During flu season, cold/dry air, especially when the Santa Ana wind blows in Southern California, makes breathing difficulties worse. The humidity outside often falls below 15% and when the heating is turned on, the humidity in the room drops even more. Other air humidifiers (tank class approx. 6 liters, approx. 50 euros) often do not indicate a capacity (liters per hour), but rather operating hours (e.g. 20-60 hours). The more working hours, the less throughput. I used $50 on the highest setting for 3 hours and the room humidity reading from the thermostat barely changed, not even 1%. Because the humidifier is small, most mist just falls in front of the humidifier and wets the floor/table surface. This humidifier is probably the only one that truly increases indoor humidity by more than 1 or 2% and costs less than $200. In fact, the output is 1.5 l/h. That translates to 4 hours of run time for a 6 liter tank, which is 5 times the capacity of another $50 6 liter humidifier that has a 20 hour run time. By pointing the two exhaust pipes in opposite directions, getting the air to absorb the resulting mist is much more efficient than just wetting the surface in front of it. A big difference you can FEEL!
