We use a Vornado ultrasonic in the bedroom, and two Vornado evaporative humidifiers in the rest of the house. One on each floor. I run them all on low. As others have noted, the evaporative ones need regular cleaning and wick replacement. I clean our wicks a few times a season by submerging them in water with bleach to kill the bacteria. I also use a bacteriostatic liquid in the water when I refill it. **You can find replacement wicks on eBay for much cheaper than the Vornado branded ones. The quality is the same.
This is my biggest issue with any sort of humidifier that is barely smart enough to turn it itself off when it runs out of water. They always leave a “mold pool” in the bottom to remind you to clean them out. We have a super cheep vornado that could care less if it has any water. You gotta check it every few days. But it has never grown any mold.
I’ve never heard of a Peloni, but we’ve been using a Vornado for the last 7 years in the bedroom after having an ancient vornado fan that was my wife’s from uni. It’s still kicking around in her office.
My Vornado does a good job, but might be overkill. Plenty to compare that have been recommended in this sub [here](https://threadlens.co.uk/app/r/humidifier?subs=buyitforlife)
I've had two aircare units, a vornado, and just recently had an integrated forced air humidifier installed into my home HVAC system. None of the portable ones performed any differently. I went through several because of living conditions at the time, I kept on upgrading to larger ones. You're going to want to either have an easy time keeping up with the water, in which case you should get the largest capacity which is probably aircare, or have the highest quality fan since it's the only moving component, in which case you'll probably want vornado.
I had the Vornado. Honestly, changing the pads was such a PIA, I just went with the dadarrio humidpaks and put the acoustics away for the winter. Don’t know if anyone had a better solution or not.
I have a Vornado I keep on my main floor in the biggest area. Once it gets going I can run it on low and refill every 2 days at the beginning and end of winter, then refill once a day on medium in Jan/Feb because my old house has terrible insulation we are fixing slowly in time. It's super easy to refill either side tank and if you have softened water the filters don't need replacement that often.
35% sounds like a dream I can barely get it to hit 30 but it does make a huge difference
I've owned both the Honeywell and the Vornado. Honeywell is great if you just want something that works and don't mind dealing with wicks. Vornado feels a bit more premium and the airflow design is legitimately clever — it circulates the humid air around the room better than units that just kind of... sit there and emit mist in one direction.
