I have a Levoit humidifier--don't remember where I bought it.  I use it in our 150 sq. ft. bedroom and I'm happy with it.  I also see HSN is selling a Hunter ultrasonic humidifier for $40.  I have it in my "favorites" list.  I see that Amazon is also selling it for that price.

I bought an extra large one by Vornado that works well in my family room. Got it on Amazon - per a rec from a friend of mine.

Why not put a simmer pot on your stove and add cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, citrus peels, etc. to add both scent and moisture?  That's what I'm doing to help with dry, stuffy noses and static electricity.

I use a Sunbeam - Health at Home' found in any big box store or Amazon.

It requires no filter (I use distilled water) and doesn't make a mess with 'spitting' water.

ETA: It takes 1 gallon and that lasts thru the day and most of the night. I've had it for years, so it does hold up.

When I need more humidity in my house, I run two large Air Innovations humidifiers and sometimes I boil water on my stove until my humidity gauge gets up to at least 40%.

Air Innovations humidifiers have a permanent filter. You do not need to replace it. Just rinse it out once in a while.

@RedTop , that's what I do! Love the smell of those simmering on the stove all day. When I was growing up, we had a big freestanding heat source, I don't even know what they call them or if they're even available now. My mother kept a metal bowl on top where the vents were and the moisture from that would keep the house humidified (is that a word?) I live on the coast so we have lots of humidity in the air, except when our temps are low like they are now, so I've never had a need for an individual humidifier; the stovetop pot works very well for me. I'm in a ranch house, single level, so it suits my needs. Guess if you have a big house with multiple stories, it wouldn't work as well.

I would think that having your stove top on all day,would be expensive.

I just recently bought this Air Innovations (my second one but different kind) humidifier. It sure puts out a lot of humidity and for a good length of time, too.

From Amazon $108. Top rated.
