We haven’t had a humidifier in years. But when we did, it wafted skin soothing puffs of evaporated water into our bone-dry home, smoothing our face and hands and elbows and knees and shins… into baby softness. But it was clunky and whirred/hummed so ohmygod loud that we never replaced it when it eventually died. (Our cat mourned her favourite “toy.” When we had it she’d lie in wait, thwacking the humidifier with her two front paws each time a water bubble surfaced and popped.)
Recently though, we upped our humidifier game adding the Smartmi’s Rainforest 3L Evaporate Smart Humidifier into our nightly routine. And trust us when we say it’s as smooth sounding as its name implies. Sleek and white with a transparent clear panel featuring a rainy landscape, this cylindrical-shaped humidifier not only looks great it sounds fantastic, like a soothing rain fall. No thunderstorm, no lighting, no big bubbles popping, just the calm pitter patter of nature.
It’s smart too, literally. The waterproof LED screen shows us the humidifier’s real-time water levels, even as we pour fresh water directly onto it. It can be connected to our smartphone and operated with the optional voice control. The filter is washable and recyclable, and the water tank lasts for up to 15 hours, so we can fall asleep and dream of South America’s Chocó-Darien to the backdrop of raindrops. The air in our condo is fresher too, so, a winner, winner all round.
