Canopy
Canopy Bedside Humidifier 2.0 — White
Best for: Dry bedrooms and people who will not scrub a humidifier every week.
Trade-off: Filters to buy and a fan you can hear.
Head-to-head
The two humidifier designs, one each: Canopy evaporates through a filter and makes no mist; Levoit vibrates water into mist and holds a target with a sensor.
The short answer
Buy the Canopy if cleaning and mineral dust are why you gave up on humidifiers: it is evaporative, mist-free, runs itself dry and goes in the dishwasher, at a premium and with filters to buy. Buy the Levoit Classic 300S if you want output, a six-litre tank, a sensor that holds your target and app control at a lower price — and you will use distilled water if yours is hard and clean the tank weekly. Measure first; a room already at 50% needs neither.

When each one wins
The SleepOriginal verdict
Output and price: Levoit. Maintenance and mist-free: Canopy. The honest deciding question is whether you will clean a tank weekly; if the answer is no, pay for the Canopy, because a dirty ultrasonic humidifier is worse than no humidifier.
Questions
The Levoit — ultrasonic units are near silent. The Canopy has a fan and offers a white-noise setting to make a feature of it.
