The best ultrasonic humidifiers in the mid-price segment

Devices at an average price can be classified as multifunctional; they can have many options, but the quality of the components does not always meet high standards. The advantages of such devices include availability in stores, standard parameters and a relatively low price. In this nomination, three models were considered, which among two dozen applicants deserved the highest score.

Electrolux EHU-3710D/3715D

All Electrolux ultrasonic humidifiers are multifunctional. This model is equipped not only with standard options, but also has parameters that make it stand out from the rest. With a tank volume of 5 liters, Electrolux is capable of humidifying a room of 45 sq/m almost 24 hours, without additional refilling. There is an ionization function, a built-in hygrostat and the ability to preheat the water. The humidifier also has a UV lamp, which destroys harmful bacteria and viruses in the treated area. The antibacterial coating of the water tank ensures the safety of the sprayed liquid. Separately, users like the backlight of the case, which operates in three modes.

Advantages

• Five operating modes of the humidifier;
• Demineralizing cartridge;
• Adjustment of direction of blowing and humidification;
• Convenient control from the remote control;
• Stable rubberized feet.

Flaws

• Consumes a lot of electricity;
• Condensation accumulates on the outer walls and under the device.

Experts rate this model as average; it has many functions, but the assembly and components of Electrolux are not of the best quality. Plus, the device is not economical; in constant operation it consumes a lot of energy.

Aic SPS-902

A small humidifier with air ionization and a power of 110 W. It has functionality similar to the previous model, but at the same time the device has a timer for up to 12 hours. Separately, it is worth mentioning the ease of operation and maintenance of the device; it has a large and convenient 5-liter tank and automatically turns off when it is empty. The device operates relatively quietly; occasionally there is an overflow of water, which can be heard. The humidity sensor provides readings with minimal errors, assessing the air humidity not only around the device, but throughout the entire room. The display has a bright backlight that can be adjusted to a comfortable level so that it does not interfere. A remote control is provided.

Advantages

• Water preheating;
• Built-in thermometer;
• Touchscreen;
• Accurate assembly;
• Large numbers on the display.

Flaws

• Loud sound indication;
• Simple unattractive design.

Experts also recommend using only filtered water in this model to avoid the appearance of a white coating on the furniture. Most reviews of the Aik ultrasonic humidifier are positive, despite its shortcomings.

The best ultraviolet lamps

Xiaomi CJJSQ01ZM

Compact modern model with an innovative system from Xiaomi. This device can be controlled remotely via a WI-FI interface by downloading the necessary application to your smartphone. The intelligent controller built into the equipment independently monitors the level of humidity in the room and sets the fan rotation speed. The built-in UV lamp destroys germs, disinfecting the room at a set time. The body is made of antibacterial material and the water tank is made of durable tempered glass to increase the body's resistance to harsh environmental conditions. The reservoir can be filled while the device is running.

Advantages

• Shutdown due to lack of fluid;
• Low energy consumption;
• Timer and calendar;
• Automatic firmware update;
• Low price.

Flaws

• There is no way to set the direction of the steam;
• Non-Russianized application.

The application for controlling equipment from a smartphone is made only in Chinese and English. This creates inconvenience for users, since the kit does not include a remote control, and the settings take a long time to understand.

Review of manufacturers

On the market you can find products from various manufacturers - both famous and non-name ones. The products of the latter are most often distinguished by their low price, but at the same time poor quality. This is due to the use of low-quality materials, leading to low reliability.

RUR 2,990

Characteristics

• serviced area: 30 m²
• humidifier type: ultrasonic
• water consumption: 200 ml/h
• water tank volume: 4.5 l
• control: mechanical
• Features: adjustable fan speed/evaporation intensity

Seventh place is taken by VITEK VT-2347. A budget humidifier from a Russian brand with individual advantages over competitors. First of all, these are two outlet nozzles with the ability to adjust the direction of steam output by 360 degrees. Due to this, there is a more uniform distribution of moisture compared to competitors. Designed for a room up to 30 m². Water consumption is quite modest - 200 ml/h versus 380 for Royal Clima Sanremo. This can be considered as a plus - a tank with a volume of 4.5 liters will last up to 22 hours of continuous operation, on the other hand, it is a minus - the speed of the process of increasing humidity is reduced, sometimes it is impossible to achieve the optimal value in a very dry room.

The device has 3 modes - selected using a rotary switch, there are LEDs by which you can identify the active one. The advantage over Royal Clima Sanremo is the convenient top filling of water. There is also a transparent scale for determining the amount of water in the tank. Price - 3,000 rubles.

Pros:

• Price.
• Simple controls.
• 2 nozzles with the ability to adjust the direction of steam exit.
• Ease of use.
• Large container volume and low water consumption.
• Handle for transporting the tank.

Minuses:

• There is no way to regulate the humidity level - the manufacturer did not even indicate what level of humidity and in what mode can be achieved.
• High noise level.
• The declared service area, according to user reviews, is overestimated.
• Not suitable for use in very dry rooms.

Budget-friendly, extremely simple humidifier without additional functionality. Suitable for small rooms with a non-critical decrease in humidity levels . For large rooms where effective humidification is required, you will have to consider more expensive models, for example, Ballu UHB-990. You can save another 1,000 rubles and purchase Deerma DEM-F500. It wins in terms of evaporation power, but, according to user reviews, you can run into defects.
