Why buy a car humidifier?
If you do a fair amount of winter travel by car, you may have noticed that the air in your vehicle can be extremely dry. Hot air from your heater can contribute to this. The conundrum is, you need the warm air from your heater to stay comfortable when the temperature plummets. For people with dry skin issues or respiratory problems, however, commuting in a car with dry air can be downright uncomfortable. A heated keyboard can solve both these problems.
How to choose a car humidifier?
The average car humidifier is 7 to 8 inches tall with a base narrow enough to fit inside a cup holder. However, you should measure your space (including your cup holder) before ordering to visualize how a new humidifier would fit inside your car.
How does a car humidifier work?
A humidifier works by creating an air-flow through the use of a fan and pulls water vapor out of the air through a fine mist spray. This creates a much cleaner air that is much safer on your car's interior and can help to freshen it up quickly and easily if needed. These devices work well for a lot of situations, especially those where you find yourself in need of some extra humid or moist inside the car.
How long does a car humidifier usually run?
Depending on the size of the reservoir, a car humidifier can hold 50-300 milliliters and runs 2-20 hours. Usually, the more water a car humidifier holds, the longer it can operate and the less often it needs to be refilled. However, humidifiers with adjustable or faster mist speeds can shorten the runtime. Consider the length of your commute, if you plan to use the humidifier in more places than your vehicle and how often you plan to refill your humidifier before purchasing.
Types of Car Humidifiers
The two umbrella categories that humidifiers fit into are cool and warm mist. Cool mist humidifiers add moisture to the air by releasing cool vapors while warm mist humidifiers heat water then release it. Cool mist humidifiers are typically the most popular personal humidifiers for travel.
car humidifier power supply
Humidifiers come in many different styles. Some plug into the wall, some use batteries, and some even have a USB port. You should choose what type of humidifier works best for your needs. If you're going to be staying in hotels, then a wall-plug model might be best. If you plan to go camping, then a battery-operated model may be better. A USB-powered model could also work well for short trips.
Material of car humidifier
Car humidifiers are made primarily out of plastic. Many of the most popular models are advertised as being free of Bisphenol A (BPA). However, this chemical is still used in some plastics. We recommend you avoid using these products until more information about BPA is available.
Do I need to clean my humidifier?
A humidifier should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial growth. To do this, you need to wash the reservoir by hand. You also need to check the manufacturer's instructions for how to clean and maintain your humidifier.
