LEVOIT - Classic 100 Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

We have had the same Levoit for about 4 years now, and run it every day once we start using heat in the house. We like it because all the pieces that touch water come apart and can be cleaned, which we do about once a month. We also bought a distiller, which helps keep the mineral buildup down.

I like Levoit as well.

I’ve got a Levoit humidifier too, also live in a super hard water area. I only use distilled water in it to extend its lifespan and avoid having to descale reguarly. I always have distilled water in anyway for some of the more sensitive plants.

You should use a cool mist humidifier for baby. We have a levoit and like to a lot. It has an auto shut off feature which is nice.  If the air is too dry in the whole house you may want to consider a whole home humidifier 

You should use a cool mist humidifier. We have a Levoit that works well. But we use it in addition to our whole house humidifier we recently had installed. The whole home humidifier was an investment but worth it

I second Levoit. All 4 of my humidifiers are Levoit

I have been through 5 humidifiers in the last 3 years, but my Levoit is going strong. I second this recommendation.

At that price they won't be BIFL, but you can still get some decent stuff. Here's some options for the small room: [https://hiarthur.com/?share=32b1481c-32d8-49e0-8920-d721a2991666](https://hiarthur.com/?share=32b1481c-32d8-49e0-8920-d721a2991666) And here's some for the big room: [https://hiarthur.com/?share=af627ced-d4a3-4d79-948e-9673beb00d6b](https://hiarthur.com/?share=af627ced-d4a3-4d79-948e-9673beb00d6b) If you want it strictly under 150, you can get the Dreo combo. If you're willing to spend a bit more, get the Levoit - it'll be a big step up.

I use a Levoit humidifier but I only use it because of my alocasia and lemon tree. My monsteras don’t care about humidity. I mist the leaves every other day just because. My local big box hardware store has huge evaporative humidifiers (much better than ultrasonic because you can use tap water) for $120. They use these wicking filters that are replaceable. It’s designed for a space 2,000 sq ft. That’s what I’ll be buying soon. It’s called Essecks Aircare. Vevor also has a commercial one for about $100. My small Levoit basically does nothing to change the whole home humidity. I have the vent port dumping directly onto my two needy plants. I’d get the Aircare if I was you. A small humidifier is almost $100 anyways.

We have a simple Honeywell one with the filter. I just clean it once a week and never have a problem with mold or bacteria growth. The filter gets changed regularly as well. The Levoit ones also seem to be good. I agree to not use an ultrasonic one. Even with using distilled water, the ultrasonic ones we tried were very quickly clogging our HVAC filters and it makes me nervous to have my kids breathing those minerals in if the return air alone can clog the filter so fast. I could also never keep them properly clean.

I have 2 of the Levolt 2L humidifier running all winter. It's not easy to clean, but it is way better than any other one I've found. I don't use distilled water and I get a white powder coating around my air vents. It requires me to change my furnace filter more often. I have looked into machines that produce distilled water but I don't think they would keep up with the amount I need. The Ice on the windows is more about the window quality, you could try using the plastic film insulation.
