Best Humidifier to Replace my Cheap One
Not sure I would put any humidifier into the BIFL category, but I’ve had the Levoit 6000S for two years and I’ve been really happy with it. You say you live in a studio apartment though, so it would likely be overkill for you. If you’re still shopping, the other commenters are right, you need to know the size of your space. Then, you can use the [humidifier comparison tool](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humidifiers/comments/1ffuk7n/humidifiers_complete_product_list_features/), also pinned at the top of the Humidifiers subreddit to sort by models that match your size and space.

Best humidifer for large room + winter use
I don’t have any context for the Carepod models, but I do own the Levoit 6000S and I’ve been really happy with it. I’m so glad I went with the evaporative style instead of ultrasonic. This will be my third winter using it, and the filters last me the whole season (about 3–4 months. I’m in the south, so I don’t run heat as much as someone up north might). I haven’t had to deal with any mold or funky buildup either, which was a big concern for me when I was shopping too. I think both brands you’re considering are solid though. I just checked. The Humidifiers subreddit has a [post on reputable humidifier brands ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humidifiers/comments/1ffuk7n/humidifiers_complete_product_list_features/)and both Levoit and Carepod are on it. That thread might be worth a look if you’re still deciding.

Humidifier that can go 3 days without a refill in a large room?
I agree with everyone saying evaporative is the way to go. I bought the Levoit Superior 6000S last October after browsing this [humidifier comparison thread here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humidifiers/comments/1ffuk7n/humidifiers_complete_product_list_features/) and sorting for evaporative models with a built-in humidistat and WiFi. When I first set it up, my home humidity was under 30%, and I did have to refill it the next day. But once it leveled things out, I was refilling every 3–4 days for the rest of the season, and it did a great job maintaining humidity. For a space your size, I’m sure you’d get similar results with any comparable model. It really comes down to tank capacity and placement. Two units sounds like a smart plan for 2000 sq ft, especially with your open floor plan.
