For many, the summer heat continues to show up day after day, leaving behind dry, chapped skin and lips. And with cold days fast approaching, our lips, skin, and even plants will soon be desperate for extra moisture.

Thankfully, there's an easy — and affordable — solution. The Everlasting Comforts Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier solves those issues and more, and right now it's also 36 percent off at Amazon.

An impressively roomy 6-liter tank allows this device to work continuously for up to 50 hours in a space up to 500 square feet. This makes it perfect for small apartments or for covering a key room or two in a larger home. The machine also includes a smart built-in tray that can diffuse essential oils into the mist, adding a bit of fragrance and calming effects to the humidification.

The device is designed to be nearly silent, creating no more sound than a gentle whisper, so you won't even notice it's on. It also includes a built-in safety component that automatically shuts off the machine when the water tank has emptied. The humidifier is filterless, so there are no added expenses or tasks — just fill it up and let it work. Plus, there is an optional night light, which is a great feature to use in kids' rooms or bathrooms.

Once you get the humidifier all set up, you'll be greeted with so many uses. Come dry and cool seasons, humidifiers help keep houseplants alive and healthy. They also keep skin, hair, and lips from getting dry, itchy, and cracked as the natural moisture in the air is depleted. Those who get congestion or itchy noses when they sleep find relief when adding a humidifier to the room too.

Amazon reviewers are loving this affordable home device that works "like magic," and it's earned over 33,600 five-star ratings. One shopper raved, "I am sleeping like a baby with my new Ultrasonic Humidifier. [It's] noise-free and [I'm] sleeping straight through the night."

Another five-star reviewer noted, "I've had several other brands and types over the past nine years, and these are hands down the best." Meanwhile a third user praised its effects on sinuses, saying: "I like that you can control the steam level. If your sinuses are dry, it helps enormously."
