Crane Adorable Cool Mist Humidifier

by Ryan
(ames, iowa)

Today I will be reviewing the Crane Adorable Cool Mist Humidifier. I bought this humidifier to use for my kids, although I must say that it is pretty darn cute. My children get some respiratory infections every once in a while, as do I, and it is always helpful to have a humidifier at night to help clear up your chest.

The one thing that I like is that it has a smaller reservoir. This makes it so water is not sitting around getting nasty very often. Yes, you have to change it more often, but so be it. I have read many of the reviews on amazon.com about humidifiers, and it seems that all of them have some negative reviews. None of them were rated significantly higher than any of the others. I saw that this one was the best selling, so I decided to go with it, and I have not been disappointed. It doesn’t have any filters to deal with either, while other models require a costy filter change every few weeks. It runs quietly as well, which is very important to me. I like a little bit of white noise to lull me to sleep, but nothing annoying. This humidifier has the perfect amount of noise to sleep to.

Sometimes it is difficult to clean, as it can be hard to find the opening. I have also heard of models starting to leak after some decent use. I have never had this problem, but others have. It is also reasonably priced and comes in penguin, frog, and other animal shapes.

Pros: reliable, cute, well priced, quiet
Cons: difficult to clean at times, potential to leak

Overall, I was very pleased with this product, but I would still recommend that you do your own research before making any purchases.

Great for a child?s bedroom
by: Anonymous

I was instructed by my doctor to get a humidifier for my daughters bedroom after we installed a fireplace. The fireplace was removing all the humidity in the house and causing her to develop a dry hacking cough.

It weighs a little over five and a half pounds and comes in a variety of fun characters to amuse any child, and go with any child?s bedroom theme. It comes in a frog, elephant, panda, Sponge Bob, dragon, Thomas the Tank, cow, penguin, elephant and my daughters favorite, Hello Kitty.

We boil water and let it get back to room temperature or use distilled water when we fill the reservoir. The Crane Adorable 1 gallon cool mist humidifier will run for about 16 hours on one reservoir fill, but we change the reservoir water every night before we put our daughter to sleep just to make sure nothing ?funky? is growing in the humidifier. Don?t think it is necessary, but she is our first child, so we do things like that.

It is easy to clean, and we have had no problem with it leaking. It has a variety of mist settings so depending on how dry the house is, is how we set it. We have noticed that the her dry hacking cough has ended with the use of this humidifier. It does make a gurgling noise which I could see might drive people crazy, but my daughter enjoys the gurgling noises that it makes, and actually tries to ?talk? to it by gurgling back. Just way to cute. It runs quietly (other than the gurgling) and does not interrupt her sleep.

The glow from the display also helps to illuminate her bedroom in a non obtrusive way. I could see maybe an adult who cannot sleep with light in the room as having a problem with this because it does not dim.

Pros
- Comes in a variety of fun styles
- Great for a child?s bedroom
- Works well
- Relatively inexpensive

Cons
- Gurgling noise
- Display light
- Might be too cutesy for an older child?s room
