If you're looking to fill your home with fragrance then you can't go wrong with a diffuser, be it reed or electric. Think of a diffuser as a more subtle yet pervading take on your favourite scented candle, offering up a beautiful hit of fragrance every time you walk past.

We’re all embarking on the new normal and staying home. So, when your home needs a little extra love… welcome in The NEOM Wellbeing Pod. Here’s a few things about the amazing Pod that you might not already know.Look for one which draws less than 360 Watts and you will never spend more than 10p per hour. It’s often much less on lower power settings. Dehumidifiers are generally cheap to run. What size dehumidifier do I need? Pros: Larger and more powerful than both the original, best-selling Wellbeing Pod and their portable Pod Mini, the NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe is designed to deliver the perfect amount of scent to an open-plan home, large office space or occasion room in minutes. It reaches up to 100 square meters. It's very easy to clean, and the design features a white ceramic diffuser cover set on an upcycled wood grain base. There's a touch display and remote control so that you can control the mist modes and colour-changing light options without standing up. You can also get it with next-day delivery at retailers like John Lewis and LookFantastic.

Compressors are generally efficient at room temperature, but they can’t handle the winter cold so well. If the temperature drops below three or four centigrade, they will tend to stop working. That’s not the case with desiccants, although they can be more expensive to run. How to use a dehumidifier You can test it by plugging another working appliance into the outlet. If it is not working, the problem is confirmed, and you need to hire an electrician to fix it. Otherwise, there may be some electrical issues in your humidifier. That will be especially useful over the winter months as it means you won’t have to keep your heating on as long to dry your clothes, reducing your energy bills in the process,” says Chris Wood from Aircon Direct.

It may also be due to the poor connection or settings. Please don’t set the humidity level too low as it will turn off automatically or even not turn on. Sometimes, the problem is not related to the machine itself. The breaker may flip into the fuse if you live in an old house due to the high-powered humidifier. Or the cord is not fully plugged into the outlet.

This multi-tasking blend of potent actives and powerful natural extracts works to moisturise, plump, firm and reduce fine lines delivering up to 48 hours of hydration whilst you dream deeply. Ideally, you can expect your humidifier to last two to five years. But I find that some flimsy items can only last for a few months. Therefore, I suggest you get a product from a trustworthy brand with a good warranty even though you may have to pay a bit more upfront. 2. Clean your humidifier regularly Rather than being a compressor or a desiccant, the ProBreeze instead uses peltier technology, similar to that used in some mini fridges, to cool water vapour into water. It’s much quieter than the other methods. Like the DeLonghi higher up, the British-made Ebac 4850 has a dedicated laundry boost function that helps reduce the drying time of your damp laundry when it’s inside. Installing a hydrostat is the best way to fix this issue. Once you know the room humidity exactly, you will not set up the humidity level mistakenly.There are some methods to measure the room humidity level without a hygrometer if you can’t get it immediately. 5. Not level

Best smart option

Val and Lola Small and transportable It’s small, you can take it anywhere once it’s charged up, and change change the fragrance to suit your mood.

When it’s in this automatic mode, the noise varies between 37dB (fine) and 46dB (pretty loud) so I set the timer to switch it off at 10:30pm every night, so it didn’t bother me as I drifted off. The other options, operated by buttons on top of the machine, include adjusting the fan speed, increasing or decreasing the target humidity and switching between laundry drying, continuous or SMD (smart dehumidification). Remember to replace the filter for evaporative humidifier owners. This is also important if you have a cool-mist humidifier because the mineral can go with vapor and land on furniture and electronics, which is hard to remove. 3. Don’t use tap water Humidifiers add moisture to the air to prevent dryness, leading to irritated skin, scratchy throats, and uncomfortable sinus issues. Some people may use a humidifier to relieve cold and flu symptoms, eczema, sinusitis, and seasonal allergies. At 15kg, the Midea is a bit of a challenge to get upstairs. That’s a real shame, because this powerful unit is perfect for bedrooms. It has a built-in ioniser which helps to purify the air and a smart setting which senses and automatically controls the humidity of a room, keeping it between 45 and 55 per cent to reduce any bacteria growth which can lead to mould. To switch to scent, all you need to do is wipe it out with a dry, clean cloth (or paper towel) and then it’s ready for a new mood. (More info on how to look after your Pod HERE).

Meet the experts:

Further research has supported this, showing that essential oils can interact with the brain and nervous system to positively impact your health and mood. That said, Jo Kellet – essential oils expert at Tisserand – added that essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin, even with their numerous benefits. Indeed, Jo explained, “Essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin in either a base oil, lotion, or cream, for example. They are concentrated essences that can, if used neat, cause a severe skin reaction, or over time build up a sensitivity to that essential oil.” Enter: the essential oil aroma diffuser. It’s the setting with the highest ventilation speed and dehumidifying capacity. In my testing, I found it to really work. I don’t struggle too badly with mould in winter but I do find it difficult to dry clothes (I’m a little too stoic about not switching on the heating). With this DeLonghi dehumidifier sat next to my standard, non-heated clothes airer, my washing dried within a few hours, including a pair of jeans and a hoodie.
