What Are The Functions Of Residential Air Humidifiers

There are many factors that influence indoor humidity. During the heating season, working radiators pretty much dry the air, and in the summer it "does" air conditioning... Under such conditions, maintaining a normal microclimate in residential premises all year round is possible only with additional equipment, which is a humidifier.

What is the threat of too dry air? Scientists have proven that this is fraught with:

overdrying of the mucous membrane, which causes a surge in infectious diseases;
the development of allergic reactions;
frequent headaches;
decreased attention and general performance of the body;
dysbiosis.

Important! The installation of such devices is especially relevant when there is a small child in the house. Today we will try to understand how to choose the right technique and what to look for when buying.

Ultrasonic device - its working principle is quite interesting

Air humidifier - which one is better? Equipment selection criteria

A good humidifier model should also purify the air in the room. In this case, it is necessary that it contains hydrostat - a device that detects humidity in the room and turns off as needed. The noisy operation of the device is also not the best indicator, especially if it is installed in a room where a small child lives. In general, there are many criteria and everyone chooses the functions that he needs. It should be understood that the higher the price, the more opportunities such equipment has.

Secondary criteria include the size and appearance of the device, although some put them in the first place. But the humidifier mainly has to do its job, and then fit into the interior. Although with such a huge assortment, which is present in our time on the shelves of household appliances stores, it will not be difficult to combine "business with pleasure".

Let's try to understand what are the main parameters that you should pay attention to when buying air humidifiers for home.

The child will obviously like it

Which humidifier to buy: characteristics to look out for

Having figured out how to clean the air with a humidifier, you can move on to other parameters. One of the mandatory should be called automatic shutdown in the absence of water in the device. This will protect the household, and the device will last longer.

Helpful information! If there is a child in the house, it makes sense to pay attention to the inhalation function. It will avoid infectious respiratory diseases. The remote control also proved to be good, which allows you to turn on, turn off or adjust the device parameters without entering the room, so as not to wake up the baby.

The remote control can help keep the baby from waking

What is good about a humidifier - owner review

In order not to be unfounded, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with one of the reviews of a person who already uses similar equipment in his apartment:

Ksufiz, Russia, Novokuznetsk: ... The area of the room that the humidifier serves according to its characteristics is 30 square meters. This is quite enough for standard apartments in our city. During his work, breathing in the room is much easier. A very interesting point is the ability to add flavor to the humidifier. Another advantage of the Dantex D-H30 AW humidifier is the presence of a timer. You can set the time you want before starting work (1/2/4/8 hours). I think this thing is simply irreplaceable in the winter in the apartment.More details on otzovik:https://otzovik.com/review_5452303.html

Air humidifier - rating of the best 2018-2019

All humidifiers can be divided into the following groups:

Ultrasonic humidifiers;
Steam devices;
Traditional models;
Air washers;
Climatic complexes.

Each of them has its own characteristics, which cannot be ignored. It is in this order that we will compile our today's rating of the best humidifiers for the home of 2017-2018, considering some of the technical characteristics of various models and brands. Along the way, some comments will be given, and reviews of this or that group will be given.

Ultrasonic humidifiers: manufacturers and models

The essence of the operation of such a device, as you might guess from the name, is in ultrasound. For a person, it is not audible, but at the same time it can perform such functions as, for example, the destruction of dirt. In approximately the same way, it acts on water, breaking it into tiny particles, which very quickly spread throughout the entire volume of air in the room. Here are a few of the main manufacturers representing similar models on the Russian market, compiling a rating of the best ultrasonic air humidifiers in 2018-2019.

Such equipment will fit into any interior

5th place: humidifier Polaris PUH 5206di

Thanks to the touch panel, it is possible to set the required humidity parameters in the range from 45 to 85%. The remote control is quite convenient and understandable. There is ionization, as well as a compartment for an aroma capsule. The presence of a filter that softens water is also encouraging. Thanks to it, scale does not form, which means that the device will last longer. The average cost of a device on the Russian market is 6500-7000 rubles.

In this segment, you can name many more worthy models - these are Electrolux EHU 5515D, and Supra HDS 205, and the same Polaris PUH 2650. But it makes no sense to load the respected reader with unnecessary information. After all, if someone is thinking about purchasing such equipment, he himself will be interested to learn about a particular model from the seller, who will tell about the characteristics in more detail.

Such devices can be quite tiny

4th place: another model of a well-known brand - Polaris PUH 4405D

More functional model with electronic control and remote control. There is a hygrostat, a timer on and off, and the ability to direct humidification. A little upsetting is the lack of inhalation at a cost of 3200 rubles. For this reason, the device occupies the penultimate line of our rating.

3rd place: Leran USH-500

The simplest device, in which there is no backlight, no possibility of aromatization, no hygrostat. Its power is 30 W, and a fully filled 3.5 liter tank is enough for 12 hours of operation. Mechanical control is quite reliable due to the absence of various electronic components. The cost on Russian counters is 1500 rubles. In the absence of children in the apartment, very convenient equipment capable of humidifying the air in an area of up to 20 m².

Such devices can be decorated in various ways.

2nd place: humidifier Boneco 7135 (U)

The manufacturer assures that this ultrasonic humidifier is able to create the necessary microclimate not only for humans, but also for antique furniture. At the same time, the plants will grow more intensively. It is possible that this is just a marketing ploy. After all, any such device is capable of creating the humidity necessary for a particular purpose. But in fact it is a proven fact. The approximate cost of such an ultrasonic humidifier is 8700-9000 rubles.

1st place: Ballu UHB-300 ultrasonic humidifier

This device, according to the manufacturer, will provide gentle humidification and create a favorable indoor climate. Well suited for a nursery - built-in lighting can be used as a night light. It is possible to use an aroma capsule, which is also important. After all, when purchasing capsules with fir oil, you can not only saturate the apartment with a spruce scent, but also protect your family from viral respiratory diseases. You can buy such a humidifier in the online store at a price of 1900 rubles. Without a doubt, the first place in our ranking.

Ballu UHB-300

Steam humidifiers: some models and their characteristics

Steam humidifiers work on the principle of forced evaporation of water by heating it.A fairly common group of goods that many buyers trust. Below is our ranking of the best steam humidifiers 2017-2018.

3rd place: Beurer LB 50 humidifier

High quality and affordable model. It can serve up to 50 m², has aromatization function and reliable mechanical control.

Humidifier Beurer LB50

2nd place: Boneco S450 hot steam humidifier

The characteristics are pretty good, there is everything you need for normal hydration. A touchscreen display with a remote control completes the picture. Perhaps the device would have ended up at the top of our rating, but the price let down. The average cost on the shelves of household appliances stores is 14,000-17,000 rubles.

Boneco S450

1st place: Philips HU 4802 - good performance at an average price

This device, in addition to humidification, cleans the air from dust and animal hair. The only inconvenience is that the filter needs to be replaced every 3 months. Water consumption - 150 g / h, which allows him to work on one tank for up to 8 hours. At a cost of 6500 rubles. this humidifier with an air purifier for home in the ranking takes the honorable first place.

Air humidifier "Timberk" - reviews of the owners

This brand was not included in our review, but judging by the reviews, it is quite decent equipment:

Nicknamelida, Russia, Izhevsk: We have been using this humidifier for 1.5 years. It is ideal for a one-room apartment. The air is humid throughout the apartment, does not make noise, the indicator shines brightly at night (for me this is a plus, since it is dark at home). There are modes, we have a minimum, but it is almost always on. The cord is short, but the length was enough for us. The volume of water suits, I do not top up often. You need to buy good or filtered water so that lime does not accumulate. But, unfortunately, for 1.5 years it still exists, but this did not make it work worse. The color scheme is not very successful (we sell gray and purple). Bought at a discount of 1800.More details on otzovik:http://otzovik.com/review_4890834.html

Traditional air humidification - what are its features

Natural moisture is called traditional. Natural evaporation of water with this method is "accelerated" by a fan. In fact, this is the simplest version of such devices. Let's try to make a rating of the best air humidifiers for an apartment 2017-2018 in this group.

4th place: humidifier Stadler Form Oskar Big Original O-040OR / O-041OR

Of course, the unit is not bad, there is an electronic touch control, a shutdown timer and an evaporation rate adjustment. But for all its good characteristics, the problem is in cost. It is about 22,000 rubles, which is clearly overstated for such indicators. It is for this reason that this model is in fourth place in our today's rating.

3rd place: rather large, but reliable Winia AWX-70

This device is capable of humidifying the air in a room with an area of 50 m²... True, and its consumption is decent, 700 ml / h, but a 9 liter tank allows it. The presence of a water filter is encouraging, but in our rating this device loses out due to its dimensions and weight, which is more than 10 kg.

Winia AWX-70 - the third, but not the last place

2nd place: Boneco E2441A - another version of traditional humidification

This humidifier covers an area of up to 40 m²... Its reservoir is small, only 3.8 liters. But at a flow rate of 200 ml / h, this is quite enough. Conventional mechanical control ensures the reliability of the unit. The cost, however, is a bit high - 9500-10200 rubles. It is for this reason that the humidifier is not in the first place.

1st place: traditional humidification with the Ballu EHB-010 device

No doubt the first place in the ranking of the best indoor air humidifiers 2017-2018. With a power of 18 W, the device is quite capable of humidifying air in a room with an area of up to 30 m²... The cost of such a device is about 2500 rubles.

This is the first place - Ballu EHB-010

Air washers - rating of the best 2018-2019

This is a separate category that exceeds the cost of other groups. The principle of its operation can be compared with ordinary rain, which "nails" dust to the ground.At the same time, the air is saturated with moisture. Basically, such devices operate on ultrasound.

Let's try to collect a rating of the best humidifiers (and purifiers) of air 2018-2019 in this category:

4th place: Timberk Pacific TAW H4 D (W)

In general, the device is not bad, but there are some drawbacks. For example, with a power of 110 W it can humidify the air in a room with an area of only 25 m²... Electronic control without equipping with a remote control at a price of 7000 rubles. a bit expensive, which makes this model the fourth in today's rating.

3rd place: Boneco 2055D Black

Humidifier coverage area - slightly less than 50 m² (to be precise - 47). Electronic control with a touch panel. The noise level is low - about 25 dB, which is practically invisible during the day. However, at night it can be sensitive. The cost, on average, is 23,000 rubles.

Boneco U201A is a pretty good humidifier

2nd place: Venta LW15 in white

Quite small water tank - only 2.5 liters. Also, the disadvantages include a small area of humidification - 25 m²... But at the same time, the presence of a compartment for an aroma capsule and a low cost - 13,000 rubles. - automatically raise this device to second place.

1st place: Ballu AW-320 / AW-325

Quite a successful model that is able to humidify the air in an area of 40 m²... Although all characteristics are practically similar to other today's "competitors", the price-quality-comfort ratio is won by the presence of remote control. Average cost - 10,000 rubles.

A very worthy model of our rating

Climatic complexes - what is it

Such devices, in addition to humidifying the air, have other functions, such as ionization, disinfection or oxygenation. Of course, this group is in a higher price category, but for some, only such devices are acceptable. Their characteristics are similar, which means that the rating will be based not on functionality, but on the average cost in the Russian market.

4th place: climatic complex Bork Q710

The humidification area is relatively small - 40 m²... And this with a power consumption of 344 watts! There is no need to talk about the reasons that the model has become an outsider in the rating (and this is not the first time the brand is losing). Plus, the cost of the complex is clearly overstated - 25,000 rubles. Obviously a decent surcharge for the brand.

Outsider due to high cost - Bork Q710

3rd place: Electrolux EHAW - 7515D - Swedish version

The same ionizing rod, the same humidification area, but the power consumption is even lower - 16 W. It is worth explaining the reason for the lower place in our rating - cost. This model will cost more than the previous one - 22,000-23,000 rubles.

2nd place: air humidifier-air cleaner Boneco W1355A

Czech-made device with a power consumption of only 20 watts. This device has a fairly effective ionizing rod - Ionic Silver Stick (7017). Mechanical control is a guarantee of durability, while the volume of humidified air is up to 125 m³/ h. Cost - from 14,500 to 15,200 rubles.

Our second place - Boneco W1355A

1st place: Timberk TAW H3 D (BL) - the cheapest option

This climatic complex is in no way inferior to more expensive analogues, performing the same functions. As one well-known advertisement said: "And if there is no difference, why pay more?" The average cost of the device on the shelves of household appliances stores is 9000-9500 rubles.

Timberk TAW H3 D (BL) - inexpensive but functional

Below we give a general rating of brands and their models, but now it is worth considering one of the important purposes of such equipment.

The best models for children

The most suitable humidifier for babies is the traditional one. But the problem with using it is the noise it makes. It is for this reason that most mothers prefer ultrasound devices. At the same time, the manufacturer adjusts to demand. For this reason, in our time, the largest percentage of air humidifiers for an apartment, equipped with backlight, among ultrasonic devices. It is such a backlight that is perfect for use as a night light.

The remote control for the humidifier is simple enough

Very important! Before purchasing such equipment for installation in a nursery, you should consult a doctor. Indeed, for some children, humidity can be destructive!

It is for this reason that we will not consider today the rating of the best humidifiers for newborns 2017-2018, as was done with devices for adults, but we will invite you to familiarize yourself with a series of publications devoted to a more detailed and thoughtful choice of these devices.

With a huge assortment of such products on the shelves of ordinary stores, you can always find the right model.
