This year, I want to solve the dryness in my camper! AND･DECO's "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation" is a perfect fit, even better than I expected

Winter camper trips are a lot of fun, but dryness can be a problem! The FF heater is constantly running, which can make the air surprisingly dry. This can lead to sore throats and dry skin in children, among other issues. So, we decided to bring along a 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation

What is AND･DECO's "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function"?

The 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function arrived in a simple cardboard box

If you drive a camper van, you'll probably have common concerns about the heat of summer and the dryness of winter. I, too, struggle with the severe dryness of my camper van while I sleep every year

My throat gets sore, and my 4-year-old son's dry skin gets itchy. I bought a camper van because I wanted to go out with my kids, but it would be counterproductive if my kids ended up hating the camper van

So, every year I take some kind of measure to combat the dryness, but this year I decided to take the plunge and use a household humidifier in my camper. However, a large-capacity humidifier with a structure that makes it easy for water to spill is out of the question. That being said, household humidifiers are designed to be used in a place that is basically stable, so water is easily spilled

It comes in four parts: the tank, the main body, the lid, and the AC adapter. This makes it a little scary to use in a campervan as water might spill

So I started looking for something simple and small that would allow me to fasten each part together with Velcro from a 100-yen shop, and I found AND DECO's "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" (actual price: around 10,000 yen including tax)

It's compact, measuring just 19.5cm in diameter and 30.6cm in height, and its tank capacity is only 2L, with a maximum humidification rate of 300ml/h. Its maximum coverage area is 8 tatami mats, which is equivalent to the size of a prefabricated house, so it's powerful enough to humidify in a camper

The lid of the 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function is also connected to the tank with such a tight bond that it's practically sitting on top of it

The deciding factor is that it is an ultrasonic humidifier with an electrolytic water generator that automatically generates alkaline electrolyzed water to disinfect. This overcomes the weakness of ultrasonic humidifiers, which are known to be relatively prone to bacterial growth

In our child-first household, a humidifier with a sterilization function is a major advantage. We tried out the 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation in our camper

Recommended points

• It will run out of water in about 6 to 7 hours and automatically shut off
• Equipped with electrolyzed water generation function for sterilization
• Compact size suitable for camper vans
• The main advantage is low electricity consumption
• Relatively powerful with a maximum humidification capacity of 300ml/h

Points of interest

• Water must be removed when driving
• When it falls over, the water inside spills out spectacularly

Main specifications and evaluation

I installed a 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation

I thought about modifying it to prevent it from falling over while riding, but..

The tank has a full capacity of 2L. I didn't realize that the balance between the tank capacity and the maximum humidification amount would have such a big impact on ease of use in a camper

When choosing a humidifier for my camper van, I looked for one that was energy-efficient, had a powerful humidifying effect, a small tank capacity, and had a sterilizing function. Normally, you would look for one that is energy-efficient, had a powerful humidifying effect, had a large tank capacity, and had a sterilizing function, but I looked for one with a small tank capacity

The reason for this is that we thought that with humidifiers with large tank capacities, the damage would be greater if the tank was filled to the brim and a child knocked it over, or if it were to fall over due to the shaking of the camper van while it was moving

The main body of the "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation" contains the ultrasonic generator. This part must also be easily accessible for maintenance

Furthermore, when it comes to energy-saving and powerful humidification, steam types consume too much power, and evaporative types have concerns about their ability to humidify in a short period of time, so ultrasonic types are pretty much the only option. The 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function was chosen because it has a sterilization function, a small tank capacity, and is compact

However, when I actually set it up, I realized that even though I knew this from the beginning, the tank part was on top of the main body, and the lid on top of that was only lightly placed on top of it, if it were to fall over, the parts would fall apart and all the water would spill out. It also didn't seem like it would be able to withstand the vibrations of driving a camper

It also comes with an aroma tray that can be filled with aroma oil, making it perfect for relaxing

So I decided to secure the lid to the tank, and the tank to the main body with adhesive Velcro, which you can buy at 100 yen shops, so that even if the tank falls over, the parts won't fall apart immediately and the amount of water that spills out will be kept to a minimum

However, attaching Velcro or similar would significantly ruin the appearance of the highly decorative 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation. Therefore, I first tried using it in my camper van to see how much humidity it could raise

I actually tried using the "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" in my camper van

The tank can hold 2L of water when full. By adjusting the amount of water added and the strength of the humidification, you can also adjust when the water runs out. However, it's a bit of a hassle

The humidity inside the car rose from 30% to nearly 50%, but what was even more surprising was..

Most people who are thinking about installing a humidifier in their campervan will probably want to use it when they are parked at an auto camping site or roadside station, or when they are relaxing or sleeping inside the campervan

If you humidify the warm interior of a camper while driving in winter, the windshield and other surfaces will fog up, so I think it's dangerous to humidify the interior while driving. Naturally, I would like the inside of the camper to be humidified from the time I stop the camper at my destination, have dinner, and until I wake up the next morning

I usually sleep about 6 to 7 hours a night. If I fill the humidifier up before going to bed and it's empty when I wake up in the morning, there will be no water spilling even if I forget to put the humidifier away

The interior of a camper van in winter with the front-wheel drive heater on and no humidifier. The temperature outside is around zero. The humidity is only about 30%, so viruses and other microorganisms are likely to become more active

The 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation has a tank capacity of 2L and a humidifying capacity of 300ml/h at high humidification. Theoretically, the water in the tank should be used up in about six and a half hours. This means there's no need to discard the remaining water, making it extremely convenient

With this in mind, I set up the 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generator on high in my camper van, where the humidity was about 30% and the room temperature was around 20°C. The humidification rate was 300ml/h. When I turned it on, mist rose from the 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generator

It's said that the ideal humidity for humans to live comfortably is between 40-60%, with around 50% being ideal, but at home, I keep the humidity at around 60% because my son has dry skin. For that reason, I thought it would be ideal to raise the humidity level in my camper van to nearly 60% using a 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation

A 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function is placed behind the passenger seat. It is recommended to place it a little higher to prevent the mist from falling onto the floor and making a mess

In fact, the humidity inside the camper van, which was about 30% before the humidifier was turned on, rose to nearly 40% over about an hour when it was running on high, then rose to about 45-50% over another hour or so, before plateauing, and then the water ran out in about 6.5 hours, as per the theoretical value, and the operation stopped. After that, the humidity dropped to about 40% in about 30 minutes, and then returned to about 30% over the next few hours

The results showed that although the humidity did not rise to the ideal 60%, it was possible to humidify the room to a comfortable level of around 50% using only the power of the ``2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function.''

It's almost full. I filled it up to just above the recommended level. If I were to drive the camper in this state, the water would definitely spill

What's more, once you've decided where to stay that night and parked your camper, you can turn on the humidifier, eat a meal, take a bath, and then fill up the 2L top-fill ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation before going to bed. The automatic shut-off function will shut off the humidifier after six and a half hours. It maintains a humidity level of over 40% for up to seven hours, about 30 minutes after that, which is very convenient

Please note that if you experiment several times, the time it takes for all the water to be used up will vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the day

If you dry towels used in the bath or laundry inside the camper, the humidity will increase even more, making it even more comfortable. What's more, the tank will be empty when you leave the next day, so there's no need to worry about spilling water. It's a pretty good idea

Summary: The "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation" is just right for many things

I set it to strong humidification. The humidifying capacity is now 300ml/h. The humidity, which was around 30%, rose to around 50% in about two hours

It was a better fit than I expected for my camper life cycle

Before actually installing it, I thought I would have to modify AND DECO's "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generator" using Velcro or something, but the "2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generator" works well with the life cycle of my camper van, so I'm currently using it as is with no modifications. This was a surprise to me

Also, with campervans, electricity consumption is a concern, but when running at high power it consumes around 21W, so to use it for 7 hours you will need about 150Wh of electricity. This is something you should keep in mind

If you park your camper at your destination or accommodation, enjoy leisure activities, hot springs, baths, meals, etc., and then get around 7 hours of sleep, the 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function might fit your camper life cycle

It depends on the size and other conditions of your camper, but thanks to the 2L Top-Fill Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation, I think I've finally managed to solve the dry winter problem in my camper. I'm very happy
