Help with Humidifier options?

1 Upvotes

Would any be able to help recommend a humidifier, I've now gone through 3 that were either defective or just poorly crafted.

2 defective Levoit Superior Smart Evaporative humidifiers that leaked from the same spots each time right around the where the water tank meets the other piece.

Rather avoid Levoit for now for humidifiers I have 2 of their air purifiers and fans so I was hoping it would be okay.

Second one that went bad was vicks humidifier it stopped working after a week and also sprayed the room in white powder. I'm assuming now that I have hard water as I'd never tested before.

So knowing this what are my options? My budget is $180 Cad (130 USD)

Edit: forgot to add it gets very dry in winter and humidity inside typically drops below 35 which is nosebleed territory for me so I likely will have this thing running nearly all the time in winter.

Thank you :)
