Humidifiers, any good?

[Dragonfly]

I see alot of baby sites have humidifiers and know what they do but do you really need one or are they any good? I want to know if its a waste of money to get one or not and your oppinions. I have never had one. dont fancy wasting £40 on one that could go to something else if its all hyoe.

Ahh - got mixed up on the humidifier thing!!! I don't know alot about them - wouldn't you only need one if you had a really dry environment? We're getting dehumidifier I think if the 'double glazing' thing we're doing doesn't work as we end up with loads of condensation.

Sorry - not being much help! Hope everyone else is loads more helpful than me x
