I have a Honeywell HCM 350, which is great; you just have to commit to replacing the filters. It's the same model Bin Diving recommends: [https://bindiving.com/results/ew8KGfre](https://bindiving.com/results/ew8KGfre)
I also live in WI. Do not buy any ultrasonic humidifier. What you need is a wicking humidifier like the honeywell HCM350. Easy to clean. Don't need distilled water.
No. they all suck and it is frustrating. An ideal situation is to have a whole home humidifier and just have to keep ontop of one filter and cleaning but of course not everyone can do that (and those have their issue too).
I'm also a busy working parent and just decided to try going without a humidifier this year and see how it goes. Try to see how they do. In the past, i've utilized the Honeywell HCM350 and run what parts i can through the dishwasher and clean the rest as best as i can as often as i can (prob every 2-3 weeks realistically).
I keep eying the Levoit 6000s but i don't have a spacious place and don't have excess funds at the moment or the capacity to try something and deal with returning it, etc.
all this to say, as a parent, you are not alone, it is super frustrating and i wish there was an easy to use humidifer for our little kiddos. I grew up with sinus issues and at this point in my life, i feel like i've tried so many humidifiers and am just tired of it.
Been happy with our Honeywell evaporative humidifier. I’m not sure the model exactly as it’s older but the HCM350 seems to be at least very similar if not the same
I went through three WiFi enabled smart humidifiers (Govee, Dreo and Levoit) and I hated all of them.
I assumed that because none of them had wicks and they were easy to clean and I was using only distilled water I would have no issues. I had terrible issues.
I finally went back to my Honeywell HCM350B germ free cool mist humidifier I bought in 2019. I can toss the parts in the dishwasher to sanitize them, the wicks (use Honeywell brand wicks for no smell) last a while because I use distilled water and it has three modes - low, medium and high. If you want WiFi this is not for you. If you want lights and an app this is not for you. If you want to know the humidity in your room, this is definitely not for you.
If you want an easy to clean and easy to fill humidifier for a small space that will last the rest of your life, buy this humidifier.
