Comparison of 4 cost-effective humidifiers for comparison and recommendation~ Humidifier purchase_Original_Sina Public Test
Being in the northern autumn and winter is very dry. Especially in the heating season, humidifiers are basically indispensable. I have lived in the north since I was a child, and every autumn and winter, my throat is very uncomfortable. I often wake up with a burning pain, and when I wake up my nose is dry and bleeding. True air dryness is the kind of situation where drinking water doesn't help. No matter how much I drink, I end up with a dry mouth and a burning nose. When I grew up, I went to school in Wuhan. Under the humid climate, I have not even suffered from chronic pharyngitis for many years. My skin is moisturised every day, and it will not dry out. It can be seen that the impact of humidity on people is still very large.
As a very important household electrical appliance, humidifiers, like air conditioners, water purifiers, and air purifiers, are important electrical appliances to improve the living environment of the home. So what does a humidifier do?
A humidifier can maintain the daily moist air in the room, reduce indoor dust, protect the respiratory system, and reduce dry mouth. It also relieves dry skin. A humidifier with aromatherapy can also improve indoor smell and soothe your mood. Generally speaking, in daily life, the indoor ambient temperature is 18~23°C and the humidity is about 45~65%, which is a more suitable range. People are more comfortable in this situation.
1. The humidification speed of the humidifier: the humidification volume of the humidifier is a very important indicator, which represents the strength of the humidification ability of the humidifier. Generally speaking, if you want to humidify a space of 15~25 square meters to about 50%~60%, a humidifier with a maximum humidification capacity of about 300ml/h is required. If the maximum humidification speed is small and the humidification speed is too slow, it will be difficult to increase the humidity above the target value of 55%.
2. Noise value of humidifier: Generally speaking, the noise value of ultrasonic humidifier is not very high, basically below 40dB. Normal noise control below 35dB will basically not affect daily rest. However, it should be noted that the design of the air duct, the poorly designed humidifier, and some will have a snoring sound caused by the water vapor driven by the water.
3. The size of the water tank of the humidifier: The size of the water tank of the humidifier mainly affects the frequency of water changes and the battery life of the humidifier. Many full-featured humidifiers have timer functions. Take the colorful Dingdang humidifier as an example, the water tank capacity is 5L, and the timing range is 1~12 hours. Its humidification rate is 300ml/h. Therefore, the water consumption in 12 hours is about 3.6L. 5L can support a whole timing cycle, and there is a margin.
4. The convenience of the humidifier:
Water adding methods: mainly include adding water from the bottom, adding water to the top, adding water to the split water tank and so on. It is more convenient to add water, just pour the water directly from the top. It is more convenient to add water on the split type of the water tank, just remove the water tank directly, and then go to pick up the water. No need to touch other containers, more convenient. The early humidifiers also have products that add water under the water, which have many steps and are more troublesome.
Cleaning of the humidifier: The humidifier with a large opening is easier to clean the internal structure, and the split type is easier to clean comprehensively. Since a humidifier is an electrical appliance that requires great attention to hygiene, it is necessary to choose a product that can be thoroughly cleaned. This will not cause secondary pollution.
Control function: Humidifiers with simple functions often only have high, medium and low gear options. And feature-rich humidifiers often have digital display, humidity adjustment, timing, constant humidity mode, automatic shutdown and other functions. A humidifier with simple functions cannot even display the current humidity value. It is recommended that when starting a humidifier, choose a product with a relatively complete range of commonly used functions.
5. The price range of the humidifier:
The price range of humidifiers covers a wide range. The humidifiers of 200 yuan are more mainstream and cost-effective, mainly ultrasonic humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers atomize water into ultra-fine particles by high-frequency oscillation or generate water mist by heating, and send water vapor out through a fan. There will be white mist at the outlet of the humidifier. Due to the heavy water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic wave, it is recommended to choose a product with a higher mist spray. Only the product with a higher mist spray can fully diffuse in the air and improve the coverage of the ultrasonic humidifier. area. Ultrasonic humidifiers without water purification filters should add pure water, and humidifiers with water purification filters can choose to use tap water and pure water. The ultrasonic humidifier basically has no other consumables except the filter consumables, which is very economical. In addition, there will be a fog-free humidifier that simulates natural evaporation for more than 600 yuan. This humidifier will have an evaporation filter that absorbs water, and then the strong wind of the fan will let the air pass through the evaporation filter to take away the water vapor. This humidifier has a wide range of humidification, no fog, and relatively uniform humidification, but the common problem is that it is noisy. It should be noted that the follow-up consumables need to be replaced regularly, and there are certain later maintenance costs.
1. Add pure water or tap water?
For humidifiers with water filter cartridges, both pure water and tap water can be selected. However, if you have a water purifier at home, it is more recommended to add pure water, which can also save the life of the filter element. In addition, if there is no ultrasonic humidifier with water purification filter element, be sure to choose pure water for addition, because tap water contains a lot of chlorine atoms, calcium ions, magnesium ions and microorganisms, which will float in the air when atomized by the humidifier. , then directly into our respiratory tract, causing certain damage to our body, but also easy to block the humidifier and reduce the service life.
2. Cleaning of the humidifier?
As an electrical appliance with very high hygiene requirements, the humidifier must be cleaned daily. It is not necessary to pour out the water and change the water for humidification for a long time. If there is limescale, remove the limescale regularly. Humidifiers usually come with a small brush or detergent to remove limescale. Clean it after soaking.
3. What are the precautions for humidifiers?
The humidifier must pay attention to the addition of pure water or tap water, and must not add other substances to the water. In particular, substances such as disinfectants. In South Korea, there has been a "Korean humidifier "killing" incident" in which disinfectant was added to humidifiers. The cause was pneumonia caused by adding disinfectant to humidifiers. Therefore, it must be noted that only pure water or tap water can be added to the humidifier. Some humidifiers with aromatherapy function will have a special addition bin for adding aromatherapy. When the humidity of the humidifier is sprayed, it will bring out the smell of aromatherapy by the way. The aromatherapy is not atomized by the evaporator, and this design can ensure the safety of use.
4. Which groups and environments are not suitable for using humidifiers?
Humidifiers are not recommended for arthritis and diabetic users. The room where the humidifier is used also needs to be ventilated frequently. If the humidity is too high, the room is also prone to moisture and mold growth. If there is something indoors that needs to be stored dry, special attention is also required.
The four humidifiers introduced today are Yadu Ultrasonic Humidifier SC-S040, Feike Humidifier FH9213, Colorful Ding Degerming Humidifier JQ01, and Mijia Smart Humidifier. These four humidifiers are all cost-effective models. Promotional prices are basically within 300. However, let's take a look at how they actually perform!

This colorful jingle smart upper water humidifier JQ01 can be said to be very versatile at this price. The appearance is simple and versatile, and the five function keys under the electronic display can easily meet our daily humidification needs, and the operation is simple. Under the double sterilization protection of silver ions and ultraviolet rays, the released water mist is healthier and safer. Because the filter element is a water purification filter element specially designed for tap water, it has the function of triple purification, which can purify the water very well. Therefore, unlike other humidifiers, tap water can be added directly. In addition, there is an independent aromatherapy box, which can be used as both a humidifier and an aromatherapy machine. While maintaining a low price, it is also equipped with a very complete set of functions, which is very cost-effective.

Yadu, Feike, Mijia, these three are cylindrical designs. The colorful jingle is designed as a cuboid. In appearance, Yadu adopts a transparent shell design, and Feike is a matcha green shell design. Colorful Jingdang and Mijia are designed in white. Among them, Yadu and Feike take the short and fat route, Mijia takes the thin and tall route, and the colorful water tank is the largest among these models. In addition, a digital display screen and touch buttons need to be added on the front, so it is a cuboid. layout design.
Yadu Ultrasonic Humidifier SC-S040: Size 200X200X280mm Flyco Humidifier FH9213: Size 210X210X290mm Colorful Dingdang Smart Water Addition Humidifier JQ01: Size 305X180X282mm Mijia Smart Humidifier: Size 190X190X324mm
Let's take a look at the structure of the four humidifiers.
Yadu Ultrasonic Humidifier SC-S040: Integrated main unit of chassis water tank + ceramic adsorption water purification filter element + water cover on single air outlet Feike humidifier FH9213: integrated main unit of chassis water tank + air duct + water body cover on single air outlet Colorful Dingdang intelligent water-filling humidifier JQ01: 5L split water tank (including filter cotton + ceramic water filter) + main chassis (including UV sterilization / digital display screen / touch button) + double air outlet 360 ° angle adjustable upper cover Home Smart Humidifier: 4L split water tank (single air outlet angle is not adjustable) + host chassis + upper cover
A larger tank can lead to better battery life. To reduce the number of water additions, let's compare the capacity of these four water tanks. The colorful jingle has a capacity of 5L, which is the largest of these models. The 4L of Feike and Mijia are also good. Although Yadu has a 4L water tank, you need to refer to the maximum water filling scale, and the available range is about 2.5L.
Water tank capacity: Yadu (4L, usable capacity 2.5L) < Feike 4L = Mijia 4L < Colorful Jingdang 5L
Both Yadu and Qicai Dingdang have water quality filters, so Yadu and Qicai Dingdang can add tap water or purified water. Feike and Mijia do not have separate water quality filters, so pure water needs to be added. These machines are all machines that add water, and it is more convenient to add water. The main difference is the split and one-piece designs.
Water tank structure: Yadu, Feike = water tank chassis integrated structure. Colorful jingle, Mijia = split water tank structure. The colorful jingle water tank has a handle, while the Mijia water tank does not have a handle.
Differences when adding water to different water tank structures: On the premise that the water-added humidifiers are the same, the split-type humidifiers are relatively more convenient to add water. Put the water tank under the faucet of the water purifier (you can add tap water if there is a water quality filter element). The one-piece whole is a bit big when you add water.
There are two ways to add water to the integrated humidifier with water: 1. Use other water-receiving containers to receive water, and then pour the water into the water tank. 2. Hold the main unit to the faucet/water purifier faucet to collect water.
There are two ways to add water to a split-type humidifier: 1. Use other water-receiving containers to receive water, and then add water to the water tank. 2. Carry the water tank to the bottom of the faucet/water purifier faucet to receive water.
Yadu and Colorful Dingdang have water filtration devices. The triple filtration system of the humidifier can purify the water well, the filter can intercept large particles; the ionic membrane can prevent the generation of scale; the silver ion antibacterial ball can carry out antibacterial purification of the water quality. Even if tap water is added, the water mist released is healthy and safe under the layers of filter elements.
Feike and Mijia do not have water filtration devices. A humidifier with a filter device adds a second filter to the water source to filter out bacteria and other impurities and maintain the purity of the water. Let the mist come out without other impurities. If there is no humidifier with water filter device, you need to add pure water and change the water frequently, so as to maintain healthy use.
Yadu's filter device is 200 ceramic adsorption particles, which can absorb impurities in water. Ceramic particles need to be removed and cleaned once every 1-2 weeks.
The filter device of Colorful Dingdang is a water filter cotton + ceramic adsorption particles, which play the role of filtering water quality.
Feike and Mijia do not have water purification filters, so you need to pay attention to adding pure water.
The oscillating evaporators of several humidifiers are located at the bottom. Among them, Yadu and Feike are one-piece designs, while Qicai Dingdang and Mijia are separate designs. It can be seen that there are buoys for judging the water level in the equipment of Colorful Jingdang and Mijia. Through the floating and falling of this buoy, it can be judged whether it is in a water shortage state. If the water tank is short of water, this device can stop humidification and stop the oscillating evaporation device from working. In addition, there is also a UV lamp in the chassis of the colorful jingle, which can purify the water quality, sterilize and disinfect from the source, and add a layer of protection to the safety of water.
The design of the air duct has a certain influence on the intensity of the mist discharged from the humidifier. The smoother the air duct, the better the strength of the exhausted mist can be maintained, and the higher the mist rises. The more conducive to large-scale diffusion. If the mist is too short, it is easy to fall back to the table and wet the table. The specific smoke state, we will compare it when we actually test it.
The air duct of Yadu is located on the side, and then leads to the center of the humidifier through the smoke design above the filter element.
Flyco's air duct has a unique air duct accessory that exports the steam to the center above the humidifier.
The air duct of the colorful jingle is designed to be straight up and down. After coming out of the evaporator, it is discharged directly down the chimney of the water tank without turning in the middle.
The air duct of Mijia is designed with an inclined plane. After coming out of the evaporator, it is concentrated to the side and then discharged together.
As can be seen from this comparison chart, Yadu, Feike, and Mijia are designed to be on the ground. The higher feet of the Qicai Jingdang humidifier can stabilize the body, and the higher feet can keep the core electrical components away from the desktop. After all, a humidifier is an electrical appliance that uses water. When adding water, or when the mist falls, the desktop may also be wet, or it may be wet. Elevating the feet and elevating the machine helps keep the electronics out of the wet environment.
The final shape and height of the mist mainly depend on the humidification speed and the structure of the air duct and air outlet. Humidification volume parameters: Yadu 170ml/h, Feike 250ml/h, Colorful Dingdang 300ml/h, Mijia 300ml/h. So so much fog can be fully diffused in the air. It depends on the performance of the air ducts and vents. We can see that Yadu and Feike are designed with a single air outlet, and the air outlet can be rotated 360 degrees, which means that the direction of the mist column can be adjusted at will. The colorful jingle is a 360° adjustable design with dual air vents, which can be rotated at will, and the coverage of the dual air vents is also larger. Mijia's is a single-vent non-adjustable angle design.
Add water to the tank. It can be seen that Yadu has a maximum scale limit and cannot exceed the maximum water level. The Flyco side water tank is hidden inside. Colorful Jingdang and Mijia are both split water tank designs. The colorful jingle has a handle for easy carrying. This one from the Mi family needs to be carried away.
Yadu and Feike humidifiers have only one button and three gears. Press once to switch to one gear, and press 4 times to close.
The colorful jingle humidifier has 5 buttons, which correspond to the UV sterilization switch, the adjustment of the mist output, the switch, the timing, and the constant humidity mode. Intelligent constant humidity can keep the air humidity in our room in a more comfortable state. When the set humidity value is consistent with the air humidity, the humidifier will suspend humidification, so there is no need to worry about excessive humidification. There is an LED digital display screen in the center, which can display the current indoor air humidity and the adjustment of various parameters of the humidifier.
The Mijia humidifier is a knob with three gears adjustable, and the fourth gear is the constant humidity mode.
Let's turn it on at the maximum gear and take a look at the state of fog in the actual operation of several humidifiers. It can be seen that Yadu has the smallest mist output. On the one hand, the humidification speed of 170ml/h is relatively slow, and on the other hand, the air duct is relatively tortuous. The amount of fog produced by Feike is slightly more than that of Dou, and the spray of the fog column is also higher. The humidification speed of Feike is 250ml/h, but the air duct is more tortuous and the fog is not thick. The colorful jingle here is a 360° adjustable dual mist outlet, and the humidification speed is 300ml/h. It can be seen that the height of the spray is very high. In addition, the amount of mist is very large, and the mist that comes out is also very thick, covering a large area. , the humidification efficiency is high. Mijia's humidifier itself is relatively high, so the air column is also relatively high, and the amount of air column is more than that of Du and Feike, but because the air outlet is designed with an unadjustable angle, the coverage area is narrow.
Overall comparison, if the pursuit of the ultimate cost-effective, Feike this 99 yuan is relatively good, can meet the basic needs, but the function is relatively basic, and there is no water filter. If the function is rich, it is recommended to start with colorful jingle. In this price range, the configuration of colorful jingdang JQ01 is very high. It can be said that in addition to APP control, other aspects of the configuration have achieved a very high level in this price range. In addition to the water quality filter, there are silver ion bacteriostasis and UV lamp sterilization, and the safety is better. If there is a Mijia ecology at home, you can consider starting the Mijia smart model, but it is a pity that the Mijia smart model is not equipped with a water quality filter element, and it needs to use pure water, which will cost more in the long run. The impressive thing about Yadu is that a lot of ceramic particles are added for water purification, but the humidification speed is relatively slow and the overall cost performance is relatively low.
The above is the humidifier purchase knowledge sorted out for everyone, as well as the actual use comparison of the four humidifiers. To alleviate the dry environment at home, I hope it will be helpful for everyone to choose a humidifier. Humidifiers in this price range are relatively good value for money. In order to achieve a better humidification effect, the first priority is to consider the humidification speed. In addition, healthy use is also the key. Choosing a humidifier with water filtration, sterilization, and antibacterial functions is still very necessary for families with vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and the elderly. A good control system can also greatly improve the ease of use of the humidifier. Hurry up and buy it!
