The gentle hum of this humidifier can help lull you to sleep, keep your skin hydrated and your breathing smooth.
I\’ve finally found the perfect humidifier for my family\’s needs. It\’s small, quiet, easy to clean and has a night mode that keeps your room at the perfect humidity without any disruptive lights.
What are other benefits of keeping your home, or at least your sleeping space at the right humidity?
- Minimizes dryness and inflammation in your nasal passages.
- We are made to breathe through our nose, for filtering mostly. If you have nasal congestion through the night, you\’re forced to mouth breathe which can lead to snoring (or worst snoring), accumulation of bacteria in the mouth (think bad breath and gum disease), and even disrupted sleep – like sleep apnea.
- Can improve sleep quality.
- Especially during cold season, sleep and good quality rest help the body heal. Keeping the right level of moisture in your room can prevent disrupted sleep from coughing, congestion and dry mouth.
- Can minimize snoring… it needed to be said again.
- The right amount of moisture in the air can even keep your skin and hair glowing – or at least help prevent things from over drying, cracking and breaking.
Things to look for when purchasing a humidifier:
- Ease of use – is it easy to fill and easy to clean? You\’ll want to be totally emptying the canister every few days and cleaning the parts once a week to keep bacteria under control.
- Does it need a filter? If so, this is something you will need to replace every few weeks or month depending on the model. If it doesn\’t have a filter then keeping the humidifier clean is especially important.
- Is it disruptive? Is it loud, too bright or have limited controls that require you to be adjusting humidity levels through the night?
- Does it use a lot of energy?
THIS LEVOIT DUAL 100 ULTRASONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER CHECKS ALL OF THE RIGHT BOXES.
The parts are minimal and accessible so cleaning is a breeze – no need to bust out the pipe cleaners and get creative to get in any crevices because there aren\’t any. (The crevices are where the most bacteria get stuck – yuck).
It\’s easy to fill with a nice size opening right at the top.
Night mode turns off the notifier lights and keeps the humidity pumping at a comfortable and ideal 40-60%.
It\’s quiet! It\’s very soft hum may even help quiet your brain at night.
It\’s less than $100.
Quick Cons:
You need to fill it everyday – which I\’ve seen as a common complaint in reviews while researching. I don\’t really see this as a con though – I like the comfort of breathing in fresh mist instead of whatever may have grown in there in the few days since it was last filled. Bacteria acts fast, my friends.
Levoit has a number of different models which can make it tricky to find – though maybe while searching you\’ll find something different that better suits your needs and preferences.
In Canada, the only real option for ordering this specific model is through Amazon – Levoit only ships within the US.
