Humidifiers

Humidifiers ease dry air at home, in the office and in the car. You’ll find desk and mini USB humidifiers, bottle humidifiers, floor-standing models with tanks of up to 12 l, aroma diffusers with a humidifying function, 2-in-1 devices with a fan or air purifier, plus replacement wicks and filters.

Humidifiers

For a bedside table or workspace, desk and mini humidifiers with a 120 ml to 4 l tank are a good fit, mostly powered via USB or USB-C. Rechargeable models with 800 to 2000 mAh batteries run without a cable, and bottle versions turn an ordinary water bottle into a reservoir. Many have a night light or a flame or droplet effect, and for the car there are small units.

For the living room or bedroom, floor-standing humidifiers with an 8 to 12 l tank are ideal. They come with a remote control, display, timer and hygrostat that holds the set humidity, according to the manufacturer, and some also with UV sterilisation. 2-in-1 devices combine this function with a fan or with an air purifier with a HEPA H13 filter.

Ultrasonic models produce cool mist, and most also work as aroma diffusers: just add a few drops of essential oil to the water, if the manufacturer allows it. Clean the tank regularly and change the water often. For car humidifiers there are replacement cotton wicks, and for aroma diffusers filters.
