Rako Air Humidifier

Not every piece has to be a statement. Rako Air Humidifier is the sort of thing you stop noticing after a week, in the best sense.

It works in a hallway, on a bedroom shelf or beside a sofa, and it is light enough to move when you rearrange. The finish is deliberately plain, so it does not fight with a patterned rug or a busy wall.

What makes the difference

• Quiet running. Low enough to leave on while you sleep or work.
• Runs dry safely. Switches itself off when the water is gone.
• Easy to fill. Wide opening, so filling and emptying is not a job.

In the box

One diffuser, packed with the fittings needed to set it up.

Using it

Charge it fully before first use. A full charge from empty takes a few hours; after that a top-up every week or so is enough for normal use.

Use tap water unless your area is very hard, in which case filtered water keeps the inside clear for longer. Empty it if you are leaving it for more than a couple of days.

Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it off. Avoid scouring pads and anything abrasive, which will dull the finish.

Good to know

Ships free across the UK and comes with 30 days to change your mind.
