What speaks for a humidifier
Dry room air dries out the mucous membranes over time. This is unpleasant and makes mucous membranes more susceptible to germs. It can also cause dry skin, burning eyes and headaches.
In addition, breathing becomes more difficult when the air is too dry. The reason for this is that the lungs are less able to release oxygen when the humidity is too low. Dry air can therefore lead to irritated lungs or coughing.

The shortcoming of the model is the small water tank, which only has a capacity of two liters. The humidifier shows the filling level of the tank on its display and switches off automatically as soon as the water tank is empty. The display also informs you about the current humidity in the respective room. So you can use the humidifier specifically when it is necessary.

The water tank of the device has a capacity of five liters. According to Dyson, this can be used to humidify rooms with an area of up to 81 square meters.
Special feature of the Purifier Humidify+Cool: The device can be controlled via the supplied remote control and also via WLAN and the Dyson Link app while on the go.
