About fans, heaters & air
Fans, heaters and air devices include humidifiers, aroma diffusers, handheld mist fans and a dehumidifier.
Humidifiers come in several sizes, from a 180 ml mini USB model to a 3 L dual mist unit, with fun shapes like a jellyfish ring diffuser and a volcano diffuser. Cooling picks include a rechargeable handheld fan with five speeds and a 600 ml mist fan. There is also a butane camping heater and a small thermoelectric dehumidifier with a timer.
Choose by room size and use. A small humidifier suits a bedside table or car, while a 3 L tank covers a bedroom for longer. Aroma diffusers use water and a few drops of oil. Clean water tanks often. Handheld fans help on commutes and trips, and a camping heater needs careful ventilation.
Fans, Heaters & Air questions
How often should I clean a humidifier?
Empty and rinse the tank every day or two, and clean it more deeply each week as the maker advises. Standing water can grow germs, so refill with fresh water.
Can I put essential oil in a humidifier?
Only if the listing says so. Many humidifiers need plain water, while aroma diffusers are made for a few drops of oil. Check the instructions to avoid damage.
What does a mist fan do?
It sprays a fine mist of water while the fan blows, which feels cooler on hot days. Fill the 600 ml tank and use it outdoors or at a desk.
