In today’s post, I am testing an air humidifier from the Polish manufacturer Transa Electronics. How does it perform in practice, and is it worth buying? I purchased the humidifier with my own money for 50 EUR.
First Impressions
The air humidifier comes in two colors—black and white. It has a matte finish, which fits most rooms and looks aesthetically pleasing. The device consists of three parts—the base with a touch screen, the main tank, and a lid with directional nozzles. You can fill the water in two ways: by removing the lid, which is quicker, or by carefully pouring it on the top cover. Be careful not to spill water outside the device or accidentally pour it into the nozzle that emits mist.
The tank has a capacity of 4.8 liters, which is a very practical solution, as it holds a good amount, so you don’t have to refill it frequently. It also has a handle for easy removal and transport. One side features a transparent water level indicator, which is subtly illuminated.
Mist Power
The manufacturer claims that this humidifier can efficiently provide adequate humidity in rooms up to 25 square meters. You can adjust the mist intensity using a rotating nozzle, allowing you to set its direction within a 360-degree range. Closing one of the two nozzles further strengthens the mist stream.
At the bottom of the device, there is a large digital display illuminated in white. There are six buttons in the form of icons. These allow you to choose between three mist intensity levels, set automatic shutdown between 2 and 24 hours (in two-hour increments), and activate sleep mode, which turns off all lighting so it won’t disturb you at night. There’s also an LED light for soft illumination of the water level indicator and a hygrometer that shows the current air humidity percentage. You can set the maximum air humidity level between 55% and 90% (in 5% increments).
It’s also worth mentioning the anti-slip rubber feet, the water level sensor that turns off the humidifier if the water level gets too low, and a special pull-out drawer hiding a sponge for aromatherapy.
Humidifier in Practice
I like the appearance of this device—it fits different room designs. Preparing the device for operation is very easy, involving just inserting the filter and adding water. Initially, I had a problem because the mist didn’t come out at all, even in full humidification mode. Only after several minutes did a very fine mist start to come out. After a few hours, the humidifier kicked into gear, releasing a large stream of water vapor. As you can see in the video—it looks really impressive! What I also liked is the relatively low noise level of the humidifier. You’ll hear it in a small bedroom, but it didn’t bother me at all—it’s not too loud, and the sound is not annoying.
What I Didn’t Like
I would point out two issues. The hygrometer is poorly placed and shows highly exaggerated results. I tested this humidifier alongside several regular hygrometers, and the Transa Electronics device consistently overestimated the measurement by up to 20%. It’s important to keep this in mind when using the built-in hygrometer for settings. The second issue I didn’t like was the lighting. In the promotional photos, the lighting is very intense—the water level indicator and the nozzle shine brightly. However, the light is mainly visible in the dark, as it’s so faint during the day that you can barely see it. I also miss the ability to control the humidifier via a smartphone (e.g., through the Tuya app), as there’s no remote control included either.
