I just want a room humidifier. I've tried both cool and warm mist, and I like 
the warm mist better. 

I am leaning towards electric hot plate + kettle. I have no reason to be 
suspicious of the safety of hot plates, except scary stories from landlords 
in my distant past. Thoughts anyone? Other than "don't fall on it when you're 
stumbling around all sleepy in the dark on the way to the bathroom". :)
