A Cool mist humidifier is a key tool to have in your home, especially if you live in cool dry conditions. Instead of using the traditional way by using a fan to blow air through a wick filter, the cool mist humidifier works by causing a small metal diaphragm to vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency. This causes the water to be broken down into small water droplets allowing it to become a fine water vapour to put back into the air in your home.
When it comes to choosing which cool mist humidifier is the right one for you, you need to look out for certain features, such as how much water it holds and how much water it puts into the air over a period of time. Also, look out for unique features such as killing bacteria and look for different styles and colour options that will help fit in best with your chosen area.
