Rating of the best humidifiers in 2022 (TOP 8)

A humidifier is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor climate. The device helps to increase and maintain the optimal level of humidity in the room. But the market is huge, as is the price run. And are additional functions such as auto mode, timer, steam direction adjustment, remote control worth overpaying? And are devices with such functionality necessarily much more expensive? Armed with expert opinion and user feedback, I have selected 8 best humidifiers from different price ranges and is ready to talk about each model, their advantages and disadvantages.

Table of participants in the rating of air humidifiers for an apartment and a house in 2022

Royal Clima Sanremo

Opens the Royal Clima Sanremo rating. Budget Chinese humidifier with an unusual design. The lower part is white, and the upper part is white, blue or purple. The solution is controversial, some users like it, in my subjective opinion, it looks cheap. The humidifier has an evaporation capacity of 380 ml/hourwith a three-liter water tank, it will last for 8 hours of continuous operation in maximum mode.

The efficiency of humidification is ensured by the rotary design of the atomizer — it rotates 360 degrees. In terms of functionality, the device is as simple as possible — stepless power adjustment with rotary switch, LED indicator of work, automatic shutdown in the absence of water. There are no additional options, which is not surprising with a price tag of 2500 rubles.

The model is quite popular in our country, and therefore was in the ranking. As experience shows, it is not very reliable, materials and build quality leave much to be desired. On Yandex. There are a lot of positive reviews and ratings in the market. Most often, users appeal to a low price. For its price tag, it is really not bad, but when compared with competitors from the same price range, it loses to them in terms of functionality and workmanship. Therefore, in my opinion, Royal Clima Sanremo received the last place justifiably.

VITEK VT-2347

The seventh place is occupied 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 outlet by 360 degrees. Due to this, a more even distribution of moisture occurs in comparison with competitors. Designed for rooms up to 30 m². Water consumption is quite modest — 200 ml / h against 380 for Royal Clima Sanremo. This can be seen as a plus — a 4.5 liter tank will last up to 22 hours of continuous operation, on the other hand, this is a minus — the speed of the process of increasing humidity decreases, sometimes it is impossible to achieve the optimal indicator in a very dry room.

The device has 3 modes — are 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 water refill. And also there is a transparent scale for determining the amount of water in the tank. The price is 3,000 rubles.

Budget, as simple as possible humidifier without additional functionality. Suitable for small rooms with non-critical reduction in humidity levels. For large rooms that require effective humidification, you will have to consider more expensive models, such as the 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 marriage.

Deerma DEM-F500

In sixth place is Deerma DEM-F500. Sub-brand Xiaomi in 2020 introduced a compact and quite efficient humidifier. Of the design features, it should be noted the presence of carbon filters — this prolongs the life of the device, softening the water, cleans the supplied steam. Let’s go through the functionality: a rotating nozzle, shutdown when there is no water in the tank. Unlike competitors above, it has a flavoring function. Designed for rooms up to 30 m². The volume of the tank is 5 liters.

With a capacity of 300 ml/hour, this can last up to 16 hours depending on the rate of evaporation. The amount of water can be read from the transparent strip in the tank. Bay below. The water inlet is larger than the Royal Clima Sanremo, but it is still inconvenient to add water. 3 operating modes. The noise level in the maximum mode does not exceed 36 dB. Mechanical control, by means of a rotary switch. The price is 2,000 rubles.

Budget humidifier for those who are forced to save money. Judging by user reviews, a considerable percentage of marriage, so only 6th place. But we recommend looking at more expensive competitors or VITEK VT-2347 if the humidity level in the room is not critically low.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Humidifier

Fifth place goes to Xiaomi Mi Smart Humidifier. Inconspicuous from a design point of view, the device is made in the classical form of a cylinder, with dimensions of 190 x 190 x 324 mm. It consists of two parts — a water tank made of metal enriched with silver ions, and a working platform based on a ceramic core, a guide bell and a turbofan. Productivity — 300 ml / h, the capacity of the four-liter tank is enough for 13 hours. Suitable for rooms from 25 to 35 m². Noise level — from 32 to 38 dB, it depends on the mode.

The control is similar to the competitors above and is implemented by a rotary switch, but unlike them, it is a 4-position. The fourth mode is responsible for automatically maintaining the set humidity level — a hygrometer is built into the device. To control the humidity level and set the desired value, use the application on the smartphone. You can adjust from 40 to 70%. The device will turn off when the set parameter is reached and turn on if the humidity level drops below. It is worth considering that the error in this case will be considerable, since the device measures the humidity in its immediate vicinity. In the application, you can set a timer, see the current level of humidity in the room. It is easier to do this if you know Chinese or English — the application is not Russified and works with the humidifier only when you set geolocation on your smartphone. The price is 4,000 rubles.

A good unit for humidifying the air in a small room. Compared to competitors, it has additional functionality that can be used by installing the application on a smartphone. If you like a minimalist design without any frills, lights and touch controls, feel free to choose this model. 89% of Yandex users. The market recommends it. If backlighting and additional functionality are important besides performance, consider the Ballu UHB-990.

Philips HU2718/10

Fourth place goes to Philips HU2718/10. Attracts attention with design. It is shaped like a turbine. The main body color is black, in the center there is a copper-colored insert. The mesh of the upper part of the same shade, through which humidified air exits. The volume of the water tank is only 2 liters, however, the consumption is low — only 200 ml / hour. This does not affect the quality of moisture. The recommended area of ​​the room is up to 32 m². The technical feature of the device is based on the natural process of water evaporation..

The manufacturer called its technology NanoCloud. The water tank is at the bottom. As it evaporates, it comes under the influence of the built-in fan, which supplies humidified air to the upper part of the device, distributing it over the entire area of ​​​​the evaporator — this way humidified air spreads over a large area. Built-in hygrometer readings are more accurate than competitors, which means that the automatic mode works more correctly. The control panel is also located there — 4 buttons: on / off, adjusting the evaporation power, fan speed, setting the timer. There is a display, it displays the settings and the current level of humidity in the room. Additionally, night fan operation is provided. at minimum speed with low noise level. The price is 10,000 rubles.

5 stars from 100% of Yandex users. Market, who left their reviews. There is nothing revolutionary in the device. Our parents humidified the air in a similar way by placing a container with cold water in front of the fan. The manufacturer simply hid it all in a beautiful case. In view of this, the price of the model seems too high to us, so 4th place and advice to wait until it gets cheaper: usually a year after the start of sales, any humidifier loses up to 20% in price, and if an older model comes out with additional functionality, then up to 50%.

Boneco W200

Top three opens Boneco W200. Swiss-made humidifier with humidifier and air washer functions: increases the level of humidity, purifies the air from dust, allergens, etc. Advantage over ultrasonic humidifier — no water quality requirements (you can use regular tap water). The principle of operation is as follows: air from the room is pumped into the apparatus from above, passes through a sponge filter, put on a drum, the lower part of which is placed in a water tank, where all dust and harmful particles are washed off, and the purified moisture, evaporating from the sponge, returns to the room. In terms of humidification, these devices are less efficient than ultrasonic humidifiers, but they make the air cleaner. Additionally, an ionizing silver ISS rod is provided for this.

There are only 2 modes of operation — normal and quiet (night). They differ only in the speed of rotation of the drum. The modes are switched by a rotary control on the case. The case itself is made of plastic in the form of a classic parallelepiped. Let’s go through the features: designed for room humidification up to 50 m², productivity — 350 ml / hour, a 4.5-liter water tank is enough for 13 hours of continuous operation, the noise level is from 27 to 37 dB. Boneco W200 is noticeably larger than its competitors in the ranking, but smaller than most air washers on the market. Cena — 19,000 rubles.

A simple, reliable device for cleaning and humidifying the air, especially for regions with poor ecology or for apartments located near the carriageway with an increased amount of dust and allergens in the air. At the same time, you should not expect a miracle of moisturizing. Ultrasonic devices cope with this task better and faster, and they are several times cheaper.

Ballu UHB-990

In second place is Ballu UHB-990. Sales of the model started in 2017. After 4 years, she does not have many worthy competitors. It differs from its competitors in the ranking by advanced functionality. It can supply both cold and hot steam, performing the functions of humidification and heating at the same time. The nozzle rotates 360 degrees for even distribution of moisture. Another model is equipped with an ionizing filter and a tray for aroma oils: it cleans the supplied steam from impurities and fills the room with fragrance. Among the functions are a timer, adjustment of the degree of humidification, maintenance of a given level of humidity, shutdown in the absence of water. Control — touch panel and remote control.

To help the user — LED-display, it displays the current operating mode. The case is made of white plastic in the form of a slightly beveled parallelepiped. The humidifier is designed for a room up to 40 m², productivity — 350 ml / hour, 5.8 liter water tank is enough for 16 hours of continuous operation. The maximum noise level during operation does not exceed 38 dB. The water container is illuminated from the inside with a blue LED during operation. The solution is controversial: it can, for example, serve as a night light, but not all users like bright light. The price is 7,200 rubles.

One of the most popular humidifiers in the Russian Federation, not without flaws. Before giving preference to it, it is important to understand whether you will use the hot steam function. If yes, feel free to take it, if not, pay attention to the Electrolux EHU-5015D.

Electrolux EHU-5015D

Gold picks up humidifier Electrolux EHU-5015D. The model belongs to the mid-price segment. The price is 5,500 rubles. Among the features:

• Design (shape of a rounded parallelepiped, black color). Winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2019. There is an analogue in white (EHU-5010D).
• Function button. The first press activates the automatic mode of operation, when the device itself maintains optimal humidity by adjusting the steam supply, the next 3 presses — 3 power modes from minimum to maximum, and the fifth press — turns off the device, a long press turns on / off the backlight.
• Housing illuminationwherein each color corresponds to a certain level of humidity in the room. For example, purple tells the user that the humidity level is below 70%. Once this threshold is exceeded, the backlight will change to blue. Thus, the owner can determine the need to change the evaporation intensity mode or turn off the device. Let’s make a reservation that color indication change has errors, since the built-in hygrometer analyzes the level of humidity near the device, which does not always match the level of humidity in the entire room.

Designed for rooms up to 30 m², productivity — 300 ml / hour, a four-liter water tank is enough for 12 hours of continuous operation. The humidifier is easy to use thanks to the top water inlet. There are carbon filters for preliminary water purification — white deposits on furniture and floors are minimal. There is a container for aroma oils.

98% of Yandex users. Market recommend the model for purchase, and we join, considering this humidifier the best in terms of price-quality ratio. Moisturizes well, easy to use and maintain, equipped with informative backlight. One-button control is a matter of habit, in our opinion, it is more convenient than not. Errors in determining the level of humidity — a problem with all humidifiers with an internal hygrometerbut the remote control, like the timer, is really not enough, but let’s take into account that the device is not from the premium segment.

In this price range, smartphone control boasts Xiaomi Mi Smart Humidifier, and even then not without dancing with tambourines — installation of China geolocation, non-Russian application. And without the latter, the control of the device is completely reduced only to the choice of evaporation power. Ballu UHB-990, which can be given commands using the remote control, costs almost 2,000 rubles more, and of the special functions it can only offer hot steam, which is useless for most users. The claims to the design features are justified, the manufacturer could provide latches. On the other hand, any mount eventually becomes unusable due to physical influences, so its absence can be considered as a plus in the treasury of the reliability of the model.

In the budget segment, there are worthy models that can quickly humidify the air in small rooms. For example, Xiaomi Mi Smart Humidifier. However, if it is possible to overpay a few thousand, it is better to choose Ballu or Electrolux. Pleasant bonuses here will be the presence of a timer, a built-in hygrometer and other additional functionality. But buying top models is not always justified: most often you pay exclusively for the brand. Air washers, such as the Boneco W200, should be chosen more for cleaning than for humidifying the air, but if you live in conditions of increased dustiness and with a relatively low humidity index, you can buy such a device. If the humidity is too low, and there is not so much dust, the overpayment by several times is not justified.
