Ultrasonic cool mist humidifier recommendation for 8x12 room

So I keep my 4x4 flower and 4x4 veg tent in the same room. The room is 8ftx12ft. I need a humidifier that will keep my room around 60rh which I believe would be acceptable for both flower and veg. I have an Inkbird humidity controller and would like it to be compatible with it. Could someone recommend a solid Humidifier that meets these qualifications? Would one of the below work for my area and the inkbird? Thanks dudes!

I use one like that in my 2x6x8 flower room with constant ventilation. Not in the room though as it got the plants wet. It feeds into the room intake air. But it was too small for the 3x3x5' tent with constant ventilation. I would get two of them for your room. That's a lot of demineralized water. Mine used about 3/4 gallon a day at about 3/4 output.

You need a humidifier for both... because there are varying level of RH as indicated here.

If you actually need a big one, look for one that plumbs in. If the discs can be changed, that is better still.

The small ultrasonic need cleaned every fill too. I use rain water that I filter but still get buildup in it. Anything dissolved in the water will settle out as a dust. Better to do a furnace type for bigger operations. These types leave the minerals on the evaporative substrate.

Or combine with an evaporative cooler it high temps are an issue.

Aldi in the US has a good deal on one of those egg shaped ultrasonic humidifier. I use one in my flower room air intake. It will run easy 12 hrs on full blast. You need low EC water for it though as whatever minerals are in it will settle out as a powder when the mist evaporates. I use rain water I run through a filter and add some bleach too. It's $15 less than what I paid on Amazon last spring.
