"The self cleaning rollers are the highest selling point for me (every vacuum I ever owned before this broke because I couldn’t keep up on the hair wrapped around the brush)"
"It has a little comb inside that basically stops all hair tangles around the roller"
"The single only humidifier thats easy to keep clean since the important part is dishwasher safe."

"Hooked it up to a smart plug, made a generic hygrostat entity in homeassistant (mostly so I can more easily manage it), and it's working great. I no longer wake up feeling like a skeleton lol"
"easily gets me up to 40 - 45 %."
"for the last 3 days it has put 18 gallons of water into the air in my home and increased the humidity from low 20's to 40%. Not just one room either, my whole home."

"It won't get nasty, you don't need to replace any paper filters, it doesn't get mildew or messy gross like ultrasonic."

FutureOk225 0.5Had the Canopy too and yeah the output was pretty weak. For what it's worth I've been running a Venta LW25 for like 2 years now and it's solid - being able to toss everything in the dishwasher is clutch. No fancy features but it just works and stays clean
SnackOnMars 0.5I’ve had good luck with the Venta LW25 airwasher for a similar sized space. It’s pricey up front but it’s built like a tank, easy to clean and has no filters to replace. Mine’s been running every winter for about 5 years with zero issues. It’s not silent but the low setting is pretty quiet.
Tara-BuyMeOnce-CEO 0.5I feel your pain on the Blueair pump. Sealed mechanisms are a nightmare because you can't mechanically scrub the bio-film out of the impeller housing. Unfortunately, the "Unicorn" you are looking for (Evaporative + UV + Dishwasher Safe) doesn't exist yet. The electronics required for UV and Auto Dry mean you can't submerge the base unit in a dishwasher. You have to choose one path: * **True BIFL (Dishwasher Safe):** Look at the **Venta LW25** (or LW45). It is incredibly simple - no wicks, no pumps, no filters. You can throw the entire lower housing and disk stack into the dishwasher. It lacks UV, but it's physically cleaner because you can scrub every inch of it. * **Sterilization (Boilable):** If you are open to ultrasonic, the **Carepod** uses a stainless steel tank that you can actually boil on the stove to sterilize.
WordAlternative365 0.5For a space that big in the winter, Id recommend the Venta LW25. its made for continuous use, has a 2 gallon tank, and doesn't need constant scrubbing since it uses rotating discs instead of filters. Its a little pricey, but for a large living room it would be worth it imo. You can find some good options [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/user/SecureRich1212/comments/1nvesr8/the_best_humidifiers/)
KindFortress 0.3Venta makes amazing quiet humidifiers. I suggest getting the no-frills version and plugging it into a $25 humidistat. That machine will last forever, no need to get one with digital controls that will eventually break
Yup, plus great customer support, and it's so quiet!
AccomplishedBus81 0.1Venta branded humidifiers are great
awoodby 0.1Look up the venta humidifier. It spins a plastic cylinder of disks slowly and blows air over it. I got mine shipped from home depot but Amazon has them too. Get that and a bottle of steramine tablets. Put a half in once a month or two when you clean it. It won't get nasty, you don't need to replace any paper filters, it doesn't get mildew or messy gross like ultrasonic. And seems well built enough to actually be bifl.
benjhg13 0.1Get a Venta Humidifier, it's uses evaporation instead of the usual ultrasonic humidifier (which can be harmful). It's pricier but way easier to clean and maintain and last a long time.
BrooklynPk 0.1I use a Venta and I’m happy with it. Yes it’s marketed as an air purifier, but I have a coway air purifier that I run all the time anyway.
cndkrick 0.1When you’ve made it to buyitforlife- asking for functionality over aesthetics. “Please excuse the large window unit sitting on the floor in the middle of the walkway in my bedroom”
