Animal Humidifier for Bedroom, Ultrasonic Cool Mist for Baby Nursery, Adjustable Settings, Auto Shut-Off, Owl

I had one of these but it broke so I bought this one as a replacement. I am OBSESSED! It’s so cute! Very easy to use. DO NOT use essential oils with it (especially citrus) because it can erode the humidifier. That’s how I ruined my old one. It’s very quiet but makes a soft white noise-type of sound while running. It puffs out a cool mist and the night light is not too harsh. It lasts around 24 hours on a full cycle run thru. It auto shuts off went empty and no smell is emitted. Clean it with hot water and antibacterial soap once a week or so. Size is perfect for a bedroom.

In the winter the indoor humidity gets down to about 30-32% which can be quite shocking. I was looking for a humidifier that could put the most amount of water in the air in the shortest amount of time. I've tried many different humidifiers which promise high water output and have been nothing but disappointed. They're expensive and don't seem to output enough water ... enter the Crane Cute Animal Humidifier. Care Abouts : Hours/gallon - this was my #1 concern, how much water can it get into the air and how fast. Noise level - I wanted it to do so quietly. Cost - I wasn't looking for medical grade or payment plans, I wanted affordable/low cost. I bought this Crane humidifier on a whim. The marketing fluff showed it had high water output for its price compared to the other humidifiers I've tried, so why not? What's one more disappointment in a long line of disappointments, right? I was pleasantly surprised. Pros : High water output - On full blast the Elephant puts 1 gallon of water into the air in 12 hours. Best in class for sure. Cool mist, nearly silent operation - You can hear the faintest of fan noise from about a foot away, any further and it's silent. Cost - This has the lowest cost for the volume of water output I've found. Nebulizer - Instant mist as soon as you turn it on. Cons : The water tank has what looks to be a handle on it but isn't. It's very tempting to carry a full water tank by what's not a handle. After years of faithful service my Frog quit working, my fault, I didn't follow the cleaning instructions. Follow the instructions and use white vinegar and all will be fine. You can use tap water in the tank but I use the cheapest distilled water I can find. It lessens the amount of cleaning required. Would I buy this product again? After my Frog broke I bought 2 Elephants.

We have a two year-old and about a year ago when she got her first really nasty cold I ran out minutes before the drugstore closed (the one with the abbreviated name like CBS). Ehem. When I lugged the Vick's brand humidifier to the counter they all but held me by my ankles and shook every last coin out of my purse. That was fine -- my daughter was sick -- so if this is what a really good humidifier cost to help her sleep well then I was happy to pay whatever they were asking. I forked over the pirate's ransom (three times what this penguin one costs) to help my child sleep better. When I got it home the disappointed started immediately. It was bulky, heavy, and awkwardly shaped. The lights were so bright my daughter's room may as well have been on the Vegas strip. It made very loud "glugging" noises throughout the night that made my light-sleeper child stir or wake (which is the ultimate in upsetting when we took painstaking efforts to get her asleep while sick). Imagine sleeping next to a busy office water cooler with the big air bubble that goes up and makes the glugging sound after each use; that's what the Vick's is like. To combat the light problem I had to duct tape a black sock to it and then use half a roll of duct tape to cover all of the tank walls where the light shone through the water and lit the thing up like a Christmas tree. It wasn't my brightest MacGyver moment but I had a sick, tired two year-old so I used what I had in front of me. The Vicks one got stinky often (and not from the sock!) plus it was hard to clean. Finally, one day a year later I stumbled across this lovely penguin. I read all the wonderful reviews and wondered what it would be like to have a properly working humidifier. At this price I figured it was high time we found out. WHOA NELLY! This thing is silent as falling snow! I stand there and stare at it in disbelief that it's even on but the steady stream of "clouds" (what my daughter calls the mist) is pouring out nonstop to assure me it's indeed working like a charm. It does have a green light that glows a tad bright for our liking so I doubled up two bandaids and stuck them over the light to cover it -- voila -- dark as night. There seems to be some conflicting info on the size. The box says it's a two gallon tank. Whatever size it is -- I fill it around 9p.m. and it's still half full when it gets shut off around 9 a.m. after being set at full throttle/highest speed all night. You will not be disappointed with this sucker. My only complaint would be that the tank handle could be sturdier so you could actually carry it by the handle when full. That's small potatoes when you consider what I lived through with the Vicks beast and how well much this penguin shames that Vick's model.Bravo Crane.

CRANE Humidifier is great product, but this one being sold by this seller is not CRANE brand. This is a false advertisement.

The product was damaged but sipping

Very nice for a children bedroom

It leaks water. There was a puddle in the floor every morning, which is unfortunate because it was perfect for the woodland decor in my sons room.

First time, I got a defective unit that the "turn on/off" light does not work at all, and after a few hours of use, it begins to make unexpected noise which sounds like the engine does not rotate properly. So, I request the replacement. The Amazon has nice customer service, they sent me another one by 1 day shipping, and I got it a couple of days ago, and I used it for an entire day. This replacement is not defective that everything works as expected, also, after several hours of use, it still does not have any unexpected noise. This humidifier is very cute, and the replacement is so far so good. Although, I got defective unit first time, I would like to give 5 stars for the review of this item because of Amazon's nice customer service and the item works fine so far. I might update the review after longer time use of this item.
