My bedroom gets quite dry at night and I’ve been waking up with a dry throat for the past week. The humidifier I had been using started making weird noises and became such a pain to clean so I chucked it and began looking at humidifiers on Alibaba but I have become a bit overwhelmed by the many options available on there.

Each model seems to have completely different reviews, one person says it’s amazing and quiet, another says it leaks everywhere or grows mold instantly. This has made me somewhat hesitant to buy just based off of reviews and I do not consider replacing the previous one with something similar or from the same brand.

Even so, I’m less worried about finding the “best” one and more focused on avoiding a terrible one. I just want something affordable, and reasonably long lasting. At this point, a comfortable bedroom without constant refilling or scrubbing of the thing is a luxury that would do wonders for my sleep. 

For you guys who’ve owned one for a while, what actually held up well over time without becoming annoying to maintain?
