When my son was born it became evident fairly quickly that he had baby eczema. We had occasionally used a humidifier in the house prior to his birth, but the outbreak of those itchy, red welts on his tiny face had us reevaluating the one we owned. We spent a few bucks and bought a pretty fancy one that we figured was doing the job. Then why was William’s eczema getting worse? What started as baby eczema is still around, seven years later and while I don’t blame the humidifier we had for this nasty skin problem, it sure as heck didn’t help. And now, I think I know why.
Bacteria. Bacteria in the water.
It wasn’t until I was recently introduced to the Dyson Humidifier that I found out that most other humidifiers on the market are really a little swimming pool in your home, producing bacteria and spreading it all over the place. Can you imagine the germs you are breathing in? Germs that can exacerbate cold or allergy symptoms, make eczema prone skin even more susceptible to outbreaks of dry, itchy patches and essentially make it almost impossible to truly feel 100% healthy.
The Dyson Humidifier uses Ultraviolet Cleanse technology to kill 99.9% of the bacteria in the water, before the humidifier actually does it’s assigned job, which is to provide hygienic humidification to your home. The Dyson Humidifier than projects that clean, hydrated air throughout your home evenly, thanks to the patented Dyson Air Multiplier™ technology. I love that this is all done without the use of blades, making this machine safe for children to be around. It is perfect for a nursery, child’s bedroom or just about anywhere else in the house. Another nifty attribute of the Dyson Humidifier is the ability to measure both the temperature and moisture in the air to create a comfortable environment. This is done with it’s Intelligent Climate Control feature.
And for this menopausal mama perhaps my favourite component is that the Dyson Humidifier doubles as a fan, shooting a nice, cool breeze into the room, all while making the air I and my family are breathing in, clean and healthy. Oh, and did I mention it has a remote?! 🙂 I think that is my hubby’s personal favourite feature. 😉 One full tank of water will allow your humidifier to run for up to 18 hours, but it has a built-in sleep timer for automatic shut-off.
One thing that is common in many households, mine included, is the presence of asthma. My son has it and needs to keep a puffer on him at all times. It was great to see that the Dyson Humidifier is the first of it’s kind to receive the asthma and allergy friendly ™ Certification from the Asthma Society of Canada. That is music to this mama’s ears.
Dyson is known for having quality products that are designed to help keep your home environment comfortable and clean and I think they have achieved that with the Dyson Humidifier. It is a little on the expensive side at $599, but it is a fantastic investment in your family’s health. It is now available for purchase on the Dyson Canada website and will be in stores next month.
We are using our Dyson Humidifier to hydrate our skin before the dry winter months hit. What would you use one for?

I definitely need this in my home for the winter months…..maybe Santa will bring me one!
Sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing. I use a humidifier nightly but it doesn’t even compare to the Dyson.
Wow,this sure sounds like a wonderful addition to any home and we really need any update
Great to have for the winter
This looks great for winter. Do they have this available in the US yet?
I need this ASAP! Our home air is dry. I have humidifiers in our home, but I don’t really like to use them because I’m afraid of germs or mold that they may be harboring. Dyson products have always worked well for us and i’m sure this one is no different!
I love the Dyson products and think they are so cool, but I wished they were more affordable, they’re way to much money for me!!
Dyson is far too expensive for my budget but they are totally worth every penny
Wow – that sounds fantastic. I’ll have to start pricing it out for our own home!
This humidifier would really help to hydrate my skin in the dry winter.
I definitely need one of these! I like that the Dyson Humidifier uses Ultraviolet Cleanse technology to kill 99.9% of the bacteria in the water.That’s awesome and glad to hear this because we have some mild eczema issues in our family too and I never thought of bacteria being in the water.I am glad to hear everything that this Dyson humidifier can do.
i would love thi in my home, we use one of the bulky ones that has a filter in t and this one would be so easy to move from room to room, i have sensitive skin and my grand babies do too , thank you have a blessed day and the chance to win this great product
would love one, hoping to see a sale. I have 2 older purifiers and in the winter we heat with wood. I think this would be just what I need!
I would love one of these in my home! It gets very dry in the air and it would make me feel safer around flu season!
This would be great in the winter when the air in the house is so dry.
Again, Dyson never fails to disappoint me. Their products are so darn innovative and great! This humidifier really sounds like the real deal.
I seriously would love one of these. I am really hoping I win it, but regardless I know that it is something that is really helpful for people with asthma so I totally want one to see if it can help my son! 🙂
It would be wonderful for the dry winter looming ahead.
This sounds like a dream; I love Dyson products and this would be perfect for the dry Calgary winters.
I love Dyson products, they are way ahead of the rest of field in whatever they make.
My daughter has dyson humidifier and she swears it was the best investment she made,so i’m saving!
