Buy a wicking humidifier. Do not buy the misting ones. Something like a Honeywell HEV320B

HEV320 is the smaller one. Looks like they might still sell them but only in black. At 30-40 USD this seems to be one of the least expensive humidifiers that work well for a small room, but you do have the ongoing costs of replacement wicks.

If it’s for a small room, Honeywell HEV320

Honeywell HEV320 evaporative humidifier. I’m using this with distilled water and went to clean it after 2 weeks use and it seemed pointless to clean it as there really wasn’t anything to clean. I run it on high with the door closed while getting ready for bed, then on low all night. It’s very quiet on low. During the day the filter dries out because the water is used up and that also helps prevent any mold build up. So far this one is the easiest I’ve ever used.

Honeywell HEV320 is the smallest and least expensive one I've used. It works well. I just clean it every week or so by putting some vinegar mixed with water in the tank, placing it on the base (without the filter) and after letting it soak for 10 minutes or so, wiping down with a cloth and then rinsing.

I’ve been using one for years. They work great. I have a small room sized Honeywell. I think it was around $40 a few years ago. It’s only one gallon, so I have to refill once a day. I only need it during the winter, so it’s nice that it’s small and can be easily stored.

When I looked into it,\*\*\* the warm mist are the way to go\*\*\*, one of the options leaves a coating on everything because reasons I don't remember and the other style is loud From memory the other options are cold mist and evaporate. You have to clean it out, but what I do is when I go to sleep I just empty it, wipe it dry and let it air dry. Seems to work find for stopping the mold. Warm mist, you can't really mess it up. I have a medium Honeywell and aside from some mild glitches it seems to work OK. They have a large size, wasn't a fan for reasons my senility prevents me from sharing. No filters, easy to clean \[the medium\] Sadly warm mists don't seem available in this small berg in any other brands locally.YMMV I'd love to get one where like a dehumidifer you can just set the level you want, and is easy to use and clean and a decent size but... well like is a vale of tears. My medium seems to keep up with the HRV in Canadian winters ERV, recovers some of the humidity that you are pumping out in the winter. It's a grand thing, but my father before he died picked a HRV, not sure if he knew better or not, but he died 2 years ago soon after he got it... and I don't want to replace it as the HRV works. Get a ERV and get a summer by pass and you be ballin. All the girl, or guy belong to you and you can haz poland or whatever meme culture says these days.
