Carepod - Cube Plus X50V

I have the Carepod, could not imagine an easier to clean humidifier. A+

Carepod. Easy to clean, you can literally boil most of the pieces and we just use rubbing alcohol on the part you can't remove. So easy.

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 vote for carepod. I’ve had the two smaller sizes and both work well. I use the smaller plastic one on the bedside table and the slightly larger stainless steel one I had across the room when sleeping because it was so strong (this is different times btw, I never needed both!). I’ve had canopy- and it did get moldy. Maybe I should have washed it more than monthly when the new filters came though. Carepods are sooo easy to take apart and clean, every part is cleanable. Carepods are also very strong, like anything above the lowest setting is usually too strong unless someone is really congested.

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.

Sorry, edited to read I returned the carepod :)

Carepod, easiest to clean

I just bought one of these and am so excited to stop having a stupid plastic one that would be infinitely easier to clean if they spent 63 more cents on plastic for the mold 

Carepod. Super easy to clean

I have this and it's great to clean, but the wand inside that activates the mist isn't working well. I looked online and it's not an uncommon problem, so just beware. You can replace the wand for $30, but it just sucks that it's not working properly out of the box when the humidifier is so expensive.

I'm glad you haven't! I'm going to have to reach out to their customer service. I love the concept sm

Omg I got this too recently! The easy cleaning is a game changer. Also thanks for the cleaning tips for throwing the pieces into the boiling water!

Same! We have two, and I may get a third. Cleaning is the reason I previously didn’t use my humidifiers…so annoying to clean!

I also live in a dry winter climate and need my humidifier while also being terrified of moldy humidifiers killing me slowly. I splurged and got a Carepod. It’s super quiet, and every single part that touches water can be cleaned because the basin is a removable stainless pot. I never have to worry about mold buildup. It’s expensive, but totally worth it. TBH, it’s cheaper than adding up all the money I’ve spent on other humidifiers that said they were easy clean but actually were not at all. And today (Nov 19) they are having a 25% sale so that helps

The code still works today if you wanted to order a Carepod, it’s literally the easiest humidifier I’ve ever used. It’s like cleaning a mixing bowl, no reaching around weird things and shoving your hand into a small crevice to whack it around and hope you get everything. BFSECRET25

Little late to the party, but I will say I've had my Carepod for 1 year and 3 days *exactly* and two days ago guess what? Yup, stopped working. They have a 1 year warranty 🫠 I'm going to attempt the support chat tomorrow to see if I can't get a replacement wand thing 🤞 It worked really well but maybe not much of a BIFL item 😬

Here to say - LOVE my Carepod. I hate cleaning humidifiers and this is the easiest to clean I've ever owned. I've had for 3 years. Not a fan of the canopy because of the filters needed.

Carepod because you can sterilize it with boiling water. All of the others get moldy very quickly and are a pain to clean

Seconded on CarePod. As a clean freak it’s sincerely easy to clean.

I like CarePod. The water sits in a dishwasher safe metal bowl and the plastic piece that sits in the water easily detaches from the lid for easy cleaning. I have two and I bought my first one because I don’t like having water sitting in plastic.

I use carepod. Very easy to clean. Just wash the wand and the water reservoir and lid can go in the dish washer. Also boils on stove to disinfect!

I have this too and it is 100% a game changer. I got it as a Christmas gift but I might buy another one for our living room. It is that good!

Carepods are SO GOOD. we have 2 and i will likely buy a 3rd. you don’t need to do the whole boiling to clean thing if you have a dishwasher, the two removable components are dishwasher safe! easiest and cleanest humidifier i’ve ever had in my life.

I have been trying to answer this question myself. We had a Honeywell that was impossible to clean, and wasn’t dishwasher safe.  Those brands are the top 2 that meet your criteria. So you’re looking for a unicorn basically.  There’s another one that has some dishwasher safe parts and very open body that’s easy to clean. I owned it, but I found that it doesn’t last 12 hours at the high setting, which meant our baby’s room ran out and went dry before she woke up. So we returned it. https://www.amazon.com/Crane-Humidifier-Optional-Function-Essential/dp/B07X279GWZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_vs_ar?crid=1CSJFEQDQ095A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YFrEQi4RKkaNKi1vovB8DzP3RmrCu3-Xa_qU7mhz5LaQL5bM5flloFvU1JnTiVQNX9p3vaP7XKVkMDawXXGiE__0F7zBAZa54iytu1DDKOtONFVRsMp2_GD6VRsZnJWwLRJax_3snHOp2tex287FgiYujToIMu_l-kpVMf6gsaEh8aN3tbnCDzpHmxTSkpXB-BnYUKKCYhXBRkpyBDvoDQ.W7z8MVyDhNICS2bStfNXcwVfXigAMcTYM-oHCkEzYcc&dib_tag=se&keywords=1+Crane+Diffuser+and+Top+Fill+Ultrasonic+Air+Humidifiers&qid=1738892264&sprefix=1+crane+diffuser+and+top+fill+ultrasonic+air+humidifiers%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-2 I’m currently testing the carepod and canopy. The carepod doesn’t have a filter need, but it requires distilled water, and I cannot stand the idea of buying water and using over 1 gallon of it per day. Even a brita filter. The whole point is I wanted to save money by avoiding a filter.  So on to canopy. The bedside canopy one is too small and also runs out before the night ends. So we bought the larger one and we’re waiting for it to arrive. Apparently I’m willing to spend a lot of money on a humidifier. Or at least I am if it works..

We returned the carepod. It was too expensive for me to comfortably use tap water and our cheaper humidifier from before either of these two left white dust everywhere when we used tap water. So I much preferred the canopy, even though it needs filters.  The larger canopy lasted all night, a little longer even. We liked it so much that we kept the smaller one for our room for when we get sick. No regrets, definitely recommend. 

I have 3 of these at home and they're the best investment I've made!
