8. Evap40 Evaporative Humidifier by Vornado

Do you have issues with dry sinuses, bloody noses, or cracked lips? According to the Mayo Clinic, a humidifier may help. In the winter, humidity levels are lower so it’s best to maintain humidity levels between 30% and 50%. A reasonably affordable humidifier that’s “made in USA of U.S. and imported parts” is the Evap40 Evaporative Humidifier by Vornado.

Vornado’s usage of vortex air circulation stems from founder Ralph K. Odor’s patented Power Vortex propeller design which has influenced modern aviation. Vornado derived its name from two words: “Vortex” and “Tornado”.

10. Vac N' Blo Automotive Car Detailing Vacuum / Blower by Metrovac

We love a clean, professionally detailed car and the MetroVac Vac N Bio does the job. We’ve used weak car vacuums on car carpets that take many swipes of the crevice tool to see a difference—not with the Vac N Blo. With just the main upholstery nozzle, you'll see crumbs, dry leaves bits, and hair gone in seconds. The micro tool kit comes in handle for small nooks and crannies like your cup holders, glove compartment, and center console.

If you’ve got rubber floor mats, after scrubbing and hosing them down, the blower nozzle comes in handy and dries the water off quickly. A helpful feature about the blower is that it sucks air through the unit past the motor, the blower blows slightly heated air out.

We’ve confirmed that this product works well, but what are some other considerations?

Key Features of the Vac N' Blo:

• Compact Form Factor: Many of you might have limited storage space and this unit measures 17 by 7 inches
