Why it matters
The Stadler Form O-021 Humidifier is an evaporative humidifier with a 3.5 liters tank, rated for 40 square meters.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold. Evaporative wicks trap the minerals instead of releasing them, so tap water is fine, but the wick stiffens and needs replacing.
A full tank holds about 3.5 liters, which adds roughly 8 pounds of water to carry or lift to the sink and back.
Its tank of 3.5 liters is below the middle of the range we cover: 21 of the 78 humidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 0.7 liters to 20.1 liters.
Price-wise it sat in the middle third of the 22 evaporative models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
