Humidifier

Last week we bought a humidifier (kaz/Vicks Cool Moisture, $30) because we've been experiencing dry skin. I think we've both noticed an improvement since we started using it.

Some details about the humidifier: It functions by blowing air over a wicking filter; claims it can do up to 50% relative humidity for a small/medium room. Currently it puts out liter or so per night; haven't actually quantified this or compared it on the high/low settings. Power consumption is 41.8 W (56.3 VA) on high, 18.4 W (23.1 VA) on low. So running it 10 hours a night for 30 days would be 5.5 (low) or 12.5 (high) kWh/month.
