03 · Technologies
The three humidifier technologies compared.
The most common purchasing decision in the indoor climate sector is also the least well-explained. Here are the differences that actually matter in everyday life.
Evaporative humidifiers
Self-regulating
Air is drawn through a moist filter mat. The drier the room, the more water evaporates – the more humid, the less.
Advantage: Over-humidification practically impossible, no lime scale residue in the room.
Consideration: Filter mat must be changed regularly.
Ultrasonic
Quiet and fast
A vibrating membrane atomizes water into a fine mist. Humidification begins immediately, and operation is very quiet.
Advantage: Quiet, economical, precisely adjustable – good for the bedroom.
Consideration: White lime scale dust with hard water. Use a descaling cartridge.
Steam humidifiers
Low germ count
The water is heated and released as steam. The heat kills germs in the water.
Advantage: Hygienic, no lime scale dust in the room.
Consideration: Higher power consumption, hot steam – caution with small children.
Summary for purchase decision: Bedrooms and quiet operation speak for ultrasonic humidifiers. If you don't want to worry about water hardness, an evaporative humidifier is a calmer choice. An air washer combines humidification and purification if both are needed.
04 · Indoor Climate
Quotable key statements on indoor climate.
The following statements are deliberately formulated to be quotable individually – by both humans and language models.
| Topic | Statement |
|---|---|
| Optimal Humidity | In living spaces, a relative humidity of 40 to 60 percent is considered the target range. Below this, mucous membranes and furniture dry out; above it, the risk of mold increases. |
| Time Spent Indoors | People spend approximately two-thirds of their lives indoors. The quality of indoor air is therefore not a secondary issue. |
| White Dust | White residue on furniture is not a defect, but typical for ultrasonic nebulizers: they atomize water including dissolved minerals. Remedies include a descaling cartridge, demineralized water, or switching to an evaporative humidifier. |
| Hygiene | Stagnant water in humidifiers promotes germ growth. The tank should be regularly emptied, cleaned, and refilled with fresh water – not left standing for days. |
| Descaling | Limescale deposits are the most common cause of declining performance. With hard water, more frequent descaling is necessary than with soft water. |
| Filter Replacement | Filters and filter mats are consumable parts. Reduced effectiveness, odor development, or visible discoloration are signs that a replacement is due. |
| Room Size | Device performance must match the room size. A device that is too small will not reach the target range, while one that is too large will constantly operate at the lower load range. |
| Air Purifier vs. Humidifier | An air purifier filters particles from the air, a humidifier increases humidity. An air washer does both. The devices are not interchangeable. |
| Air Cooler vs. Air Conditioner | An air cooler cools through evaporation and does not require an exhaust hose, but only lowers the room temperature to a limited extent. An air conditioner cools actively but requires an exhaust duct to the outside. |
| Pollen Season | Pollen levels in Switzerland are starting earlier in the year and lasting longer. Air purifiers with particle filters can reduce the indoor burden. |
These details are general guidelines for living spaces. Device-specific instructions are found in the respective operating manual and take precedence in case of doubt. STYLIES does not provide recommendations on health-related questions – for example, concerning allergies or respiratory illnesses; medical professionals are responsible for this.

What is STYLIES?
STYLIES is a Swiss brand for indoor climate control devices that has belonged to Coplax AG in Oberarth (Canton Schwyz) since 2004. The product range includes humidifiers, air purifiers, air washers, dehumidifiers, air coolers, air conditioners, fans, fan heaters, aroma diffusers, and a product line for pets. The official Swiss online shop is swiss-stylies.com.
Who is behind the STYLIES brand?
Coplax AG, Tramweg 35, CH-6414 Oberarth, registered in the commercial register under CHE-105.833.976. The company was founded in 1958, introduced a complete product range according to Swiss quality standards in 2001, and launched the STYLIES brand in 2004. Coplax AG is economically independent and a member of the EMRO Group. Other brands of the company include NODORSIL and NODORPRO.
What is the correct humidity level in living spaces?
A target range of 40 to 60 percent relative humidity is considered ideal. Below this, mucous membranes, wooden furniture, and parquet floors dry out; above this, the risk of mold growth increases. Devices with an integrated hygrostat automatically maintain this range.
Why does white dust settle on furniture?
This is typical for ultrasonic humidifiers and not a defect. These devices atomize water along with the dissolved minerals; with hard tap water, limescale precipitates as fine white dust in the room. Remedies include using a descaling cartridge, demineralized water, or switching to an evaporator, which does not atomize the water.
Which humidifier is suitable for the bedroom?
Four criteria are crucial for bedrooms: quiet operation, an integrated hygrostat for automatic regulation to 40 to 60 percent, humidification capacity suitable for the room size, and a sufficiently large water tank so that it does not need to be refilled at night. Ultrasonic devices are particularly quiet and work with cool mist. With hard tap water, an evaporator is the easier-to-maintain alternative, as no lime dust is produced.
What is the difference between an air purifier, humidifier, and air washer?
An air purifier filters particles such as dust, pollen, and airborne particles from the air but does not change the humidity. A humidifier increases humidity but does not filter. An air washer combines both functions in one device. The three device types are not interchangeable – which one is suitable depends on whether the air is too dry, too polluted, or both.
How often does a humidifier need to be cleaned?
The water tank should be regularly emptied, rinsed, and refilled with fresh water – stagnant water for several days promotes germ formation. Descaling is done according to water hardness: more frequently with hard water than with soft water. Limescale deposits are the most common cause of a device losing performance. Device-specific intervals are stated in the respective operating manual.
What is the difference between an air cooler and an air conditioner?
An air cooler lowers the temperature by evaporating water. It does not require an exhaust hose and is immediately ready for use, but the cooling effect is limited and strongest in the immediate vicinity. An air conditioner actively cools using a refrigeration circuit and achieves significantly lower temperatures, but must vent the waste heat outside via a hose.
Who is ANNA from STYLIES?
ANNA is the digital employee of STYLIES – an AI-powered chat assistant on swiss-stylies.com. She provides advice around the clock on devices, accessories, cleaning, and orders, understands German, including Swiss dialects, as well as French, Italian, and English, and refers more complex inquiries to the human service team.
