Customer Reviews of Crane Adorable 1 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier, Cow Shape
Customer Review: We love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have the cow and it is extremely quiet. The tank fills up easily in our bathroom sinks. It runs all night and into the day (if we forget to turn it off). The steam comes from the ears and blows upwards. My husband and I bought this for our room after all the great reviews. We are expecting in May and will purchase a second one for our baby's room. Reviewers say the penguin is the best because the steam blows out vertically through the 'nose' which will be helpful for us as we will place it on a chest high dresser for baby. Currently our cow sits (on a blanket) on our bedside table and the upward steam is perfect. We only noticed it leak one night when we accidentally didn't place the top on correctly, but otherwise NO LEAKS. Water can drip from the tank when you take it off (due to condensation), but it doesn't bother us or our rug.Customer Review: Good so far
Summary: 4 Stars
This humidifier works well for how much it cost, and I'm satisfied so far. It's relatively easy to fill and it lasts for a while. I haven't done any humidity measurements to see how effective this product is, but the streams of vaporized water coming out the cow ears work psychologically for me. My fiance loves the cowness of it, so that's a plus.
I used to wake up with a dry throat and the occasional bloody nose, but it hasn't happened much recently (perhaps still a little dry in the throat). Since the weather is warming up there's no way for me to tell which factor is really contributing.
Given that many of the bad reviews for this product have been more long-term product failures, it makes sense that this review is a little positive. I'll update if anything bad happens.
Customer Review: This is a toy, not a humidifier
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the cow humidifier and my son loves it... it's cute, he likes to put his hands in the mist that comes out of it's ears. He enjoys playing with the knob. And, it's very quiet so it's not disturbing.
However, this does not add any humidity to the room. I have a humidity monitor in his room (we live in the northeast with forced hot air heat... so it gets very dry) and it doesn't show any change in humidity after running this cow for 4+ hours. If I run my REAL humidifier that's on the other side of the house, the humidity in his room increases to a comfortable level.
So - if you want a toy for your child to play with... this is great. But, if you want to truly humidify your child's room, then get a REAL humidifier - I have a Holmes... works great.
Customer Review: Works well, but humming sound
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this a month ago, when the weather was really cold and dry, so needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised and appreciative that it arrived within 2 days from Amazon, with free shipping.
Being that this is our first humidifier, so I have no other comparisons. But it was easy to set up, and we do use filtered water as adviced by other reviewers.
One most important thing to note is that there is a faint motor humming sound when turned on, which can be quite annoying if you are used to sleeping in an almost completely quiet room.... not sure if this sound is normal though. There is also a water gurgling sound every once in a while at medium to high setting.
Other than the sounds, this humidifier does work, and the cow is adorable.
Customer Review: Total piece of junk--DO Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this and set it up as instructed in my baby's room. It was working fine. Then, about 2 hours later, I went back into the room and the humidifier was not working at all. I unplugged and re-plugged, turned it on and off, etc. Nothing. My husband then took it apart and checked it all, then put it all back together and, following the directions again, set it back up and tried to get it to work. Nothing. What a waste of time and money. Amazon took it back and paid postage, which was the least they could do, but then I went back and read some of the other negative reviews and saw that one woman had her humidifier actually START A FIRE in her house! Hold cow! Pull this thing off the shelf before some baby is killed by the thing! Amazon needs to stop selling these right away.
