LEVOIT - OasisMist 450S

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.

Legit OasisMist works excellently.

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 just got a LEVOIT smart one so I don’t have to manually turn it on and off. AFAIK the only benefit of using distilled water would be less hard water build up inside. I don’t worry about that personally because you can just clean it with distilled white vinegar when the build up gets bad.

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.
