Crane Drop vs LEVOIT LV600HH

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

As an experiment we used it for a tank full in another room all day with little interference from currents or people walking by with the warm mist. It was much more effective and consistent in this decent sized room and agreed with the hygrometer 90% of the time. However, when I walked by, opened the garage entry door (12 feet away) or did activity behind the unit (reading newspaper, sitting up and down, etc), it did the same inaccurate and fluctuating humidity detection causing the unit to not achieve the desired level. And as mentioned the unit can 360 direct mist, but the left front is where the humidistat is and that's not a good place to direct it

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

We spent a week coming up with products on amazon, but we never settled on any. On a whim, I purchased this one and got it next day (I'm a Prime member). I had stocked up on distilled water for this little guy prior to it arriving, so we could get it set up and running as soon as it came in. Opening the package I was impressed, the product was very well packaged and came with a buttload of instructions and filters for essential oils (which we wont use)

If you want to run this humidifier for long periods of time and are worried about the water running out, don't order the white/blue model because it produces more steam and therefore depletes the water level sooner. The all white model is more conservative with the water. However, if you have a larger space, then I think the heavier steam flow of the white/blue is helpful. For reference I use the all white model in an approx 11' x 13' bedroom and the white/blue in an 11' x 16' room

The tank is pretty large and holds a good amount of water. Nitpick on the tank: even when it’s closed/sealed well and you pick it up, water tends to splash into the basin and sometimes surrounding the device. Made me nervous to place directly on my wood furniture (it’s on top of a waterproof mat now). All in all, I’m happy with my purchase, just wish the humidity reading was consistently accurate
