I got the Blueair smart humidifer recently - can recommend that one. Avoid Levoit as their customer support is non-existent - I had to return the 6000S as it stopped working after 2 days
The Blueair Invisible Mist humidifier has a tank that can go in the dishwasher. I've had mine for about 2 months now and it's been WAY easier to clean than my old Swiss-Air one.
I got the stupidly expensive blueair because Wirecutter said it was easy to clean and can go in the dishwasher. But then a big snow storm hit and shipping was delayed so I quick got the frida to tide us over. It doesn't look easy to clean! We haven't yet needed to, and it was cheap enough that we'll probably just run it into the ground. The humidifier didn't stop the noises, but it did solve the congestion due to dry passages. And my nose feels so much better as an added bonus. I'm glad I got the humidifier and wish I had gone ahead and ordered one when I first put it on my list.
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-humidifier/ I just went with the Blue Air because you can put it in the dishwasher. You need to clean humidifiers a lot, and so I chose to reduce the barrier to doing so!
We love our Blueair humidifier. It checked all the boxes for me where it was a top fill, tapwater, parts were able to be put in the dishwasher. It’s also nice because you can control it from an app and monitor the status of the filter and it will auto adjust the output based on the rooms humidity. I liked it so much in our baby’s room that I bought one for our room as well.
I got a small levoit one that had tons of good reviews on Amazon and was very underwhelmed. I had it halfway bn low and high and woke up just as congested as if nothing was on. I really just got it as a temp fix so I could research a bigger one. Got a blueair one and so far it’s working well.
