Benefits of This Crane Humidifier
Humidifiers are an ideal choice for relieving the discomforts of nasal congestion, dry itchy skin, chapped lips, and dry throat. The moisture that humidifiers add to dry air helps alleviate common nuisances brought on by winter heating, such as static electricity, peeling wallpaper, and cracks in paint and furniture. Many physicians recommend the use of a humidifier to help relieve congestion from the common cold and flu as an alternative to over-the-counter cough and cold medicine. The Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier was a finalist in the 2011 International Housewares Design Awards. Thanks to its fun, contemporary design and whisper-quiet operation, it is discreet enough to be left out when company visits.
Straightforward, Whisper-Quiet Operation
Not only are Crane humidifiers stylish, but they are also easy to use and include a built-in auto-shut-off feature that engages when the water tank is empty to ensure safety. The whisper-quiet operation helps provide for a good night sleep for everyone.
Operating the Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier requires only a few easy steps. Simply remove the water tank from the unit, unscrew the tank cap, and fill the water tank under a water faucet. Securely replace the tank cap, making sure the rubber cap seal is in place, and place the water tank back onto the unit. Place the humidifier on an elevated surface and set it to a medium output setting for comfortable room humidification.
Important Tips
If you have a lot of minerals in your tap water, it is recommended to use distilled water, filtered water, or a Crane demineralization filter (HS-3161). Place humidifier on an elevated surface and not on carpet, towel, or sensitive wood furniture.
Cleaning and Storage
Frequently cleaning your humidifier is very important. Crane recommends emptying the water in the basin daily, making sure you pour away from the fan air-outlet. Disinfect the water basin and tank weekly by using a white vinegar and fresh water solution, let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse. For convenience, the Crane Descaler solution HS-1933 is also available. It is important to disinfect and dry completely before storage.

This thing is worth less then the materials it's made from. It worked great for about two weeks, then started to get louder and louder and louder, until it was at the point where it sounded like a cell phone vibrating on a table, except it was constant and I couldn't have it on when I was asleep, which was kind of the point. Now it's broken, and I've only had it for about a month. When I turn it on it makes a screeching grinding noise and humidifies but doesn't blow. I took it apart to see what was up, and the fan was vibrating against the casing, so I filed the casing down in those places and it was marginally helpful. When I had it apart I learned that the fan is PATHETIC. All you need to do it rest your finger on it, you don't need to put any pressure whatsoever, and the friction is enough to bring to a dead stop. Its so bad, actually, that when it is turned upside down (as it is when its assembled) THE WEIGHT OF THE FAN BLADES IS ENOUGH TO PRESS IT AGAINST ITS CASING ENOUGH TO STOP IT. Thats CRAZY. It also does NOT turn off when it runs out, but instead continues in really annoying little bursts for some reason. So yeah, to sum up: it broke after about four weeks of regular use, and if I could go back in time I would just go get a fifty dollar bill from the bank and rip it half, it would be SO much easier. 

This is our second one, the first one we bought in 2011. Crane made some cosmetic and functional changes. The cosmetic changes are OK, but not a fan of the dial. The main difference is that it just doesn't seem as powerful as the one we bought in 2011. That one seemed to need refilling a lot more often and spread out more mist. Also, I am personally not a fan of the light in this one, mostly because it distracts our baby. If he weren't so distractable, I would like it as a night-lite for him.
