CAREPOD cube and store bought distilled water. It’s changed my life.
I think we've had our CarePod cube for four years now and it's been great! Very very minimal maintenance, super easy to refill and sanitize as well. You can literally pull the main METAL bowl out and boil water inside of it to sanitize all the metal components.

So I recently got this humidifier a friend recommended. It's designed by a Korean doctor whose kid needed a humidifier, who got frustrated with the endless nooks and crannies. [Carepod humidifiers](https://hellocarepod.com/) There's several models, but they're all easy to clean and the company sells replacement parts for the bits that are more prone to wearing out. I got one of the ones with a stainless steel basin you can throw in the dishwasher, sterilize on the stove, etc. It was not cheap but I figure it's going to save me from throwing away another plastic humidifier after a few months. Also save so much time I would previously have spent trying to clean pink slime from weird corners.
Carepod. It's actually easy to clean, no weird crevices, and you can buy replacement parts. There's even a higher tier option with a sanitize button.
If you can afford a carepod humidifier go for that in the baby’s room. They are stupid expensive, but the easiest thing to clean. I’ve cleaned so many humidifiers that have crevices and difficult to reach places where mold grows. We don’t have a whole house humidifier though, just 3 carpools for our rooms.
Care Pod Humidifier!! The part that holds the water is stainless steel and super easy to clean. My biggest issue with our old humidifiers was that they were plastic and impossible to clean (could literally see pink mold in the crevices) so the Care Pod has been a game changer!
It’s the best!! Yes it’s only 3 pieces total and super easy to take apart & clean. The stainless steel part can actually be cleaned in the dishwasher which is super convenient.
We love our Carepod. It is easy to clean and works flawlessly. That said, always use filtered water in it or any other humidifier to extent its life.
Another vote for Carepod. Love the lack of cleaning!
