

The service area is indicated by the manufacturer directly on each model. The humidifier must be selected taking into account the size of the room where it will be used. As practice shows, the power declared by the manufacturer does not always correspond to the real capabilities of the device. This nuance was noticed by many consumers who have already bought a humidifier, there are enough reviews on this topic on the network. For this reason, it is recommended to select a device with a slight excess of the required indicator.

The choice of capacity according to the size of the room:

Room area, m2	Water tank volume, l
15-20	4-5
30-40	6-7
50-60	8-9

 

How to determine the level of noise exposure:

Noise level, dB	Manifestation
10	whisper
20	normalized noise figure for residential premises
40	quiet
50	medium volume
60	noisy
70	very noisy

 

Note! Noise level is one of the most important indicators. If it is exceeded, a person may feel uncomfortable being in the same room with a working device, especially at night.

Which home purifiers and humidifiers are better: choosing a filtration system

HVAC equipment manufacturers use different types of filters.

Coal - effectively and easily neutralize smoke, unpleasant odors and chemicals harmful to humans from the room. The disadvantages include a limited service life, because the filtration system must be replaced at a time strictly specified by the manufacturer. If this is not done, bacteria and harmful microorganisms begin to accumulate inside. They are often used in conjunction with other types of filters.

HEPA - the system performs fine cleaning, which removes almost 100% of dirty impurities and harmful substances. This type of filter system is used in healthcare facilities. There are two types - washable and removable. The maximum service life is 1 year. This type of filter is expensive.

Photocatalytic - cleaning efficiency is 95%. The purification process involves not only the removal of toxic substances from the water, but also their further oxidation and decomposition. Air is purified from gases, harmful bacteria and impurities. These filters have a long service life.

Ultraviolet - remove pathogenic bacteria from the air and fungal spores. This type of filter does not need careful maintenance and treatment.

Ionizing (electrostatic) - aimed at capturing charged particles. They perfectly cope with the function of purifying the air from soot, dust, but they are not able to eliminate toxic substances. Most often, these filters are used in conjunction with others. Their advantages include a low price. Multiple use is allowed.

Rough cleaning - are able to remove only large dust particles and dirt fragments from the air. Filters can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or rinsed with water.

What is the best air humidifier to buy for maximum comfort: additional functions

There are humidifiers on sale with improved functionality. Such structures are capable of performing several functions at once and maintaining the air in an optimal state for humans. The ionization option allows you to improve the quality of cleaning in the house. Due to particles with a negative charge, dust settles. To remove it, it is enough to do wet cleaning or vacuum the floor. You can buy an ionizer and a humidifier for your home at almost any HVAC store.

Note! Devices that act simultaneously as ionizer and a humidifier for the home, prevent the growth of bacteria in the air.

Devices with the ozone option disinfect the indoor air. Some humidifiers have a scent function. Natural essential oil is added to a special container, due to which the humidified air acquires a pleasant aroma.

There are humidifiers with additional functionality:

1. The ability to adjust the intensity of humidification - thanks to this function, the user can change the intensity of humidification, if necessary.
2. Hydrostat - due to this addition, the device can monitor the humidity level in the room and, if necessary, turn off. The device turns off automatically as soon as the humidity reaches the norm. Many steam humidifiers lack this function, which is not very convenient.
3. Possibility of adjusting the direction of flows - the user can manually set the device so that the flow of moist air is directed in a certain direction, for example, towards flowers or away from the outlet.
4. Car adapter - the device is used to maintain a normal humidity level in the car. A cigarette lighter is used as a power source.

What are air humidifiers: types of structures according to the principle of operation

According to the principle of operation, the following types of structures are distinguished:

• steam;
• ultrasonic;
• traditional.

In addition, there are more functional and powerful devices on sale, such as climate systems and "air washers". They have a wide range of possibilities.

Traditional or cold evaporation humidifiers include three components:

• container for liquid;
• fan;
• replaceable filter of porous type.

The filter and water reservoir are connected so that the filtration system is submerged in water. This zone is supplied with air directed by a fan, which intensifies the evaporation process.

The principle of operation of ultrasonic air humidifiers consists in the oscillatory movements of a membrane moistened with water. The frequency of these movements is very high, due to which the liquid is broken up into tiny water particles that moisten the air. The upper part of the case houses all the electronics, such as indicators, a hygrometer, and a water tank. The lower part usually contains all the circuits of the ultrasonic air humidifier and components that provide directional airflow and air intake.

Note! It is not recommended to clean the ultrasonic devices yourself. This could damage important parts of the device. To buy an ultrasonic emitter for humidifiers (membrane), you will need to order the corresponding part and at the same time not be mistaken with its choice. The minimum cost of the emitter is 200 rubles.

Steam-type appliances work in the same way as electric kettles: a heating element is placed in the lower part, due to which water boils and evaporates. Some devices have an indicator showing the amount of liquid inside.

How to choose and buy an inexpensive air humidifier

In each category of devices, you can choose inexpensive air humidifiers at an acceptable cost for most, taking into account the functionality that they have.

Almost all models of Polaris air humidifiers can be attributed to budget options. This technique is of fair quality considering the price asked by the manufacturer.

According to reviews, the Polaris PUH 5806 DI humidifier can be placed on the first line of the rating of the cheapest devices with an acceptable level of quality. The device is equipped with a touch-type control and a built-in hydrostat. Working area - 35 m². At a cost of 2990 rubles. this humidifier option can be called one of the most affordable in the price, although its capacity is not as high as others.

In accordance with the reviews, the Vitek VT-1761 BK air humidifier hit the second spot. The design, in addition to the basic functions, includes an antibacterial filter and a built-in ionizer, the covered area is 40 m². The price of this humidifier is 3000 rubles.

The third place goes to Polaris PUH 2650. The coverage area is much smaller - 24 m², there is a function for adjusting the intensity of humidification. The humidifier is capable of continuous operation for 12 hours. The cost of the device is 3200 rubles.

In the TOP of the best air humidifiers with a low cost, the fourth line is taken by Ballu UHB-255 E Hello Kitty. It has an attractive design and can work for 8 hours. The device is equipped with a timer and a water softening cartridge, designed for an area of ​​20 m². Its price is 4000 rubles.

Air humidifier: benefits and harms, reviews, doctors' opinion on the use of devices

The problem of dry air in the room and various ways to solve it. Disadvantages and advantages of household air humidifiers.

Ultrasonic or steam humidifiers, which are better: device advantages

To determine which humidifier is better, steam or ultrasonic, it is worth considering in detail all the advantages and disadvantages of each type of device.

Advantages of steam-type appliances:

1. The device can work without the use of consumables (filters, softening cartridges, etc.).
2. At the outlet, the steam has ideal purity, regardless of the composition and quality of the liquid poured into the container.
3. Depending on what type of mixture the device is filled with, the humidifier can function as an aroma lamp or inhaler.
4. This type of device has the highest capacity reserve - about 700 g / h.
5. Air humidity over 60% is provided.

For additional safety, many manufacturers provide an automatic shutdown mechanism in steam devices if the tank lid is not closed tightly enough or the water in the tank runs out. Steam humidifiers are not easy to tip over.

The advantages of ultrasonic structures:

1. The steam released by the humidifier is not hot, but cold, so it is completely safe for humans.
2. Low consumption of electrical energy.
3. The structures are equipped with a built-in hydrostat, for this reason, the device can independently control the humidity level within the normal range, automatically turning on and off when necessary.
4. Many versions have a light indication that shows the degree of air humidification.
5. Compact size and very low noise level.
6. The design of the atomizer rotates to accelerate the distribution of water vapor through the air and ensure its even distribution.
7. In the "warm steam" operating mode, the water is disinfected, as well as the destruction of microorganisms and bacteria.
8. Automatic shutdown option in case of complete consumption of water.

How to choose a humidifier, steam or ultrasonic: device disadvantages

Disadvantages of steam devices:

1. Failure to operate safely can result in burns. This problem is especially relevant for families with small children.
2. High energy consumption.
3. The designs do not have a hydrostat to control the liquid level in the tank.

Note! A working device must be constantly monitored. If water is not added in time, the appliance may burn out.

Disadvantages of ultrasonic devices:

1. The purity of the steam directly depends on the quality of the liquid poured into the tank, or rather its indicators: the nature of impurities, their amount, the level of hardness. Therefore, for the effective operation of the ultrasonic humidifier, water filtration cartridges are required, which are replaced every 2-3 months. If you use the device without a filter or with an expired element, then an ugly white coating will settle on furniture and other surfaces.
2. Relatively low efficiency.

Note! It is difficult to answer unequivocally which humidifiers are better for home. It all depends on the needs of people and premises.

Conclusion which humidifiers are the best: steam or ultrasonic

Steam humidifiers are suitable for large rooms that are frequently ventilated. This is because steam devices are highly efficient. For the same reason, they are ideal for humidifying the air in conservatories and greenhouses, where tropical greens grow, which need a lot of moisture. You should also not brush aside such useful functions as the aroma lamp and inhalation present in steam humidifiers.

Ultrasound models, on the other hand, will be an excellent option for a small apartment, especially if small children live in it. After all, these devices are absolutely safe and generate a minimum noise level during operation.

To come to a final conclusion, it is worthwhile to designate how much air humidifiers for a house of each of these types cost.

Steam and ultrasonic humidifiers: prices, reviews

The cost of an ultrasonic humidifier Polaris PUH 3204 - 2450 rubles. The capacity of this device is 4 liters, and the working area is 20 m². The device can work for 15 hours. For safety reasons, the unit automatically shuts down if the liquid in the tank runs out.

Customer reviews of the Polaris PUH 3204 humidifier are mostly positive:

“Great moisturizer at a reasonable price. My skin has stopped peeling, problems with shortness of breath have disappeared, and even flowers look healthier. I recommend to all my friends to buy a Polaris humidifier. "

Christina Malakhova, Moscow

Note! This model has a ceramic filter to improve the quality of the water that enters the tank.

In the reviews, the Polaris PUH 6030 ultrasonic humidifier looks no less attractive:

“Polaris technology suits me in everything. The previous version of the Polaris PUH 4740 humidifier worked for me for almost 4 years and fully justified itself. I'm probably lucky. This time I decided to opt for the Polaris PUH 6030 air humidifier. It is compact, inexpensive (only 1000 rubles), has a wonderful design and does its job well. The only drawback is that it sways for too long. "

Evgeny Samusev, Yekaterinburg

More often than others, Bork air humidifiers appear in positive reviews, which combine the capabilities of steam devices and purifiers ("air washers"):

“I have been using a Bork H 700 humidifier for a month now. It cost me 15,990 rubles. I liked the beautiful design with a mirrored front panel, it looks stylish. The device is almost inaudible. The direction of the steam can be adjusted, as can the intensity of humidification. Very easy to operate and moisturizes well. "

Daria Dark, Moscow

Which is better: "air washers" or humidifiers of the standard type

Despite the fact that the main purpose of air humidifiers of the standard type (ultrasonic or steam) and "air washers" is to perform the same task, the result of the functioning of these units is different.

It is very easy to breathe in a room with a working humidifier and a home air purifier. This eliminates the likelihood of air stagnation or excessive dampness, which is often encountered by owners of conventional devices, especially steam ones. This is due to the high quality of processing.

To identify a good air humidifier, customer reviews may not be enough, since in each case, a different type of device is suitable for a particular room. However, "air washers" can be called universal, due to their special operating principle:

1. In addition to humidification in the room, air is purified.
2. The device is able to drive through the filter system the entire volume of air in the room twice in an hour, while creating the circulation of its flows.
3. Air humidification is carried out in a natural way, so there is no need to use special sensors, control sensors and automation.

Note! In the "air wash" there is no such serious disadvantage as the uneven distribution of moisture inherent in classic devices. Water vapor is distributed evenly throughout the room due to the built-in fan.

The best humidifiers for home in every category

To finally decide which humidifier is better to choose, you need to go through the most popular models and manufacturers. The following companies became the best trade marks:

• Electrolux;
• BONECO AIR-O-SWISS;
• Polaris;
• Philips;
• Sharp;

Below you can find consumer reviews on which ultrasonic humidifiers are better to buy:

“I cannot say that I did not notice any shortcomings in relation to the Polaris PUH 2204 humidifier, the reviews I read about this device earlier were neutral or positive. Therefore, I went to the store for this particular model. I liked a lot about the device: low price, sufficient level of moisture, no leaks and unpleasant odors. I did not like the lack of an automatic shutdown function, you need to control the amount of water in the humidifier. And the process of pouring liquid is not entirely convenient. But for this price, you can hardly find a better option. "

Alan Smyatkin, Yekaterinburg

“For a long time I could not decide which model to buy. I consulted with friends, looked through information on the Internet. The Polaris PUH 4740 humidifier looked more than attractive in reviews. It was he who became the first device in my house. Price in 1500 rubles. I was quite satisfied, as well as the quality of hydration. Although my room is small, it may not be suitable for large rooms. There are no disadvantages. "

Ulyana Nizhegorodskaya, Omsk

“As the proud owner of the Polaris PUH 4405 D humidifier, I support the reviews left here about this manufacturer. Of course, the technique is not without sin: it works noisy, in the night mode, only the light indication can be turned off. However, in its price segment, this humidifier can be called one of the best. The device has excellent characteristics, a user-friendly touchscreen display. Even the cistern has a handle that allows you to carefully remove it. I am pleased with my purchase. "

How to choose a humidifier: reviews, prices of traditional appliances

Traditional appliances humidify the air naturally. Customer reviews reflect that this nuance has both advantages and disadvantages:

“A few months ago I got a promotional Philips HU 4801/01 humidifier. I chose it for one simple reason: the absence of limescale on the furniture. The fact is that many of my friends complained that after using ultrasonic humidifiers, white marks remain on all surfaces in the room. And this is not surprising, because such devices do not evaporate water, but break it into microparticles - water dust. Thus, all the salt in its composition spreads along with drops throughout the room. So I decided to switch to traditional devices. In this model, I was also pleased with the price - 5000 rubles. The humidification efficiency of Philips HU4801 / 01 is not high, but the result suits me perfectly. The only significant drawback I can name is the high cost of replaceable filters. "

Vlada Kuksina, Moscow

“I would like to share my experience of using a humidifier. My husband and I bought Ballu EHB-010 for 3290 rubles. The device is Chinese, has several modes of operation. In fact, he showed himself from an excellent side.Moisturizes slowly, but does not consume much energy. There is a built-in aroma oil capsule. I enjoy using this feature, adding lemon oil to disinfect the air and lavender oil to improve sleep. Purifies the air, but only from large dust particles. If the room is not large, this device will be the best helper. "

Arina Stechkina, St. Petersburg

Rating of the best traditional humidifiers

Often, traditional devices are called cold-type humidifiers, since the process of water evaporation is carried out without preliminary heating it.

Note! Most models of the traditional type are equipped with a paper filter impregnated with antibacterial substances. The service life of such an element is 3 months. After that, you need to replace it.

Steam humidifiers: which are better, customer reviews

Steam humidifiers, despite their simplicity, are in great demand among consumers. Feedback from some buyers:

“I would like to tell you about my BONECO AIR-O-SWISS S450 humidifier. Like many caring mothers, I bought this device after the birth of my baby. During the selection process, I was interested in several points. First, how easy it will be to operate. Secondly, the effectiveness of humidification, as well as the absence of white marks on the furniture. Thanks to its sterile steam and the absence of such complications as using exclusively distilled water, this model appealed to me more than others. For several months of operation, I did not notice any shortcomings. Therefore, I recommend that everyone pay attention to this useful and convenient thing. "

Svetlana Mikhnevich, St. Petersburg

“Compared to other humidifiers I've seen, the DELONGHI UH 700M has a minimal number of disadvantages. I got it at a promotional price, which was a nice bonus to my purchase. The device turns a room into a jungle in a short time, has a beautiful design and a practical structure. Unfortunately, scale builds up on the heating element. But the wife solves this issue simply - soak it once a week in a vinegar solution. "

Oleg Lisitsa, Omsk

Note! Steam humidifiers have a high level of electrical energy consumption compared to other types of appliances. This is due to the high efficiency factor. The device is capable of evaporating 700 ml of liquid into the air in an hour.

The best humidifiers-air purifiers: customer reviews

On sale there are air humidifiers with an additional purification function - "air washers" and climatic complexes. They are distinguished from conventional devices by the presence of a high-quality multistage filtration system.Thanks to it, not only large particles of debris and dust are removed from the air, but also small, as well as harmful substances.

Most buyers respond positively to these devices:

“The Boneco AOS 2071 air washer is a really high-quality device that effectively humidifies the air. At the same time, there are no such problems as salt deposits on the surface of furniture. Air purification is at the proper level. After using it, the room breathes easily. The minus of the unit is the price, but, in my opinion, it is worth the money. "

Igor Svekrukhin, Yekaterinburg

“In favor of the Electrolux EHAW-6515 humidifier, I can say the following: the device humidifies the air well, it is easy to breathe in the morning, my child's problems with stuffy nose have disappeared. I can't say anything unambiguously about air purification. Hair collects at the bottom of the tray, and the water becomes dirty, so it can be assumed that the humidified air is cleared of large debris. The capacity of the water tank is large, which can also be called a plus. Personally, I miss the flavoring feature. The device was given as a gift, so if I had picked it up myself, I would have bought a humidifier with a capsule for pouring aromatic oils. So far I am content with an aroma lamp. "

Ekaterina Khmelnitskaya, St. Petersburg

Helpful advice! The pre-ionization function, which is present in some "air washers", allows you to get rid of unpleasant odors, including tobacco smoke. The degree of air purification from substances sometimes reaches 99.97%.

Which humidifiers are better for home: a review of manufacturers

SHARP devices include two functions at once - air purification and humidification. Moreover, the last of them is not the main, but an additional option. Despite this, the device performs both of these tasks at a high level. The manufacturer uses HEPA filters and deodorizing elements as well as ionization as a purification system. Most customer reviews say SHARP moisturizers are worth the price.

The Dutch brand PHILIPS has production facilities in China, the Philippines, and Malaysia. The main focus of the company is focused on the manufacture of structures of the traditional type, as well as "air sinks".

Note! A characteristic feature of the devices is a large selection of modes, attractive design and low noise level.

POLARIS has been on the market since 1992. During this time, the brand managed to build a developed system of service centers and located its production facilities in several countries of the world - Russia, Israel, Italy and China.

The brand's activities are focused on the production of steam and ultrasonic air humidifiers. The company's products have a beautiful design, simple control system and relatively low cost.

SHIVAKI company is one of the largest manufacturers of electronics and household appliances. Founded in 1988, this brand has factories in the following countries of the world: Russia, Japan, South Korea, France, Hong Kong, Germany.

The company manufactures an extensive line of ultrasonic devices in various capacities. Most models have a function of both cold and warm steam. Some of them even disinfect the air.

Features of the operation of air humidifiers: truth and myths

Dry air negatively affects human health, gradually accelerating the process of destruction. With prolonged exposure to dry air, a person is faced with such negative manifestations as:

• irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes - especially the problem affects people who wear contact lenses;
• dryness of the skin - as a result, the sensitivity of the facial skin increases, cracks may appear on the hands. Also, internal processes occurring in the skin are affected, for example, metabolism and lipid balance;
• dryness of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract - diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, tracheobronchitis, allergies can be aggravated. Quite often there are exiled coughing fits at night or in the morning.

Note! Dry air has a destructive effect on furnishings in the house: expensive wallpapers, old books and paintings, parquet flooring, natural wood furniture, etc.

Common myths and truths about humidifiers

Below are the most common misconceptions about air humidifiers.

It is not necessary to use a humidifier in rainy weather. The warmer the air in the room, the lower the humidity level. Even if it is raining outside the windows, in order to achieve comfortable conditions, you should still use the device, since the centralized heating system has a direct effect on the humidity in the room, reducing it.

There are enough sources in the house that can humidify the air. This refers to such devices as a boiling kettle, an aquarium or a fountain, a cloud of steam from the bathroom after bathing. All these funds can raise the air humidity indicator, but only slightly. You can't do without a humidifier in your home.

In winter, there is no need for moisture. In the cold season, the air in apartments is especially in need of moisture, since the batteries significantly reduce its amount.

A humidifier can be harmful to health. This myth affects ultrasonic devices, however, the vibrational movements of the membrane emit waves that are absolutely harmless to humans, so they can be safely used in the presence of children and animals.

It is worth noting that no matter what the humidifier is, its presence cannot replace the ventilation of the room. This procedure should be performed regularly to keep the air in the room fresh and the climate comfortable for humans.
