Cool little green humidifier [Posted on 2007-01-16]
A great little find. We needed a new humidifier because I dropped the water reservoir on our other humidifier. It was also an ultrasonic (the only kind we use) but had a more standard shape. I had to twist my husband's arm to get this style, but he gave in and as soon as we hooked it up, it started working wonderfully and we both agreed that it was much quieter than our other humidifier.
Maybe should have been a juicer [Posted on 2007-01-23]
I purchased this orange humidifer and promptly returned it. I already have the penguin which is also by this company...and that one worked perfectly. I don't know if it is because of the design...but this one shuts off after about ten minutes of running. You have to constantly shake it to get it going again. Obviously a manufacturer error. I must say it is completely adorable and asthetically a complete pleasure to look at. My kids wanted me to keep it because it was that cute. But, it just didn't work.

I am a total sucker for aesthetically pleasing product design, and so I went ahead and got the Crane Orange for my dorm room despite a few negative reviews. Well, after a day of usage, I have yet to discover anything to complain about whatsoever -- it worked right out of the box with very easy setup, for all intents and purposes it is completely *silent*, it puts a lot of moisture into the air, and it's ridiculously cute. I did notice that it will hiccup a little when you change the setting -- that is, it'll stop putting moisture into the air for a minute or two, and then restart on the new setting. I don't see this as a problem though, since I played with it for a little while and it appears to be reliable, it just takes a minute to "think" I guess.
My old dorm room had a "normal" humidifier in it, I forget the exact model but it was one of the standard lower price range ones, and I would actually rate this little fruit above the more "adult" and slightly more expensive one. So far, this one hasn't spilled at all, has worked perfectly upon refill (unlike the other one which took a lot of jiggling and coaxing), and just sits there (super quietly) and looks cute and does its job with absolutely no attention needed. I don't know if it would be capable of humidifying anything larger than perhaps a medium sized bedroom, but as a single room device it's perfect.
Choose the Crane penguin or soccer ball humidifiers instead [Posted on 2007-03-10]
I really like the Crane humidifiers for children, my youngest daughter has been using the penguin at night for quite some time. It occasionally glugs but the most part is very quiet. So I was confident that the apple shape my elder daughter chose would be just as good. I was surprised when it arrived as the water cannister was much flatter and smaller than I had expected and the design of the base which controled the water flow was different. Still we started to use it and quickly discovered that it didn't detect the water level accurately and frequently turned itself off. This may be a fault with the one I received and so I have sent it back, or it may be a design flaw with this shape. I have just received the soccer ball and the base on this looks more like the penguin and the water cannister is more like a sphere. So although I haven't had chance to use it I am more hopeful of success.
It is important to empty these humidifiers regularly and clean them, I forgot for a few days and was horrified at the build up of slimy stuff and the smell of mould in such a short time!
Novel but design flaw [Posted on 2007-11-25]
It looks good and I have a frog humidifer by the same company and it works great. The orange has a design flaw, like many of the other reviews, within an hour, it stops and the light turns red (no more water) but there is plenty of water. There is a slope where the water from the holding tank to the part where it puts the water in the air, is too shallow so water doesn't flow. If you prop the orange on one side so the slope is greater, than you won't have an issue. I still continue to use it.
