Recommend your humidifier please

I'm looking for a new humidifier for my dd's room. We have a honeywell in there now and it's okay, but it goes through filters like crazy and they cost almost as much as the unit itself did.  I'd like something that doesn't have a filter, but hear that these create a lot of white dust and therefore, poor air quality.  Everytime I think I've decided, I read some bad review and have to start all over again.  Currently, my first choice is the Crane animal humidifier, but I'm not 100% sold yet.  Please help with your recommendations/experiences. Thanks!

I posted a similar request for suggestions and someone suggested the Crane one that looks like a teardrop. I looked everywhere for it, and couldn't find it, so I got the Crane penguin. It works fantastic. There were only two downsides. First, I set it too high the first night so I went into Adam's room in the morning to find a soaking wet floor because there was too much mist. Basically I made it drizzle in his room all night. We've had better luck with lower settings.

And Adam is very, um, concerned about the penguin in his room. He's not exactly afraid, but he doesn't really like him either. Which means he cries now in the morning because he's alone in his room with his arch nemesis, the penguin. Luckily his cold seems to have gone away, so the penguin is in the closet for now.

We had the Crane Penguin, but had it on a storage tote box so it was up off the floor and the top of the plastic box wasn't completely flat (if this makes sense) the weight of the water caused one of the feet to snap and break.  We had no problems with it, and we actually went out and got another Crane one - elephant.  Just to switch it up a bit...I think they are great, easy to clean and use.  Now we keep it on a harder flat surface - no problems here....we are actually using it now cause DS has a cold

We have two of the $40 Vicks ones. I love them.

I recently asked the same thing and most people recommended the animal Crane ones.  I got the frog one from Target about a month ago.  We only used it for a couple of nights so far, but it worked well.

Thanks for the info girls. I'm going to order the Crane tear drop. I found it online for $40 with free shipping and the reviews all look good.
