Caution still not to fall into the opposite extreme and abuse of too high humidity (or so, do it very occasionally)! A humidity beyond 60% (especially in summer) can promote the development of harmful mold to health.
The humidifier Tao Tronics is quite large (it is not a criticism), it has a capacity of 4 liters which represents about 15 hours of continuous use mode.
Important precaution: It is important to regularly change the water and clean the tray (using the brush supplied) to prevent proliferation of microorganisms due to standing water.
This is not necessarily regular, but the filling of the humidifier Tao Tronics is through the bottom of the tank. Good idea there are two handles, one above the other below, allowing a good grip of the tank. When repositions on its base, care should be taken invert not pour water ...
The humidifier is equipped with an integrated hygrometer for measuring the humidity of the room and can adjust cold steam production (40% to 95%).
Two functions (which can be combined) are available:
1 - Steam air humidification Cold ultrasound. -> Increase the humidity level
MIST button to deliver steam flow 3 levels: low, medium, high
You can set it to automatically use: HUMIDISTAT via the button, it indicates which humidity level is desired in the room where the humidifier is installed and that's it! The humidifier will automatically stop when the threshold is reached and starts again automatically as soon as it falls below that threshold.
Or in timer mode: using the TIMER is programmed between 1H and 24H, the humidifier will stop automatically at the end of time (unlike the previous mode, it will not restart if the threshold is not reached ).
2 - Air Ionizer. -> Clear the air and negative ions charge
The first press on ANION / SLEEP button, allows the activation of this function (a second press deactivates and goes into the SLEEP mode switching the humidifier mode the minimum level of steam ').
When one stops the humidifier manually or automatically (timer or humidity value reached), the (light) fan noise will be present for 5 minutes after extinction. Then he will run leaving room in total silence.
The use of night in a room is perfectly possible, although there is a slight noise at the fan, but this should not unduly disturbing the sleepers (or you have an ultra sensitive hearing!). As against the little blue light, it remains active which may pose some problems.
Positives ...
- Large capacity: 4 liters
- Easy to use, everything is (almost) automatic
- A programmable timer from 1H to 24H
... And those a little less ...
- A very slight noise fan and a small blue light that persists (even at night).
- Some imperfections in the translation of documentation
- No possibility of disseminating essential oils
