We love it. Works well in our nursery and is quieter than expected.
Update: my husband wants me to change my review to 3 stars because it drips so much water when removing to refill. I stand by my review however, our other humidifier doesn’t make nearly as much of a mess.
Great product. Water tank is big enough to last 4-5 nights.

This is a solid Humidifier with actual mist vapours shooting out making your home/room adequately humid for the winter months. I received the product a few days ago and I am very satisfied with how simple it is to work this machine and by it’s efficiency.
Why this humidifier vs. others? – Actual mist vapors shooting out (simply keeping hand on the vapors will make your hand moist) – Long lasting bowl of water (3 days before refill with 8 – 10 hour night runs) – Value (vs. other humidifiers)
Highly recommend this for young families, the colour is also nice and artsy and children will be amused!

I purchased the Crane cool mist humidifier in Dec’10 and have used it, with great success, for many months. With all the negative reviews (about 20%) I almost didn’t purchase this machine. But I’m glad I did, because it works really well for what it is: a mid size/capacity humidifier.
First of all: ***this humidifier has a 2.3 gallon per day maximum output, with a .9 gallon tank.*** Amazon’s initial title for this (and many other humidifiers) mentions daily output capacity rather than tank size… this may be confusing, although the correct specs are prominently listed on the Amazon page – fifth bullet point in the “product features” section. As for Crane (the manufacturer), their package clearly states a 2.3 gallon daily output, and .9 gallon tank size… The reviewers complaining about the “misleading name” should try emailing Amazon suggesting a title change on their website… instead of writing a 1 or 2 star review of the product. That would be more helpful and more fair.
As for the product itself:
A few buyers obviously received defective machines; this has to be expected on some level with any manufacturer.
But having read over the negative reviews, I realized that most of the complaints were due to improper use of the machine.
It is essential to read the instruction manual and use the machine as intended by design. Doing so will avoid the pitfalls described by most of these 1-2 star review writers. For reference, I have addressed their most common complaints below:
1) White dust buildup in the room: use filtered or distilled water. This is important if you have hard tap water. (85% of American homes do.) I run my tap water through a Brita filter; the exchange ion resin lowers the concentration of calcium carbonates, accordingly softening tap water. It also helps keep the humidifier cleaner by removing organic impurities, and I have had no white dust buildup. ***If your water is particularly high in mineral content, you should use distilled water, or else opt for a vaporizer-type (humidifying) machine, which creates water vapor free of white dust.***
2) Limited effectiveness: you are trying to humidify too large a room. In my 500 square foot living room level the machine helps a little; in my 150 square foot bedroom the machine is more than adequate.
3) Height of machine: the manual directs you to put the humidifier *at least* a few feet off the ground; there’s no reason you can’t place it even higher up if you wish. Doing so will disperse the mist more effectively.
4) Machine runs out of water: try turning it down to about 2/3 power instead of full power. The machine is practically noiseless at this setting and the water tank if actually filled to the rim will last at least 8-10 hours.
5) Machine makes bubbling noise on high: see #4 above.
6) Wet area forms immediately around humidifier: you have the machine turned up too high for the conditions in your room. This is explained in the instruction manual: you need to make sure the mist isn’t falling down onto the surfaces around the machine; otherwise moisture will accumulate on those surfaces. Turn the power dial down until the vapor stream is fully evaporating in the air.
7) Machine leaks: Take care that the water tank fits snugly into place, with no gaps. Also, make sure you have the clear rubber ring that fits inside the tank cap. During my initial setup, this little (1 1/2″ diameter) ring came loose and rolled away, and I almost didn’t notice. The ring ensures a tight seal on your water tank cap; without it, I’m pretty sure the machine would leak.
8) Machine gets moldy: you are not following the correct cleaning routine, as described in the manual. You need to empty and rinse out the tank daily, and empty the bottom part of the unit too. Once a week you should use a white vinegar/warm water mixture in the tank and bottom of unit (see manual).
I hope this was helpful. If my humidifier breaks down I will certainly update this review.

The good stuff:
1. QUIET! I can’t hear it over my computer fans and my computer is not very loud at all. You can definitely sleep with this thing on no prob.
2. Pretty easy to set up. The instructions tell you that you should rinse it out a bit before you use it.
3. Not too big. It’s 13-14 inches at the top where the mist comes out. 9 inches wide/deep. Remember it’s round.
4. Reasonably priced for what you get. Some of the humidifiers may very well be better than this, but they also cost $200 or more. For the modest price this is wonderful.
5. It doesn’t look too ‘medical’. A lot of the other ones have that hypochondriac/invalid look to them. This teardrop shape is kinda cool, but not childish.
The not so good stuff:
1. You will need to clean it once a week. They tell you to use white vinegar or bleach. NOT soaps or detergents. So anyway, you will be sloshing in the sink/tub at least once a week.
2. The add the convenient little note: ‘It is recommended you use distilled or filtered water’. A lot of tap water is ‘hard’ and there are minerals and things in it. So it will eventually clog up the nebulizer inside this and it won’t work right. There will also be a lot of white dust that will result from the minerals as well.
3. Because of #2 I got the optional filter to use. They say to use the filter for 30-40 refills – and you refill it every day. Filter life is approximately 1 month. And it was $12.
4. YOU CANNOT ADD MEDICINES TO THIS THING. MEDICINES ARE FOR VAPORIZERS not humidifiers.
5. The title of this should be changed to ONE GALLON humidifier. The output is 2.3 gallons since it’s a mist/vapor. This is definitely misleading to put 2.3 in the title. I did my homework and I knew it was only 1 gallon, but still it’s not cool to have that there to make people think this is bigger than it is.
6. THIS IS FOR A SMALL ROOM. Bedroom or office size. Don’t get this if you think it will do the living room or kitchen or some bigger room in the house.
7. You have to be careful that you adjust the moisture right. If it is too high then it will get on things and make them wet. If there is wooden furniture around it could ruin their finish. I have mine sitting on a big plastic cutting board.
8. It needs to be on a level surface. You can’t sit it on a towel or carpet. There is a vent on the bottom and that would block it.
9. Keep kids and pets away from it. If you have curious kids or critters there could be potential messy disasters in your future.
Even though I listed more in the not so good column I think this is a great buy. I just wanted to list the stuff to consider and that isn’t mentioned/listed here in the description – or in the promo video. My big concern was noise. We have a Holmes humidifier which is really big and works great, but it’s like being next to an airplane. Not even close to reasonable for sleeping. With the dryness of the winter I asked my Doc about sinus stuff. She said that a humidifier is essential and some saline nasal spray. So I needed one that could run while I was sleeping. This one is ideal for me.
Just remember to consider the stuff you need to do to MAINTAIN a humidifier. Some of the reviews here were complaining about white dust and that things got too wet – both of these things are clearly explained in the instructions. If you want one that will be sitting there and you don’t have to do anything then this ain’t it. But for one of the super duper ones you will need to drop some serious dough. If you don’t maintain the humidifier it will not last.
