THE HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE BEST WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER.

New York, NY, October 1st, 2008 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of The Best Warm Mist Humidifier chosen from a field of leading models for its superior humidification, air moisture output, ease of use, and features.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are "The Best".

The Best Warm Mist Humidifier increased relative humidity by 24% in 1½ hours, while lesser units were able to improve air moisture by only 13%. The best model operated continuously on the highest setting for 13½ hours before requiring additional water, far superior than competing humidifiers that lasted only 6 hours.

The Best Warm Mist Humidifier can be set to produce a humidity level between 40% and 80%, and the built-in humidistat automatically turns the unit off once the preferred relative humidity is reached.

"Not only did the Best Warm Mist Humidifier increase air moisture the fastest, but it also uses Ionic Silver Technology to prevent microbial growth in the tank, ensuring a clean mist," explained Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager.

Scoring highest for features, the Best Warm Mist Humidifier was the quietest of any model tested, its tank has a demineralization cartridge that prevents clogs, and the LCD control panel allows you to quickly set the timer, adjust mist output, and select a humidity level.

The Best Warm Mist Humidifier is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $169.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
