The Beurer LB-55 is a hot water evaporator air humidifier designed to restore and maintain healthy indoor humidity levels in rooms up to 50 m². Using hot water evaporator technology, the device heats water to above 100°C to produce a hygienic, odourless, and near bacteria-free warm mist — making it one of the most hygienic humidification methods available for home use. It is particularly effective during the cold season when indoor heating lowers relative humidity below the recommended 40–60% range, contributing to dry skin, irritated eyes, dry mucous membranes, and increased susceptibility to airborne infections.
Two humidification output levels — 200 ml/h (low) and 400 ml/h (high) — allow adjustment to the room size and the desired humidity level. The 6-litre removable water tank is easy to fill and carry, and a water level window provides a clear view of remaining capacity during use. Control LEDs indicate the active setting at a glance. Automatic switch-off with overheating protection ensures safe operation. 15 anti-limescale pads are included to reduce calcification of the heating element — important when using tap water in areas with hard water. The easy-to-clean plastic housing simplifies maintenance. Dimensions: 31 × 23 × 35 cm. Weight: approx. 3 kg. Backed by a 3-year Beurer guarantee.
Why Choose Beurer Air Humidifier
- Hot Water Evaporator Technology: Heats water to above 100°C — eliminating bacteria, producing a hygienic odourless warm mist, and requiring no chemical additives or filters beyond anti-limescale pads.

Usage Instructions
- Place the LB-55 on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls, furniture, and electronic devices. A raised position (shelf or table) allows the mist to disperse more effectively across the room.
- Remove the water tank, fill it with clean tap water or distilled water up to the maximum fill line, and replace it securely into the unit.
- Connect the mains cable to a power outlet (220–240V~, 50/60Hz).
- Select output level 1 (200 ml/h) or level 2 (400 ml/h) using the control switch. The corresponding LED will illuminate.
- The device will take a few minutes to heat the water before mist begins to emerge. This warm-up period is normal.
- The device will switch off automatically when the tank is empty. Refill the tank when needed.
- Place a new anti-limescale pad inside the tank as directed in the instruction manual and replace every few weeks or as needed to maintain performance.
Care and Maintenance Instructions
- Unplug and allow the device to cool completely before cleaning or refilling.
- Remove and rinse the water tank with clean water after each use. Allow to air dry before refilling to prevent stagnant water build-up.
- Descale the heating element and tank regularly following the guidance in the instruction manual — especially if using tap water in a hard water area. Limescale build-up reduces efficiency and can shorten the device’s lifespan.
- Replace anti-limescale pads regularly as directed — replacement pads are available separately (Beurer item no.: 162.843 anti-limescale filter).
- Wipe the exterior housing with a soft, lightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Do not submerge the base unit in water.
Warnings and Precautions
- The device produces warm mist and the housing can become warm during operation — keep away from children, curtains, walls, and heat-sensitive furniture.
- Do not place directly on carpet or soft surfaces — use a flat, hard, heat-resistant surface only.
- Do not operate near open flames, heaters, or other high-heat sources.
- Do not add essential oils, medication, or chemical additives to the water tank — the LB-55 is not designed for aromatherapy use and additives can damage the heating element.
- Do not allow the tank to run completely dry repeatedly — while automatic switch-off protects the device, repeated dry-running shortens lifespan.
- Using distilled water reduces limescale build-up significantly — particularly important in hard water areas.
- Do not use if the power cable or housing shows signs of damage.
- Keep out of reach of children during operation — the mist and device surface can be warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hot water evaporator technology and why is it hygienic?
Hot water evaporator humidifiers heat the water inside the device to above 100°C before releasing it as warm mist into the room. The boiling process kills bacteria and other microorganisms present in the water, producing a near bacteria-free, odourless mist. This makes hot water evaporators significantly more hygienic than cold ultrasonic humidifiers, which can disperse bacteria, limescale, and mineral particles present in untreated tap water directly into the air.
What is the ideal relative humidity for a home?
The recommended relative indoor humidity range is 40–60%. Below 40%, air becomes too dry — causing dry skin, irritated eyes and airways, increased static electricity, and making wooden furniture and flooring more susceptible to cracking. Above 60%, air becomes too humid — promoting mould growth, condensation, and dust mite proliferation. A hygrometer placed in the room allows you to monitor humidity levels and adjust the LB-55 output accordingly.
Can I use essential oils in the LB-55?
No. The LB-55 is a hot water evaporator humidifier and is not designed for use with essential oils, chemical additives, or medication. Adding anything other than clean water can damage the heating element and void the guarantee. For aromatherapy use, Beurer produces dedicated aroma diffuser models.
How often do I need to replace the anti-limescale pads?
Beurer recommends replacing the anti-limescale pads regularly — typically every few weeks in hard water areas. The 15 pads included in the box represent approximately 3–5 months of supply depending on water hardness and usage frequency. Replacement anti-limescale filters are available separately from Beurer (item no.: 162.843). Using distilled water significantly reduces the rate of limescale build-up.
Where should I place the LB-55 in the room?
Place the LB-55 on a raised, flat, hard, heat-resistant surface — such as a shelf or table. A higher placement allows the warm mist to disperse more effectively throughout the room before settling. Keep at least 50 cm away from walls, curtains, and furniture. Do not place on carpet or directly on wooden flooring, as moisture condensation can cause damage over time.
What is the difference between the LB-55 and the LB-45?
The LB-55 uses hot water evaporator technology — it heats water to above 100°C, killing bacteria and producing warm mist. It is more powerful (365 watts, up to 50 m², 400 ml/h output) but consumes more energy. The LB-45 uses ultrasonic technology — cool, quiet, and energy-efficient, suitable for bedrooms and offices, but does not kill bacteria in the water through heating. The LB-55 is the better choice for larger rooms and where hygiene is the priority; the LB-45 is better where quiet overnight operation is needed.
