In this article we explore the best humidifier and diffuser combos on the market today. We start by laying out the important qualities to look for when shopping for one of these items. Later on we take these qualities and use them to screen the available combos to provide our recommendation for the top humidifier/diffuser as well as a runner up.
The Screening Process
One of the first things that stands out during research on humidifiers can be found in the user manual. Most humidifier manufacturers indicate their humidifiers are not to be used with essential oils. Rather than comb through all available humidifier documentation, we decided to go another route. What if we looked at essential oil diffusers that acted like humidifiers?
This method narrowed the field considerably. The is a special class of essential oil diffusers that add moisture to the air just like a humidifier. They are called a variety of names: cool mist diffuser, ultrasonic diffuser and so on. In this article we will refer to them as ultrasonic diffusers. They get this name because they produce ultrasonic vibrations to agitate the water and cause it to form a mist.
Capacity
After examining this set of appliances we further narrowed our scope by looking for ultrasonic diffusers with larger capacities. Many ultrasonic diffusers have very small capacities, under 500 mL (slightly more than 2 cups). If you compare this to the capacity of most humidifiers on the market today, it is pretty small.
The capacity is important because it is directly related to continuous run time. Humidifying the air is a long term process. It also works best if there is a near constant supply of moisture going into the air. The same principle applies to aromatherapy. On to the recommendations!
1500ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser by Exqline
The fist diffuser and humidifier combo we recommend is the 1500ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser by Exqline. It has a high capacity of just over 40 ounces of water, the highest capacity we found in a humidifier and diffuser combo. This gives it a run time of up to 20 hours. Read on to see some of the more unique features that set this ultrasonic humidifier apart from the crowd.
The Exqline Diffuser is one of the few humidifier combos that has a continuously variable output. This means that it isn’t just a high or low setting for how much moisture it puts into the air. You can turn the knob to adjust how much mist your diffuser puts out.
Area of coverage
This ultrasonic diffuser can provide restorative humidity for up to a 325 square foot area. It also provides aromatherapy for up to 450 square feet. Because of the large area it can provide humidity for, we are confident in recommending it as the best humidifier and diffuser combo on the market today.
There is one downside however, it does not come with any pre-set timers. This means that the ultrasonic diffuser will run continuously until you turn it off. It does have a safety feature to turn itself off when it runs out of water. The auto-shutoff feature is commonly found on quality humidifiers.
