First you need to determine the type of equipment.

Steam analogues are more productive, but they must be chosen strictly taking into account the dimensions of the room and power - otherwise it will be like in a sauna. Ultrasonic models or devices that work on a cold pair are better suited for a children's room. The problem of the latter option is that due to the presence of a fan it is very noisy.

With regard to water flow, it is important to pay attention to power and tank. If a 5 liter tank is installed, then even 500 grams per hour will be enough for 10 hours of work. However, the lower the consumption, the more convenient.

In terms of useful functions, here everything is limited to the amount that you are willing to allocate for the purchase of equipment. Of course, a good addition to the humidifier is a high-quality filtration system, the ability to control the optimal level of humidity, automatic shutdown when the minimum water level is reached. It is imperative that there is an indication. If you plan to save money, you can refuse to control using the remote control, touch panel and other premium options aimed at increasing the final cost of the goods.
