Best Baby Humidifiers for Nurseries

Humidifiers aren't often known as being the most durable of devices. They often require special cleaning and maintenance in order to keep them in top working order, and even then that will often not prevent them from not working properly, or even breaking. Many of the older humidifiers were often made of cheap plastic parts, which only exacerbated the problem, and many more recent models are still made on the cheap, which typically doesn't lend itself well to high durability. Finding a model that is very durable is often not easy, as most users don't know how durable it will be until they have used it at least several times.

With the TaoTronics TT-AH025 Cool Mist Humidifiers for Bedroom, you no longer have to worry about the durability of your humidifier. The unique PCBA Nano-film coating on the structure of this device prevents the destruction of the internal elements of the humidifier, prolonging the uninterrupted and serviceable operation of the device for many years. Furthermore, this model doesn't utilize too many moving or cheap-feeling parts, making it a model that should last you for a long time without the need for constant maintenance. This fact alone will help pay the price of the humidifier, costing you much less in the long term than it would with most other models.

While a humidifier is mainly valued for how much mist it makes, passing water through an antimicrobial filter and providing relief for dry skin, stuffy nose, and other respiratory ailments, you wouldn’t want this kind of device to look bad either. For an appliance that’s always on display, the design is important and that’s exactly why we like the stylish Pure Enrichment Ultrasonic. Its transparent-blue tank not only looks good but also gives you a full view of how much water is left thus letting you know the approximate runtime. 

In fact, the Pure Enrichment Ultrasonic is quite a utility as it also has very soft lighting and can practically be used as a bedside lamp. Of course, you can turn it off at any time but your kiddie will like the idea of napping with the dim light on. Speaking of utilities, we’d be remiss not to mention the automatic shut-off function, which is engaged once the water level gets too low for safe operation. Quite useful, really, since it’s tough to predict precisely how long the liquid will last if you tend to switch between the two speeds available to the user. 

Few devices can boast flawless design and so even the Pure Enrichment Ultrasonic has its Achilles heel. The water tank is refilled via rather a narrow opening, which means that you must have pretty steady hands or you’ll end up with a rag in your hands, wiping up the water that trickled past the tank. Still, that’s not such a big problem as you can simply use a funnel if necessary.

Due to their relatively low tank capacity, portable humidifiers will normally moisturize the air in the room for about several hours before all the water evaporates and you end up having to add some more. That said, there are tabletop appliances that feature a running time similar to some of the more high-capacity models. The baby humidifier from Crane is just that type of appliance.

Despite its 1-gallon tank capacity, this model can continuously run at maximum misting intensity for up to 24 hours, which is a truly impressive time for a compact humidifier. Moreover, if operated at a medium humidity level, it can last for 2-3 days without the need to add water, thus giving you some peace of mind about an optimal air humidity level in your baby’s room.

And when the water gets empty, the unit automatically turns it off. Hence, there is no need to constantly keep an eye on it. Another merit to the Crane humidifier, along with its long runtime, is a generous coverage area of about 500 square feet. It makes the appliance suitable for smaller nurseries, medium-sized dens, larger family bedrooms, and playrooms alike.

The Crane EE-5301CW is a cool mist humidifier with an ultrasonic technology. Dispersing fine cool water mist into the air, the appliance doesn’t heat up during the operation. So if your little one tends to crawl and scamper around, touching and grabbing everything, there is absolutely no risk of burns to small hands and fingers.

This model will become a real find for busy parents of twins or several small kids who can easily forget to check the water level in a humidifier every now and then. And with the appliance from Crane, they can rest assured, knowing that the nursery will stay duly humidified for several days.

Due air humidification is essential both for hot and for cold seasons. With a variety of whole-house humidification systems available, room-by-room air moisturizing still proves to be more convenient as well as energy, effort, and money-saving. So, if you follow this scenario and seek a good humidifier for some smaller areas like a nursery, playroom, home gym, den or a man cave, we strongly recommend turning your eyes to the TaoTronics TT-AH026 air humidifier.

In TaoTronics product range, they have a lot of air humidifiers and this is not the most feature-packed one. Yet, backed by great experience in indoor air humidification, they know everything about the air moisturizing technology. Hence, you can be sure you’ll get the best of it even in a simple model like this one under review.

The unit applies ultrasonic technology with high-frequency vibrating plates turning water into the fine clear mist that is dissipated via the nozzle on the top to saturate the air and level out the humidity rate in the room. The misting intensity is adjustable and you can vary it from min to max through multiple settings in the middle. A well-thought nozzle design allows precisely directing the cool mist flow, which is important if you place the unit next to the wall or in the corner.

A 0.47-gallon water tank is not the most capacious out there, yet, this water volume is enough to efficiently humidify the area of 220 sq.ft. within 8.5 hours. So, it’s a perfectly functional addition to maintain proper air moisture in the baby room, bedroom, or any other smaller premises.

The unit design is also very straightforward and minimalistic. Packed in a white or black all-plastic body, it reminds a drop by shape. There is no excessive controls, only a single dial knob. Yet, in its simplicity, the device looks very sleek and modern and will blend with any contemporary interior style.

One of the biggest problems with most humidifiers is that many of them are simply not very efficient with providing proper humidity to the air. With the way that many humidifiers work, much of the water that is vaporized will end up clumping together in larger water droplets, making them too heavy to be carried in the air. This results in the falling to the floor instead of hanging around in the air, which explains why many humidifiers often leave a trail of dampness on the ground in front of them. While a lot of water may end up in the air, there also tends to be just as much that just ends up on the floor.

The Levoit Dual 100 Humidifiers for Bedroom solves this problem in a unique way. The special Spiral Air-Duct Technology releases the smallest particles of water of less than 8um in size into the air, which contributes to the faster spread of water fog throughout the room in a short period of time, without unwanted fogging of windows or waterlogging of wooden floor coverings. This means that a much higher percentage of the water released into the air stays there instead of ending up on different surfaces, which in turn increases the effectiveness of the humidifier. Those who hate having to clean up the room after using a humidifier will certainly love how this model operates.
