Humidifier

[steveh31]

Once bought a humidifier from Bid-up years ago cost me £14 plus p&p went in the bin about a week later.... don't buy them.

I saw Charlie selling it yesterday. Not only was it less than aesthetically pleasing but, with the amount of water droplets it was belching out, I'm surprised they didn't sling in a free pair of wellies with it. I'd imagine you'd develop a damp problem in the house if this was used or you'd lose sight of family members in the mist that's formed.

The one I bought was a rectangle box thing and it was ridiculous I think I confused it with a dehumidifier to be honest in the day used to by things from Bid regularly only problems was a dinner set my mother bought she didn't like and took ages for them to take it back and refund her.

I suspect that many people are more likely to suffer from a problem with damp (water on the inside of windows, musty smell, mould, etc.), in which case they need a dehumidifier to remove damp from the air as opposed to a humidifier (which does exactly the opposite, namely putting moisture into the air to make it less dry). Also be warned in relation to the tiny dehumidifiers that the Sit-up channels were selling not so long ago, because they're only useful for drawers and small cupboards.

In which case you could multi-buy and pay for 5 lots of postage :clapping: Happy days!

Does anyone remember; a few years ago, they were knocking out a sort of glass semisphere in which you put water and, if you wished, a fragrant oil? It belched out a sort of 'ectoplasm' mist which I reckon would have had your wall paper off quicker than any steam stripper. I only saw it the once and often wondered if anyone bought one and how much damage it did before they put it in the bin.

Is that the one that swished around inside the bowl?

Not sure Greg, but wouldn't be surprised. When the 'mist' came out, it looked blinking perculiar.

IW used to feature those a lot. They were called N-Virospheres and were presumably the same kind of thing. And no, I didn't buy one.

I remember seeing one on Bid that spat more than spit the dog!

Reminded me of Grotbag's cauldron.

Is that a euphemism? :thinking:
