When choosing a humidifier, the key is to look at these 6 points:

1. Humidification capacity
Humidification capacity first depends on the amount of humidification, the unit is ml/hour, which refers to how many milliliters of water the humidifier can deliver to the air per hour. Greater humidification means that the indoor humidity can be increased more quickly.

It is advisable to buy a large amount of humidification instead of a small one. If it is small, the humidification will be slow, and the water vapor generated will not be able to cover the entire room, and the effect of uniform humidification will not be achieved, and the experience will be very poor. However, bigger is not always better, as long as it meets your needs.

There is no unified regulation on the usable area in the current existing standards. It is suggested that you can choose according to 15 times to 20 times of your usable area.

2. Water tank and water filling method
The capacity of the humidifier water tank determines how often to add water. The capacity of humidifiers on the market is generally between 3L and 7L. You can choose according to your own needs. When purchasing, try to choose a larger one to save trouble. If it is too small, adding water frequently will make you annoyed to doubt your life.

In addition, the humidifier needs to add water, change water and clean frequently during use. It is recommended to choose a humidifier with top-filling, detachable water tank, large opening, and split type.

3. Constant humidity function
The most suitable temperature for the human body is 40%~60%. Too wet or too dry is not good for human health. It is best to choose a humidifier with an intelligent constant temperature system, which can reduce the trouble of manual switching.

4. Antibacterial ability
Humidifiers store water for a long time, which is easy to breed bacteria, so choose one with antibacterial and anti-mildew functions.

Common sterilization methods include antibacterial filter element, antibacterial water tank, silver ion sterilization, UV ultraviolet sterilization, adding antibacterial masterbatch or antibacterial agent to the sink, high temperature sterilization, negative ion sterilization and deodorization, etc. The humidifier adopts a variety of antibacterial Bacterial mode, the antibacterial effect will be better.

5. Noise

For the same humidification capacity, try to choose a model with low noise. The recommended noise for general living environment is <42 decibels, and the noise for sleep and other noise-sensitive environments should be <38 decibels.

6. Replacement cost

The filter screen of the humidifier needs to be replaced, so pay attention to the price and frequency of filter screen replacement, and don't buy a filter that costs too much to replace.
