Inspired by the iconic anime series, the Neon Genesis Evangelion humidifier is an absolute dream come true for any nerd with a moisture-deficient apartment.
Complete with multi-colored LED spotlights and featuring Unit 01 standing atop the NERV headquarters, this humidifier looks less like a boring home appliance, and more like a mind-blowing handcrafted diorama. Even if the moisture levels in your home are already optimal, the thing looks so awesome you’ll probably want to leave it turned on just to see the stream of mist erupting from the peak of the NERV Center.
The Neon Genesis Evangelion humidifier is available now so check out the Evastore to get your hands on one and permanently secure your status as one of the nerderati elite.
