(More customer reviews)As a child growing up, I always had the impeller type humidifiers in which a spinning tube would draw water inside of it and then toss it out in a visible mist. While these could be quite effective, they had the drawback of being loud and soaking everything around them.
When my daughter was born, we got an ultrasonic humidifier. The mist was a little finer, but again, it had the tendency to soak everything around it, and created scale on itself and its surroundings with tap water.
So this time I decided to go with the evaporative type of humidifier.With these, a fan draws moisture out of a wick filter that is then disbursed about the room. These types of humidifiers have the advantage of being self-regulating because evaporation is quicker in a dry room, slower in a moist room. They also trap the minerals and bacteria that may be in the water in the filter instead of spraying them in the room. The disadvantages are that they require costly filters, and you have to treat the water to keep bacteria, mold, and scale from building up on the filter and components.Both of these can be achieved with the addition of a few drops of humidifier treatments that can be found at your local Wal-Mart.
With all this in mind, I did lots of comparison shopping and finally turned to the Graco 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier.This compact unit appears to be much more durable than other brands at a similar price point, and since its components are dishwasher safe, it is much easier to give it a thorough cleaning. Although the unit could be considered loud, especially on its high setting, the low setting is quite pleasant to me, and provides a nice white noise to counteract background sounds.Most importantly, it does a good job of raising the humidity into comfortable levels during the winter.And with the water appropriately treated, there is NO mold on my filter and minimal mineral deposits.
Note: this is advertised as a "baby" humidifier, but its shape and design fit as well as any other humidifier in any room of your house.We bought two.One for our bedroom, the other for my daughter.
