5 Reasons the $500 Dyson AM10 Humidifier Is #WorthIt

Yahoo Decor Contributors

Purchasing a humidifier can be like navigating a minefield of issues. What’s the difference between warm and cool mist? How noisy is it? Will it create condensation? The list goes on.

But the Dyson AM10 Humidifier—launched just three months ago—is the answer to all your dry air woes. Although, at $499, it’s significantly more expensive than the average humidifier. So what exactly warrants the heftier price tag?

Dyson is basically the Apple of home appliances with equal parts brilliant function and design. Its vacuum cleaners are not only beautiful, they’re extremely user friendly and easy to clean, and this humidifier is no exception.

As with the vacuum cleaners, there are no finicky bits, just three pieces that click easily and quickly together and release just as easily with the push of a button. The water tank has a handle attached so it’s easy to carry from the sink after refills

While the design is slick and modern, the Dyson’s biggest bragging rights go to air quality. This machine emits just the right amount of moisture, and while other, lesser models are known to breed bacteria, this one actually kills 99% using ultra violet cleaning technology. If you close your eyes, it almost makes your stuffy apartment feel like sitting in the midst of fresh, clean mountain air. When you wake in the morning, your nasal passage won’t be dry and your skin won’t be flaky or itchy.

Another bonus? No complicated settings or programming. It gives the option for the machine to automatically do it for you, measuring moisture in the air (or lack thereof) and adjusts by itself to create optimal conditions.

Lastly, while a major concern with humidifiers is the bubbling sound they make, the Dyson AM10 is so silent the only sound you hear is the soft humming of the fan. It runs for 18 hours before requiring a refill (when the water runs out it automatically shuts off) plus it has a sleep timer and (joy!) a remote control.
