I live in FL so the idea of having a humidifier was never appealing to me. Then I learned how great they are when you're sick and the fact I tend to have sinus issues and dryness issues, I figured I'd give this a try. I'm glad I did! The ability to moisten the room a bit to help with sinuses made it so I didn't suffer as much as I have in the past. It's also nice because you can add a bit of essential oils to add a nice fragrance as well. I added some lavender which helped me get a nice nights sleep. Though this isn't something I'll have on all the time, because FL has it's own constant natural humidifier, it's definitely something i'll use for certain cases.
