Air Purifier, Humidifier, Diffuser, To Clean Air, What's The Difference?

JAKARTA - Air quality in the house has an important role in supporting health. When the house is full of dust and dirty, the risk of disease will be higher.

To help improve air quality, you can take advantage of electronic devices such as purifiers, humidifiers and diffusers. Although at first glance they look the same, these three objects have different functions.

Let's figure out the differences in order to determine which one you need the most.

Purifier has the main function of cleaning the air from bacteria and viruses. This tool works by absorbing the air around it then filtering it and removing it again in a cleaner condition.

The use of this tool is recommended to be placed in a room with bad air, for example, full of cigarette smoke. This tool can filter and clean the air around it, and can even remove the odor from cigarette smoke.

For a humidifier, its function is to humidify the air in the room, and can adjust the humidity level without producing any aroma. This tool can help conditions with asthma and allergies caused by air.

Humidifiers work by heating water to produce warm steam. The electromagnetic wave system in the humidifier will break down the water and turn it into hot steam.

A humidifier will be more suitable for storage in an air-conditioned or dry room. Can be used in a large room too. However, humidifiers are not suitable in damp rooms because they can make it easier for mold to grow.

Diffusers have different uses than purifiers and humidifiers. This tool can clean the air, spray fragrances, and make the occupants of the room more relaxed. Generally, a diffuser requires water and aromatherapy oil.

The use of a diffuser is more suitable for small rooms such as bedrooms so that the fragrance is spread more optimally and lasts a long time. You can turn it on overnight so you can sleep more soundly and relax.
