Who doesn’t like winter? It’s the most magical seasons of the year; but no one looks forward to dry air causing havoc on their skin and breathing. If the air in your home is constantly dry from running heat (or even air conditioners), you might want to invest in a humidifier for your home.
A great humidifier will improve the quality of the air inside your house as they release water vapors to keep your nasal passage and skin from drying out. They’re even great if you have little ones in your home, they keep balance by adding just the right amount of moisture in the air. Here is a list of top humidifiers to buy.
Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
“I bought this humidifier to install on my homemade quail incubator. I have a humidity controller that will turn this humidifier on and off to keep the humidity at the desired set point. It has been working perfectly for the last week and a half.*I keep the humidifier selector switch on the 12 hour setting. My controller will turn the power on and off, so every time it turns the power off it resets the 12 hour back to 0 so it allows me to never open my incubator to keep resetting the humidifier. Also when the humidifier is on the 12 hour setting it will produce more mist than on the 24 hour setting. If you’re looking to use this humidifier for an incubator, I highly recommend this one.” — Ashlie
LEVOIT Humidifiers for Bedroom
“I‘ve received it for 3-4days, and I wrote this review after I used it for 2days. The weather in California is super dry and this LEVOIT humidifier machine helps me a lot!!!And the steam supply works well!!! The only problem is the machine has a little bit of noise when it works but I can accept it!!! Thank you LEVOIT!!! I love it!!!” — Customer
Raydrop Cool Humidifiers
“This item is very amazing. I love it so much. It is very helpful to improve my room and my house. Usually, my skin was too dry in my room, especially during sleep. After I used it, my skin became much better during sleep. HIGH RECOMMENDATION!!!!!” — Yang
Everlasting Comfort Humidifier
“I suffer from allergies and have had many humidifiers. This is by far the best. Within an hour of plugging it in there was a remarkable difference in the quality of the air. I sleep better and my skin feels better. When they claim it’s “whisper silent” they ain’t kidding. It’s incredibly quiet. I am buying one for my parents. Love the sleekness of the design also.” — Jeffrey F.
Crane Adorables Ultrasonic Cool Humidifier
“This works great. My toddler was getting nose bleeds and having this on during the night has completely eliminated that issue. It’s cute and our kid loves it. It was bigger than I had expected (which is good because the water tank is a good size) and is a really nice piece. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.” — Customer
Cool Mist Humidifier
“After using this for several days, I find it definitely worth buying! The size of the water tank makes sure that it can work for the whole night (>12h), and it protects itself by stopping working automatically when water is not enough. I like the sterilization mode very much, which can kill germ without any harm to humans. Btw, it’s very quiet!” — Abby
LACIDOLL Large Humidifiers
“Even on Mist 1 settings (I think there’s 3 or 4) this thing humidifies. It can do large spaces. I’m really happy with it. We live in the desert and the humidity is way too uncomfortable normally and this is the only humidifier I’ve ever noticed a difference with. No noise, and wow this thing holds a lot of water. Easy to fill up. The remote control is also a cool feature.” — Dallas Salerno
MEGAWISE Top-Fill Adjustable Cool Mist Humidifiers
“This product broke after 40 days, but the company made it right! Before it started to leak it worked beautifully, I actually have 2 and was about to order 2 more. I use these for my plants and they just make my space so lovely. Super quiet and large capacity. One suggestion, products fail and this company comes through to replace. In the event yours fails too, keep a plate or container under it so it doesn’t damage your surface.” — Marilyn
Vornado Evap40 4-Gallon Evaporative Humidifier
“I am in a condo that is so dry in the winter! I also live in a place with very hard water. This humidifier works for both issues! I have tried other humidifiers and the hard water maintenance has been really effortful, and a pain in the neck! The others also barely kept the humidity up, even when running constantly. THIS one is phenomenal! It doesn’t need to be filled constantly and the difference in the humidity is remarkable! Within an hour of use, my humidity levels went from less than 30% to almost 40%, where it has remained. Excellent!” — Denise Mumford
MOOKA Cool Mist Humidifier
“We have a humidifier in each bedroom in our home during the winter. We typically use the tear-drop style cool mist humidifiers, which require you to clean out the clear tanks. It’s nearly impossible to get all of the little corners of those tear-drop style tanks, so it never fully feels clean. This humidifier puts out way more steam than our other humidifiers, and is also significantly easier to clean. I like that you can turn the light off and on (we currently use some duct tape to cover the lights on our other humidifiers). Definitely happy with the purchase!” — Brian R.
