Room humidifiers: can you carry the water tank?
If you are contemplating the purchase of one of the newer models of room humidifiers, pay special attention to the water tank — this will need periodic and frequent refilling. How will you do this? With some units you must actually carry the water to the tank and pour it in — which is not very practical in many cases. Other models will have a detachable water tank — with these you simply remove it from the unit, take it to your faucet and refill it. With these types of models, make sure that you’ll be able to easily carry the water tank. Make sure that it has convenient carrying handles, and also make sure that it is not too large — large volumes of water are very heavy and can be difficult to carry.
