Dry air is an insidious enemy of our skin. Because of it, the evaporation of water from the surface of the dermis increases. As a result, it peels off, cracks, becomes dull, lethargic. Therefore, in summer and winter (during the heating period), it is important to use systems that regulate temperature and humidity. We collected all types of humidifiers in this material, told how they differ and presented popular models.

Types of air humidifiers for home and apartment
Traditional
The gadget works almost like a cleaner. It sucks in air, after which it drives the entire flow through the water filter. Such a filter may look different (like a reservoir, a richly moistened sponge, etc.). While this process is taking place, the moisture evaporates little by little and the moist air leaving the device fills the room.
Peculiarities:
- usually low-power, designed for small spaces. Even if it is indicated that the serviced area is 40 sq.m, the most humidified air will be only in the room where the gadget is located. But in remote areas there will be no effect. Therefore, they are usually used for 1 room or studio (up to 25–30 sq.m);
- need to be cleaned from time to time from debris and dust that settle on the walls;
- you need to change the water once a day, because the dust settles in the tank, on the filter;
- usually quiet (up to 30 dB);
- small size and light (up to 5 kg) — can be quickly moved to another room.
Steam
The principle is based on heating the liquid that is in the tank. All that is required is to fill the flask from time to time. The water heats up and a trickle of steam comes out of the appliance, saturating the air in the room.
Peculiarities:
- you need to choose the right location. The steam is hot — it is important that the cat, dog, child cannot reach it. It is also better not to direct steam to furniture made of chipboard or pasted over with a film (for example, kitchen facades are often decorated with it). From regular exposure to steam, the film will peel off;
- for very small rooms (6–8 sq.m) they are not suitable; in winter, in rooms where they are heavily heated, they cannot be used. Otherwise, a sauna effect is created. The air becomes very humid and hot, it is difficult to breathe;
- does not need frequent cleaning (as the first option), since it does not allow polluted air to pass through it.
Ultrasonic
The most modern type. An ultrasonic humidifier works unusually. Water enters a special membrane (inside the device). The membrane vibrates and pushes the water molecules out.
Peculiarities:
- quiet (up to 35 dB);
- you can more accurately control the process of humidity in the room;
- can be placed in both small and large rooms;
- do not overheat the air.
Often, manufacturers combine a humidifier and an air purifier. This allows you to eliminate even small debris, spores and allergens. Photo: jackiandnicolo.comWhich humidifier to choose
one. For a small room better ultrasonic or traditional.
2. For a small room better ultrasonic or traditional.
3. Need a very cheap model for a medium-sized, slightly heated room, where there are no children and animals? It is worth choosing ultrasonic.
four. For a big house it is better to choose several gadgets, depending on the area and heating of the premises.
When buying a humidifier for an apartment and a house, you should pay attention to:
- performance. Usually the company writes on what area the gadget can be installed (for example, up to 30 sq.m). But this figure is overestimated. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the water flow (ml/h). For 15–25 sq.m, 200–250 ml/h is enough, for 30–35 sq.m 300–400 ml/h, for 40+ sq.m 500 ml/h and above.
- power - for an apartment, on average, 30–35 watts is enough. Less — suitable for a room, more — designed for large areas;
- noise level is a subjective indicator. If you need a completely quiet gadget, choose up to 30–35 dB (like a human whisper);
- Additional features. For example, built-in purifier, fragrance, ionizer, backlight, etc.
And now let’s move on to the rating of air humidifiers for houses and apartments, which, in our opinion, deserve attention. If you have feedback about these or other models, we will be glad to read them in the comments. All prices listed in this top are current at the time of writing.
