We’ve both suffered the negative effects due to dry air. I (Sheena) would always wake up with a dry and “crunchy” nose, along with a throat that felt like I swallowed a collection furballs because the air was so dry in our home. I (Greg) had it even worse, as I was sometimes rudely awakened by a nosebleed. The fact that the season is transitioning into winter doesn’t make it any better, as we have the heat on all day to keep us warm. This change in indoor climate may possibly irritate Boogie’s eczema and also make it easier for bacteria to harvest in the mucus membranes of our throats and nasal passages. We don’t want any parts of sickness!

Having a humidifier is a MUST during the cold winter months. Our previous one was alright, but it had too many disadvantages to make it efficient. The water ran out too fast because the reservoir was small; the filter had to be replaced too frequently; and the temperature of the air being blown couldn’t be adjusted, so it ended up making our room really cold. In other words, it sucked, and we needed a better humidifier.

So when the Vornado Ultrasonic Humidfier arrived at our door, we were definitely excited to give it a go! The Vornado Ultrasonic is definitely not your average humidifier! It has many unique features that makes it stand apart from all other humidifiers.

The Vornado Ultrasonic Humidifier uses a high velocity fan to evenly circulate microscopic water droplets throughout the room. With our previous humidifier, we had to wipe up the moisture it left on the surface that it rested on. This seems to be a problem that a lot of humidifiers have, which is why they suggest putting it on a high surface. But since the Vornado Ultrasonic circulates the humidity, you can place it anywhere you’d like, including on the floor which is where we have ours now.

The Vornado Ultrasonic Humidifier has a 2 gallon water reservoir with a 3.5 gallon output in 24 hours. With our previous humidifier, it had to be refilled multiple times a day because the reservoir tank was so small. But with the Vornado Ultrasonic, we don’t have to refill the tank as frequently. We’ll typically run it for about 12 hours a day, so we’ll only have to change it once a day at the most.

The Vornado Ultrasonic has multiple settings that you can adjust to your liking, including a warm mist setting! Our previous humidifier always left our room feeling cold, as there was no way to adjust the temperature of the outputted air. Now we can finally enjoy crisp air without having to wear multiple layers of clothing or hide beneath blankets! The Vornado Ultrasonic settings include:

Mist Condition: With this setting, you can set the mist output to blow either warm mist or cold mist.
Humidity Level: This setting allows you to adjust the humidity level you wish to reach with 35% being lowest and 60% being highest.
Fan Speed: With this setting, you can set the fan to blow either high or low.

The Vornado Ultrasonic alerts you with maintenance notifications. It will let you know when you have to refill the reservoir tank, when it has to be cleaned (after 400 hours of use), and when the mineral cartridge needs to be replaced (after 800 hours of use). This helps to keep the humidifier running efficiently so it’ll last longer.

The Vornado Ultrasonic is incognito! We love the appearance of the Vornado Ultrasonic because it has a sleek look to it as if it’s a freshly waxed car! It’s also not very tall or wide, so it can fit snuggly into a corner of a room without conflicting with other furniture. It’s also not very loud at all; sometimes we forget it’s even on. The fan speed can be set to low for nighttime quietness, but the high setting isn’t much louder than the low setting. The Vornado Ultrasonic can humidify up to 1,250 square feet, so there’s no need to put a humidifier in every room. Depending on how big your home is, just one Vornado Ultrasonic should do the trick!

The Vornado Ultrasonic Humidifier has definitely been a life saver to us! Breathing in moisturized air feels more refreshing. We no longer wake up to unpleasant surprises and we can rest knowing that our boogie’s skin isn’t worsening and we are actually fighting off germs! Click here to see the Vornado Ultrasonic demo!
