How to Choose a Humidifier

Add some moisture to a dry bedroom or refresh your whole home with Ace's selection of portable humidifiers. Start by exploring a few common questions to find the right fit for your home:

What Size is the Room You Will be Humidifying? 

Humidifiers are rated according to square footage to give you an easy indication of how much space they can humidify. Find small humidifiers for compact spaces like bedrooms or browse larger options with whole-home designs. 

Do You Have Kids or Pets?

Make sure your humidifying set-up is extra safe with a model that doesn't have a heating element. Cool mist, evaporative and ultrasonic humidifiers are popular for people with young children or pets who don't want to worry about the risks of warm appliances. 

Types of Humidifiers

Reduce allergens, help alleviate cold symptoms and make your space more comfortable with a wide variety of humidifiers at Ace. Shop different types to find the humidifier for your needs:

Cool Mist Humidifier 

A great choice for warm weather, cool mist humidifiers release cool vapor to moisturize the air. The water also passes through a filter that helps remove impurities before they can enter the air. Cool mist humidifiers are one of the most popular and versatile types, with plenty of affordable designs on the market. 

Warm MistHumidifier 

Also known as steam humidifiers or steam vaporizers, warm mist models use a heated water source. This makes them one of the quietest options on the market and helps to reduce allergens by sterilizing the water before release. However, they are slightly less energy efficient than cool mist designs. Warm mist humidifiers can accumulate mineral deposits that can make cleaning a bit more challenging.

Ultrasonic Humidifier 

When you're looking for a super quiet and energy-efficient humidifier, ultrasonic delivers everything you need. They use a vibrating metallic interior to release water droplets, moisturizing your space without a fan or heater. It's great for those with asthma or allergies, but it can risk bacterial contamination so it should be cleaned regularly.

Manual and Digital Humidifier Features

Take your air quality to the next level with humidifiers that include comfort and convenience features like: 

• Multiple fan settings to get your desired speed 
• Inhalant-friendly models for aromatherapy or relief from flu-like symptoms 
• Digital displays for easy humidity adjustment 
• A “check filter” indicator for convenient replacements 
• Automatic shutoff for increased safety 
• Antimicrobial design for greater cleanliness 

Can You Use Tap Water in a Humidifier?

Always check your manufacturer’s instructions for how to properly operate your selected humidifier. However, it is generally not recommended to use tap water due to an increased chance for the growth of mold or bacteria. Instead, using filtered water from a water pitcher can help you operate your humidifier more effectively. Replacing your humidifier filters regularly can offer even more filtration.
