Which brands of humidifiers work best in basements?

Brands such as The Roolen BR01/W Breath Cool-Mist and the AIRCARE 3.9 gallon Evaporative Humidifier, both available as of February 2015, are examples of humidifiers that work best in basements. Low maintenance and an ease of use are the essential requirements.

Maintaining proper levels of humidity in a basement is vital for the structural integrity of the building, particularly if the area is used for storage or has a high proportion of wood in its construction. However, humidifiers used in basement areas should require minimal monitoring, so models with a large water capacity and automatic shutoff are the best choices, as they can be left to run for longer periods without interruption.
