If you want one you can get locally, check for Crane humidifiers. You can usually find them in baby stores, at Target, etc. The Crane Drop (teardrop shaped) humidifier is very popular, but offers few features. I prefer ultrasonic humidifiers, which the Crane Drop is. Bed, Bath & Beyond usually also carries a variety of humidifiers and usually has floor models running.

I use a table-top one from Safety 1st. Very quiet and easy to use.

I am the gal who bought the Vick's at Target (it's online too). It was $39.99, it is super quiet although the 2 reviews had problems with noise. It's easy to clean - some bleach in the water once a week. Mine is in the bedroom and I own for about a month now and I am very happy with the product. I add a couple of drops of essential oil to my water.

I bought two Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humdifiers, HCM-350 in October. It is very quiet, has three humdification levels, and I like the germ-free mist aspect. Here are some of the other details:

99.9% Germ Free Mist - Kills up to 99.9% of bacteria, mold & spores in water with patented germ killing chamber technology
QuietCare Technology runs up to 25% quieter. Runs 24 hours on one filling.
Break resistant and dishwasher safe water tank.
Antimicrobial treated filter - HAC-504AW & automatic moisture balance system
For medium size rooms

I would have to say that the water chamber is a little small so you have to keep a close watch to refill it. It does not have a light or automatically shut off if the water reservoir is empty, which would be very helpful.

P.S. It does not leave a white coat on everything like some humidifiers I have used in the past would do.

I bought this one this summer at Target when my granddaughter came to visit and I started using it in my bedroom this winter. I have been satisfied with its performance.
