4.557,829 ratings
Fills from the top, so you're not carrying a sloshing tank to the sink and back upside down. Runs 25 hours on low at 28 decibels — quieter than a whisper, which matters six feet from a crib.

Levoit NeoClassic 450 Humidifier

AquaOasis Cool Mist Humidifier
4.3106,485 ratings
A 2.2 litre cool-mist tank that runs silently overnight with a dial rather than a menu — nothing to set up at midnight when the room is already dry.
ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser
4.471,512 ratings
When you finally get the baby down, the last thing you want is a machine humming in the corner. This one runs under 23 dB, so it is quieter than gentle breathing, and you can run the mist alone with the light off so it doubles as a nightlight without glowing too bright.
Levoit Classic 160 Humidifier
4.557,829 ratings
This one is built to run through a full night without a refill, thanks to its 2.5 liter tank that lasts up to 25 hours on low. The 360° nozzle lets you point the mist right where your baby's crib is instead of guessing.
Levoit Dual 150 Humidifier
4.557,831 ratings

Levoit Smart App Humidifier
4.425,968 ratings
If you want to check on humidity and mist settings from your phone without walking into the nursery, this one connects through the VeSync app and also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. It also has an auto mode with a built-in sensor that adjusts mist output on its own so the room does not get over-humidified.
Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier
4.327,302 ratings
This is the one to reach for when your kid is stuffed up and you want the classic Vicks menthol relief along with the moisture. It works with VapoSteam and VapoPads, so you get that soothing scent option the other humidifiers in this category do not offer, and there is no filter to buy or replace.
Pure Enrichment MistAire Studio
4.224,403 ratings

DREO HM524 Humidifier
4.420,838 ratings
If you like knowing exactly what's happening in the nursery, this one has a sensor that reads humidity from up to 6 feet away and a digital display so you are not guessing. Auto mode uses that reading to adjust the mist for you, which is one less thing to manage at 2am.
Vicks Filter-Free Ultrasonic Humidifier
4.518,224 ratings

raydrop Cool Mist Humidifier
4.320,780 ratings
Its narrow vertical shape is built to fit a crowded nightstand or desk, so you don't have to clear space for it in a small nursery. It also runs at a low noise level, so it won't add to the reasons your baby wakes up.
