The Levoit Classic 200 was one the best overall performing humidifiers we reviewed. It has truly excellent humidifying capabilities. Over three hours, it raised the humidity levels in our testing room by 145%, more than 50% more than the next best scoring model.  This machine offers consumers a terrific value with a low MSRP and reasonably affordable annual costs. The tank is both easy to fill and easy to clean. The suggested cleaning protocols are involved but thorough, and thanks to the large access hole, it's not too difficult to scrub it out if mold does grow. With the ability to turn off the mode indicator light, this unit is ideal for sensitive sleepers. 
The user interface takes a minute to get used to. The three modes have corresponding colors that are seemingly random: blue is low, orange is medium, and purple is high. You can't fine-tune the humidity levels, but the three modes cover the basics. We couldn't recommend this model enough, unless you need a humidifier with a built-in humidistat and larger tank capacity.

 One thing is that you can track your humidity over time, with a week of history. It's kind of interesting to see that doing a ton of cooking (especially with gas) raised the humidity even a short distance to the bedroom. An additional app change is that they added "Smart Scenes". This functionality can work as a kind of workaround for the wide humidity range offered in "Auto" mode

 I appreciate the opening on the water tank, which does in fact let me fit my hand inside. However, there are fins of plastic on the inside that are hard to clean around. There's also a tube that runs down the inside of the tank with tight clearance between the tube and the side wall. I squeeze a sponge in between there and hope I get it good enough

 My unit consistently reads much higher than two other humidity sensors I have. For example right now it reads 65% when the other sensors report 50% and 51% (in two connected rooms). Sometimes it's closer to being only 10% off.  Second, the hysteresis (amount of overshoot/undershoot from your selected humidity) is +/- 3%

 There's also a tube that runs down the inside of the tank with tight clearance between the tube and the side wall. I squeeze a sponge in between there and hope I get it good enough. The outside of the tank has a piece towards the bottom that detaches, but it's also got a lot of small spaces that are harder to get to. The base isn't so bad to clean, although it's easy to splash water into the humidity sensor while you're at it

Bad sensor & limited auto controls

 Mild annoyance. Can be avoided by being mindful of it, which I suppose is a trait I lack in this particular case.  I bought these humidifiers on sale, and they have held up very well. I don't think I will purchase again in the future, though, as I'm sick of cleaning the dang things

 They run for about 16ish hours on high and can sufficiently humidify a large room.  It's important to remember that this unit doesn't have a filter, so it grows mold and gets slimy VERY quickly. I recommend rinsing out the reservoir AND the base once a day with hot water and clean with diluted bleach spray at least once a week. It comes with a handy brush to get into the little nooks

 Don't make the same mistake I did and neglect cleaning it regularly - you WILL get ill. Also don't let water sit in it when it's not in use.  Also worth noting - It doesn't leak but sometimes, depending on the air circulation in the room, some of the mist will float down onto the surface I have the humidifier sitting on. I keep the humidifier on a tray and lay the tray on a small towel to prevent my dresser from being damaged from moisture

  I bought these humidifiers on sale, and they have held up very well. I don't think I will purchase again in the future, though, as I'm sick of cleaning the dang things. They really do get slimy fast. So next time I'll opt for one that has a filter

2 years of use - not too bad

 I filled the water tank and placed it to work on the Low mist setting ONLY. The tank was empty after exactly 27 hours. Yes, it worked great, very quiet, and efficient for 27 nonstop hours! So, 40? Not in this world, no matter what you do to it. Of course, it will work even less on the Medium and the High settings, but I went with the Low only

No way 40 hours! But a great mister with some "issues"

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Get relief from Cold and Flu Symptoms and bring Wellness to your entire Family in style with an iconic Crane Drop Humidifier. Featuring an award winning design and top rated performance, Crane’s Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifiers provide up to 24 hours of soothing moisture to help relieve the effects of dryness and congestion, helping you and your Family to breathe easy and sleep through the night peacefully. The moisture that humidifiers add to dry air also help alleviate many common nuisances brought on by winter heating such as static electricity, peeling wallpaper, shrinking wood, and cracks in paint and furniture. Humidifiers are an ideal choice for relieving the discomforts of nasal congestion, dry itchy skin and hair, chapped lips, nose bleeds, and dry throats. Recent studies by the Center for Disease Control have also shown that relative humidity levels between 43% and 60% helps prevent the movement of germs, including the flu virus. Humidifiers are especially important for Newborns because they are Obligate Nasal Breathers, breathing only through their tiny noses for their first 4 - 6 months. Any congestion can make breathing, feeding, and sleeping incredibly difficult for your little one. Not only that, but many pediatricians recommend the use of a humidifier as a safe, non medicated, all natural alternative to help relieve congestion from the common cold and flu instead of potentially harmful over-the-counter cough and cold medicine. Crane's Drop design complements any home’s decor. Not only are Crane Drop Humidifiers stylish, but they are easy to use, whisper quiet, and feature Antimicrobial Material in the Base to help reduce mold and bacteria growth by up to 99.96%*. This compact, BPA-Free unit uses ultrasonic technology to add humidity to the air, is more efficient than a household light bulb, and includes a built-in auto-shut-off feature that engages when the water tank is empty to ensure safety. Cleaning is simple, but very important to keep your humidifier running smoother, longer! We recommend emptying the water tank & basin daily and disinfecting once a week. Use 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar and half a tank of water to disinfect.

Consumer Reports

The Crane Drop humidifier is intended for rooms up to 250 square feet and earns an Excellent rating in our tests for overall performance. This model comes with an empty-tank indicator and has an automatic shutoff feature. Easy to use and energy-efficient, this model also scores top marks for its low noise levels. 

BabyGearLab

The Crane Drop is a smaller, ultrasonic product with a dial user interface. It is super quiet and has a fun shape with a narrow opening for moisture to escape, making it fun to watch. This unit is easy to fill and looks at home in most nurseries. It features auto-shutoff when empty and you can purchase filters if you want to limit the creation of white dust.  
This humidifier is hard to clean and no matter what brush you use, there is a part of the water reservoir you can't reach. If you regularly clean your humidifier, this will be less of an issue. However, if you get lazy, things can grow that you can reach. This unit also lacks features like programmability, so the humidity level in your room is a mystery without a secondary product. Overall, we like this Crane for its looks, effectiveness, and silence, and the lower price is one most families will love.

Best Baby Humidifiers - BabyGearLab

 I must absolutely have peace and quiet in order to sleep, but even with the low amount of noise this machine produces I can't sleep with it turned on; that's just me. Best to have this baby running 1 hour prior to bedtime so the room is properly humidified and then turns it off.  The other thing I find bad about this humidifier is that it starts up noisy if you do not use it after long periods of time. Let me explain, I turn the machine off when I go to bed and when I start it up the next day it's very noisy for exactly 5 minutes and then the loud noise goes away

 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

 It does the job of keeping my room properly humid so that I can breathe and sleep easier during these cold and dry months. I have not encountered the issues which some reviewers have run into such as wet furniture or floors during extensive usage. I let this baby run all day and all night and the area around the machine is nice and dry.  Cleaning is simple by using dish sanitizer or a little bit bleach

 I think the wiring or circuits inside this humidifier are water proof/resistant. I hope it is..

First time owner of a humidifer...

 After cleaning the lens the dvd disk works perfectly. Something to consider when making your purchase of this humidifier.

 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

  ***Short version of review and also conclusion to long part of review: If the white dust this humidifier produces with non-distilled water would not bother you or your electronics then I give it five stars.  *Update: Okay I did get around to opening up my xbox 360 (don't do this, it will void your warranty; my warranty expired) and cleaned the lens and the disk again, as it had accumulated more white dust. After cleaning the lens the dvd disk works perfectly. Something to consider when making your purchase of this humidifier

What's with the white dust?

 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)

 Ok. You can not truly control this. However, by emptying the water basin daily - as it actually states on the humidifier AND in the instructions - you can keep the humidifier working properly. Each time I noticed the mist output decline, I emptied the water basin

 Immediately the humidifier started putting out a strong mist again. In addition, I recommend putting the water tank onto the basin as quickly and precisely as possible and then leave it alone. Do not attempt to move the humidifier to another room/location while full of water. The more you move the humidifier around once you put the tank on top of the basin, the more water that is sloshed around and released from the tank into the basin

Crane Humidifier

 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

 Granted humidifiers, at least mine, don't normally last an exceptionally long time, but for the money I would have expected to have gotten 2 winters out of it at least. I am currently searching for a new humidifier and because of the negatives listed above I will not be purchasing this particular model again, or likely any from the same manufacturer.  Note: I noticed some other reviews mentioning the need to use distilled water. I absolutely agree with this and have never used anything but purified reverse osmosis water

 If placed on an end table beside the bed the vapor will shoot upwards and perhaps come down somewhere near your nose or mouth, but I prefer not to take chances when it comes to my ability to breathe. The inability to direct where the vapor goes (even directly to the side would have been nice) is one of the main reasons I gave it only 3 stars. This is more of a room-size humidifier and unfortunately I did not find it very effective for that purpose either.  *Not Ultrasonic

Helpful Info For Those Comparing Humidifiers

 Make sure you have appropriate table and filter or distilled water. My other unit (for my room) has only slightly larger capacity and is warm mist and I feel like it uses less water.  Edit 04/05/18: My toddler has recently managed to pull off the control cap.

Possibly overpriced.

 It's also more than a little annoying that you can't really wipe out the inside of the fill tank (the hole is way to small), so you can only rinse it out. I'm not sure how sanitary this is. I did buy the drop-in tank cleaner to help with this, but it's going to cost five bucks a month for the cleaner, and ten bucks a month for the filter. That's a pretty high operating cost

 The only way to make it stop is to give the base a good "whack" on the side or to pick the base up a couple of inches and drop it down on the table. Otherwise, the noise persists and no vapor is created. I can only assume this means that something in the motor mechanism is sticking and preventing the humidifier from functioning.  [UPDATE - Jan

 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

 The loud, intermittent noise of the motor is extremely infuriating. I would say the max life of these units before they start giving you real problems is about a year (I assume the same length as the warranty). 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

After more than a year of trying, I'm giving up on these

 About 1/2 way? I live In a cold house with a supplemental oil enclosed electric radiator to warm up my bedroom. Cold mist makes it feel colder. This unit is really adjustable! I can set it just enough to give me humidity without making me cold. Here's the lowdown from my pediatrician 20 years ago to today, add 1/4 tsp bleach to Your tank when you fill it

Really nice!

 I have cut its usage back to only running it during sleeping hours and in that 6-8 hour period it will generally raise the humidity by only 2-3%.

3) Because this is an ultrasonic humidifier, the mist comes out cool/cold. This causes the vapor to immediately drop to the floor, and especially in the winter when warm air rises and pushes cold air down. The bedroom where I have placed the humidifier is carpeted, and the vapor immediately falls to the carpet and is absorbed there, providing minimal moisture to the actual air in the room.

Small rooms only, and not that great

 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

 It's much quieter than a stand-up room fan or a window-mounted AC. Unless you need absolute quiet, the sound from this won't bother you. However, when turned on, this humidifier does have a small, green light that illuminates the inside of the humidifier slightly. It's not very bright, but it's definitely more noticeable than the numbers on your digital alarm clock

 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. In both rooms, the humidifier does a great job of adding humidity without ever making the room feel damp.
