It is not stylish at all, but its humidification performance is sufficient. The living room of the rented apartment where the author lives is about 13 tatami mats in size, but the humidity, which had dropped to the 30% range, quickly rose to about 50%. In fact, the humidification performance is so high that the operating time is short.
I bought it when I had a child, but I would like to have a function to automatically run or stop based on 50% humidity, as it sometimes exceeds 60% humidity when left unattended.
The main unit is quite heavy, so it is not something you would want to carry around frequently, but the handles are attached and the cord is magnetic, so it is easy to carry around.
In other words, it is just like changing the lid of a hot water pot. The humidifier is a power humidifier that keeps boiling for a long time, so you need to be careful that the steam is hot.
It has a 3L capacity, but if you are not near a water supply, it is like carrying water in a 2L plastic bottle. 2L of water is enough for 16 hours of operation on low, so you don’t have to make another round trip for the remaining 1L of water.
Just as boiling water does not leak when you knock over a hot water kettle, it does not leak either. Furthermore, it is very safe because you have to use both hands to open it. However, if you don’t open it well, the steam is hot.
It is unfortunate that the body cannot be washed directly, but it can be cleaned with citric acid.
This product is based on the idea that if you leave the lid open on a kettle, the humidity will rise and the room will get warmer. The humidification performance is impressive, though it is so forceful that it makes you laugh. The high temperature of the steam that is spewed out from the pot raises the temperature of the room and reduces the use of the air conditioner. However, the power consumption is about 1,000W for water heating and about 300W for humidification, so if you keep running it, your electricity bill will probably be huge.
Founded in 1918, Zojirushi Corporation is officially known as Zojirushi Mahobin Co. The company started out manufacturing and selling vacuum flasks, and later expanded its business to rice cookers and electric hot water pots. The author has a strong image of rice cookers, and naturally, the rice cooker in my home is a Zojirushi.
