humidifiers
Room moisture machines
Humidifiers are devices that add moisture to the air, typically used indoors to combat dryness from heating systems or arid climates.
They range from small bedroom units to whole-house systems.
People use them to ease respiratory discomfort, protect wooden furniture, or maintain comfortable humidity levels: We run a humidifier in the baby's room during winter.
