I used to use hot vapor type humidifiers. But in addition to recieving nasty 3rd degree burns from the darn things, one shorted out one day and when I found it it was almost on fire. So I tossed those and got cool mist humidifiers. These have changed a lot since I had last used one in the late 80's and now they operate on sonic waves. The mist that comes out of these is a heavy fog that immediately absorbs into the air. The old type cool mist humidifiers used to work on a spinning disk principal and they would make a big mess. Another plus is that these sonic type cool mist humidifiers don't have to be cleaned as often as the hot vapor types. And lastly, they require a fraction of the electricity to produce WAY more humidity. I have one of these per room, set on the lowest setting and they maintain the rooms between 90 and 99% humidity. The brand I get is called "Reli-On" and they are the 1.5 gallon capacity. I only have to refill them once per day.
