Carepod - One Plus

We got a Carepod One for our bedroom three years ago and love it. We've tried the trick with damp/wet towels, putting a bowl of water near the radiator, and nothing really had an impact. My sinuses and nose were so dry I was getting nosebleeds. So far, the Carepod has done the trick and is still going strong without any repairs or replacement parts needed. It's a steam humidifier. We get it out every fall and keep it out through the spring. It only has 3 parts. The basin is round and made of stainless steel, so dishwasher friendly and no little corners/crannies that will get gunky. One big box that got checked in my book was the replacement parts they offer. I expect to get many more years out of it before I need to replace the wand thingy!

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 😬

I have a Carepod One and I've had it for about 13 months now. Overall, I love it. Theres 5 pieces total in the whole unit - the unit itself, the metal drum, the oscillating wand, a rubber gasket, and a metal plate on the inside of the lid. The metal drum (where the water goes) and the metal plate can go in the dishwasher. I hand wash the gasket with dish soap and my dish sponge. I gently wash the oscillating wand. And I wipe out the unit. I clean once a week, and it takes maybe 5 minutes not counting running the dishwasher. If I don't have room in my dishwasher, whole thing takes maybe 10 minutes to hand wash everything. I've never gotten any of that scum or slime like in cheaper more plastic dependant units I've had in the past. I will say at the 12 month mark it stopped working. I went on their website, did all the troubleshooting things, then reached out to customer service. They were super responsive and sent me a new oscillating wand, and it fixed the problem right away. The wands have a 2 year warranty so the replacement + shipping was free. I use mine every night and other than the one issue, which was fixed by their customer service quickly, I've had zero issues and I would defs recommend them.

I live in Canada and own two Carepod humidifiers (Carepod one and Carepod mini).  They are ultrasonic cool mist.  Expensive but so very easy to clean.  Worth the investment in my opinion.

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.

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.

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
