Dry indoor air can have a negative effect on everything from your breasts to your skin, and it's especially annoying in the winter. That's why many people turn to humidifiers: these simple devices help moisten the air around you, fight dryness and give you the relief you need. Amazon is currently running an amazing sale on the fan-favorite AquaOsis Cool Mist Humidifier, which you can get for 40% off.
This humidifier is very quiet, so you can even use it while you sleep.
Why is this a good offer?
At $30 this is the lowest price we've seen from AquaOasis in months At least they get a lot of use in the winter so it basically pays for itself.
Why do I need it?
Moisturizers can help your skin and sinuses a lot, says Dr. Purvi Parikh, an allergist with the Allergy and Asthma Network, told Yahoo Life. The dry air that often prevails in winter can dry out the respiratory system and skin, he notes. A humidifier that adds moisture to the air can be helpful.
A word of caution to keep in mind: It is important to clean your humidifier regularly. "Humidifiers have a tendency to build up mites and mold if not properly maintained," he says, adding that "mindful of cleanliness" is important, especially if you suffer from allergies.
How often should you wash? "Manufacturers recommend cleaning a humidifier weekly, but the Environmental Protection Agency recommends every three days," says Parikh. "I will often be next to allergy sufferers and asthmatics."
While some humidifiers make noise, the AquaOsis Cool Mist Humidifier operates silently. You should not hear any humming, hissing or hissing as this will keep the air moist.
The humidifier has several mist settings so you can find your ideal level: lower, for example, if you want a little more humidity every day, or higher if you struggle with heavy build-up. There is also a 360 degree rotating nozzle so you can direct the moisture in any direction you want.
The AquaOasis has set-and-forget facilities with automatic shut-off and a large 2.2 liter water tank that lasts for over 24 hours without refilling.
What reviewers say
This humidifier has an army of five-star fans: more than 66,000. “I have a rather large bedroom and I put it in the corner so that it spans the whole room,” said one happy customer. "I bought it because I suffer from allergies and in the winter, especially when it's hot, my throat is very dry and I cough all night. The humidifier helps keep my throat moist so I can sleep at night."
A Second Allergy "I can't believe how much this has helped. I've never owned a humidifier so I don't have much experience to compare, but I know I've noticed since using it. My allergy related issues Chronic to barely noticeable Take medication with eyes open.
Another fan loves how quiet this humidifier is. "This machine is totally cool!!!" They said, "It's easy to clean, easy to fill and requires no filters."
"We have a very dry house and when it's hot I can't breathe at night," said another shopper. “I have tried at least 15 different humidifiers over the past few years and this is by far the best! It's a great size - fits well on the bedside table. It's powerful - plus it puts out a very strong mist - a visible spray of about 1.5 meters of mist...which covers my queen size bed nicely. I like that you can point the nozzle where you want it."
Although this buyer said that it was "a bit awkward to fill the water tank upside down", the Aqua Oasis still deserves five stars. “It's so quiet (I can't even hear it). My husband and I use it in our bedroom and sleep at night. He says my snoring is too quiet (ham)."
With a battery life of 24 hours, this humidifier will allow you to travel many kilometers before you need to fill the tank.
