crane Humidifier - Drop 2.0 (Clear White)

Good design, efficient and perfect for small apartments.

This is a good design. A 30 minute function would be VERY useful as it’s very efficient and I wouldn’t want to leave it on all night in the bedroom.But often keeping things simple is less to stop working. I tend to put mine on the landing for around 3/4 hours and it definitely improves the air quality. The directed nozzle works well. Cleaning is SO easy. It’s also very easy to move around the house. The flex is a decent length.

I bought this as my daughter suffers with a cough in the night and find a humidifier really helps. We also use white noise so the fact this has the option is great! Capacity is massive and it's very easy to clean.Easy to use overall.I will say, the button to turn the white noise on is touch so is a bit awkward to do when trying to keep the room darker at bed time as you can't feel around for it - the volume is also awkward as you need to hold the touch button to turn it all the way up, then hold again to turn it down.I found it very loud, even on the lowest volume however it was on wood (which they recommend not doing) - once I put a towel under it, it was much better

This is definitely the best humidifier. The previous reviews has led me to believe it comes with us plug which was not the case. I have received my humidifier with a UK plug, so there is no need for the adapter I bought. Even though I was misled by the reviewers here.This product is absolutely stunning. Currently, I am trying it out and it has an amazing feature of changing colors beautifully. Moreover, it also includes white noise and ocean waves sounds to assist babies in falling asleep, which is an added bonus. Setting up and filling this product is incredibly easy, and you even have the fantastic option of purchasing extra aroma pads.I fully support and recommend this product! Extremely satisfied with this humidifier!

I've used a Crane Drop humidifier (always 1 gal, I guess 1.0 and 1.1?) for many years and my biggest gripe with it has always been the pink slime that's impossible to completely remove from the tank, even with flexible brushes. Finding out that the 2.0 is a top-fill with actual access to the interior of the tank gave me a giddy feeling.Initial impressions:1. Having the mist channel moved to the exterior of the tank with a removeable plate is nice, but not necessary. I suppose it does look better visually not having it running through the middle of the tank, but I never had issues with cleaning the central channel. Any bottle brush worked fine. My second Drop (model 1.1?) had an annoying grate over the reservoir side of the channel where calcium would settle into the crevices. I tried to remove it with cutters and failed. A rotary tool with a cutting wheel would probably work.2. Night light feature is pleasing. You only have the option of Red, Blue, Color Changing, or off. I quite like the violet one and wish it was an option. But mostly I'm glad it's possible to have no light. The older models had not only a continuous light inside the tank, but a power light indicator over the dial. The power light turns off after severals seconds on this one.3. No burbling as the tank releases water into the reservoir! I haven't really examined the mechanism by which this is possible, but I appreciate it. After so many years, I'd gotten used to the random burbling in the older model, but those who prefer the quiet will be happy.4. Three output settings. Ok, I can see some people being a little unhappy to be losing the ability to fine tune the output using a dial. I always found the dial a little slippery when my hands were wet from refilling or just moisturizing. My only disappointment here is that the maximum output of this model doesn't quite meet that of the older. During this particular cold snap, my Crane 1.1 was able to push up to 45% RH when the heaters were nearly on constant. This one is getting to 41-42% with an assist from a portable desktop model.5. White noise feature. I'm going to pass on this. It seems entirely superfluous and the quality of those recordings/speaker is just ick. If that's a feature you like, you do you.6. Detachable power cord. !!! I have stepped on the the power insert more than a few times during regular cleaning of the base. Ouch! The durabilty of the cord remains to be seen. It's not a usb type, so I'm not sure how easy finding a replacement would be.7. Vapor Pad Tray. This is new. I'm prone to headaches from strong scents, so I won't be utilizing this feature, but I know many people will appreciate having scented mist. (I believe it is still not advised to use essential oils directly in the tank.)8. No hand grip for tank placement. With it being a top fill, the grip had to go. It can make placing the tank on the base a little tricky. I think a lot of the complaints regarding leaking probably come from not properly setting the tank into the baseOverall Rating: 4 StarsWe'll see how well this unit holds up. My 1.1 unit is near 10 years now. Disappointed that the max output hasn't been carried into this model. I'd rather have that than the white noise or night light features, but I am excited for the easier to clean tank.
