Cool mist humidifiers use fans, rotating discs, or vibrating plates to ev***rate water without heat. They emit water v***r as a cool fog.

Warm mist humidifiers boil water to create steam, which floats into the air to raise humidity levels. These devices don’t typically contain fans.

Ev***rative humidifiers are popular for their simple mechanisms and cool mist operation. A wicking filter draws water out of a reservoir attached to the machine. Then, a fan blows air through the filter, ev***rating some of the water into the air.

Ultrasonic humidifiers use vibrations to turn water into fine droplets. Inside the humidifier is a metal diaphragm that vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency to v***rize the water.

A steam humidifier, or v***rizer, is a warm mist device that boils water to create steam. It uses a heating element to heat the water to its boiling point. Then, the steam floats out of a hole at the top and humidifies the air—no fan required.
