Summary: 5 Stars
Although this humidifier looks like a toy, it works perfect fine. It is not the most high performance humidifier and it does not have any additional feature, like UV lamp or water filter, but it performs extremely well for its price. I bought it at around $30, before the price increased. Like all ultrasonic humidifier, it produces small water droplets using high energy acoustic action. The droplets are then delivered out using a small fan. It is extremely quiet that you will barely notice the sound even when you are going to sleep. The specification sheet states the power consumption is 32 W maximum, but it consumes less power in practice. Humidification is not necessary higher by operating the humidifier at higher power. At maximum power, the water droplets generated are very large and they will fall to the floor without increasing humidity. Thus, the humidifier should be operated at optimum power to generate finer water mist. Therefore, the operation power is lower than 32 W. For the same reason, the humidifer delivers 15-24 hours of performance with a galleon of water, instead of the 11 hour stated on the specification sheet.
It is important to point out, there is no extra replacement cost because this unit has no extra features. For this reason, it cannot eliminate mineral or bacteria in the water. So if there are minerals or bacterias, they will also be dispersed in the air. Filtered or distilled water should be used if tap water has minerals. Water should also be changed everyday and the unit should be clean every week to avoid bacteria buildup. I have noticed that you can put in trace amount of hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacterial growth. I suggest using about 1 teaspoon of home use (3%) hydrogen peroxide in a galleon of water. Doing so, I noticed that I do not have to change water everyday. Make sure you do not put too much peroxide, and do not put the humidifier next to your head during sleep after you added peroxide.
*Update*
Although the instruction manual suggests cleaning the water tank (top unit) with mild clorox blench solution, it does not mean you can clean the bottom unit with blench. I made the mistake and the paint/coating on the ultrasonic part is falling apart. At least this is why I think the coating is coming off. Now it cannot be used. Also my water has too much minerals in it, even with the PUR faucet filter, the humidifier still produces white dust. A reverse osmosis water purifier might do the job, but I do not have one. Good while it last, but I will have to get a different kind of humidifier for my next winter. I also like to down rate this humidifier to a 4 star, but Amazon does not allow me to change my star rating. It is still a pretty good for its low price ($30).*
*Super Update* Crane has now offer a mineral filter to minimize white dust. I have not use one, but I thought readers should be made aware of it. It is about $10-11 and it lasts ~2 months.
