What advantages (if any) are there to cool mist humidifiers versus warm mist ones and vice-versa?
Cool Mist Humidifiers use a filter to trap minerals and impurities and then a cool invisible mist evaporates into the air. They include evaporative humidifiers, impeller humidifiers, and ultrasonic humidifiers. Pros: • Easy to clean • More effective in larger areas • Cool mist is easier to breathe • Cool mist is more comfortable in warmer climates Cons: • Slightly noisier than warm mist units due to the fan noise (except the ultrasonic models) • Cool mist can feel slightly cool and clammy at certain room temperatures • Wicks in evaporative humidifiers can get dirty or develop mold.
