Now that winter has set in, it’s time to take out our BFFs - Heaters & Humidifiers. While snuggly clothes and hot drinks make dealing with the cold weather a lot easier, a room heater is a terrific way to remain warm. And if the paper dry air is making your skin crack and hair staticky, same! A humidifier is a great way to add moisture to the air, some of which have the option to add essential oils and other scents. That plus a heater will have you feeling cosy and comfortable at home during the coldest of times. Obviously, neither of these are one size fits all, and there are many options to choose from, so we’ve made it easier for you with this list.
Humidifiers and Heaters To Save You From This Un-brr-lievable Season
Heaters:
Candes New Infra Halogen
₹1799
Guaranteed to give you instant warmth, this one’s the perfect size for small rooms, and other compact spaces and it’s great because it’s noiseless. You can even customize three heat settings: 400W, 800W, 1200W. The rods oscillate, so the temperature remains steady, and is regulated, so you can pick a spot, settle in, and not feel too warm after sitting there for 10 minutes. Just remember that its chord isn’t too long, so if you want to move it around, you’ll need an extension chord. It features dual safety functions: A tip-over switch against tilting and a Thermal fuse with 1 year of warranty.
Orpat OEH-1220
₹1149
Orpat OEH-1220 is one of the bestselling fan heaters available online. It promises to heat up a space of 250 square feet with ease and has heat settings ranging from 1000 to 2000 watts. So this is ideal for setting up a cozy corner in your home or room. Those of you renting small homes, this one is the best option for you since it’s relatively easy to pack up and move as well. Features like safety cut-off and overheat prevention are also included.
Morphy Richards OFR 09
₹6599
This radiator is a great alternative to fan blow heaters because it’s technically less dehydrating. The 2000 Watt Morphy Richards heater heats up pretty quickly and can run for as long as you need it. It comes with wheels, so you can place it anywhere in your home for heating up to 400 square feet. It’s also quiet (except when being switched off, but that’s not a big deal), and you can change temperatures on the dial, with the max temperature setting at 32 degrees. Oh and the oil? Prefilled, and only used to heat the heating fins, so don’t worry about them.
Eveready QH800
₹1599
Another compact heater, the Eveready Heater doesn't rely on Halogen, but Quartz tubes to provide heating. Quartz tubes don’t expand much on heating and are highly durable, so these will last longer than their halogen counterparts. This heater draws less power than most of the others on this list, and also circulates cool air to keep the temperature steady. Great for heating corners, this one is portable too.
Price: INR 1,325
Orient Electric Areva FH20WP
₹1476
Another compact heater meant for spot heating, the Orient Electric Heater is a perfect addition to your study/work area at home. Or next to your bed to help settle into chilly nights, as its heat is felt up to 180 Square feet. This is a super basic heater that has two heating modes (1000 W and 2000 W). Using copper wires and a fan, you can use it as a mini table fan during warmer days, and yes the fan has adjustable speeds too.
Dyson Pure Hot+Cool
₹56900
We all know how Dyson has single-handedly taken over the smart-gadgets arena and rightly so. The Dyson Pure Hot+Cold works as both an air purifier and a heater. Crazy, right? This one rotates upto 350 degrees, so air is efficiently purified, and heat is distributed all around. Plus it’s remote controlled! The future is here and we’re living in it. And the purifier’s sleek design makes it look all the more attractive. These are a bit on the pricier end, but most Dyson products are worth the investment.
Humidifiers:
Dr Trust Dolphin Humidifier
₹3499
With over 2000 positive reviews on Amazon it’s safe to say that this is one of the best humidifiers available in the market. It holds up to 2L of water and functions upto 12 hours. One of the most appreciated parts about this product is that it’s noiseless, so it maintains a moist environment inside your room and encourages a good night's sleep.
Agaro Humidifier
₹1599
This humidifier has a capacity of 2.5L, which lasts for up to 24 hours. I like the fact that it gives you the choice of three modes - low, medium and high. The design is compact and wouldn't disrupt any room's aesthetic too.
Hivagi Flame Diffuser
₹3200
I’ve wanted this flame humidifier and diffuser since the day I saw it on Instagram. It has seven colour options and runs for two to three hours in one go. There's an auto power off that triggers when the water levels are low too.
