hey guys it's taylor here with another video now humidifiers are wonderful in that they may help
you improve the air quality in your home by adding moisture to the air this can be great for people
with allergies or asthma as well as for anyone who wants to improve the overall air quality
in their home that said humidifiers do have the challenge of being a bit of a chore to maintain
mold and mildew can grow in them over time if they're not kept clean and that can cause all
sorts of respiratory problems also having too much humidity in the air can actually lead to problems
like condensation on your walls and windows so with that in mind i've put together a list
of the three best humidifiers that not only solve these challenges but also provide great value for
the money depending on your particular situation you can see which one will be the best option for
you and as always you can check out pricing for any of these products in the description below
and if i'm able to get any discounts or coupon codes i'll include those for you as well so first
up is our pick for the best overall humidifier and that's going to be the levoit classic 300s
ultrasonic smart humidifier if you're looking for a simple quiet and effective humidifier that's
much easier to clean compared to most other humidifier models then this is the one to get
now let me start off by saying that the reason why we chose this humidifier as our best overall pick
is that it does one crucial thing really well and that is to achieve a target humidity and
then maintain it there this is all thanks to its built-in humidistat and smart feature that allows
it to automatically adjust the output based on the current humidity in the room so whether using it
in a small room or a large room this humidifier will be able to maintain that perfect level of
humidity for you most humidifiers don't have the ability to regulate the amount of moisture they're
putting out so you'll have to manually adjust it every so often but with this levoit humidifier
you can set it to your desired humidity level and it will maintain that target really well
another thing that we really liked about this levoit humidifier is that it has a large water
tank that holds up to six liters of water and that's enough to run for over 60 hours
so if you're using it in a small room you could potentially get away with only having to fill it
up once every couple of weeks moving on to the design of the lavoid humidifier it has a really
sleek and modern look that will fit in well with just about any home decor and it's also really
easy to use with its touch control panel that lets you adjust the settings and outputs with just
a few taps now as i mentioned before one of the things that really set this humidifier apart from
the competition is how easy it is to clean most humidifiers have all sorts of nooks and crannies
for mold and mildew to hide in but the levoit has a smooth surface with no hidden crevices
so you can just wipe it down with a damp cloth and that's really all it takes to keep it clean
we also love that this humidifier is really quiet much quieter than most of the models on the market
so if you're using it in a bedroom you probably won't even notice that it's running
if we have to be picky about the only downside to this levoit humidifier
is that it does have the tendency to leave a trail of fine mineral dust on the floor and furniture
this is a common problem with ultrasonic humidifiers especially if you use hard water or
well water that said this is a minor issue and can be easily avoided by using distilled or possibly
filtered water so all in all the levoit classic 300s is the best humidifier for most people
if you're looking for an easy to use and easy to clean humidifier that does an excellent job
at maintaining a target humidity then this is the one to get next up is our pick for the best
low maintenance humidifier and that's going to be the venta lw15 now even though it costs more than
twice as much as the levoit humidifier the venta is still a great value considering how little
maintenance it requires if you want an ultrasonic humidifier that doesn't require any filter changes
and less frequent maintenance then you will find it well worth the additional cost the
venta lw15 is what's known as a demineralization humidifier and that means that it has a built-in
demineralization cartridge that filters out all the mineral deposits from the water before
it gets turned into mist this not only makes the humidifier much easier to maintain but it
also helps to prevent that annoying white dust from building up on your floor and furniture
now according to the manufacturer you only need to rinse and clean this humidifier once every
two weeks also you only need to deep clean the unit once every 6 months this makes the venta lw
15 the best humidifier we've seen in terms of ease of maintenance in terms of operation the
venta lw 15 is very quiet and efficient it can cover an area of up to 300 square feet and it
has a water tank capacity of 1.4 gallons which is enough for about 24 hours of continuous use
this means that you only need to refill the water tank once per day which is very convenient
of course no humidifier is perfect and there are a few downsides to this humidifier that
we should mention first of all the price is a bit on the high side and it does cost more than
all the humidifiers on this list but when you consider the fact that you don't need to buy
any replacement filters and you only need to do minimal maintenance that price is very reasonable
the other downside to this humidifier is that it's not designed for use with essential oils
so if you're looking for an aromatherapy diffuser as well then you'll need to get a separate unit
so overall the venta lw 15 is the best low maintenance humidifier that we found on the market
if you're willing to pay more for convenience and ease of use then this humidifier is for you
and last but not least is our pick for the best budget humidifier which is the levoit classic
200. now levoit is known for making some of the most reliable humidifiers on the market
and the same is true for this budget model for under 50 dollars you get a very well made and
reliable humidifier that works great and is easy to clean in terms of operation the levoit classic
200 can cover an area of up to 500 square feet which is pretty impressive for a budget humidifier
it also has a water tank capacity of 4 liters which is enough for about 40
hours of continuous use also the unit itself is very easy to use with a single button operation
and there's an automatic shut off safety feature that kicks in when the water level gets too low
we also love that the unit is very easy to clean the whole unit can be taken apart and cleaned with
ease which is not something that can be said for all humidifiers of course given the low price tag
the classic 200 lacks the smart features of its most expensive counterparts there's no humidity
so there is a risk of over humidifying if you're not monitoring the unit closely so all in all
the levoit classic 200 is an excellent budget humidifier that's well made reliable and easy to
use if you're looking for a quality humidifier on a budget then this one is for you so that wraps up
