's key takeaways

• The Levoit 6000S is available now onAmazon for$249.99 .
• One of the best humidifiers on the market that can not only improve the humidity of your house, but helps to make your heat more efficient.
• A bit pricey.

As an actor and singer, I've always gone out of my way to protect my voice. It doesn't help that I have terrible, year-round allergies. To that end, I use a VocalMist nebulizer and have typically placed humidifiers in carefully thought-out locations in the house. 

The problem with traditional humidifiers is they can wreak havoc on hardwood floors, and tend to be room-specific, so you have to use them wherever you spend time. On top of that, not every humidifier is always up to the task, especially during the drier times of the year, when our house's heating is put to the test.

So, when Levoit shipped me one of their Superior 6000S evaporative humidifiers, I was doubtful. But, as always, I was willing to give it a try.

It took one day to convince me this was, hands down, the best humidifier I've ever used.
