Humidifiers come in all shapes and sizes, so if you want to find one that can improve the humidity in a large room, or even in your entire house, you can. Given this, you might want to know the difference between a high capacity humidifier and a normal humidifier. In this article, we're going to let you know what you can expect from one of these humidifiers based on opinions we've analyzed from users across the web.
First of all, high capacity humidifiers are found to have high performance. They are also heavier than other humidifiers by a significant margin, and when it comes to size they have around 7 to 8 inches on other humidifiers in height and width. Of course, they are better at covering large areas, being able to cover areas of 2000 square feet or more, which is huge when you compare it to the average humidifier with a covering area of around 550 square feet. While you can find high capacity ultrasonic humidifiers, the majority of these machines are evaporative. Price-wise, you should expect to spend around $145 on a high capacity humidifier, which is about $100 over the average price of a normal humidifier.
If you're looking to invest in a humidifier that'll cover every room in your house, you'll have a high performance machine at your disposal. If you have more than three rooms in your home, a $150 humidifier has paid for itself, since you get to save around $50 you'd spend on a humidifier for each extra room. High capacity humidifiers are also great for big garages, big living rooms and the like. You should definitely look into buying one if you are living in a big house.
