Most humidifier in the mid and large range have automatic setting that you set and forget, so the size of the humidifier is determined by how many trips you want to make filling the darn thing. I find that I need about 2 gallons of water each day to keep the humidity between 45-55%. The smaller ones need more fillings, you might find yourself filling them twice a day. I actually think that the small ones are more mess because you have to turn them over the filled tanks and there is always a lot of dripping. The really large console madels are costly, but easily meet the needs of a moderate size home. The only problem I had with one was the cleaning. It is large and awkward. The console model usually has wheels so you can push them to a sink and not have to do any lifting. The gallon size ones won't take care of any more than one med to small room. In any event, be mindful that these units need to be kept clean. All wet things are areas where mold and mildew can grow. You will be surprised how dirty the filters can become. But with humidity, you will feel warmer, your sinuses will not hurt from the dry air, and the wood in your funiture won't develope huge cracks.Bigjim13 said:
