Too often we wake up in our over-heated and under-ventilated New York apartment with a sore throat, split lips or ultra dry skin. The culprit, of course, is the wicked winter air coupled with an ancient heater (with no visible temperature adjustment). A friend recommended the old trick of putting a pan of water on the radiator at night, which may have made some slight difference, but not enough to rescue our suffering skin.
Enter our new best friend, the Penguin-style Ultrasonic Humidifer, whose ingenious tag line reads: “enjoy the benefits of a humidifier with the appeal of a penguin.” What is it with household electronics and penguin shapes? Remember the penguin spritzer bottle? Not that we’re complaining…they are strangely appealing.
This little fella handles a gallon tank of water, and offers a nifty “mist intensity” knob so you can adjust the humidity of your desert-like apartment or home with ease. His no-slip flippers will keep him firmly in place on whatever surface you plant him on, and the silent function will make you forget he’s even there. Though honestly, who could forget a face like that?
