Well that only works if the kids except that it moistens the kids enough if the air is very dry. If you increase the humidification 3/4 or Max, the humidifier wets the floor and things in the room, the water beads from the exit of the mist in the morning and mop dangerous for electrical appliances. Not recommended if you have to use it to maximum, prefer Vapolux less silent but stops automatically as soon as the humidification level is reached.
