We have the mini and use it for bedrooms. Generally have to fill it every day because it doesn’t hold much water but it is SO easy to keep clean and only have to clean 1/3 as often

Carepod. I have two of the minis and we’ve had them for 3 years, they market themselves easy to clean (they are) they are Filter-Free Easy Clean - Only 3 Washable Parts to Clean, Auto Shut-off

I have the carepod minis in all the bedrooms. Super easy to clean and zero issues.

I have a small bedroom and I like the Carepod mini. You’re technically supposed to clean humidifiers a lot - like every 3-7 days. The Carepod mini I’ve found makes me the least crazy.

We've tried a lot of humidifiers, and the [Carepod](https://share.google/fmzLLAS2lU8GujIKT) is the only one that puts out enough mist.

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.
