A Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier may be of help at times when you wonder why kids and colds seem to be synonymous. With between 6 and 8 colds a year per kid you don’t have to feel guilty if you find all the sneezing and wheezing a bit tedious after a while! The idea behind a Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier is that your child will feel more comfortable if the air around him or her is kept moist. The cool mist option became popular, as it removes the possibility of accidental burns.

Proper maintenance is extremely important if you have one of these gadgets. Bacterial growth and mineral deposits need to be avoided as far as possible. In the Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier the Lifelong filter helps to remove mineral deposits from the water by utilizing exclusive composite materials. The cleaning instructions are simple to follow. In addition, the company makes use of a Microban Antimicrobial Product Protection system. This technology is built into the plastic and filter of the machine, minimizing bacterial growth that could lead to odors, molds and mildew.

The Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier with LifeLong permanent filter is suitable for use in medium-sized rooms. The fact that you never have to replace the filter cuts down on costs. It is simply washed to refresh it according to the instructions. The FilterClean indicator is a very useful monitor in this regard. The tank is shatter proof. This device can run for up to 36 hours after each filling.

The Comfort Control Humidistat tells the machine when the desired level has been reached. Although the manufacturer labels this machine as quiet, some folks still find that it is too noisy. Check this aspect before you buy. If you use this in a baby nursery, the white noise it creates can actually help to soothe an infant. Are you looking for a useful gift for a pregnant mom? One of these devices could be it! This particular model has 3 comfort settings and comes with a 2 year warranty.

Some experts recommend switching from the Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier to the newer ultrasonic technology also found in the Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic or a similar Vicks unit. The technology used here consists of a vibrating ‘metal diaphragm’ that creates high-frequency sound. This breaks water particles into a fine mist or vapor. The advantages of these designs include a lower noise level during operation and lower running costs. However, if it doesn’t come with antibacterial technology, you may have a problem if you are not absolutely meticulous about cleaning the machine. Some of the more expensive models include ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria. Here you will need to replace the filter every two to three months. Look for a filter that removes the minerals that lead to ‘white dust’ from the machine. The Air-O-Swiss machine has the benefit that it offers both warm and cool mist options.

Other options on the market include the Vicks Natural Mist model, also a cool mist product. This one has to be re-filled every twelve hours, but it is fairly quiet. Evenflo manufactures a similar unit, but again it can be noisy. Honeywell humidifiers and Bemis humidifiers featuring Bemis waterwick evaporative filters are well-known.

Alternatively, you could take a look at pediatric nebulizers. Whole house humidifiers can also be installed.

Vaporizers and warm mist models are not so popular, due to the possible burn hazard they present. Keep these products out of reach of babies and toddlers at all times. One can never be too vigilant. An accident happens in an instant.

Whether you opt for one of the Bemis humidifiers or a Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions carefully to make sure that you get the best service from your ‘rainmaker’.
