Amazon drops the price of the Dreo connected humidifier as the radiators come back on

Find the Dreo 6 L connected humidifier at €66.49 on Amazon Discover the offer

An electric radiator heats the air in the room without adding water. The more the air heats, the lower its relative humidity. Those who heat their rooms in winter know the effects: we feel thirsty at night, we wake up with a scratchy throat or chapped lips, and green plants turn yellow. A humidifier is used to put a little water back into the air.

Dreo's connected humidifier model, equipped with a 6-liter tank, is listed on Amazon at €66.49 instead of €79.99. The 4L capacity model is also on sale, going from €59.99 to €53.99.

This model, the HM524S, is an ultrasonic humidifier measuring 29 centimeters wide and 31.5 centimeters high, weighing 1.76 kilos. A small part vibrates very quickly under the water and transforms it into cold mist, without heating it. The mist is very fine, with droplets of 5 microns, and exits through a nozzle about ten centimeters wide, rising to around one meter. Dreo announces a flow rate of 300 milliliters per hour, enough to cover a room of 23 to 46 square meters.

The tank fills from the top, without having to turn it over the sink like many humidifiers. Dreo claims up to 60 hours of operation without refilling, in night mode. At a maximum flow rate of 300 milliliters per hour, the 6 liters last around twenty hours. In terms of noise, Dreo announces 28 decibels at the lowest setting, and up to 30 decibels: enough to keep it running in a child's bedroom at night. A night mode turns off the lighting and further reduces noise.

An automatic mode relies on an integrated humidity sensor. You set a target rate and the device adjusts its flow itself. A manual mode is also offered. An LED display and indicator light indicate the humidity level in the room. Everything is controlled from the Dreo application, via Alexa or Google Home.

To choose this target rate, ADEME recommends keeping the air in your home between 40% and 60% humidity, recalls the Qualitel association. Above 70%, the risk of condensation and mold increases: there is therefore no point in pushing the setting to maximum in a poorly ventilated room.

The discount remains modest, but it falls at the start of the season when the electric heaters turn on, when the indoor air begins to dry out. At €66.49, you have a device that is autonomous enough to last several nights, discreet for the bedroom and above all connected. The connection allows it to be controlled remotely if it is placed in a child's bedroom, and to set a precise humidity level to let the device manage the rest all winter long.

However, it has two limitations. It only produces cold mist, while other models from the brand also offer hot mist, but at prices around €100. The anti-limescale cartridge is also sold separately, at €24.99 for a set of three on Amazon. It serves to reduce mineral deposits linked to the use of hard water and limits the appearance of white dust around the device. Its lifespan depends on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use: on this Dreo model, a replacement indicator, also accessible from the application, will notify you of its change.
