Crane Humidifier Ultrasonic Humidifiers Filter Free Reviews Summary

Performance

Pros:

• "It does consistently and reliably put out mist every evening while I sleep."
• "One tankful of water lasts all night and more, functioning silently, and the cool mist is fine enough that it goes into the air without condensing on any nearby furniture."
• "This really does work great in any size room."
• "It has really helped ease my irritated sinuses and dry eyes."
• "It's silent! We have it in the bedroom and find it really does the trick during these dry winter months."
• "This thing is amazing. I have a medium sized room and it fills the whole room which fluffy easy to breath air."
• "It still runs relatively quietly and always produces a strong flow of moist air that provides a comfortable sleep environment."

Cons:

• "Steam is half the velocity from same unit purchased 6 months ago."
• "Product was defective out of the box, twice!! Don’t waste your money or fall for any of these high reviews."
• "All four of them are broken. Quality is not good, do not buy."
• "It started to leak around the seal at the bottom... Not well made."
• "I bought this a couple of times and they never seem to last longer than 6 months."
• "After about 6 months, it only works on a high setting and is not quiet on a high setting."
• "Unfortunately, after using it daily for 7 months; it started to produce smoke."

Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

• "What I liked: relatively small footprint, quiet, light not too bright, good output."
• "The thing on the top is adjustable so you can aim the stream wherever you want it. That part is ok."
• "It's a sleek and cute design. The components are easy to clean especially if you use distilled water."
• "The hot pink is gorgeous and fun, and the drop design makes this a nice accent piece vs a clunky appliance."
• "And, the tear drop shape is cute. What's not to love?"
• "Very attractive and fun for a child’s bedroom."
• "It looks nicer than a lot of other machines."

Cons:

• "No where in the item description does it mention the fact that there’s a light in the water tank that acts as a night light illuminating your entire room."
• "In my opinion it does 'light up the room' no it’s not like I turned the bedroom light on, but it’s a big difference and it keeps me up."
• "There is a bright light to show that you have enough water. Even though it is the equivalent of a night light, it was too bright for our baby to sleep so we had to put something to keep the light from baby."
• "The green light is way too bright."
• "I do not like the light it emits but many may find this an added value."
• "Main issue for me was the fact that the dim light stays on all night:/day and you can’t turn it off which is difficult for people who sleep with no lights on like myself."
• "I wish there was an option for turning off the light inside since my husband is sensitive to light when sleeping."

Usability & Maintenance

• "It's super easy to fill up and to clean."
• "Easy to use and mist starts immediately upon turning it on."
• "The Crane humidifiers are easy to assemble, easy to clean, easy to fill with water."
• "It's so much easier to clean and fill!"

Cons:

• "It's kind of a pain to care for and gets water everywhere."
• "I bought this a while ago and am trying to properly clean it but I am unable to."
• "The awkward shape would make it annoying to dump out."
• "It wasn’t very easy to clean, but none of them are."
• "Getting to any other part of this container is impossible unless you have some bendable brush (but it'd have to be adjustable)."
• "It is very very difficult to put water in it."
• "It's difficult to fill this thing."

Value & Longevity

Pros:

• "They don't last forever, but they are decent for the price and for the amount of use they give us."

• "I really like these humidifiers but I keep dropping the tanks while refilling them and have broken a couple that way."
• "Dangerous and slippery and may have damaged my wood floor."

• "This is a very neat humidifier... The only problem is that it isn’t really worth the price."
• "It leaks too much to make it worth keeping."
