OHBaby! Awards 2022 - SILVER WINNER - Best Vapouriser/Humidifier – Crane Humidifiers

Have minimal space but still want all the benefits of using a cool mist humidifier?  

The Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and Aroma Diffuser is fantastic for small and medium sized rooms, it features a 1.3l tank but runs up to 17 hours and humidifies a room up to 18.5 sq. m. 

The Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and Aroma Diffuser can be used by parents looking for natural alternatives to cough medicine and other croup, colds and cough remedies, as it increases the moisture in the air. Increased moisture in the air can be used for dry coughs, colds, nose bleeds, itchy eyes, dry scratchy throats and congestion with newborn babies right through to toddlers and adults.

It also features an optional colour-changing light and sleek design, adding healthy living and stylish decor to any room!

Lights
The nightlight function is optional, it has a separate switch to the humidifier on/off switch. You can have it on rotating colours, pick a single colour or have it turned off. The humidifier on/off switch has a tiny blue light on it, so when turned on you will see a small light from this. You can put something in front of it to block the light if you wish.

FAQ
Why should I use a Humidifier? 
The real question is why shouldn't you? Humidifiers increase moisture in the air that can otherwise be removed by other external factors such as air conditioners and heaters. Having the right balance of moisture in the air can be used for coughs, dry tickly throats, congestion and colds.

Is This Suitable for Babies and Toddlers?
Yes, this unit is designed for use with your baby or toddler. The cool mist technology makes it safe to have in the home, unlike hot steam vapourisers which can be a burns hazard.

Humidifier or Vapouriser?
Humidifier is the name in the US for what is usually called a Vapouriser (sometimes spelled as vapouriser or vapouriser) in NZ and Australia. It is important to note that Crane Adorable, Drop and Travel Humidifier/Vapourisers are Cool Mist Ultrasonic Vapourisers, not to be confused with warm mist or steam vapourisers.  We use the terms Humidifier and Vapouriser interchangeably when referring to Crane products.

Which is Better: Warm Mist or Cool Mist?
The major difference is that a Warm Mist Humidifier is heating the water to produce steam vapour. Cool Mist Humidifiers use an Ultrasonic Nebulizer that vibrates at a very high frequency to produce an extra fine water mist. When it comes to humidifying a room, there is not much of a difference between the two types - both are equally effective. However, paediatricians and parents alike recommend Cool Mist Humidifiers for babies and children because there is no heating element, which could be a safety risk for a child. Cool Mist Humidifiers can also save money on energy costs.

Can I use Essential Oils with my Crane Ultrasonic Humidifier and Diffuser?
Yes. Unlike traditional Crane Humidifiers, this new model with 'diffuser' function has a water tank which is resistant to oil damage. 

A Humidifier Is a Common Baby Registry Item. Why Does My Baby Need One?
Newborns are Obligate Nasal Breathers, meaning that they can only breathe in through their nose for the first 4-6 months of their lives. Their nostrils are so small that even the tiniest clog can make everything from feeding to sleeping difficult and frustrating. Perhaps more importantly, the American Academy of Paediatrics advises against using over-the-counter cold medication for children under the age of 6. A whisper quiet, Crane Humidifier increases moisture in the air for easier breathing.

What is the Best Way to Clean My Crane Humidifier?
It's simple. Regular cleaning will keep your humidifier running smoother, for longer. We highly recommend emptying the water tank and basin after each use and disinfecting them at least once a week with water and a few capfuls of white vinegar. Please check the manual for further instructions.
Do I Need a Filter to Run My Crane Humidifier?
Nope. We're all about simple, clean design, so our humidifiers work perfectly without a filter. In some cases, such as when using bore water, you could notice a fine white mineral dust collecting near your Crane. If so you can switch to distilled water to lower the dust-building mineral content. Crane Demineralization Filters will remove these excess minerals, so your air (and your home) stays clean. 
I can see a slight 'mist leak' around the bottom of the water tank. Should I be worried?
No you should not be worried. It is normal that humidifiers may have mist leaking through the gap between the water tank and humidifier base when it is operated new or after stopping use for a long time. The leaking will stop when water condensation around the edge is formed and fills up the gap.
This slight mist leak does not cause any safety risk near the power cord, as the humidifier works at a low voltage supplied from the external power adapter.
Is too much humidity a thing?
Yes. To reduce excessive humidity (especially in a smaller room) we always suggest to leave the door slightly ajar to increase air circulation in the room. You can also easily adjust the mist intensity to a lower output setting. If you see the mist going up and straight down, this is a key indicator that the mist setting is too high for the humidity level in the room.

Please read the Instruction Manual carefully before using your Humidifier, particularly around placement of your Humidifier.
Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at least 2 feet (60cm) above the floor.
DO NOT place the humidifier on carpet or a towel.  The fan vent is located on the bottom of the water basin. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed. 
DO NOT place the humidifier on a wood surface or near furniture that can be damaged by too much moisture.
To prevent excess humidity or condensation please leave the door ajar for air circulation and adjust mist intensity to the low output setting.
DO NOT use hot water in the water tank.
