"You only have to clean it every ~10 days. ... Dishwasher safe. ... Literally a plastic box with no nooks or crannies."
"No wick and you can throw the pieces (without the motor) in the dishwasher - so no mold issues."

"It’s basically a humidifier that also ‘washes’ the air, it traps a lot of dust an fine particles, without the use of filters (which is nice, because replacing them sucks)."

"Get a Venta Humidifier, it's uses evaporation instead of the usual ultrasonic humidifier (which can be harmful)."

Venta makes amazing quiet humidifiers. I suggest getting the no-frills version and plugging it into a $25 humidistat. That machine will last forever, no need to get one with digital controls that will eventually break
r/BuyItForLife • Best HUMIDIFIER you'll recommend that really works well in long-term use? ->If money is no object, Venta filterless humidifier (german). Clean out the bottom once or twice a year. No dumb reoccurring filter purchases. [https://www.venta-air.com/en\_us/product-category/humidifiers/](https://www.venta-air.com/en_us/product-category/humidifiers/)
r/BuyItForLife • Can anyone recommend a humidifier that’s actually easy to clean? ->Venta branded humidifiers are great
r/BuyItForLife • Room Humidifier Recommendations ->Venta. Made in Germany, is easy to maintain, and there's a model that has a built in humidistat.
r/BuyItForLife • Best humidifier? Enough for a regular size bedroom. ->Look up the venta humidifier. It spins a plastic cylinder of disks slowly and blows air over it. I got mine shipped from home depot but Amazon has them too. Get that and a bottle of steramine tablets. Put a half in once a month or two when you clean it. It won't get nasty, you don't need to replace any paper filters, it doesn't get mildew or messy gross like ultrasonic. And seems well built enough to actually be bifl.
r/BuyItForLife • humidifier recommendations? ->Get a Venta Humidifier, it's uses evaporation instead of the usual ultrasonic humidifier (which can be harmful). It's pricier but way easier to clean and maintain and last a long time.
r/AirQuality • Just found out that this is the humidifier I’ve been using to help me breathe after sinus surgery… ->When you’ve made it to buyitforlife- asking for functionality over aesthetics. “Please excuse the large window unit sitting on the floor in the middle of the walkway in my bedroom”
r/BuyItForLife • do all humidifiers suck?? need recs for one that’ll actually survive the winter ->Yes. I run my Venta with distilled only. I make my own distilled was with a Vevor distiller bit of a pain but better then buying. I wash out the distiller with just plain white vinager every 2 weeks to remove build up.
r/BuyItForLife • do all humidifiers suck?? need recs for one that’ll actually survive the winter ->Using a venta airwasher for 21 years now. Had to replace clutch about five years ago
r/BuyItForLife • Modern Humidifier Theory- why they will never be BIFL ->Venta. No wick and you can throw the pieces (without the motor) in the dishwasher - so no mold issues. No heat - so lower energy usage. Evaporative - so no particulate issues like the ultrasonics. I’m surprised this design isn’t more common.
