There is no such thing as a product that “purely eats dust”. All electrical and digital products must be purchased according to just-in-time needs to be cost-effective. If your home does not have many dry periods during the year, you can consider a portable humidifier. This not only meets the need for humidified air, but also saves space-consuming electrical appliances. You must know that you will regret buying electrical appliances that are not commonly used.
Generally, the main cause of sneezing is the invasion of foreign matter into the nasal cavity, which triggers the trigeminal nerve defensive reflex of the nasal mucosa, and the respiratory muscles of the lungs violently expel air to expel the foreign matter. These foreign objects are often dust, bacteria, and pollen. When the air is too dry in winter, dust in the air in the house will fly, and people will instinctively sneeze. At this time, it is a good way to actively adjust the indoor air humidity, and the most commonly used device is a humidifier.
However, traditional humidifiers are huge and inconvenient to carry. How to lighten and miniaturize humidifiers has become a new direction for some businesses to explore. The MilkBox mini humidifier below is one of these products. . Asking the question, simply use this review as your reference product. Of course, you still have to shop around when choosing.
MilkBox=MilkBox, as the name suggests, this is a portable humidifier that simulates a milk box. The quasi-object shape can give people a comfortable and friendly visual experience, and it can also integrate with the home environment. The appearance score will not be low, but whether the function is satisfactory can only be determined through actual testing.
The compact packaging box has a gray-white-green background color. The white MilkBox body in your hand has a white background + green "trademark", and there is also a pink version. Both colors favor female users.
It is small in size, made of ABS plastic, and can be held in one hand, echoing the "suitable for various environments" stated in the packaging instructions. The "milk box" constructed using geometric planes has an angular shape, and the green label with English MilkBox Huidifier reveals a bit of European style.
In addition to the fog outlet at the top, the only button jack mechanism is on this side. From left to right are the switch/function keys, MicroUSB power supply port and indicator light.
The bottom is unmodified. The humidifier itself needs to hold liquid, and there is no anti-slip design such as silicone pads, probably because of its small capacity and low center of gravity of the container.
The factory sticker covers the mist outlet, and is a thoughtful reminder to remove the film before use, not to touch the metal sheet, and to give priority to mineral water in order to achieve a better mist effect.

Take off the lid of the box and hide all the accessories, including a noodle string, two PP filter cotton swabs, and an instruction manual.
When using it for the first time, first soak the cotton swab, then insert it into the tube corresponding to the humidifier cover, and cover the plastic sleeve to fix it. The main function of the cotton core is to filter small impurities in the water, which is very important in some areas with hard water. It will not diffuse impurities into the air and cause secondary pollution; high-quality cotton core will also reduce the growth of bacteria inside the humidifier. , to ensure that the sprayed mist is healthy enough.
The base is a square container with three reinforced ribs on each of the four walls. It can hold up to 260ml of water, but the water level cannot be seen on the outer wall. You can only open the lid directly to see how much water is left.
Close-up of cotton wick. As a consumable material for a mini humidifier, the cotton core should generally be replaced after two or three months of continuous use. If the water quality is average, it should be replaced in time when the mist effect deteriorates in about one month.
If it is used occasionally during the change of seasons and when the air is dry, the cotton core should be re-soaked after a period of time when the moisture evaporates and dries before use; in the north, it only needs to be used for two or three months in winter, so it should be randomly used. The 2 cotton swabs I brought can last me a whole winter.
MilkBox itself is not expensive and does not come with a power adapter. The input voltage is 5V and the current is 0.2-0.4A. It can be adapted to most charging heads on the market. After powering on, press the power button, the red indicator light will light up, and soon this "unregulated" milk carton will start spraying. Using the principle of ultrasonic atomization, the diameter of atomized particles is less than 15 microns, and it can meet the rigid needs of silent and undisturbed life.
The main advantages of the mini humidifier are that it is compact and portable and does not take up much space. The shape of the milk carton is also relatively versatile, so it is not an eyesore when used at home or in the office.
Unlike another humidifier I used this winter, MilkBox can also be switched to the "intermittent" mode of "3-second interval spray" by clicking the power button, which extends the humidification time by reducing the humidification frequency. Compared with the "direct injection mode", the working time is extended from 4 hours to 6 hours, and the practicality is better than the fixed-speed humidifier. The 4/6 hour automatic power-off function can prevent dry burning and extend the service life. After the two modes, press the power again to shut down, and the three states will cycle through.
Since the water capacity is controlled within 260ml and the humidification power is low, the MilkBox mini humidifier is more suitable for humidification in small rooms. It is difficult to function in a large space, but it can moisturize the space near the user. The four characteristics of no noise, low power consumption, two-level adjustment, and taking up no space may be more attractive to white-collar workers in cubicles.
Summary. During the change of seasons in autumn and winter, it is easy to have dry throat and itchy nasal cavity after staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time in summer. The skin of people who love beauty will also be deeply affected. A lightweight mini humidifier can solve the problem of dry air on the one hand and does not occupy an area on the other. It does not disturb people and can be moved and placed at will. The noise of ultrasonic humidification is below 30 decibels, minimizing the negative impact of the equipment on people. 260ml water capacity, 50ml/h spray volume, 5V USB power supply, automatic power-off for 4/6 hours to prevent dry burning; notebooks and power banks can be plug-and-play, and the cute green/pink colors are more friendly to female users , which is also the highlight of this "unconventional" milk box.
Of course, the limited humidification capacity of MilkBox determines that it cannot be used for overall humidification of large-space rooms. The official data is for use in 5-8 square meters of space. In actual tests, it has exceeded the humidification limit in a 9-square-meter study room. limit. You can still feel moisture near the humidifier, which means that this product is more suitable for small-scale humidification of white-collar workers in cubicles. Another disadvantage is that the outer wall of the container is opaque. If the humidifier is actively turned off before the machine automatically shuts off, it will be more practical to open the box and decide whether to add water when it is started again. If the outer wall is partially transparent/translucent, the water level can be directly checked. .
Useful. Especially when the weather is hot and the air conditioner is turned on for a long time, it is best to install a humidifier in the air-conditioned room to avoid dryness.
A humidifier can make the indoor air better. For some families, a humidifier is still necessary. For those who say that humidifiers will cause secondary pollution, they are actually using them incorrectly or using low-quality humidifiers. This will cause the indoor air to deteriorate and cause secondary pollution.
We recommend Ruton intelligent constant humidity humidification system, with constant humidity of 50%, automatic water change, automatic cleaning, no consumables and constant effect, just add tap water. Covered by PICC, safe and reliable!
If the air is very dry, a humidifier should still have some effect.
When the moisture in the humidifier is dispersed in the air, you will feel that your breathing is not so dry and will feel smoother.
All products have advantages and disadvantages, so it is normal to get a little dust.
As long as you buy a humidifier at home, it is of course useful. It can be used when turning on the air conditioner in the summer or the heating in the winter. It is still very practical.
Too dry indoor air will not only cause us to have symptoms such as throat discomfort, but also encourage various bacteria to affect our health. Therefore, we should also pay attention to humidifying the indoor air while turning on the heating. Because the heating and cooling need to be turned on for a long time in the weather, a humidifier should also be selected with a large enough water tank capacity. For example, this pro-4 is very suitable.
It has a large-capacity water tank of 2.2 liters, which can be used continuously for 10 hours even if the fog volume is turned on. There is no need to add water frequently, and it is much more convenient to use than a small-capacity humidifier. However, this machine is also very convenient to add water. You only need to open the top cover to add water easily. The operation is simple and hassle-free.
Although the water tank is large enough, the water will always run out. However, the built-in double water shortage protection device can prevent dry burning and ensure safe use.
The design of this open water tank not only makes adding water easy, but also makes cleaning easy. Because the opening is large enough, you can put your whole hand in to wipe the water tank, and all kinds of water-damaged bacteria have nowhere to escape.
This machine has three levels of mist volume adjustment. You can select the appropriate level according to the indoor air conditions. Nano-scale water mist can well moisturize the indoor air and avoid various problems caused by dryness.
If you want to enjoy the warmth brought by the heater more comfortably, you must also arrange a humidifier!
It is recommended to buy an air purifier with humidification function, such as Sharp's purifier, so that it will not absorb dust.
Humidifiers are quite effective. But better humidifiers are more expensive. You can collect water in a basin and place it in the sun, or you can humidify it
