Soothing Comfort Warm Mist Tabletop Humidifier (HWM845, HWM845B, HWM845BR1)

Warm mist humidifiers are best, IMO. Also the least expensive. Here’s one at Canadian Tire: https://canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/honeywell-warm-mist-hwm845wc-soothing-comfort-air-humidifier-with-cup-white-grey-1g-0435814p.html

I have this one and it’s excellent, took my bedroom from 25% to +40% pretty fast

We have had an ugly (well, just not cute, it’s a black cube basically) but it’s like 1-1.5 ish gallons Honeywell one for ~5 years and it’s been working great! I’ve had to clean it a couple times are you would expect to but I just left the tank off and filled it up under the bath tub faucet and it goes all night Edit, I found it for $35 at Target!

i have the honeywell warm mist model HWM845 . it comes apart nicely no tools required, and puts back together quick i use my brita filter water from my sink to fill it. so i can space cleanings out. when i do clean it i use a baby bottle brush to get in the small spaces.

After years of cool mist I switched to warm mist ( sometimes referred to as a vaporizer) I currently have 2 Honeywell HWM845. I don't use distilled. But I use filtered tap ( fill the container with my britta filter attached to my faucet) cost of each unit was approx $35. These are table top sized 1 gallon units. I don't use them on a table. I have them on the floor. My dogs leave them alone and I don't have smaller humans that can't read caution hot! signs that are plastered on it. Besides the gurgle of the tank emptying into the machine, it is quiet. They don't have the huge nightlight type of lights . It has a small sized (smaller than a penny sized) green light to tell you it's going and a red same sized light to tell you, you need to fill it. It won't talk to your phone or your alexa, but they are awesome workaholic machines. Although instructions say weekly cleaning with the filtered water I go every other week. But in the past I've had models I've cleaned yearly and they were work horses. No tools needed to dismantle. I like not needing to hunt down filters and buy extra stuff . and I usually run vinegar through it twice a year. Helping it to stay clean and descale places I can't see or reach.  They are bottom fill and it has a tank handle. I sought that feature out as me carrying around an open pitcher of water is a bad idea. These replaced 2 Sunbeam 1 gallon machines that finally died last year after 10 years. Hoping to get a few years out of them.  Yes things can be said for wasted energy and all that but in looking at my bill I don't see a difference. Mine run almost constantly during winter months and are off unless there's a sickness in the summer months. Only issue I've found is it is powerful on the high setting and can make the nearest window dewy. So I run it on low. 

i have this one. the only part i cant put in the dishwasher is the tower. . i have it in black. the base and the grey part separate and go on top rack, theres a red piece on the bottom of the tower, that goes in the top rack and the cover for the water tank. the water tank goes in the bottom rack. the tower gets cleaned out with dawn and hot water 1st with a baby bottle brush and then rinsed then i swish vinegar around with the brush and rinse.

I used both a Honeywell hwm440 and hwm845 (one is larger capacity/different design). As for mineral build up, you can buy citric acid for pretty cheap. Drop a teaspoon in the water and it will all fall out after soaking for 10 min and you can dump that water.
