Best cheap ultrasonic humidifiers up to 3000 rubles

Traditionally, the first group of monitored devices will be the most affordable models from among those where the principle of action is ultrasonic evaporation of water. Our experts have identified four models in this category: Ballu UHB-310, NeoClima NHL-060, Timberk THU ADF 01 and Marta MT-2668. All of them are powered from the network and have a low water level indicator (except Timberk THU ADF 01).

Ballu UHB-310

Ultrasonic humidifier of the Russian brand Ballu UHB-310 is produced in China. It is extremely simple, compact and elementary in the management of the unit dimensions of 176x226x176 mm and a weight of 1.21 kg.

At the declared power consumption of 25 W, the device should (according to the documentation) maintain the room up to 40 sq. M. meters But users often raise doubts about such performance.

The ratio of the volume of the water tank (3 liters) and water consumption (300 ml / h) suggests that one “charge” should be enough for the whole night (10 hours). For the most part, it is with rare exceptions.

Mechanical humidifier control. You can set a different evaporation rate and fan speed. Separately, a simple movement can change the direction of the steam.

Of the useful options: pre-filter, capsule for flavoring, removable humidity and temperature sensors.

In the network, this model is mainly praised, but there is also a small but noticeable percentage of sharply dissatisfied users. And they are dissatisfied with the same symptoms - the failure of the humidifier in the first weeks of work with the full outflow of water from the tank. Warranty replacement devices, as a rule, solved the problem.

NeoClima NHL-060

The humidifier of the Russian-Ukrainian brand NeoClima NHL-060 is produced in China. The dimensions of the device are 260x390x210 mm, and weight - 2.3 kg. Design, according to user feedback, low-key but elegant.

This model consumes almost as much energy as Ballu UHB-310 - 24 W, but the declared service area here is more honest - 30 square meters. meters Complaints about the inconsistency of this indicator is not observed. But a lot of positive reviews about the size of the water tank - as much as 6 liters.

Plus a big tank has a reverse side. In this model, exactly the same feature as the Ballu UHB-310 - to fill the tank with water, you need to turn it over. If in the case of Ballu, users were somehow loyal to this fact, then in this model with its 6 liters, this is already a very unpleasant moment, especially for women.

Electronic device control, you can adjust the fan speed and evaporation rate. There are pre-filters.The declared noise level is up to 36 dB, and almost everyone is happy with users. Sharp discontent is caused only by a loud and sharp signal of water exhaustion.

Although this model has a floor installation, users recommend putting a humidifier on at least a stool for greater efficiency.

Timberk THU ADF 01

This device is very different from the others in this group in almost everything, even by purpose. But our experts considered this solution interesting, especially since the users on the network generally speak very positively of it.

Humidifier-flavoring Timberk THU ADF 01 produced in China. In fact, it is not even a humidifier, but a flavoring agent, since the water consumption here is minimal - only 30 ml / h and rather serves as an auxiliary function. The water tank is also tiny - 0.12 l. Dimensions of the device - 160x84x160 mm, weight - 0.5 kg. This potential makes it possible to serve a very small room of 15 square meters. meters

Built-in options - 3W acoustics, Bluetooth wireless module for communicating with wearable gadgets (for streaming music to the device) and LED backlighting in four colors - make the Timberk THU ADF 01 more a subject of entertainment and relaxation than functional household appliances. But real buyers consciously make such an acquisition, and in general, no serious complaints are expressed.

Marta MT-2668

The pseudo-foreign trademark humidifier with Russian roots Marta MT-2668 is produced in China. This is a fairly simple device with a discreet design, but quite functional and mostly coping with its main function.

The device consumes 30 W of electric power, and the nominal water consumption is 250 ml / h. With a tank capacity of 5 liters, this is a good indicator, and users are mostly satisfied with this combination. At one full "refill" humidifier can work up to 20 hours.

In this model there are interesting dopfunctions - aromatization and ionization. Aromatic oil is poured into a separate cartridge, and not directly into the water, as in individual models. A big plus is that the ionizer in Marta MT-2668 is bipolar, that is, it generates both negatively and positively charged ions. Thus, the humidifier creates an atmosphere that is as close as possible to the natural one.

Electronic control modes, you can adjust the evaporation rate and fan speed. The installation is supposed to be floor standing, but many users recommend placing the device on a raised platform.

Top traditional humidifiers

Now consider the group of humidifiers with the traditional method of evaporation - the fan directs the air flow to the constantly humidified special parts of the system without the use of ultrasound. This principle has a great advantage - the formation of white salt deposits on the interior of the room is excluded. But there is a drawback - the efficiency is much lower than that of ultrasonic devices, and in order to achieve the same effect, more time and effort are needed from the equipment. Expertex experts identified three interesting models: Ballu EHB-010, Philips HU 4706 and HU 4707 and Coway AM-1012ED. They all work on the network.

Ballu EHB-010

Another model of the Russian brand humidifier, only this time with traditional humidification.Ballu EHB-010, like all other brand products, is manufactured in China. A relatively compact device with dimensions of 34.5 x 25 x 25 cm and a weight of 2.1 kg. It assumes both floor and desktop installation.

With a power consumption of 18 W, the model should serve a room of up to 30 square meters. meters But feedback from real users suggests that the manufacturer’s stated performance is greatly overestimated. Nominal water flow is 200 ml / h.

Ballu EHB-010 has a flavoring function. Fan speed can be adjusted. Built-in timer allows you to schedule trips in the range of up to 8 hours.

Another negative point - the actual noise of the work, according to user feedback, is much higher than the declared 26 dB. But this is not the most important drawback. The most suspicious is a significant percentage of complaints about the failure of the humidifier in the first months of operation.

Philips HU 4706 / HU 4707

The traditional humidifier of the famous Philips brand HU 4706 / HU 4707 is manufactured in China. The build quality, according to user reviews, is quite up to par, individual eulogies collects a spectacular futuristic design of the device. Dimensions - 162x308x198 mm, weight - 1.36 kg.

Humidifier power is the most modest in this group - 14 watts. Performance is also not the most outstanding - 150 ml / h with a tank volume of 1.3 liters. And these are only nominal indicators, and the real efficiency of moistening raises great doubts - this is the weakest point in this model, down to direct complaints about the senselessness of the purchase.

The users are dissatisfied with the device noise level of 40 dB, but at least the manufacturer himself honestly declares this. In addition, after some time of operation of the model, many users notice that the fan starts to make extraneous sounds.

Coway AM-1012ED

The most expensive model in the traditional humidifier group is the Korean Coway AM-1012ED. It is also the most effective, according to customer reviews. Dimensions - 312x409x312 mm, weight - 6.3 kg. Produced in South Korea.

With a power consumption of 56 W, the device is capable of serving a room of up to 65 square meters. m. The volume of the water tank - 4.5 l.

This model provides touch control, aromatization and ionization. There are pre-filters. You can adjust the fan speed. Using the timer, you can delay the shutdown by 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours.

The noise of the Coway AM-1012ED is relatively high - 45 dB, but does not exceed the stated figures, and at this point, users mostly do not complain.

The best ultrasound in the middle price segment

Now consider a large group of ultrasonic humidifiers, which are more expensive than the most cost-effective models, but have several advantages. In the field of view of our experts were as many as six models that find the most positive feedback from real buyers. All of them have a common structural feature - for refueling it is necessary to remove the upper part from the base and fill the water from below. Users are unanimous that this is extremely inconvenient.

Boneco U700

The Swiss ultrasonic humidifier Boneco U700 is produced in the Czech Republic. Externally, it is a compact box with dimensions of 325x360x190 mm and a weight of 4.6 kg. Users respond positively about the original design of the device.

This model is quite powerful. With a power consumption of 180 watts, it should serve the room up to 80 sq. M. metersBut in fact, such a limit, according to user feedback) is not always possible to achieve. Water consumption is also serious - 600 ml / h, but with an outstanding volume of water tank (9 liters), this does not look like a problem.

From the functional in this model are present: hygrometer (very inaccurate), pre-heating of water, demineralizing cartridge, aromatization. The cartridge is designed to solve the problem of white bloom on interior items - a well-known problem of ultrasonic humidifiers on hard water. In reality, according to users, it helps poorly.

From the electronic control panel, you can adjust the evaporation rate, set a timer, adjust, etc. Manually entered settings get lost after the humidifier is completely turned off, and many people don’t like it.

Electrolux EHU-3710D / 3715D

Humidifiers known concern Electrolux model EHU-3710D-3715D are manufactured in China. This device is 209x382x209 mm in size, weighing 2.3 kg and with a rather remarkable design.

The model is significantly less powerful than the previous one - 110 W, but this is more than enough for servicing the claimed 45 square meters. square meters. Water consumption - 450 ml / h. Tank capacity - 5 liters. Users note that the rate of moistening and performance in general are as stated.

The engineers of this model tried to solve the problem of white bloom by using a demineralizing cartridge. But, in the opinion of the same users, it cannot cope with “our” hard water, and it is almost impossible to purchase filler because of the shortage.

Of the useful options in this model is an ionizer, adjusting the direction of evaporation, as well as its intensity. The electronic control panel contains a large display with a nice design. There is also a remote control.

In general, this is a very good model, and one could even ignore an inefficient hygrometer (as in all neighboring models), if it were not for one engineering miscalculation. Due to the peculiarities of the case, the moisture gets inside the electronics, which is why the humidifier completely fails. Such cases are systematic.

Leberg LH-85

Air humidifiers of Swedish origin and the Chinese assembly Leberg LH-85 are quite compact - 241x338x240 mm and weigh 2.5 kg. The design is simple and uncomplicated, but for the most part buyers like it.

With a much lower power than the previous model - only 85 W, the claimed water consumption is as much as 500 ml / h and the service area is up to 65 sq. M. meters Strangely enough, direct complaints that the device "does not reach" the top indicators, were not found. The volume of the water tank is 6 liters.

In this model there is a function of using aroma oils, preheating of water, adjusting the evaporation rate and fan speed. The modes are displayed on the LCD, control is carried out from the electronic panel. There is a timer, an indicator of low water level, a hygrostat (extremely inaccurate, like most models of this class).

The stated noise level is 30 dB, and this is noted by many as an unpleasant drawback. To "problems of sound" you can add a sharp loud squeak when water is exhausted.

Electrolux EHU-5515D

Another Electrolux brand humidifier in this group is the EHU-5515D model. Produced in South Korea. In terms of functionality, it can be considered an improved and expanded version of Electrolux EHU-3710D / 3715D. Dimensions are 34.7x25.4x29 cm, and weight - 3.5 kg.

Power consumption at maximum load is 125 watts. In this case, the humidifier should serve an area of ​​up to 60 square meters. meters The water flow is palpable - 550 ml / h, but the water tank is also quite voluminous - 6.7 liters, so it is not necessary to fill up too often.

The functionality in this modification is somewhat enhanced. The device operates in “cold” or “warm” steam modes, can maintain humidity at a set level using the “Auto” mode, and goes into night mode with a decrease in noise and illumination. Nominal noise - 34 dB. Contains AG cartridge + silver particle cartridge for decontamination. Disconnection can be scheduled using the 8-hour timer.

With this model, users have almost the least problems, but there is something important. The presence of water sensor quickly begins to fail, which leads to abnormal device outages.

Ballu UHB-990

Humidifiers Ballu UHB-990 are manufactured in China. Along with Leberg LH-85 it is the most affordable humidifier in this group. Its dimensions are 204x361x234 mm, and weight - 2.5 kg. Users for the most part rate the design as “above average”.

The power consumption of the model is 110 watts. At a flow rate of 350 ml / h, such a performance should be enough to maintain 40 square meters. meters of space. The water tank is quite large - 5.8 l.

Similar to the Boneco U700 model, the creators here tried to solve the white blot problem with a demineralizing cartridge. The result, judging by the user reviews, is not much different for the better. That is, to completely avoid this problem, you will have to use only water after reverse osmosis.

There are also other useful features - ionization, water preheating, adjustment of evaporation rate, aromatization. Control - electronic, with a timer, display and remote control.

When you turn on the “warm steam” function, many users notice the leakage of a humidifier. Also, discontent causes too bright lights, which can not be turned off.

REDMOND RHF-3306

REDMOND RHF-3306 humidifiers are manufactured in China. Like most REDMOND appliances, this model has a fairly decent build quality and materials. The dimensions of the device are 41.5x33x18 cm, weight - 3.6 kg.

A power consumption of 130 watts ensures a flow rate of 400 ml / h. In combination with a 5-liter water tank, this should be enough to service areas up to 50 square meters. meters

Standard features such as fan speed / evaporation rate adjustment, hygrostat, off timer up to 12 hours. Modes are displayed on the LCD. The control panel is electronic. Humidity level can be set in the range of 40-75% in 5% increments.

This model has an important structural feature - a 60-centimeter vertical tube, which can be removed and put a small nozzle. But it is not recommended to do this, because, according to users, everything around the humidifier becomes damp, and this is already dangerous for the performance of the device. To many customers, this tube seemed out of place in terms of design.

Top Steam Moisturizers

Now let's get acquainted with the top three models of humidifiers of a completely different principle of action. Here, the level of humidity is increased due to the steam injection from boiling water in the humidifier. This method does not give white bloom on the furniture, but it creates a “bath effect” when the temperature rises and it becomes stuffy. Expertex Expertex offered three models: Beurer LB 50, Boneco S450 and Stadler Form Fred Series F.

Beurer LB 50

This is one of the already fairly rare cases of the German assembly of inexpensive household appliances. Humidifier Beurer LB 50 has a linear dimensions of 280x315x235 mm and weighs 2.8 kg. Buyers immediately notice the high quality of "honest" German assembly.

With a power consumption of 380 W, the device consumes up to 350 ml / h. The volume of the tank is quite significant - 5 liters, that is, the water does not have to be changed too often. Nominal service area - 50 square meters. meters

In general, this is a fairly simple model that contains only a few additional functions - aromatization, low water level indication and a demineralizing cartridge. Modes are set by mechanical controls.

Extreme simplicity of the device causes a slight dissatisfaction with the lack of some functions - for example, automatic shutdown or a humidity level sensor. But, given that the built-in non-portable sensors in humidifiers often show values ​​that are far from reality, this is a minimal drawback.

Boneco S450

The steam humidifier of the Swiss Boneco S450 trademark is assembled at the company's plant in the Czech Republic. The case dimensions are 334x355x240 mm, weight - 4.5 kg.

This is the most powerful steam humidifier in our review - 480 watts. This energy consumption should be enough to maintain an area of ​​up to 60 square meters. meters at a flow rate of 550 ml / h. The volume of the water tank is also very decent - 7 liters.

The control of the device is touch, the LCD display is equipped with a dimming function depending on the ambient light in the room. To maintain humidity, there are two modes - 50% and 45%. There is a tank for aroma oils, a gyrostat, a timer.

The nominal noise is 35 dB, but in fact the noise of the model is ambiguous and unstable. Buyers for the most part are not happy with it.

To combat the serious problem of scaling in this model, engineers are trying to solve it with a demineralizing cartridge. Unfortunately, it is practically useless.

Stadler Form Fred F ‐ 005EH / F-008EH / F-014H / F-015RH / F-017EH

The Stadler Form Fred steam humidifier of these series is a product of a Swiss brand and Chinese assembly. The device is made in a very unusual form factor - reminiscent of a "flying saucer" with supports released. Dimensions - 363x267x363 mm, weight - 3.4 kg.

With a power consumption of 300 watts, water consumption is 340 ml / h. The performance of the device is enough to maintain the room up to 40 square meters. meters The volume of the tank is quite modest - 3.7 l.

The functionality of this model is rather austere: a hygrostat, adjustment of the evaporation rate, low water level indication, automatic shutdown when the tank is empty. As for the gyrostat, it is remote in this modification, but it is still not very accurate, as in most humidifiers of this class. Of the benefits - fairly quiet operation up to 26 dB.

There is a special feature in this version - quite an original design, which was not liked by everyone. That is why this feature is present simultaneously in both advantages and disadvantages.

Top Premium Moisturizers

And finally, let's analyze the most top models of premium class humidifiers. Our experts are interested in two models - another futuristic solution from Dyson - Dyson AM10 and Japanese Daikin MCK75JVM-K.

Dyson AM10

Ultrasonic humidifier Dyson AM10 produced in Malaysia. A striking feature of this model is the “high-tech” futuristic design that almost all customers like. Dimensions of the device - 240x579x135 mm.

The humidifier's power is extremely modest - only 40 W, but it provides evaporation with quite noticeable water consumption - 300 ml / h. This is enough for high-quality humidification of indoor air to 16 square meters. meters

The device contains a UV lamp for disinfection. Uses advanced ultrasonic evaporation using patented Air Multiplier ™ technology. The design of the device is such that it can be used as a humidifier, or this function can be turned off, and then the Dyson AM10 will work as a fanless fan.

The control is represented by an electronic panel, a 9-hour shutdown timer, and a remote control. Fan speeds / evaporation rates can be adjusted.

Dyson AM10 is certified by the American Asthma and Allergy Foundation (Asthma & Allergy Foundation). Safe for use by people prone to allergies.

Daikin MCK75JVM-K

Purifier humidifier Japanese brand Daikin MCK75JVM-K produced in Belgium. Made in a rectangular form factor of 395x590x268 mm and weighing 11 kg.

At maximum humidification mode, the water consumption is 600 ml / h. Air cleaning capacity is about 450 cu. m / h Water tank capacity - 4 liters. Electrostatic and photocatalytic filters are used for cleaning.

Of the functionality in this model, there is a sensor of air cleanliness, an ionizer, adjustment of the fan speed and evaporation rate, delayed shutdown timer.

In general, this model can be considered a complete air cleaning, and not just a humidifier. And it is precisely the cleaning functions that mainly find a positive response from real users.

The noise level of the device is quite noticeable - 50 dB according to the documents. This number of users mark as an unpleasant moment, but not critical against the background of other advantages. A much more tangible minus is the price.

Which air humidifier is better to buy

Now let's summarize in all this diversity and find out which model of humidifier it would be advisable to buy under certain conditions.

1. If the budget is limited, and the requirements for technology are minimal, you can look at the low-cost model Marta MT-2668. She receives the least negative reviews from real users. Neighboring Ballu UHB-310 and NeoClima NHL-060 models create the impression of short-lived and not very reliable ones. Timberk THU ADF 01 in this series is separate, and is suitable for those who clearly need just such a functional (aromatization, music, lighting).

2. Of the considered traditional humidifiers, the best is without doubt Coway AM-1012ED. But it is much more expensive than the other two models in the same group. Compared to Ballu EHB-010, it is more expensive by a whole order of magnitude, but in terms of quality, reliability, efficiency and productivity, it cannot be compared.

3. Of the ultrasonic humidifiers of the average price segment, two solutions from Electrolux - EHU-3710D / 3715D and EHU-5515D - look pretty good. They are optimal for the combination of price and quality, but their flaws are quite tangible. Less problems will bring the owner of the Boneco U700, but this model is more expensive. Leberg LH-85 and Leberg LH-85 can only be considered from the point of view of the minimum price - too many complaints from users.

4. From steam humidifiers the most controversial model - Stadler Form. Controversial because it is quite difficult to isolate clear advantages in it, but there are quite a few complaints about frequent breakdowns. Beurer LB 50 and Boneco S450 are almost equivalent in performance, only Boneco is almost three times more expensive.

5. In the premium segment, choosing is pretty easy. If, in addition to moistening, you also need air purification, choose Daikin MCK75JVM-K, but you will have to pay one and a half times more. Dyson AM10 is perfect for fans of all new, advanced and high-tech, but the model will not cope with a large room.
