What is essential when buying Air Innovations Humidifier?
Before buying an Air Innovations Humidifier consider factors such as the run time, coverage area and refilling process. We’ll explain some of these factors below.
Why Air Innovations Humidifier?
Air Innovations Humidifiers are known for their quietness. They all provide clean air since their tanks are anti-microbial. And the best part is they are very affordable.
Features to consider while choosing an Air Innovations Humidifier
These humidifiers appear identical but they function differently. The products each contain different features which affect their overall performance. So before making any purchases, consider the following and make sure which one suits your needs.
Type
All Air Innovations humidifiers have a sole purpose; to add moisture in the air. But even so, there are multiple types which you must know about:
- Cool-mist humidifiers: This type disperses room temperature mist and generally covers a large area. The best part is they don’t use as much electricity as the other types.
- Warm mist humidifiers: This type releases warm moisture into a room thanks to the heating element designed to heat water before dispersing. Because of this function, it’s not surprising that they use a lot of electricity. But since the water is boiled germs are killed in the process resulting in cleaner and safer air that’s free from impurities.
- Ultrasonic humidifiers: These can either disperse hot or cold mist into the air depending on the model you pick. However, the main reason for its popularity is because it’s extremely quiet. Most models reviewed above are ultrasonic.
Coverage area
Consider the space you want to humidify. Is it a small or large area? This will determine the coverage area the humidifier must reach. For a large room, you’ll need a high capacity humidifier that can release moisture into a large area such as the MH-801B-PLAT
When using the humidifier in a small room, picking a humidifier with a small coverage area like the 901D model will suffice.
Water tank capacity
If you don’t want to be refilling your humidifier every now and again, then pick one with a large water tank capacity such as the MH-801B-PLAT which can accommodate 2.1g. On the other hand, simply be prepared to regularly refill the unit if you pick a humidifier with a small water tank capacity.
Ultimately you must take your cue from the space you want to humidify. Buy one with a large water tank if you’re humidifying a big room.
Runtime
How long can the humidifier run for before it needs refilling? The overall run time of the humidifier is directly related to the size of the water tank as highlighted above.
What you need to be aware of is how long it’ll last when operating at low or high settings. Usually the runtime is significantly reduced if the humidifier is operating at high settings.
Dimensions and weight
The overall dimensions—and weight—of the humidifier is important as it affects placement and portability. Will you be placing the humidifier on a table top or floor? If you’re placing it on a counter top, then pick a compact one. A large unit will work if you plan on placing it on the floor. Will you be using the humidifier in a single room or the entire house? If you’ll be moving it from one room to the next then a lightweight humidifier such as the 901D model is ideal for easy mobility.
Warranty
You’ll be happy to know that all Air Innovations humidifiers are covered by a one-year warranty. This is a clear indication of the manufacturer’s confidence in the product.
Extra features
Some models do come with a few extra features to enhance performance of the unit. These include auto-shut-off controls, timers and night lights. The MH-505 comes with night lights to help you read the display screen in the dark.
Other models come with filters and oil diffusers which save you the hassle of making additional purchases.
But generally note that the extra features on the model may increase the overall cost of the unit slightly.
How to maintain an Air Innovations Humidifier
Regular maintenance of these units is non-negotiable if you expect them to function optimally—and last longer. You can start off by regularly cleaning the water tank to minimize any mold and bacteria build-up. Failure to do so and you & your family will be inhaling unclean air which can be harmful.
Misting outlets must be checked regularly to ensure that moisture is flowing effortlessly.
All Air Innovations humidifiers have permanent filters which don’t need replacing.
However, the above are general guidelines, so, make use of your product’s individual maintenance instructions to avoid damaging the unit.
