This past Christmas I got a very wonderful gift in the mail from my cousin. I had mentioned in passing that my house was always dry and had been thinking about wanting a humidifier installed in my heating and air conditioning system. The only problem was, those central heating and air conditioning style humidifiers that are controlled by the thermostat on the wall and run through the air vents, are way too expensive for me to afford on my budget. So what did my cousin buy and send to me? A very large portable humidifier! I was truly over the moon with glee as I found out what was in this very big and kind of heavy package! I right away set this portable humidifier up in my bedroom, where it was the most dry in my happy home. I called my cousin up on the phone and thanked him highly for the wonderful gift of the portable humidifier and told him how over the moon with glee I was about finally having something in the humidifier family of things. Even though it was not the professional heating and air conditioning style humidifier that is controlled by the thermostat on the wall and that runs through the air ducts and air vents, I was still very happy, and it will do the job for one room in the house! The bedroom is where I was having the most issues, so this will help a whole ton more than my cousin even realizes! I recommend getting one of these humidifiers to anyone who can not afford a central HVAC style one.
