Best Humidifier for basement – Need Honest Advice

Hi everyone
A few years ago I bought a humidifier but unfortunately it is not working well anymore. I even had a couple of mechanics check it but it never returned to proper performance. So now I am planning to buy a new humidifier and I want to make a better choice this time.
I will mainly be using it in my basement so I need something that is good quality reliable and reasonably priced. Could anyone recommend a humidifier that works well in such spaces?
Also I would really appreciate tips on how to take care of a humidifier so it lasts longer and does not end up breaking down like my old one.
After some research I have two options in mind which are popular online and also have many reviews on Consumer Reports,The Spruce,Home Depot

I care most about quiet operation ease of cleaning and how well it humidifies the room. If anyone here has used either of these please share your honest experience. It will really help me decide before buying.
Thanks a lot.

What is your definition of reasonably priced? Your links are not working
When you say it’s not working well, what does that mean? what’s the reason that you think you need a humidifier?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
