Customer Reviews of Crane Adorable 1 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier, Cow Shape
Customer Review: Works fine so far
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a good product for its price. It makes some noise when it is turned over 3/4 close to maximum, which can be annoying when you are trying to sleep in the quiet night. Other than that, it works fine so far. It's cute, that's also why I bought it.Customer Review: FROG Humidifier is AWESOME!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had our frog humidifier for about 3 years now and we LOVE it! It is easy to operate, VERY quiet, and I love that there are SO many different settings so you can adjust exactly how much humidity you want. You can set it to where you can't even see it reallly coming out OR all the way cranked up to where the cool mist is pouring out. The dial turns very smoothly and does not click or make loud noises so if you need to crank it up during the night you won't wake your child up. On the frog model the mist shoots out his two eyes and provides a very even ouput.
The only thing I don't like is cleaning it. I don't think it's any harder to clean than any other humidifier, but ours did get pink stuff after about 3 days of use. I found the PROTEC humidifier cleaner balls though and they have been a life-saver! They are a MUST-HAVE if you have any humidifier. They each last 30 days and I don't have the pink slime nearly as fast. I clean the humidifier about every 10-14 days with one of the Protec balls. They sell them on here, but they are much cheaper at Walmart (about $3-4 each).
I love the frog humidifier so much that I am about to buy another humidifier (probably the cow) for my daughter's room. Both my kids have eczema and the extra hhumidity in the room at night REALLY helps their skin.
BUY IT is all I have left to say! They carry them at Target if you want to go and actually see them. You can tell from the way the dial turns on them that they are quality made. As I said, ours is 3 years old and we have never ever had a single problem with it!
Customer Review: Didn't work well, stopped altogether after about a week of nighttime use.
Summary: 1 Stars
Irrespective of the fact that many have had great success with this humidifier, we did not.
The elephant did not do well to elevate the humidity of our son's 10x12 bedroom. Having a Texas cold spell and a drafty house, our son was really stuffed up and having sleeping problems due to the dryness. To elevate the humidity, we resorted to put our 'good' ultrasonic humidifier in his room for an hour or so to elevate the humidity, and then let the elephant maintain that level overnight (what a hassle!).
After a week or so of this, it stopped misting altogether. The water, instead of misting out of the hole at the top, was simply squirting a bit. We are returning the unit and opting to spend the money on one that will be more powerful and (presumably) more reliable.
Customer Review: Cute & Decent
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my children's room. At first I had a little problem with it - for some reason the water wouldn't bubble into the reservoir even though the unit was completely filled, and the automatic shut-off would kick in. (I use only reverse osmosis filtered water.) After the second week & second cleaning it started working better and haven't had a problem with it since.Customer Review: Ruined the bookshelf
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this (Frog) last night at a local store. Granted, the steam looks nice and so does the frog as the colors match our boy's room. We have another Vick's humidifier that we were using in Sister's room, and since we hate the filter purchases, we got this one. We also like the fact that you can fill it up in the sink, unlike the Vick's. However, it just seems an awkward design as even after what I thought I filled it fairly full, putting it in the base seemed like I didn't. It was almost out of water in the morning. The Vick one can last 2-3 days on high humidity level depending on how full I fill it. Looking at it, its probably a 1.5 gallon though.
So we placed it on the bookshelf, next to his monitor, which is a good 4 feet off the ground. It was also right in front of the window too (foot away). This morning, the wife calls and tells me the backing panel of the bookshelf was all wet and basically ruined from the moisture of the unit, and moisture was all over teh blinds. I'm glad we don't have wood blinds, but the faux wood ones, or i'd be pissed. The top of the bookshelf had alot of moisture too, but appeared to be undamaged. We didn't have the thing turned up max either, but between 1/2 and 2/3's.
We will move it to another table and turn down the knob again tonight and see. if not, then its time to return it and get something else. Another peeve, and I guess its the filterless ultrasonic design, is that on our vicks model with filter, we can let it run empty which drys it out from the tank and the filter (manual states to do it this way). the Frog one has water in the bottom that we had to manually dry out with no real way to dry the tank in a similar fashion.
Its a cute design, but for us, its not working well to our expectations.
