Vapor Therapy for Healthful Living
Water is one nutrient that all forms of life must have to survive. All functions of your body require sufficient moisture to work properly. When your body does not have sufficient moisture, it functions poorly. Dry, arid climatic conditions are usually the culprit. Colds and flu can further cause dehydration.
Colds and flu begin making their seasonal rounds during fall and winter. Part of the reason for increased respiratory illnesses during this
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've been using these for 4 years now. I've purchased four and only pitched one (though I'm about to replace the second one I purchased because it's not putting out the steam - it's 4 years old). (I number them so I know which older/younger.)
Pro:
- They're cheap! I can purchase 10 of these for what it would cost to purchase a nice ultrasonic humidifier.
- No gross filters. No funky chemicals.
- When it doesn't work or gets gross, I'll pitch it.
- Supposedly warm mist grows less bacteria than cool mist (verify this, I read it several years ago and may be wrong).
- Cleaning is easy. Warm vinegar removes the scale that builds up over time.
Con:
- I have to refill them about 3 times a day.
Though the company does not recommend it, I pretty much run them 24/7 when at home. I unplug them before leaving the house - no need to start a fire.
Here in Nevada the humidity is extremely low. With three of these running my home feels warmer and the humidity gets up to 33% (still really low). The humidity helps both my skin and my sinuses.
