battle of the cool mist humidifiers
2025 Jul 29

I said in the quest for a humidifier that doesn't suck that I would list off the other humidifiers I tried out, so here it is. Money was spent on all this, so if you're looking to get a humidifier or replace one, this will give you some good insight on what NOT to buy.
