Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Humidifiers
The Ultrasonic Humidifier series from Germ Guardian is designed specifically for small rooms and personal spaces. All
three humidifiers have silver clean technology that fights mold and bacteria in the water tank without the hassle of
replacement filters or pads. The Ultrasonic Digital and Manual versions have a 1.4 gallon tank capacity that gives up
to 72 hours of successive humidity. With three distinct humidifiers in the series, you will be able to find one that best fits your needs.
What I like about Germ Guardian humidifiers
I took the Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Digital Humidifier home with me to test the unit in my daughter’s room. The best thing
about the Ultrasonic Digital is how quietly it operates. On the highest setting, the Digital Humidifier is almost silent,
and it was easy for my daughter to fall asleep with the humidifier running in her bedroom. After setting the digital clock,
I had the ability to set a timer to start and stop the humidifier while she slept.
Secondly, you are able to control the power, the direction, and the temperature of the
vapor. The buttons and the digital display make this control very easy. The display is kind of fun to use and the
graphics are easy to follow. Each function is controlled with large, readable buttons. The four speed settings—low,
medium, high, and turbo--are displayed as colored lights that encircle the clock. You have the ability to control the
speed setting by the push of a button. You also can control the direction of the
vapor with the spout on top of the unit. Additionally, you have a temperature choice between warm and cool humidity.
Lastly, my daughter likes the night light function. A soft ring of light encircles the front of the humidifier. This is
kind of stylish and resembles an old clock or radio facade. The small night light is bright enough to provide a comfortable
glow in a child’s room.
If you do not need the night light or the timer function, the Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Manual Humidifier functions exactly
the same as the Digital version. The Ultrasonic Manual is slightly less expensive, but it will deliver the same quality performance.
Once again, you lose the night light and the control in the timing department. You only are able to turn the unit on and off.
Instead of push button control, the Ultrasonic Manual allows you to increase the power and regulate the temperature of the spray
with separate rotary dials.
What I do not like about Germ Guardian humidifiers
I really like this product especially the Ultrasonic Digital. One drawback is the handle. The handle only picks up the water tank.
The first few times I tried to move the humidifier I pulled it apart. You have to pick the whole humidifier up. The Ultrasonic Digital
and Manual are bigger in size than some other humidifiers I have seen in the marketplace. The dimensions are 14.5 x 9 x 12 inches. The
water tank is large, so there is a correlation between capacity and the actual size of the humidifier.
In summary, these ultrasonic humidifiers from Germ Guardian are as quiet as any humidifiers that I have used. In the Digital
model, Germ Guardian gives the user total control over the humidity output. You can tailor the output to fit your needs and sleep habits.
