Definition
加湿器 is a device that adds moisture to the air, commonly used in dry climates or during winter heating. Note that the English gloss 'moisturizer' is misleading — a 加湿器 is a humidifier (an appliance), not a skincare moisturizer cream (which is 保湿霜 in Chinese). Keep this distinction in mind when translating.
n.
humidifier (device that increases air humidity)
