Lillibet	Both a vapouriser and humidifier can be beneficial for colds and sinus problems as they both increase moisture in the room which relieves congestion and make breathing easier. It really comes down to personal preference. The main difference is that the vapouriser uses steam (heats the water), while humidifiers produce a cool mist. If you choose a vapouriser, make sure that the hot water cannot be easily knocked over to cause potential burns. If you choose a cool mist humidifier, make sure that you strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning so that the humidifier is kept in a hygienic state. Also, you may want to get a humidifier with a filter so that minerals are not dispersed into the atmosphere. The Ion-60 and Ion-80 are both really good. They both come with an optional filter, 6 litre tank, a few different humidity settings and built in ionisers. The Ion-80 also includes a humidistat so that you can get accurate control of room humidity. See http://www.topbuys.com.au/humidifiers_14.aspx for more info. Remember to see your doctor before trying any products or remedies to ensure that you are on the right track. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
