Crane Top Fill Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier for Bedroom and Large Rooms, 1.2 Gallon Essential Oil Diffuser with Nightlight and Auto Shut-Off

Used Crane drop gallon humidifiers for about 8 years before buying this. Have tried several styles and brands over years, but Crane does it best. And this is their best humidifier yet!I’m really sensitive to dry winter air and having a humidifier going all winter has been a huge improvement in my quality of life.Pros:-First *actually* easy to clean humidifier I’ve ever found. Most humidifiers, including a lot of other Crane models, have nooks and crannies you can’t reach by hand, or even the most strategically bent bottle brush, that start to build a reddish or black mold over time even when you’re diligent about cleaning. I love that the removable parts on this just go in the top rack of my dishwasher and that the interior of the humidifier is simple and wide open so I can just stick my hand in and easy wipe away anything I need to.-It takes about 3 weeks before I notice any stuff starting to grow, compared to 2-7 days with most humidifiers. I use tap water, so my process is descale then sanitize. I sprinkle baking soda over bottom and sides, add vinegar, then go over it with a sponge. Rinse out a few times with warm water. Then fill to max line with hot water plus about a tablespoon of bleach and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly! Voila!-Top fill! I use a gallon jug that I fill in my kitchen sink and then just easily dump in the top of the humidifier. No more leaving a trail of water drops through the house. I’m a little baffled by reviewers who unplug and lug the whole humidifier to the sink for every refill. Just use a pitcher, watering can, jug, etc.-1.2 gallon tank runs for about 14 hours on high. I run it 24/7 on high and just fill it every 12ish hours. (Anytime you aren’t running it but there’s still water be sure to remove the lid or you’ll likely start growing funky stuff. Not a defect of the product; just science and the nature of any humidifier.)-Doesn’t need a filter. You don’t have to track down and replace any niche parts.Con:-While there is no machine/fan noise, the bobber thing in the mist chamber does rattle around a bit sometimes as it’s pushed up and down by the mist. I initially had this in my bedroom, but found that the noise was just enough to disturb my sleep. I moved it to the nearby living room around a corner and sleep with my door open. If it had to be in my bedroom I’d figure out a solution for the rattle (earplugs, white noise, tinkering with the mist chamber, etc) rather than buy a different humidifier. The combination of the pros are worth it and I haven’t found anything comparable for sale in the US for under $100.

I live in Denver and it gets really dry here in the winters. I have had this thing for over a year now and I refill it daily. The top fill is really convenient, I just put it in the sink and wait for it to fill up. It lasts probably about 15 hours before needing to be filled again. Releases a huge amount of moisture into the air. You can hear the faint hum of the fan, but it's not loud at all and doesn't bother me when I sleep. Only change I would make is making the plug removable. You have to haul the entire humidifier to the sink to refill it which means unplugging it every time. I have it plugged in behind a dresser, so I have to kind of reach back there and fish the wire out. Would be much nicer to just unplug from the device and keep plugged in.

I purchased this Crane Humidifier 4 years ago in 2021. I must say the quality is of excellence.There are many reasons that I recommend this product : quality, the large amount of water that can be added which will last 24 hrs.,so easy to clean, safe to use essential oils for diffusing.The color options and output options . It’s worth the investment.I highly recommend this Crane 1.2 gal humidifier

We got this humidifier because the winters are very dry in our region and this particular humidifier is very easy to clean. We initially bought 2, liked it enough that we decided to get a 3rd one to use in different rooms mostly at night times.We've been doing good maintenance on them, cleaning regularly and gently rinsing the walls of the reservoir when refilling water. However, one of them just stopped working after about 5 months. Filled up water as usual one day, turned it on, and it'll "blow" air but won't create any mist. Cleaned again, dried it completely, nothing. Then about a week later the newest one we got about 2-3 months ago stopped working as well. Same thing, and found out it heated up the water without creating any humidity all night. We cleaned that one again, following manufacturer instructions, dried for three days(!), filled water and guess what, now that water is coming straight out the bottom. Spontaneously developed a leak.Contacted crane. Took 2 weeks to finally get a replacement after submitting warranty claim (they were telling me to clean it, dry it, etc - which were all done) and guess what, despite following all the instructions, they decided to ignore my 2nd warranty claim request (no response whatsoever) and only sent me one replacement. I've been emailing them for the last week and no response whatsoever. In fact, the only email I got was "we didn't get a response so we'll assume this resolved". Excuse me??? How many times do I need to contact you?? I made sure the claims I sent them included pictures of the base and serial numbers (2 separate claims, 2 separate sets of numbers) and followed their instructions to the T. But no, they won't honor their warranties.The last and only working one is doing something funky now too. I'll turn it on and it randomly won't work, and I'd have to turn it off and on again to try to get it to work. And when it doesn't work, it just heats up the water. Not safe.So buy this if you need something for a couple months and realize that crane does not honor their "warranty", aka we ignore your contacts.Update: after another week and multiple more emails, I got a response from "Cameran" at Crane that they had processed shipped the 2nd warranty claim and it probably is just on the way. Flat out lie. I requested a tracking number, no response. It's been another week and 3 more emails and no response. No, they did not ship the 2nd replacement because there were no shipping notifications, automatic "warranty processed" email or any notifications from FedEx that I normally get when something gets shipped. Poor customer service is one thing, but to have the audacity to flat out LIE to the customers!! Wow, they have really reached the next level of horrible corporation. Take this into your account.

The humidifier does exactly what I ask it to do. I love the night light feature & it’s held up well against mold so far, which was my primary concern.

Was looking for something to help me with my nightly sore throats. Compared to other humidifiers I’ve had, this one holds two nights worth of water, easy to clean, quiet AND I love the nightlight.

Amazing humidifier. Pumps out a good amount of moisture, very quiet apart from a tiny burble sound when it's getting low.Love that you can add essential oils.
