I bought a Levoit 1.6 gallon (I think) humidifier a few months ago to replace my tiny one. It was about $75 on Amazon. It is spaced for 1200 square feet but I don't think it is hitting my whole downstairs. It seems great so far. I use sink water and do see mineral buildup from my super hard water (19) but there is no way I am bringing home 2 gallons a day of distilled to fill it. weekly, I soak with discolored mineral areas vinegar with 15 minutes, and will spray certain bits down with 10% bleach water that seem slimy. It is a pain but something that needs to be done. (No-I don't mix vinegar and bleach-separate tasks)
The humidity sensor is easy to read and I keep it going at max humidity which gets my dry house to 50% humidity. I fill it once daily at max level. If I keep it at auto, i only have to fill it every 2 days. There are 2 models, one of which you can put aromatherapy oils in so if you want something like that then make sure you get the one that does that (I don't do that because it is overwhelming for dog noses to have all that scent in the air.).
The plants are doing great. I keep it near my one cluster of humidity loving plants and the brown crispy bits are stopped appearing on my calatheas, ti plants, and ferns. Actually the entirety of my plants downstairs are all looking better.

Levoit this is all you need. Just set your desired rH, set it to auto and refill every few days

I ordered this back in September and I’m happy with it so far. I like the top fill option and I love the smart WiFi feature. This is handy as it’s sitting in my plant room and I don’t always know if it’s out of water but I get a notification on my phone. And if I’m away from home, I can still monitor the humidity levels and change the settings if needed.
Yeah basically, it's set it and forget it. The app will notify you if you using hard water and it needs a cleaning as well as when you need to refill it. Depending on your fan settings and your required humidity you'll have to play around with what will get you to your comfort zone. Personally I only have my fan on 5/10 because I'm not flowering right now and I only have to set the device to be 5% over my humidity zone. It will also very greatly depending on where your exhaust is vs where the humidifier is.
I've set mine next to my floor fan so it circulates evenly before it reaches the top of my tent and exhausted.

Get yourself a nice humidifer.
This one works with Alexa, and lasts for a couple of days.
I have This humidifier for my birds , I got it to help my bird who barbers her feathers, cause some more moisture can help them I’ve read. And it works super well for her ! And all my other birds seem to do well with the extra humidity also.
I like these and own 3 of them. Last for about 5-7 days before refill (results may vary depending on your locations rH). Ability to fully control through WiFi (VeSync app), on/off and set traps to turn on and off when needed or as the space exceeds or is under the desired thresholds. Also the ability to turn off the lcd screen is nice.
Looking at the price, these go on sale for prime customers bar times. I paid at least 20$ less for my units.
I have a lil levoit one that's no longer available, but if I upgrade, I've been looking at this one.
Don't care about the Alexa app stuff. But it's top fill, built-in hydrometer, dark setting and the other levoit one I have is reliable.
It has a humidistat that connects to an app on your phone in which you can control the humidity level from afar

I've been using this humidifier for about 4 months with no issues other than with a power outage it will not resume humidity control, but you can easily control it from your phone. It is top fill and I have an additional reservoir attached so it will go for several weeks with needing a refill. Watch out for the night light "feature" I found it on the other day during lights out....

You might be able to use that one, but you'll want some way to control the RH (if it doesn't have one built in). The inkbird humidity controller is good for that. I have this and it worked well for me

Those are the 3 I tried before. The vicks one just broke completely, the dial just kept spinning.
Both the toppin and levoit were similar. They both have areas I just couldn't clean/scrub. The toppin started yellowing and having mold though, and was harder to reach even in the water reservoir.
The levoit was the easiest because the whole top comes off to clean every part of the tank, but the base has a flap I could never get under. Then the mold just started growing in a the tiny places of the base I couldn't reach, even with the tiny brush they give you with terrible bristles. Also, we got white dust even with distilled water. I've had the canopy for about 4 months and no white dust, no mold, no issues.
Hope this helps!!
It has automatic settings and the whole top opens, it can also sync to your phone.
This is the best ive ever had! 🤗

Air purifiers are bullshit. However, I have this humidifier and you can turn the display off:
Levoit. Numbers are true, night mode.
The one I have is discontinued, but this one is the one I've been eyeing.
It's top fill, one reason I want it lol.

I put one of these in my drying room. Total game changer everything dries perfectly now.
What size humidifier? A small one. You can get a basic personal humidifier for $40ish.
I use Amazon a lot, so I have this one.
They don't sell the one I have, but this one has what I'd be looking for. Built in hydrometer, top fill, 6l, display turns off. Wifi?lol
If you have a separate controller, you can get one that doesn't have the built in controller, like this. They are usually a few bucks cheaper, but run continuously.
26 comments mentioning Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier,... found across Reddit:
Mine is the Vicks warm mist humidifier sold on Amazon (I think it's currently the #1 bestseller in humidifiers).
I love it. I've bought two (I needed them for two different places), have had them for three years and love them. Would highly recommend.
The auto shutoff function is great! I also run it while I'm at work, since it just turns itself off once it's out of water. I don't use the Vicks serum/liquid vaporizing feature, but I've heard people say that it's useful during cold season.
Whatever you choose, make sure to buy one with warm/hot steam, not cold mist. The cold mist humidifiers spritze the air above them with cool water. It definitely doesn't truly humidify anything. I've tried several of them with no luck. Also, they tend to over moisten the area right around the humidifier (since most of the "mist"/water spritz falls to the ground) and can subsequently cause mold.
Running a warm most humidifier has he added benefit of cutting down on heat costs -- depending on the setting, it can raise the temperature of your room up to 10F (low setting can prevent this). Also, they don't require filters or any added purchases.
Edit: link and auto shutoff comment
yep just talked about it in other comment. it will need to be something like this . something that when it's flipped on, as soon as you plug it into the wall (aka when the inkbird feeds it power) it would start running, and not just power on and go by their sensor/smarts
Agreed. I bought a humidifier for my bedroom during the winter a couple of years ago and couldn’t understand why my pothos suddenly had a winter growth spurt! (We also don’t keep the radiator on in the bedroom.) Now I try to give them all humidity but I think I have to get another one. I have this vicks one which needs cleaning so rarely I love it, but it’s currently out of stock. Highly recommended!

Yeah man I’d remove the dome after it breaks soil. I’m going to guess you need a warm misting humidifier. https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Filter-Free-Moisturized-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=warm+mist+humidifier&qid=1609859161&sprefix=warm+mis&sr=8-3 Cool mist releases cool mist and warm releases warm. I use a cool mist one inside my tent.
I have this humidifier. It helps keep the dry air under control as I have sensitive skin as well and also for those who get sore throats from the dry heat of gas wall heaters. I like this one in particular because it's super easy to take apart to clean out any gunk or lime scale that might get in there because of our hard water, so it's lasted me 3 years so far.
Aww that sucks so much!! I've been having troubles sleeping to, what's helped me is using a humidifier that you can add an inhalant to. I'm not into essential oils but I do notice that I sleep a lot better when I add a few drops of lavender oil.
I grow my Bloody Marys on the windowsills, south west facing, they like a lot of light. I think they like the temperature change through the day and the area near the windows is more humid from the outside air leaking in.
In the winter I use a vaporizer near the neps ( like this, which ever one is one sale that week https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Shut-Off-Gallon-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA )
That doesn't look like a Bloody Mary.
I grow my ampullaria in almost the same conditions as Lady Luck and ventricosa. The ampullarias want less light. I had a lot of trouble getting mirabillis to adapt to the lower humidity, even here in Houston.
I run humidifiers under the plants in the winter, like this one, but which ever brand is on sale when I buy them.
https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Shut-Off-Gallon-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA
I bought this one for a 3x4x7 tent and placed it outside of it by the little window and it worked wonders. I have a ridiculously strong fan so keeping humidity up was a hell of a challenge before the rainy season started.
Check this one out. I have this one (mine is the black plastic version of this) and it works great.
What is your room like? Really big open space with a lot of fresh air coming in or a smaller space with more air output than input?
The best way is to get a fogger. You can also get a 5 gal bucket with a bubbler and a box fan gently blowing air over it
Or something like this https://smile.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1479005951&sr=8-2&keywords=humidifier
You can play with how much fresh are you are bringing in too. If outside the RH is low and cold just decrease intake.
Remember though, your plants should be getting really good air flow
I think the one I got might be ultrasonic because I could see the mist wafting out of it haha, it was ~$30 on amazon IIRC...pretty sure it was this one.
Unless I come across a more affordable cool air humidifier I was planning on holding onto the one I ordered and using it in the garage if I upgrade to a garage grow :)
Any suggestions? This is what I had: http://smile.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420904188&sr=8-1&keywords=warm+mist+humidifier
I sent it back because it left a big pool of water under the reservoir so once you pick it up it spills everywhere. To me that seems like a design issue and I did not want to deal with that throughout the life of the humidifier.
These are just examples. Not really suggestions. I don't own either of these.
If you have a controller like the inkbird, get this style with the physical on/off. This one doesn't rotate tho. There's ones that do rotate with the same style switch.
If you want the built in humidistat, it's going to take readings at the unit, which could be a few Rh off from where you're plants are.. No big deal? Like this one.
Look for top fill if you want that convenience.
Vicks warm mist is the best one I've found. I hate the ultrasonic "cool mist" ones that are popular right now because they are more drying (I tried a few and took them back). The old fashioned steamy Vicks one really raises the moisture level of cold winter air and helps my sinuses! I find I don't need it in summer when it's naturally humid where I live, but I can't be without it in winter.
This is the one I’m currently using https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Filter-Free-Moisturized-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_gZHvFb6HK49G3
I have this one, which I love, but needs some upkeep to keep the element clean from build up. Idk if other humidifiers are similar, but it can be annoying.
I have this and it's worked fine for 8 years. Audible but I consider it pretty quiet.
I have used this for a few years https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA (obviously with no vicks in it) you have to clean it every week or so but my birds had no issue with it.
I've been growing all my orchids indoors in semi-hydro for about a year. ( you can see many photos of the plants here if you are interested http://herselfshouseplants.com/ )
I couldn't find clear plastic either, and most of the orchids need heavy pots to keep them from tipping.
I use clear glass, no holes. ( shallow dishes for phals, deep ones for dendrobiums )
I fill the water to just below the lowest roots, or about a half inch deep if the roots are at the bottom. I let the water dry out till it's damp at the bottom but no water sitting before filling back up to where ever I set the water line for the plant. The deeper the container the higher the water line.
It's been great, I have not lost a single plant and all of them are thriving.
I use a humidifier in the winter, one per ~1000/sqft ( any one like this will work, http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1455206120&sr=8-5&keywords=humidifier )
I don't have them on timers, most have 2-3 levels and I adjust the level to keep the humidity reasonable 40%-60%
I've used this one http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1453472997&sr=8-3&keywords=vaporizer
Any of that type will work, I just grab what ever is cheapest when I'm buying them. Pretty sure they all come out of the same factory somewhere. ;p
This is what I have at home. It is considerably cheaper at Target.
It's not going to have enough airflow if you place it under the covers.
Your better solution may be to elevate it and get a warm air room humidifier and place it on the same table as your CPAP. I also agree you should get it off the floor: air intakes on the floor are just horrible for sucking stuff up. Even getting it 6" off the floor makes a huge difference (ask anyone who works on computers)
If it's still too cold, maybe a heating pad placed behind the machine (not under) below the air intake would help warm it up. Probably go with an under-tank reptile one, as they are designed for continuous use unlike a medical one. You'd probably want to put styrofoam underneath it and some tiles or something on top for thermal mass, and maybe place an aluminum heatsink on top to help warm the air.
I know what you mean. I keep mine pretty close to the front of my bed so that helps. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA
No film or buildup - nothing bad to speak of to be honest. I bought this one from amazon (but only paid $35): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FWXKTA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FWXKTA&linkCode=as2&tag=thdewi-20&linkId=DVT2UGYHWVAKA6WO but I returned it because it was a pain to refill it every day and also the top snapped apart and I couldn't get it to go back together.
I bought my replacement at Costco for $70 but here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENWEJK8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00ENWEJK8&linkCode=as2&tag=thdewi-20&linkId=MG2R4LCCP7DQHA7U
I like this one much better. But I realize they're both a bit out of your price range.
I vastly prefer warm mist to cool. I find that cool mist humidifiers can actually cause me to get sick since they make a room cold and damp as opposed to humid like a warm mist humidifier. My skin feels softer when I use the warm mist.
I've used this one since high school, and it is amazing.

I've been using this humidifier for about 4 months with no issues other than with a power outage it will not resume humidity control, but you can easily control it from your phone. It is top fill and I have an additional reservoir attached so it will go for several weeks with needing a refill. Watch out for the night light "feature" I found it on the other day during lights out....

You might be able to use that one, but you'll want some way to control the RH (if it doesn't have one built in). The inkbird humidity controller is good for that. I have this and it worked well for me

For dehumidifier, this is probably overkill for most tents, but I was having trouble during the final flower stages keeping my humidity down so I put this one in my tent. Been working out perfectly so far:

Those are the 3 I tried before. The vicks one just broke completely, the dial just kept spinning.
Both the toppin and levoit were similar. They both have areas I just couldn't clean/scrub. The toppin started yellowing and having mold though, and was harder to reach even in the water reservoir.
The levoit was the easiest because the whole top comes off to clean every part of the tank, but the base has a flap I could never get under. Then the mold just started growing in a the tiny places of the base I couldn't reach, even with the tiny brush they give you with terrible bristles. Also, we got white dust even with distilled water. I've had the canopy for about 4 months and no white dust, no mold, no issues.
Hope this helps!!
It has automatic settings and the whole top opens, it can also sync to your phone.
This is the best ive ever had! 🤗

Air purifiers are bullshit. However, I have this humidifier and you can turn the display off:
Levoit. Numbers are true, night mode.
The one I have is discontinued, but this one is the one I've been eyeing.
It's top fill, one reason I want it lol.

I put one of these in my drying room. Total game changer everything dries perfectly now.
What size humidifier? A small one. You can get a basic personal humidifier for $40ish.
I use Amazon a lot, so I have this one.
They don't sell the one I have, but this one has what I'd be looking for. Built in hydrometer, top fill, 6l, display turns off. Wifi?lol
If you have a separate controller, you can get one that doesn't have the built in controller, like this. They are usually a few bucks cheaper, but run continuously.
Mine is the Vicks warm mist humidifier sold on Amazon (I think it's currently the #1 bestseller in humidifiers).
I love it. I've bought two (I needed them for two different places), have had them for three years and love them. Would highly recommend.
The auto shutoff function is great! I also run it while I'm at work, since it just turns itself off once it's out of water. I don't use the Vicks serum/liquid vaporizing feature, but I've heard people say that it's useful during cold season.
Whatever you choose, make sure to buy one with warm/hot steam, not cold mist. The cold mist humidifiers spritze the air above them with cool water. It definitely doesn't truly humidify anything. I've tried several of them with no luck. Also, they tend to over moisten the area right around the humidifier (since most of the "mist"/water spritz falls to the ground) and can subsequently cause mold.
Running a warm most humidifier has he added benefit of cutting down on heat costs -- depending on the setting, it can raise the temperature of your room up to 10F (low setting can prevent this). Also, they don't require filters or any added purchases.
Edit: link and auto shutoff comment
yep just talked about it in other comment. it will need to be something like this . something that when it's flipped on, as soon as you plug it into the wall (aka when the inkbird feeds it power) it would start running, and not just power on and go by their sensor/smarts
Agreed. I bought a humidifier for my bedroom during the winter a couple of years ago and couldn’t understand why my pothos suddenly had a winter growth spurt! (We also don’t keep the radiator on in the bedroom.) Now I try to give them all humidity but I think I have to get another one. I have this vicks one which needs cleaning so rarely I love it, but it’s currently out of stock. Highly recommended!

Yeah man I’d remove the dome after it breaks soil. I’m going to guess you need a warm misting humidifier. https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Filter-Free-Moisturized-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=warm+mist+humidifier&qid=1609859161&sprefix=warm+mis&sr=8-3 Cool mist releases cool mist and warm releases warm. I use a cool mist one inside my tent.
I have this humidifier. It helps keep the dry air under control as I have sensitive skin as well and also for those who get sore throats from the dry heat of gas wall heaters. I like this one in particular because it's super easy to take apart to clean out any gunk or lime scale that might get in there because of our hard water, so it's lasted me 3 years so far.
Aww that sucks so much!! I've been having troubles sleeping to, what's helped me is using a humidifier that you can add an inhalant to. I'm not into essential oils but I do notice that I sleep a lot better when I add a few drops of lavender oil.
I grow my Bloody Marys on the windowsills, south west facing, they like a lot of light. I think they like the temperature change through the day and the area near the windows is more humid from the outside air leaking in.
In the winter I use a vaporizer near the neps ( like this, which ever one is one sale that week https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Shut-Off-Gallon-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA )
That doesn't look like a Bloody Mary.
I grow my ampullaria in almost the same conditions as Lady Luck and ventricosa. The ampullarias want less light. I had a lot of trouble getting mirabillis to adapt to the lower humidity, even here in Houston.
I run humidifiers under the plants in the winter, like this one, but which ever brand is on sale when I buy them.

I bought this one for a 3x4x7 tent and placed it outside of it by the little window and it worked wonders. I have a ridiculously strong fan so keeping humidity up was a hell of a challenge before the rainy season started.
Check this one out. I have this one (mine is the black plastic version of this) and it works great.
What is your room like? Really big open space with a lot of fresh air coming in or a smaller space with more air output than input?
The best way is to get a fogger. You can also get a 5 gal bucket with a bubbler and a box fan gently blowing air over it
Or something like this https://smile.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1479005951&sr=8-2&keywords=humidifier
You can play with how much fresh are you are bringing in too. If outside the RH is low and cold just decrease intake.
Remember though, your plants should be getting really good air flow
I think the one I got might be ultrasonic because I could see the mist wafting out of it haha, it was ~$30 on amazon IIRC...pretty sure it was this one.
Unless I come across a more affordable cool air humidifier I was planning on holding onto the one I ordered and using it in the garage if I upgrade to a garage grow :)
Any suggestions? This is what I had: http://smile.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420904188&sr=8-1&keywords=warm+mist+humidifier
I sent it back because it left a big pool of water under the reservoir so once you pick it up it spills everywhere. To me that seems like a design issue and I did not want to deal with that throughout the life of the humidifier.
These are just examples. Not really suggestions. I don't own either of these.
If you have a controller like the inkbird, get this style with the physical on/off. This one doesn't rotate tho. There's ones that do rotate with the same style switch.
If you want the built in humidistat, it's going to take readings at the unit, which could be a few Rh off from where you're plants are.. No big deal? Like this one.
Look for top fill if you want that convenience.
Vicks warm mist is the best one I've found. I hate the ultrasonic "cool mist" ones that are popular right now because they are more drying (I tried a few and took them back). The old fashioned steamy Vicks one really raises the moisture level of cold winter air and helps my sinuses! I find I don't need it in summer when it's naturally humid where I live, but I can't be without it in winter.
This is the one I’m currently using https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Humidifier-Filter-Free-Moisturized-V745A/dp/B001FWXKTA
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_gZHvFb6HK49G3
I have this one, which I love, but needs some upkeep to keep the element clean from build up. Idk if other humidifiers are similar, but it can be annoying.
I have this and it's worked fine for 8 years. Audible but I consider it pretty quiet.
I have used this for a few years https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA (obviously with no vicks in it) you have to clean it every week or so but my birds had no issue with it.
I've been growing all my orchids indoors in semi-hydro for about a year. ( you can see many photos of the plants here if you are interested http://herselfshouseplants.com/ )
I couldn't find clear plastic either, and most of the orchids need heavy pots to keep them from tipping.
I use clear glass, no holes. ( shallow dishes for phals, deep ones for dendrobiums )
I fill the water to just below the lowest roots, or about a half inch deep if the roots are at the bottom. I let the water dry out till it's damp at the bottom but no water sitting before filling back up to where ever I set the water line for the plant. The deeper the container the higher the water line.
It's been great, I have not lost a single plant and all of them are thriving.
I use a humidifier in the winter, one per ~1000/sqft ( any one like this will work, http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1455206120&sr=8-5&keywords=humidifier )
I don't have them on timers, most have 2-3 levels and I adjust the level to keep the humidity reasonable 40%-60%
I've used this one http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1453472997&sr=8-3&keywords=vaporizer
Any of that type will work, I just grab what ever is cheapest when I'm buying them. Pretty sure they all come out of the same factory somewhere. ;p
This is what I have at home. It is considerably cheaper at Target.
It's not going to have enough airflow if you place it under the covers.
Your better solution may be to elevate it and get a warm air room humidifier and place it on the same table as your CPAP. I also agree you should get it off the floor: air intakes on the floor are just horrible for sucking stuff up. Even getting it 6" off the floor makes a huge difference (ask anyone who works on computers)
If it's still too cold, maybe a heating pad placed behind the machine (not under) below the air intake would help warm it up. Probably go with an under-tank reptile one, as they are designed for continuous use unlike a medical one. You'd probably want to put styrofoam underneath it and some tiles or something on top for thermal mass, and maybe place an aluminum heatsink on top to help warm the air.
I know what you mean. I keep mine pretty close to the front of my bed so that helps. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Warm-Mist-Humidifier-Shut-Off/dp/B001FWXKTA
No film or buildup - nothing bad to speak of to be honest. I bought this one from amazon (but only paid $35): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FWXKTA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FWXKTA&linkCode=as2&tag=thdewi-20&linkId=DVT2UGYHWVAKA6WO but I returned it because it was a pain to refill it every day and also the top snapped apart and I couldn't get it to go back together.
I bought my replacement at Costco for $70 but here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENWEJK8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00ENWEJK8&linkCode=as2&tag=thdewi-20&linkId=MG2R4LCCP7DQHA7U
I like this one much better. But I realize they're both a bit out of your price range.
I vastly prefer warm mist to cool. I find that cool mist humidifiers can actually cause me to get sick since they make a room cold and damp as opposed to humid like a warm mist humidifier. My skin feels softer when I use the warm mist.
I've used this one since high school, and it is amazing.
