Crane Adorable 1 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier, Cow Shape

Because my nursery is decorated green and with frogs, this went perfectly! It is so cute! It also works well...my son was having a lot of congestion and coughing before and now that we use this everynight, he has seemed to sleep so much better.

My only quirk about it is that it doesn't make noise! My daughter has another humidifier that makes some white noise that helps her sleep, so I was a little dissappointed that this one was so quiet. I know that is great for some, but my kids like the little bit of noise to sleep. If you like quiet, you will love this one.

This item is in good quality and nice looking. It does make my room more comfortable and relieve me from my dry skin.

Prior to getting the penguin, we bought the Hamilton Beach 05518 True Air Cool Mist Humidifier that was comparable in price and we hated it. It was very loud and didn't disperse the mist well. It was also big and ugly. We were so disappointed in it that we decided to get another humidifier, and settled on the penguin. I was weary of it because many of the reviews said it produced a lot of white dust, but decided to give it a try anyway. It works wonderfully and we are very happy with it. We have had it about a week and it has basically run non-stop without any problems. We live in the DFW area of Texas, and haven't had any trouble with white dust here. I guess our water must be pretty soft, but if you have hard water and notice the penguin produces white dust you can either use distilled water to fill it or get a demineralization filter. The humidifier is very quiet and easy to fill and clean because it isn't large and cumbersome. We have it in the bedroom of our newborn twins and it doesn't bother them at all. It's cute, and disperses the mist very well. There is a knob you turn to set the mist flow, and my only complaint is that it doesn't have an indicator arrow on the knob so you don't know where you've set it. I'm so pleased with it I'm going to get another for our bedroom (I think its capacity is best for a single room).

Works beautifully. Love the green lights that turn red when the tank is out of water. the night light is a cool blue that is not too bright. It is no louder than any other humidifier I have owned and provides nice white noise while the baby is sleeping. If you are looking for an inexpensive humidifier for your child's room take a look at crane.

Its cute and works great. But not as effective as i wanted it to be.
