Just wet a towel and hang it in your room ezpz.
this works surprisingly well. i used a bamboo clothes rack and a full sized bath towel. soaked the towel until it was close to dripping wet and hung the towel on the rack. turned the ceiling fan on low and the humidity increased by nearly 20 percent over an hour. doesn't use any power, doesn't make any noise, and doesn't leave any dusty residue like humidifiers do with hard water.

This is literally whay my air circulator / humidifier combo does. It has what is essentially towel kind material inside that gets wet when you insert water into the canister. Then it blows through it and the blown air goes through filter.
Dry skin, dry throat, static electricity, humid feels warmer than dry, also not sure if pseudoscience but can prevent flus
This, the small humidifiers barely hold more water in their tanks than what a large towel could absorb
Also if you buy one of those ultrasonic mist humidifiers it will deposit the minerals inside the water everywhere in your room and lungs
>Also if you buy one of those ultrasonic mist humidifiers it will deposit the minerals inside the water everywhere in your room and lungs
The tweeter creates a mist of tiny drops which then evaporate, so whatever impurities there are in every drop become basically fine mineral dust in the air. I don't think it's any worse than normal city dust though. Other kinds of humidifiers don't have this problem, like this one for example. It's a bunch of textured rotating disks with a cylindrical fan blowing at them. I guess if you don't feel it, then you don't need it, but to me sleeping in a room with dry air is very unpleasant. Only need it in winter obviously.
>I don't think it's any worse than normal city dust though.
The real problem is they get shit growing in them and spread it through the air, and it's pretty much impossible to prevent without buying specially treated water. Consumer Reports did a lot of writeups on it back in the day.
Make some tea
Just dump a bucket of water on your bed
what an utter meme
>70€
but at least it's norwegian design
Bit random, but don't put essential oils in your humidifier. It can kill your cat
oil in anything that vaporizes it is a no no
I'm in Hawaii. I really should have a dehumidifier.
You on Oahu? I'm in Mccully
humidifer is scam tech in my country
This winter was really warm so humidity in my room dropped only below 30% for a handful of days. Expensive for what is only necessary for 2 days
IDK I've bought a few but even the ones consumer reports likes don't seem like they do shit even to just 1 room. And they're all made by fricking aliens, why are 100% of them shaped like some weird buttplug I have to detach and carry across my house instead of filling from the top, why do they fricking all have blue strobe lights on them?
what's the problem with low humidity? I live in a place where it never gets below 70%.
humidity below 30% can cause microcracks in your sinus which increase your risk of respiratory infection
I get really bad dandruff problems
If you take 70% RH air at 30 degrees and heat it to 70 degrees it becomes like 10% RH air
UK here. I have a dehumidifier and run it daily through winter and spring, keep my humidity around 50-60 percent. Also it is useful for drying clothes inside the house and stops them smelling of damp.
you dont need above 50%, its marketing
>I keep getting static shocks in cold weather without one
are all you anons chinks? wtf is the point of a humidifier
>Humidifiers are technology, do you have one?
No I just leave the shower running all day.
Ultrasonic humidifiers aerosolize harmful micro particles of various mineral impurities in the water and also very quickly start growing bacterial contamination without frequent sanitizing. Always use heat evaporative humidifiers to avoid seriously damaging the air quality inside your home.
This. Using cold mist humidifiers is very easy way to develop hypersensitivity pneumonitis that can later lead to life threatening lung conditions. Basically same as living in a moldy house.
I'd say never use cold mist humidifiers. Not worth the hassle.
yes it helps my sinuses in the winter to not breathe dry air 24/7. The heater really messes up the air
Humidifiers is old-lady-tech.
Unless you live in a desert, owning a humidifier is mental illness.
It's called a shower, and the myeclia in my walls really love it.
>wanting to transform your home into a swamp
They are a literal scam.
If you set the cap at reasonable % it won't make a swamp
I've just gotten used to grounding myself before touching my electronics. Though sometimes I forget and touch my keyboard, which causes all my usb connected peripherals briefly disconnect and reconnect.
I stopped using it because maintaining it got too annoying
also it started getting some weird green shit on it and I felt like I should stop at that point
it's probably more dangerous to use a dirty humidifier
Yes, got a chink ultrasound one. It works, but cleaning it is annoying. I should get a deionizer. And the fan got really noisy to the point where the noise is more of an annoyance than the dry air.
Got this. Works well.
I have it set on the lowest setting while I'm in the room. I put it on the highest setting when I'm out for a while.
It takes a bit of maintenance if you want to maximize the efficiency.
I rotate 4 filters, wapping the filter every time I have to refill the tank, which can take 1-2 days.
Then I'll wash the filters in vinegar to make sure it doesn't get moldy.
If I don't watch the filters, they can grow mold in like a month.
i like my home as dry as a desert
No I don't want mold buildup in my house.
No I use a heat pump.
