The indoor climate is a very important factor. The air humidity directly affects how households will feel. This is reflected even in animals. If the room is too dry and stale air, adults and children will suffer from constant seasonal diseases, dry skin, allergic reactions and many other troubles.
Fortunately, in order to cope with this problem, just buy a humidifier. To date, on sale you can find both overall and almost tiny products of this type.

Before you consider the rating of the best small humidifiers with a volume of up to 5-6 liters, which are easily installed on the table, it is worth paying attention to the varieties of systems of this type.
Cold humidifiers
These devices got their name because of their operating principle. It is based on cold evaporation. It is necessary to pour water into the filling tank of the unit, which will be constantly transmitted to the evaporation element, moistening the room. In addition, in devices of this type there are built-in fans that supply dry air inside the unit. Thanks to this, circulation and updating of air flows takes place. Such devices are considered one of the cheapest, but nevertheless they are quite effective.
Steam units
In this case, air is humidified against the background of a boiling liquid. Inside the device there is a heating element, which begins to gradually evaporate water. Due to this, water vapor is released, which fills the room. Not only is the humidification of the air, but also its purification from pathogenic bacteria.
Steam humidifiers are successfully used in winter gardens and even greenhouses, where you need a very careful care for flowers.
Ultrasonic devices
Such models are considered one of the best, since in this case an oscillating membrane is used, that is, an ultrasonic emitter. Out comes water vapor, which in common people call cold fog. Ultrasonic hydration is considered one of the most effective. In addition, the method allows you to clean the air from pathogenic bacteria. Consider the best models of the most compact room humidifiers.
