Should I buy a misty or mistless humidifier? What is the best capacity of a humidifier?

There are two types of humidifiers on the market, one with fog and one without fog. So is it better to buy a humidifier with fog or without fog? What is the best capacity of a humidifier?

Should I buy a mist humidifier or a mistless one?

When buying a humidifier, try to choose one with no or little white mist. These white mists are actually composed of small water droplets. The minerals in the water will be sprayed out with the water mist. These white mists containing minerals have a strong adsorption capacity and will absorb dust, bacteria, viruses and toxic pollutants such as decoration residues in the air, especially in the case of poor air quality. There are many tiny particles in the air, which are easily irritated to the trachea and bronchial mucosa after being adsorbed by the white mist, causing a variety of respiratory system diseases. The respiratory mucosa of the elderly, pregnant women and children is relatively fragile and more susceptible to these pollutants.

What size humidifier should I buy?

It is most suitable to buy a 4-liter humidifier for home use, which can spray continuously for about 8 to 10 hours. The water needs to be poured out after a long time. It cannot be insufficient for one night. Of course, it also depends on the amount of mist. The principle is that it must be enough to spray all night, and you don't have to get up in the middle of the night to add water.

When choosing a humidifier based on the size of the house, it is not good to be too dry or too wet. Only scientific humidification can better protect the health of yourself and your family, so the size of the house is a factor to consider before purchasing. For example, a 20-square-meter room is suitable for a humidifier with a humidification capacity of more than 270ml/h, while a 40 or 50-square-meter room should choose a product with a humidification capacity of 540ml/h.

What kind of humidifier should I buy?

1. Check whether the humidifier has a strong humidity sensor. This is very important. If the humidity sensor is not strong, it cannot guarantee whether the humidity is within the set range. So how do you know whether the humidity sensor of the humidifier is good? You can use a hygrometer and set the humidity of the humidifier. After a while, check whether the humidity meter matches the value set by the humidifier. Check whether the humidifier has a filtering function.

Many people subconsciously believe that a humidifier is only used to increase the humidity in the air. In fact, this is not the case. In addition to increasing the humidity in the air, a humidifier should also have a filtering function. While absorbing dry air, it can also filter out tiny particles such as hair and dust to ensure clean and healthy air.

2. See if the humidifier can customize the humidity function. Different living environments require different relative humidity. For example, the suitable humidity for people is 45%RH-75%RH, the best humidity for disease prevention and treatment is 40%RH-55%RH, and the humidity for libraries and archives is 40%RH-60%RH. Therefore, the humidifier needs to have a custom humidity function to meet the needs of different environments.

Should I buy a humidifier with or without a filter?

Ordinary humidifiers do not have filter cartridges, while better humidifiers have filter cartridges. If there is no filter cartridge, the water source contains bleach and impurities, which will be harmful to the human body. Humidifiers with filters are healthier because the filters will filter out impurities.
