It looks adorable enough during the day, but night-time is when the design really shines through, with the glowing backlit figurine appearing like it’s taking off into space. Not to mention, the whiffs of mist resembling jet engine fumes coming out the back really completes the look.

A pro-tip from our parents’ era is to place a glass of water on the bedside table, in hopes that it’ll improve the humidity of an air-conditioned room. Even if it helps a wee bit, chances are you still woke up the next morning as dry as a shrivelled leaf.
The unique design of the WAMP Lollipop gives a high-tech spin to this old-school hack. Simply pop this humidifier into a glass of water, and it’ll churn out a mist that’s definitely more moisturising than water evaporating from a cup.
Without a bulky container to hold water, this compact, battery-powered option is perfect for travelling, especially for trips to colder, drier destinations.
Price: from $15.90 on Lazada
How long it lasts: up to 5H
Power: Battery-operated
5. Crystal Night Lamp Projector & Mist Maker – galaxy wall projections
Anyone can dream under the stars with the Crystal Night Lamp Projector & Mist Maker, which projects a galaxy-like display of moons and stars up on your walls.

There are 7 different colour modes you can choose from as well to switch things up nightly – including red, purple, green and yellow. Gift this to your little one as a fun night light, or get one for yourself – no one’s too old to love a little stargazing.
The humidifier is said to last up to a whopping 20H on intermittent spray mode, and 10H on regular mode. To top it all off, once all the water has been depleted, there’s an automatic valve that will switch the device off, so there’s no need to stress over potential overheating.

Power consumption: NA

Perfect for those who are downright lazy, the Xiaomi DEERMA F628 is a low-commitment, fuss-free option that requires minimal care and refills.
Let it run for hours on end if you have to – there’s no need to worry about having to constantly lug it to the sink to fill it back up, with its high-capacity tank that’ll last 14H. You’ll also be saved the hassle of cleaning it regularly with its inbuilt UV purification system that’ll zap out germs like viruses and bacteria in the tank with the press of a button.
For more open spaces, this is also a great option. With a relatively high power consumption of 25W, you’ll be able to get water vapour churned out into the air more quickly, humidifying large areas of up to 30M² like offices and living rooms

A good night’s sleep makes a world of a difference, especially as we get older. For all of us who sleep with the A/C on, consider a humidifier with a capacity that can last through the night, like OSIM’s uMIST Dream.
You’ll no longer wake up with that crackling witch-like voice or pry open eyes so dry that they sting, as this churns moisture into the air for up to 8 hours straight.
Instead of just puffing out mist upwards, this humidifier also has a rotatable nozzle at the top so you can redirect mist flow straight towards you as you sleep for extra-effective humidifying, if you’re sensitive to dry air.
Price: from $79 on Lazada
How long it lasts: up to 8H
