Cool Vs Warm Mist Humidifier
Cool Vs Warm Mist Humidifier
If you’re like me and suffer from allergies throughout the year, you know that it’s hard to find an effective treatment. Especially during the winter when you are exposed to dry air and allergens on a daily basis, it’s important to have a humidifier in your home. A humidifier helps add moisture into the air which helps keep your nose and sinuses clear. There are two types of humidifiers: cool mist and warm mist. I already own one of each type so here is my personal review of each one!
What Is A Humidifier?
Humidifiers are devices that add moisture to the air. This can help relieve symptoms of colds, allergies and asthma, as well as dry skin and chapped lips. They can also help with dry sinuses, throats and noses.
Warm Mist Humidifier vs Cool Mist Humidifier
If you’re looking for a humidifier, you may be wondering which one is right for you. There are many different models available on the market today and each one has its own benefits and drawbacks. In this article, we will be going over the differences between a warm mist humidifier and cool mist humidifier.
- Warm Mist Humidifiers vs Cool Mist Humidifiers: Pricing
Warm mist humidifiers are more expensive than cool mist humidifiers because they require more moving parts (compared to their counterparts). In order to create steam using an atomizing process, it requires electricity as well as heating elements. This results in higher production costs which get passed down to consumers by way of higher prices at retail stores like Walmart or Target. However, if budget isn’t an issue for you then there isn’t much incentive for choosing either type because both types work equally well when it comes to providing moisture into your home’s environment during cold winter months!
Which is Best?
If you have asthma or are allergic to dust mites, warm mist humidifiers are your best bet. The warm mist of a warm mist humidifier will kill off some of the bacteria that live in the air and cause respiratory problems. It also keeps dust from getting kicked up by fans, which can settle into furniture and other household items where it’s hard to clean out.
If you have small children or pets, cool mist humidifiers are better because they don’t heat up very much so they won’t burn little fingers or paws if touched accidentally when running.
If you prefer not to use electricity or want something more portable, a cool mist model may be right for you since it doesn’t need power like its heated counterpart does.

- Benefits of humidifiers:
- Reduce nasal congestion by adding moisture to the air.
- Relieve cough and sore throats from dry mucous membranes (the linings of the nose, mouth and throat).
- Relaxes muscles and joints due to increased water content in the air.
- How humidifiers work: Humidifiers add moisture back into rooms that are too dry. They do this by evaporating water into the air through either warm or cool mist technology. Warm mist models heat up water into steam which then turns into vapor as it comes out of vents in your machine’s tank. Cool mist machines don’t require any heating since they use fans to blow droplets directly at you when you turn them on!
- How do I choose? There are two types: warm mist and cool mist style units available here on Amazon (see below). Warm mist units are generally less expensive but don’t last as long because there’s more moving parts involved when heating up water before blowing it out into your room! Cool mists typically cost more upfront but usually save money over time since replacement filters aren’t required like with hot versions.”
