My Dry Room Problem

In my house, there is always two extremes in how it feels. Some days, it does feel sticky which is mostly during really humid days outside in the summer. On the other hand, winter is completely the opposite. It is almost always dry and I am always getting chapped lips. The reason for dehumidifiers has always been something I've known. The main reason was to get rid of air moisture, and I've also found use of it in rooms with laundry where I hang dry the clothes. I find it removes the humidity and dries everything faster. Anyways, I've been shown the warm mist humidifiers aisle of my local retail store as a solution to my problem with dry air in my rooms.

The basic premise is that it blows out a mist of steam in the air which basically adds moisture. It essentially has steam like you will find in a steam room or a sauna, but the quantity is much smaller. This is the main reason that some store workers will also call these humidifiers as a steam vaporizer. These two terms really can be interchanged as the person you are describing it will likely know either way what you are looking for. Now that I found a possible solution, the final thing was to test it out and see if it works.

Before I actually purchased a unit, I was told that the best room humidifier will depend on the size of my room and what types of features I am looking for. There is one gallon and even two gallon humidifiers on the market. My room was pretty small so the one gallon was plenty enough. The other feature for the warm mist one I ended up buying is that it had an auto shutoff capability. This just makes it easier for me to set my ideal humidity levels and the unit will do everything itself to keep it at that level.

I tested the ideal levels the manual had recommended, and then tried out some of my own to see the differences. After about a week of playing with it, I found that it worked in keeping the room in much better shape. The humidifier did its job and the room was not dry anymore.
