They should add a little sticker that certifies that the humidifier supports water conservation, but in the sense of energy conservation or momentum conservation.

Do you have a recommendation?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I have a meaco dd8l.
I haven't tried any others, but I've had it for a few years.
Best purchase I've ever made.
Anyone living in a flat should get one.
Although, my parents bought one for their house and swear by it. So, I guess anyone living indoors should get one.

I can recommend the one I have but have no experience beyond that. It's a MeacoDry ABC 12l, which I bought because it was small and quiet and didn't draw too much power. I use it in the bathroom and to dry laundry, so we can trap and remove the moisture in one room and keep the other rooms dry. In the bathroom, it takes about 2-3h to dry it out. Laundry takes about 8-10h to fully dry. The device works through condensation of the air passing through it, so it works best in small rooms that are not too cold. So far, I'm very happy with it. The only thing I miss is an air filter, which some of the bigger models have.
