Cute, but poorly made [Posted on 2007-02-23]
I am getting ready to throw away my child's 2nd Thomas the Tank Humidifier in 4 months. There is a small piece of plastic in the tank that covers the night light on the base that has broken on both of the units. Without this little piece of plastic, the water will not stay in the tank and pours out EVERYWHERE! It is a very cute concept and very appealing to children, but it is just not sturdy enough.
CRANE Thomas the Tank needs to goto SODOR for repair!!!! [Posted on 2007-03-24]
As with the last reviewer, that clear little plastic piece designed to light up the tank fell into the tank after the third time we filled it. Then water leaked everywhere, including onto the electronics. Apparently the plastic is simply glued into the tank and with even the slightest touch it falls back inside. When you place the tank back onto Thomas this piece fits over the other clear plastic piece that houses the actual bulb light. This apparently is enough to cause the piece to loosen and fall into the tank. There is no way to fix this or any warning NOT to touch it. In the course of normal filling its almost guaranteed you will touch this at some time. I dont know about you, but mixing toddlers, water and electricity is a recipe for DISASTER!!
CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR THIS PRODUCT!! THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD!!!! THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!

This is a very cute product and sure to be a hit with any Thomas fan. The vapor shoots up out of the steam pipe, the nightlight is nice, and Thomas is adorable. BUT There is a product flaw--the light bulb casing under the water tank comes off and floods the room/table. We had to reglue it once so far--after only five fill ups. Hopefully we'll find a solid fix for it. Otherwise, we'll need to stop using it. As one other person said, electricity and water DO NOT MIX.
Plastic light cover fell off on first refill [Posted on 2008-11-25]
This is a nice humidifier, with cool vapor coming out the smoke stack and a light to make the train glow at night, like a big night light. However, to make the train light up, a blue light bulb protrudes up into the water reservoir, protected by a small transparent cap that is part of the reservoir itself. That cap is simply press fitted into the water reservoir - from the inside! The cap fell out on the first refill and is very difficult to get back in position - one has to rattle it around, balance it on the end of a pencil inserted through the hole and lower it back into the hole. That done, the fit is so loose that it just falls out again. Some glue might fix it, but for now we have an expensive night light.
