Portable Room Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

The initial cost of a portable dehumidifier and humidifier is about the same as a Piano Life Saver. However, when it comes to day-to-day maintenance, if you place any value on your time, you will pay much more to keep a dehumidifier and humidifier operating continuously.

With the use of a portable dehumidifier and humidifier, you will need to monitor the environment daily with a hygrometer to be sure the humidity remains in a safe range for the piano. The Piano Life Saver automatically keeps the humidity in a safe range for your piano year after year.

To operate a portable dehumidifier or humidifier continuously requires that you empty (or fill) a large reservoir at least once every day. Who will do it for you when you’re not at home? In contrast, the Piano Life Saver’s small Humidifier requires only one can of water, twice a month, in most environments.

Portable dehumidifiers and humidifiers are intrusive, noisy appliances while the Piano Life Saver is discreetly located inside the piano and works silently.

The electricity cost to operate the Piano Life Saver is a small fraction of the cost to operate a portable humidifier/dehumidifier.

The average room humidifier will use several gallons of water per day, whereas the Piano Life Saver uses only 2-3 gallons per month on average.

In cold northern climates, keeping the entire room in the safe humidity zone for pianos results in condensation on windows which may lead to structural damage around the window. Condensation may also form inside the walls surrounding the room and promote the growth of mold and mildew and can cause structural damage to both interior and exterior walls. Since the Piano Life Saver only humidifies the piano, no damage to your home will take place.
