Product Reviews of Crane Adorable 1 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier, Penguin Shape
Product Review: Great product - very reliable and kids friendly - We love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I am glad that I bought this hmidifier; it is a very reliable, easy to use. It is very quiet during the night, and the mist is consistent and adjustable to my son's needs. My son also likes its good looking and cute. We have been using it every night, no problem at all.Product Review: Cute but leaked!
Summary: 2 Stars
The Crane Hello Kitty humidifier Leaked the very first 2 days. Returned it for a refund already.
Bought this item for my 3yr old who couldn't wait for it to arrive. Looked cute in her room and she loved it as a night light too. It looked fine in the morning when i went to shut it off but by noon the water had somehow leaked onto the bookshelf it was on. Adjusted the O-ring and tightened the water reservior cap and tested it one more night..same leaky result. A real shame as we really wanted this to work. Got to add that we also own the Crane spongeBob humidifer...over a year now. No issues there and our son loves it.
If you like to pretend you did not read this review about the Hello Kitty humidifier and all the other negative reviews on amazon and[...],...at least make sure you are buying it from a merchant that will give you no hassle with returns/exchanges. Good luck.
Product Review: Possible explanation for mixed reviews

I bought the 'Frog' here. My mom bought two at a local retailer. All three have the same model number. My date code was 10-09 hers were both 07-09. At first glance they look identical but there are some subtle differences on the outside.
Both of hers work fine. Mine sort-of works. Sometimes it does not turn on. When it does, it runs for hours and then the rate at which the vapor is released slows dramatically even though the tank is nearly full.
Although I do not have proof it appears Crane has licensed this to multiple manufacturers who have some leeway over the internal design.
If you happen to get one with a black rocker switch on the back, then congratulations you win a working unit. If yours (like mine) has the main front knob to control flow density and on/off, then good luck to you because after close examination of the two designs I believe the latter one is just plain faulty.
I do not care if you buy it or not but consider there are almost a hundred one star reviews on this series of humidifier. That is a lot of unhappy people.
For reference I have a Crane 2.3 Gallon COOL Mist humidifier and it is working like a champ.
Product Review: Cool Mist From Cute Penguin
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this humidifier for over a year now and it has been working great . Winter can get pretty dry up here in Michigan and this Penguin humidifier has made it more bearable. It is quiet and goes to work quickly at a push of a button. One thing you need to be aware though is that if you purchase this humidifier then plan on using distilled water instead of the tap water to avoid having all your stuff covered in white mineral deposits. Also purchase ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 2) to prevent mold growth inside the tank.Product Review: Get what you pay for

We mainly used this unit for our baby's room at night so he could sleep better. This unit worked awesome as the review say (quiet, lots of mist, simple) for the first 3 months. Plenty of mist, cute and simple to use. Everything seemed perfect. We changed and cleaned the unit following the instructions but there was build up on ring that create the mist and it stopped working.
The company replaced the unit under warranty and I had to pay for shipping. They sent me a complete replacement which was nice, but I was without a unit for several weeks. The second worked great too for about 3 months. we stopped using it for a few months and when we started again it would only work when tilted slightly.
I will be trying a different unit now because I need something that is more durable.
