Humidifier Reviews

There has been frequent debate among designers and consumers of the warm mist humidifier or the vaporizer and the cool mist humidifier as to which one is truly better than the other. Perhaps you, as the potential buyer, want to know which one you should spend your hard earned money on. Read on and discover a few facts about each mist humidifier.

A steam vaporizer or a warm mist humidifier is one that essentially boils the water before releasing it as a fine mist that increases the humidity of the area. Due to this process, it has a level of safety that the cool mist humidifier may have, sterilizing the would-be airborne water and making sure you don’t breathe in any bacteria. Due to this, it’s practically safe to just use tap water to fill up the humidifier as you can do so without any real worries.

Of course, the main safety concern with this is that you need to be careful not to burn yourself on the boiling water, which could happen if the machine spills over. This machine should be used with extreme care with children.

A cool mist humidifier works by creating water vapor using a spinning disk that disperses the water. This is cheaper because it does not need the energy or electricity to thoroughly boil the water, but of course carriers the risk of transmitting bacteria that was already in the water. This can cause chaos by making the breathing air worse rather than better. Constant and persistent maintenance is absolutely vital to ensure the overall safety of the product and to prevent further infection.

Of course, without the hot water around, it’s infinitely safer that the warm mist humidifier. Care should still be taken of course and some people go so far as to pre-boil the water or use distilled water just to be absolutely sure.

Despite these facts, some people actually say that there’s no real difference between the two as by the time the vapor reaches your lungs, whether it’s warm or cold, it’s the same temperature. For many consumers, it comes down to their local climate. If it’s cold where they live, they buy the warm mist humidifier. If it’s warm, they buy the cool mist humidifier.

Now, armed with these facts and knowledge, you are free to decide which of the two you should buy. Just take a deep breath and don’t worry. You’ll make the right choice.
