Wanting to buy a small stand alone humidifier and was wondering if anyone has a preference and why.
I have read the advantages and disadvantages of each but I want some personal reasons....
We first purchased a warm mist humidifier. I put it in my kid's room and came back to check on her later and it felt like a sauna in her room. I'm not sure if this is the norm or not. It was fairly cheap and didn't have a setting option...just on or off. BUT, I can see where the warm mist may work better in the winter.
We now have two cool mist humidifiers. Both my kids have nighttime cough issues- one seems to respond to it being on and the other hasn't had much improvement.
But I do recommend you pay a little extra for the ones that have settings like low, medium, and high. Also, I paid a little extra to get the ones that don't require you change a filter. Those bad boys get pricey.
Oh, and make sure you get one with a water tank big enough for the room you are using it in. It's a pain to change that thing often.
