The Elektra 5L Ultrasonic Humidifier (model ELK-5LUH-BK) is a large-tank ultrasonic humidifier that adds a fine mist of moisture to the air, helping to lift the humidity in a dry room. If your home tends to feel dry — especially through the Highveld winter or when heaters are running — this is designed to bring the air's moisture balance back up, so the space feels fresher and more comfortable to spend time in.
With a generous 5-litre tank, it's built for longer runs between refills, which makes it a practical option for bedrooms, nurseries, offices and living areas where you'd rather not top up the water every few hours. You can set the mist to suit the room and direct it exactly where you want it.
Moisture control that suits the room
The mist output is stepless and adjustable, so you can fine-tune how much moisture goes into the air rather than being stuck with a single setting. The 360° adjustable nozzle lets you point the mist in any direction to distribute it more evenly through the space, and it helps to keep the mist aimed away from nearby furniture or bedding.
Made for undisturbed sleep
Because it uses ultrasonic technology, the Elektra humidifier runs quietly, which makes it well suited to a bedroom or nursery where a noisy appliance would defeat the purpose. The large tank supports extended, continuous operation, so it can carry through the night without a refill.
How it works
- Ultrasonic misting: A high-frequency vibration turns water into a fine mist that's released into the air, raising the room's relative humidity without heating the water.
- Stepless mist adjustment: You control the output level continuously rather than in fixed steps, letting you match the mist to the size and dryness of the room.
- 360° nozzle: The rotating mist outlet spreads moisture around the room and lets you steer it away from walls and surfaces.
Best For
The Elektra 5L Ultrasonic Humidifier is a great option for parents who:
- Want to add moisture to a dry bedroom, nursery, office or living area
- Prefer a larger tank for longer running time between refills
- Need quiet operation so it can run overnight without disturbing sleep
- Like being able to adjust mist output and direction to suit the space
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Are looking for an air purifier — a humidifier adds moisture, it does not filter airborne particles
- Want a compact unit for a very small space and would rather refill a smaller tank
Pandylane Pro Tip: Ultrasonic humidifiers can release the minerals in tap water as a fine "white dust" that settles on nearby surfaces. Using cooled boiled or distilled water, emptying and drying the tank between fills, and cleaning it regularly helps keep the mist and the unit fresh for daily use.
Good to know
A humidifier is an environmental appliance that changes the moisture level in a room — it isn't a treatment for coughs, allergies, asthma or infection. Keep an eye on the room so it doesn't become overly humid, as too much moisture can encourage mould and dust mites. Place the unit on a stable, level surface out of a child's reach, and follow the included instructions for filling, cleaning and drying.
