It's getting to be that tim

e of year, where I live, when cold weather keeps my furnace operating a big portion of the day and night, the hot air reducing the indoor air moisture, and making my skin desert dry. That means it's time to get my humidifier running again and boost the indoor humidity to a healthy 50%, or so. Air-O-Swiss, one of the leading manufacturers of humidification systems in the world, offers their Ultrasonic Digital Mist Humidifier ($210). The machine generates high frequency vibrations that evaporate the mist as it flows into the room. You have a choice of warm or cool mist; the machine computer monitors the temp and humidity of the mist, and modifies it to your desired set point while the silver ion demineralizing filter cartridge traps mineral and lime scale. Suitable for spaces to 650 square feet in area, the humidifier features a large LCD control display, transparent water tank, 1-8 hour timer and sleep mode, and reservoir levels and maintenance indicators.
