Loving the answers here. had not thought about the warm mist creating mold spores

Warm mist is best for clearing chests and sinuses in my experience

I got an aroma bloom for my son, it works great

I used to have a vaporiser now I just have diffusers with doterra essential oils in them.
The vaporiser worked well but had to keep it away from little people that’s why I changed to diffusers

I use the cool mist in my kids rooms regularly but if they have a really bad cold or stuffy noses I run the warm one in the house during the day with the eucalyptus and set it up for bedtime.

Warm & cold do the same job but warm humidifiers tend to create an environment that creates mould spores with the machine which then can distribute that in the mist. I have a cool mist vaporiser and works great. No it doesn’t warm up a room which sucks in the coolest part of winter, but thankfully seq doesn’t get too cold and I can just rug up more

I prefer warm but generally use it in winter so can give a sense of warmth to the room (and minimises colds etc)

I pick warm steam.It is the only one works for my kids.

For kids safety and walls I’d prefer cool.

Warm steam can help loosen mucus!

My vote for cool mist as my baby is really small, under 6 months and I wouldn’t want anything to induce allergies. With steam, there have been cases of mould buildup on walls, etc. Of course it is great for sniffles but I would rather add an organic essential oil like eucalyptus to the cool mist diffuser once it’s safe for bub.

I think warm mist is better for us.

We bought a cool one and it has been amazing, the chemist told us basically it does the same thing but it doesn’t make the walls sweat thankfully

I think warm steam will be better

I would go warm steam for congestion as long as in a safe spot
