Crane Drop vs Levoit Classic 300S Ultrasonic Smart Humidifier

I'm now just waiting for the new humidifier to come in. At this point, I down rated it from 4 stars to 3 because of the noise. It was quiet for awhile but became really noisy later on the more I used it. *****Update 12/21/2011***** I received my new humidifier today and it's a newer model

We recommend using distilled or purified water. Replace the water tank cover and place the tank back on the base. [Music] Press power to begin misting...

I don't know how often the dvd was accessed but the next day, same issue. Cleaned the disk, it still would not read the disk. This game has two disks so I tried the second one which was clean. It would not read the disk

If I had to get another, I might try something different, but this one would be the standard I'd expect and I could see myself coming back to it. Cleaning is a hassle, but living well isnt a walk in the park.

You also don't want to place the humidifier on the carpet or a towel. This is because the fan vent is on the bottom of the humidifier. By placing it on the carpet (or a towel) you stand a chance of blocking the vent and the humidifier over heating. In an effort to avoid placing the humidifier on a wood surface (or a towel)

My only issue with it is keeping it clean. I change the water and rinse it out every night, and I admit that I don't only put the recommended distilled water in it, only tap water. That is admittedly probably where my problem stems from, but I run this thing so much while it's dry as hell in Kentucky this time of year (winter) that I just don't want to have to stock gallons and gallons of distilled water, since it'll go through 2/3 of a tank in one night. I keep it set to auto shut off at 50% humidity, well within the recommended range and it still runs pretty much nonstop

The size of the vapor droplets must be small enough or the unit may add moisture but not really help with breathing (according to my doctor). Whether for personal use or whole room it did not seem to do much for me other than perhaps add moisture to a dry environment. For lungs I found this, and pretty much all non-ultrasonic humidifiers, to be pretty much useless. *Night Lite? This unit has within it's blue water chamber area, just above the knob, a small light

I love the scheduling function to turn it off and turn it back on. So helpful! You can set up for turn it off at the regular time you live home (M-F) and set up to turn it on within 40 mins before you get back! This save water and also exhaustive tank refills. BTW … refil the tank is a piece of cake, adding water to the top of the tank. I love the light off function and as well the app that controls the unit

While you can take the base apart and fiddle around with the fan that makes the noise; the respite from the noise usually lasts only a few days (or even just a few hours). I took mine apart, blew out the dust, lubricated the fan, and within a couple hours it was making noise again. And to be clear, it's not a tolerable noise. It is VERY loud, and the only way to stop it is to whack the base until it stops

I was looking for a humidifier for our bedroom and initially bought a Vornado model. It definitely performed the job, but BOY was it noisy. Not just the distinct continuous whirring of the humidifier, but a periodic GLUG-GLUG-GLUG ever 30mins or so. Really not suitable for a bedroom
