The downside to humidifiers is that not only do they require frequent cleaning, but if you have too much humidity in your home (specifically bedroom) you will encourage the growth of dust mites. Most people are sensitive/allergic to dust mites. So, if you do get a humidifier, you should purchase one w/ a humidistat so you don't overdo the humidity.
But, yes, they do help a little in the winter.
