Canopy - Bedside Humidifier 2.0

You want a canopy humidifier. It purposely takes tap water - and you can pop it into the dishwasher to clean it.

Hi, I’ve owned both the Canopy and the Carepod humidifiers, and I much prefer the Carepod. In my experience, the Canopy doesn’t release as much moisture as I’d like, and I’m not a fan of their subscription model for the filters. I’ve been using the Carepod for about two months now and have been pretty happy with it. It’s very easy to clean, but the only downside is that it doesn’t have a humidity sensor, so it runs continuously, putting out moisture all day/night until the water runs out. If you’re in between the two the carepod is the way to go.

I’ll take the opposite side. I’m team canopy. Washes great in the dishwasher, but frequent washing isn’t really an issue bc the fan runs until the well is dry to avoid mold/mildew. Tried the carepod and hated how large and bulky it was (looked like a crock pot) and hated that you had to refill it when it was still like 1/3 full because of how it was designed. And the arm that draws the water up felt really fragile and easily broken (which I’ve subsequently seen comments on). It went back after one use, and we’ve been happy canopy users for about two years now.

I second canopy!!! Love it! We went through 3 humidifiers before finally finding canopy.

Canopy humidifiers! [https://getcanopy.co/products/canopy](https://getcanopy.co/products/canopy) It's mold resistant (all of my past humidifiers accumulated mold eventually). The water container is dishwasher safe so it's super easy maintenance. You don't have to clean it that often. There's an option to also have an essential oil pod diffuser if you want. It's been my favorite so far and recommended to me by my doctor. They also have a nursery version as well, but I can't speak to that. It looks pretty similar.

UPDATE: I ended up buying Canopy 2.0 lol. It’s pretty expensive but it beats having to buy distilled water, although I do have to buy the filters. But there are cheaper offbrand filters on Amazon that come in a pack. Originally I didn’t want the canopy because of mold growth in a particular hard to reach spot, but it appears that the 2.0 fixed that issue? The grill on top is also removable for easy access to the fan, and I don’t really see any place that’s hard to clean. I really do like this one so far as it ticks off all my boxes and I hope it lasts. also: everything but the motor compartment + filter is machine washable. there’s 3 modes, although i do think the lowest mode is not silent but i could sleep through the white noise. the other 2 modes are loud af

Check out a Canopy humidifier. Way easier to clean

Buy an evaporative humidifier like Canopy. It doesn’t create white dust, all the particulate in the water gets trapped in the filter. Worth every penny

I was in a similar situation, and my vocal coach basically said the same thing as L2Sing did in your comments. Sleeping with a humidifier has made all the difference, even for when I can’t control the humidity levels while at work or outside. If you’re still looking, I spent a loooong time sorting through all of the humidifiers in the comparison table that another Redditor (it’s pinned in the Humidifiers sub). I ended up going with a Canopy model and it’s made a huge difference. It was pricey, but for me, the dishwasher-safe aspect was the real seller. Hope your vocal chords are happier now in the beautiful PNW.I was in a similar situation, and my vocal coach basically said the same thing as L2Sing did in your comments.

We got the Carepod 4-in-1 Dishwasher Safe Target exclusive. So far, we love it. It lasts all night, can use tap water, and doesn't have the "steam." It also runs until the tank is completely dry, then shuts off. We've had it for almost a month, running it every night. No leaking. No mold.

https://www.target.com/p/canopy-4-in-1-dishwasher-safe-and-mold-inhibiting-humidifier-white/-/A-91808261 It's because we have the Canopy, not a Carepod 🤦🏼‍♀️ Everything I said holds true though

Had the Canopy too and yeah the output was pretty weak. For what it's worth I've been running a Venta LW25 for like 2 years now and it's solid - being able to toss everything in the dishwasher is clutch. No fancy features but it just works and stays clean
