Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Humidifiers offer the option of cool or warm mist in any environment there is. They are nearly silent in operation and work equally well in either small or large spaces. For the health and environmentally conscious, silver technology is applied to each model, meaning micro sized particles of silver are embedded in the 1.4 gallon reservoir. The particles are extremely small, and yet they provide significant health benefits by reducing bacteria and at the same time preventing infections. Six hundred and fifty species of bacteria and viruses are killed on contact by silver.Ultrasonic vibrations tend to kill most microbes by invading and destroying cell walls. These humidifiers use high frequency sound waves to vibrate a metal diaphragm, which then breaks down the water into a micro-fine, cool fog. The mist is dispersed into the air by a small, silent fan. Also, the diaphragm is titanium plated in order to prevent corrosion, and the mist diffuser is made of nickel plated copper to prevent rust and water scale. Distilled water is very highly recommended.Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Humidifiers have no hidden costs that may surprise you anytime when using them, such as pads, filters or wicks to clean or replace. They favorably offer the user four levels of mist output including low, medium, high and turbo. Controlling the direction of the mist is really easy with a 360 degree adjustable spout. The run time for warm mist is sixteen hours and seventy-two hours for cool mist, depending on the weather conditions. A low water indicator lights up when it is time to refill the tank. The daily output is 0.46 gallons for cool mist and 2.2 gallons for warm mist. And for daily power consumption, it is 40 watts for cool settings and 140 watts for warm settings. All models do have an automatic shut off feature.The heating option heats the water before it is dispersed. This wonderful feature actually provides a choice in settings between cool or warm air. This feature also effectively eliminates the growth of bacteria in the water and as well keeps the room from feeling too cold. The control display is digital with push buttons, which is highly advantageous for conveniently selecting settings. A digital clock is also built into the control display, along with a soft nightlight for super easy reading. As an additional bonus, Germ Guardian Ultrasonic Humidifiers come with a three year limited warranty.
