<p>I think the title says it all. DD is asking for a humidifier. Her eyes are drying out quite a bit. She mentioned last winter when she did an overnight she thought she would like one, but since she’s never had a problem with drying in AC air I thought she would be fine for awhile. </p>
<p>I’m really leary of humidifiers as I became very sick from one that was not properly cleaned. I would like to find one that won’t put too much humidity into the air and cause windows, etc. to steam up and is easy to keep clean. Easy to keep clean is HIGH on the list. Any suggestions? I did find a small personal sunbeam reviewed online, but it seems as if it’s no longer made.</p>
<p>We bought a small Holmes model from Sears and it works great. It is also very easy to fill and easy to take apart to clean. I don’t see the exact one on this link, but Sears has several.</p>
<p>I am much to practical. I put pans of water under the steam heaters. Usually temporary bake pans work well, that way they can be thrown out when calcified. No risk of bacteria theres no legionairs risk so far.</p>
<p>I don’t have any advice on brands, but I would suggest a precautionary discussion with a primary physician about this symptom. It’s probably nothing, but I always believe in keeping the doctor in the loop on everything.</p>
<p>We use the type that has No fans or motors and uses a sonic vaporizer. We went thru 3 filter type of humidifiers and find that you are drawing dirty air thru a wick that eventually gets dirty and contaminates the air and the vapor. You must continually purchase new filters because they get filthy quickly. </p>
<p>The sonic humifiers (foggers seen at stage venues) have no fan and only a small water filter to control mineral deposition. We add a couple of drops of quant-ammonium liquid (lysol) to the filled tank ro insure sanitation.</p>
