COMPARISON TEST - 7 humidifiers

While the temperatures outside continue to drop, we turn up the radiators at home - almost as a reflex; after all, we want to be wonderfully warm at home. But the constant heating causes the air to lose a considerable amount of relative humidity, and unfortunately this quickly becomes noticeable on the mucous membranes: They dry out more and more. This in turn makes it very easy for most germs - especially bacteria and viruses - to settle in the mucous membranes and multiply. However, this problem can be easily remedied: With a modern humidifier. These continuously evaporate, vaporise or mist water and raise the relative humidity to more pleasant levels. Some of them can also be filled with essential oils to enrich the air with lovely fragrances. ETM TESTMAGAZIN tested seven current humidifiers.
