Humidifier Reviews

A humidifier is a device that releases water vapor into the air to raise the humidity level of a room or house. Heating appliances used to warm enclosed spaces can cause humidity levels to drop too low. In turn, this dryness causes various health problems such as coughs, fevers, dry eyes, itchy skin, dehydration and a weakened respiratory system. Excessively low humidity can also damage furniture.
 
 A humidifier contains a water reserve which is then evaporated over a period of time (depending on the size of the tank) and released into the air as a fog. A humidifier can thus protect one’s health, and saves furniture and appliances from damage. It also conserves energy since the right humidity level helps your body tolerate cold temperatures more.
 
There are some health risks associated with the use of some types of humidifiers as some types release pollution into the air together with the water (e.g. if the water has high mineral content, the minerals are freed into the air with the water). This is true for the impeller and ultrasonic types of humidifiers.
