Smart Humidifiers: Dyson vs Venta
Winter is here, and with it comes dry air that can be a real pain for people with respiratory issues, dry skin, or electric static. Enter the smart humidifier, the savior of the winter months. In this post, we'll take a look at two of the market's most popular smart humidifiers, Dyson and Venta, compare their features, and help you decide which one is right for you.
Design
Dyson is known for its slick, tech-forward designs, and the Dyson humidifier is no exception. Its Bladeless fan technology makes it a statement piece in any room. On the other hand, Venta, with its rounded corners and minimalistic design, is simple and unobtrusive.
Features
Dyson's humidifier doubles as a fan, keeping you cool in the summer months as well. It also has a sleep timer and can be controlled through Alexa or Siri. The Dyson's tank is smaller, holding just over a gallon of water, and mist output can be adjusted between 1 - 10 levels.
Venta, on the other hand, does not double as a fan but can cover a larger room thanks to its six-gallon capacity. Venta also has a built-in humidistat, indicating when the humidity levels are perfect, which can help with energy efficiency. Venta's tank is simpler to fill as well, a top-loading drawer, while the Dyson tank sits at the bottom of the unit.
Performance
When it comes to actual air quality improvement, both humidifiers put up a good fight, but benchmarks for measurable improvement show that Dyson edges out Venta in overall performance. Dyson's evaporative technology means it's easier to clean, and its tank doesn't require the traditional bleaching process plaguing competitor humidifiers.
Venta's cleaning process is straightforward, but it involves soaking the machine's components in water and bleach, a process that can take up to 24 hours.
Price
Dyson's humidifier retails at around $499, while Venta's model is around two-thirds the price, retailing at around $299.
Final Verdict
Dyson's Bladeless fan technology, along with strong performance benchmarks, make it a premium option that comes with a premium price. But for those looking for something more affordable, Venta's larger tank size and energy efficiency features may be a better fit. Ultimately it comes down to what you are looking for in a smart humidifier, a statement piece or a minimalistic one, and the price you're willing to pay.
We hope this comparison has given you a better idea of what these two popular humidifiers have to offer. Stay smart and stay hydrated this winter season!
