5 Highest Rated Humidifiers for Home to Save You Money and Improve Air Quality in 2018
Although spring has sprung, and cool nights are mostly behind us, it’s still important to consider a humidifier for drier weather. Especially useful in the winter, a good humidifier reduces the spread of airborne viruses, prevents dry skin, relieves allergies, and eliminates damage to wood, among other benefits. Invest in a humidifier now that will carry you through the rest of spring and help you maintain indoor quality in the fall. Today we look at six of the highest rated humidifiers for home use available this year, ranked from lowest priced to most expensive.
Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier
Priced at $30, this model is ideal for the occasional cold day or night, as opposed to all-winter use. A well-reviewed choice, there is no filter to replace on this humidifier and it has the bonus advantage of a medicine cup that allows you to bolster humidification by using Vicks VapoSteam and other liquid inhalants.
TaoTronics Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
$45 will get you a humidifier that purrs along with equally pleasing effectiveness. Best for a bedroom or home office, this ultrasonic humidifier is quiet, small, inexpensive, and efficient for rooms up to 270 square feet. Rotatable nozzles direct the mist to where you require it and you’ll get approximately 10 hours of use before you need to refill the tank.
Honeywell HCM350 Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier
Spend a little extra at $53 and you’ll get a nice model by one of the biggest names in humidifiers. Honeywell is a trusted brand and this cool mist humidifier is a bestseller on Amazon. You’ll also find this model is easy to clean and refill. Intended use is for medium-sized rooms and the larger tank allows you to run it for up to 24 uninterrupted hours on the low setting.
Levoit LV600HH Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier
Get more options and versatility at a reasonable price with the Levoit LV600HH Hybrid Ultrasonic. For $90, you’re able to choose between warm or cool mist using various modes of operation. You can also control this humidifier with a remote and it will display the current humidity in the room. An extra-large 6-liter water reservoir also means you’ll get maximum humidification between 20 and 36 hours without refilling.
Venta Airwasher 2-In-1 Humidifier and Air Purifier
Topping out at $300, this is the most expensive option but also likely the biggest money saver overall. Although this machine’s bells and whistles may be more than many people need, this device is renowned for its high efficiency and almost maintenance-free operation. You only have to clean it out every 10 to 14 days and it doubles as an air purifier, making it a double-win for many homeowners.

Gorman Mechanical installed a brand new cooling and heating system in my home. The replacement unit was larger and more energy-efficient. Our house has never been cooler and our energy bill even went down…. I highly recommend them and their services.

I had an issue with my A/C unit not cooling properly. The technician, Stacy, arrived during the time frame I was given, and I received a phone call about 30 minutes prior to his arrival, letting me know he was on his way. He was very professional and conscientious in figuring out and explaining the issue to me. He work was complete in a little over an hour and my house is cool once again! I will definitely refer Gorman Mechanical to others.

A Gorman technician came over to set us up with a new A/C unit and he did a phenomenal job. He was very up front with any cost and got our install scheduled in one day. He did a great job at getting me the unit needed without running the price through the roof.

I met with Gorman Mechanical’s Sales Manager. When he came out I had a bad taste in my mouth due to some misrepresentations made by another company that happened to be A rated on Angie’s List. Because of this I’m certain I was on the defensive and asked a million questions. He was very patient and took plenty of time answering all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and helped educate me on my options and the advantages/shortfalls of each. When I came to the actual bid, I felt it was very competitive compared to other bids I’d received. I felt so well informed and confident at that point I cancelled two other appointments I’d made for that day and signed up with Gorman Mechanical. He was able to promptly arrange a great deal on financing the bulk of the cost, leaving me to pay out of pocket for a couple last minute additions (extended warranty/Reme Halo). They did not want this until installation was complete. A couple days later they installed my new system and I’ve been very happy with it. Shortly after installation I had several other questions about maintenance and a small amount that was overcharged upon installation. He was very responsive answering my questions and arranging for a prompt refund check to be sent. Fortunately, it isn’t often that I need to spend so much money on an important purchase like this, but I felt very confident with my decision and going through the process with him and Gorman Mechanical made it painless. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gorman Mechanical to friends and family.

The repairman, Tim H., was prompt and courteous. I explained that he was a second opinion for our 21-year-old AC. The first company said that I would need 2 parts totaling $600 plus a coil that they would have to send a salesman out to quote me a price. Also first company was suggesting that I really needed whole new system. After inspection, Tim showed me how a part was wired the wrong way and he replaced a compactor and repaired a burnt wire. 2 lbs Freon were added. Total cost was retail: $217.75. I had a warranty so I paid less but what a difference in $600.00+ and $217.75! AC is working fine now. And we didn’t have to buy a new system. Thanks, Gorman Mechanical and Tim H.! The world needs more honest repairmen like you!
