Silent by definition, the Homech HM-AH001 produces only 30 decibels when it runs. Thus, whether you want to use it to increase moisture in the bedroom, office, or nursery, it is a discrete addition that you will barely be able to hear when it runs. It is appealing design-wise as well, the 10.2” by 6.5” by 13.3” size making it a perfect fit as it won’t clutter the space at all and fit anywhere you need it to. Despite the compact size, however, it provides optimal performance in spaces of up to 430 square feet, which proves its prowess.
Per hour, it releases from 60 to 300 milliliters of cool mist into the air, and you can adjust the output by turning the dial knob at the front of the unit to the level which feels most comfortable for you. The 4-liter capacity of the water tank won’t have you refilling it all that often, and if you are not paying attention or are asleep when it runs out of water, it turns off on its own to prevent overheating. On a full tank, depending on the mist release setting you choose, it can run for 12 to 60 hours without interruption.
The 360-degree mist nozzle is another mention-worthy highlight as it ensures an even release of the mist into the room for full coverage in all directions. As it is rated at 15-25 watts power, low energy draw is a given, so it won’t cost you all that much to run it. Furthermore, it is backed on parts and labor for the first 18 months after you acquire it.

These devices not only help us, but also prevent damage to wood floors, building’s structures, and even furniture. Many of them work by breaking up water particles, and minerals to disperse them into the air, to protect us from germs, as well as of some allergies. Because of this, the “white dust” forms in the tank and around the room if you do not fill yours with distilled water.
These products add moisture to the room using either warm or cool mist technologies, the kinds of features we are talking about today.
Now that you understood the need for these devices in your home and is time to see which ones are the best.
Warm Mist
Warm mist units use an internal heating element to boil the water after which they release it into the air as an invisible mist. These types are considered healthier than others are, because the boiling process kills waterborne bacteria and mold, preventing them from extending into your home.
The warm mist models do not have internal fans and work best in smaller areas like your bedroom or your office. Unlike the other models, these ones are a bit difficult to clean.
Their benefits include:
- They eliminate allergens and flu viruses
- Some can be used to disperse steam medications
- They offer more protection for various germs and viruses
- They are not noisy
Cool Mist
Cool mist models disperse a comfortable steam of room temperature mist throughout your room, come in two varieties: evaporative or ultrasonic.
Evaporative units are those that use a fan to draw air, in from a room and blow it over to cool the air. Some of the water also evaporates creating a more humid air, making the heat disappear when evaporation takes place, repeating the process as many times as needed to cool the room.
Ultrasonic units use a vibrating metal diaphragm to make sound vibrations. These vibrations cut through the water turning them into mists that humidify the room.
Their benefits:
- Relive dry skin, allergies, flu, and asthma symptoms
- Saves energy unlike those that heat the water
- Safer with children because there is no hot water involved
- They have a large range
- Some are a bit noisy
Considering everything we’ve just talked about, it’s important for you to choose a humidifier because it will keep the air in your home clean, fresh and free of allergens. A great warm mist model is the Vicks V790 , which is perfect to help you ease cold and cough symptoms as it features Vicks Vapor stream as well as VapoPads technology. However, we also like this fancy Dyson AM10 that comes with a sleek design and enough features like its Ultra Powerful Wind, that eliminates dry air from a 172 square feet room fast. Which one do you like the most?
