Review
A two-in-one device, this unit reduces smoke, pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, and odor particles in a closed room’s air while simultaneously humidifying it. The humidifier is certified up to 750 square feet. The purifier, however, produces just four air changes per hour–two fewer than generally accepted as desirable–in a room of only 168 square feet. That said, using the unit is an inexpensive way to humidify a room and get some air-cleaning capability as well. Two removable bottles evaporate 3.3 gallons of water in 24 hours. A humidistat automatically controls humidity at a selected level. (It can be turned off during high-humidity months, when only the air cleaner is needed.) The humidifier’s wicks may be rinsed and the purifier’s electrostatically charged filter vacuumed to prolong their lives. Bemis recommends replacing the wicks once during a humidifying season and the filter at the end of each season. The unit carries a two-year warranty against defects. — (more…)

Now you can add moisture to the air without the risk of mold and other microorganisms growing in the humidifier reservoir. Many humidifiers are a source of stagnant water which grows mold and bacteria; these organisms are then misted into the air. Enviracaire Warm Mist Humidifiers are unique, with a dual germicidal process featuring both ultraviolet light and boiling water, creating a mist 99.99% free of mold, mold spores, and bacteria.

The Enviracaire Warm Mist Humidifier uses a two-step approach to eliminate potentially harmful microorganisms before they are spread into the air. First, a special UV germicidal bulb shines on the water, as it passes from the cold water reservoirs to the hot. Second, the water is boiled in the hot water reservoir, just before the mist is distributed to the room.
