Looking for humidity (at night in bedroom) for relief from dry skin and hair- Is this a good unit for that purpose?

Eventhough it's not a humidifier, it does put some moister in the air. Honestly I prefer it over humidifier because its much quiter, and the mist finer putting just enough moiter in the air to aliviate dry sinus. I run it for 3 hours in the eve before bed time then reset to and additional 3 when going to bed and it does the trick for us (10x12 room).

If looking to specifically add humidity to a room, A better bet is to look into actual humidifiers made for that purpose ( such as the Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier ). While this unit likely will add a certain degree of humidity to the air, it is for diffusing essential oils. The product description states it holds a large amount of water at 500ml (a standard water bottle holds 500ml or 16.9 ounces). This seems to be true based on the research I have done --- for diffusers --- but for a humidifier one should, I would think, be looking for a water capacity of 1 gallon or more for a small room on up in size.

Yes- that's what I use it for, as well as to alleviate sinus congestion. I've noticed an improvement over the past few weeks since beginning use with moisturizing my skin, hair, and nasal passages. My skin's not as itchy, my hair is more full/less brittle, and I can breathe! It's helped me a lot.

Yes, since it holds a large amount of water (500ml) it would be able to run throughout the entire night. All diffusers act as humidifiers but most of them don't hold enough water to run for a very long time.

I don't know if it will produce enough moisture for that unless your room is pretty small but it is an excellent diffuser for essential oils.

It's not a humidifier. This unit is for diffusing essential oils into the air.

I have had mine for about 2 weeks now and I just love it. It fits nicely on bedside table and works all night without making the room too humid.

You might need 2 of these but what's the reason you want to use this when you have to charge it for 8 to 12 hours and then unplug it and use it until its power wears of an plug it again. It might be useful if you are one that goes out of town and the humidifier working. I use it for my car when I go out of town. Have you checked the Eva-air Petite Electric Dehumidifier? If might be better for bedroom, again depending on your purpose. I have one of the electric. So it is continuous and trips off when the water it collects in its built-in container gets filled.

I've found it lasts all night. Which considering that this is only effective when you are right next to it, and is not intended to humidify an entire room, is all that you would need.

No. Definitely not. If you're wanting something that adds a measurable amount of moisture to the air, get an actual humidifier. This diffuser is only about 6 inches tall, and outputs less than 1 cup of water over about 6-8 hours. I use it for aromatherapy and it sits on my desk at work. It's that small.

I would not recommend that. There is an inline control switch which may not handle the humidity well in a sauna or steam room.

Yes but it helps to keep your room under 50% humidity. works very well-I have allergies and have my asthma under control but really helps.

I think the answer lies in how the rooms are configured. This humidifier is a bit over-qualified for just one bedroom, but I'm not sure how it would work for two separate bedrooms. My best guess on what would work for you would be: Use one humidifier for the living room/kitchen combo and one for the space between the bedrooms, during the day. If someone needs more moisture while sleeping, move the humidifier to that bedroom for the night. My experience with whole house humidifiers is that they tend to over-humidify, which tends to lead to mold and mildew.

No, just HVAC. This unit not designed to control humidity. Hope this helps!

There seems to be a wide range of reports on the sensitivity; the initial reviewers that tried the free samples indicated it was sufficient, but a lot of subsequent reviews said it wasn't very sensitive. It may be installation issues, but it's difficult to tell.I was looking for it as a garage ventilation fan control, so I wanted to be able to set a much lower humidity threshold than would be typically found in the bathroom application, but the reviews aren't very consistent.

We use it intermittently because our heat doesn't build until afternoon and we get two days or more between refills. It is noisy, larger than we thought but very effective. We like the humidity it adds to our dry air. We live in desert.

I am in Colorado, pretty dry here. I am not sure how well it would work in a humid area. It doea not freeze out my daughters room and hers is 100 sq ft. It just makes it cool. I would not get this one if your area is much larger than that.

I haven't measured the humidity in various parts of the room. The mist definitely dissipates within a 3 foot radius, but it still likely has humidifying effects beyond that. It will depend on the size of your room as to how much the total humidity is affected. This product works well for me because I'm just trying to get some relief when I sleep. I pull it up fairly close to my bed, point it at my head and I can feel the difference. It doesn't make anything wet though which is good.

I believe the amount of moisture placed into the air by this machine is not sufficient to add to the humidity. It does a good job of dispersing essential oils, but the entire cycle with the reservoir filling is 100 ml - not much water. I suggest a humidifier instead

I have it in a 10 by 12 foot room and it seems to keep the humidity to 51%. It seems unable to get the humidity below 50%. A small compressor type dehumidifier was able to drop the humidity to below 40% easily. Also, this unit will raise the room temperature more than a compressor type unit will. It is pretty expensive for not much capacity, I will see how long the unit lasts.

We're using the unit in a room that's about 420 SF, but it also has a 10 ft ceiling. I fill the unit up twice a day, about a gallon each time. We've had no problems with dry air symptoms although the humidity ranges from 32-42%. The unit is very quiet, particularly compared to our previous humidifier, and we've seen no white dust. We do use the recommended demineralization cartridge (Kaz DC-51) and the antimicrobial cleaning cartridge (Protec PC-1) to help with keeping the unit clean and because of our hard water.

This unit, different from an air conditioner, relies on evaporation of the mist it places in the air to cool a room. It does a great job lowering the ambient temperature by double digits but high humidity caps its effectiveness. That being said, a 20ft x 20ft room is about the limit of the beneficial result. Great product for cooling that one bedroom that always just stays too warm.

Yes!!! Use it regularly. If you are concerned with excessive dry skin, get the green roller &#128522;
