      Mine is spilling condensation around the unit. Is there a way to fix it?
      ByNov 4, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      It is important to ensure that your unit is raised at least two feet off the ground. If your unit is raised off the ground but is still producing condensation around the item, try running the item on a lower mist output setting or not running the unit for a few days to allow the humidity in the space to naturally fall.

            Can I use essential oils with this humidifier?
            ByFeb 5, 2019
            4 Answers | 
            Answer This Question

            No, it is not recommended to add medication, essential oils, and salt to this humidifier.

            By|Feb 18, 2019

              No, you cannot. This Crane Humidifier comes with a small cloth like tab that fits into a slot, and it smells like a vapor rub. Opens the sinuses up.

              By|Apr 11, 2021

                No. The instructions indicate that you should not use oils.

                By|Jul 11, 2021

                  Addition of oils and/or medicine vapors to the water tank will compromise the plastic of the water tank which can cause the tank to crack and leak. Our humidifiers are only designed for use of adding moisture into the air and not as an aroma diffuser.

                      Love it!
                      Another great product by Crane. I currently have this humidifier set up in a corner in our game room and it works great. My kids love the smell of the vapor pads. It makes breathing so much easier, especially since we spend alot of time in the room. And so quiet you forget it’s on. Definitely worth the money!

                        Exactly what I needed
                        Everytime when the weather and temperatures change, my skin and hair get extremely dry, as I suffer from allergies, it dries my eyes and nose too. combined with the heat or air conditioner it makes me not to breath properly, making me so tired all the time. Since I got this mist humidifier I feel it is helping to keep my throat moist so I can rest at night, it takes all the discomfort away and the next morning I wake up feeling more rested. I wanted something small and easy to use, this one is so quiet, easy to refill the water, operate and keep it clean. It also looks good in the bedroom. This mist humidifier just looks great and works great.

                          Better indoor air quality!
                          The Cool Mist Humidifier is a handy way to add a bit of moisture back into the air. It’s the perfect size for the master bedroom, and since it’s practically silent, there’s no worry of it waking you up. The droplet shape has a modern aesthetic, but I think it would fit in with pretty much any decor. Since using it, I’ve noticed some improvement in my allergy symptoms. And the vapor pad is a nice touch if you want to add some aroma therapy. I recommend this humidifier if you want to improve the indoor air quality inside a bedroom or home office.

                            360 tear drop
                            With spring and summer seasons here I got this for my son. It’s been perfect his room no longer gets to dry. It is simple to use and refill my 7 year old can completely fill it and turn it on with no issues (we went over all the dos and do note) Also when my daughter was catching a seasonal cold and allergies on top of it. I was able to use the vapor pad specifically for the humidifier and it helped her breath. She was also able to get full nights rest with out waking up congested. Also it is quite so my light sleepers were not bothered by this humidifier. (The green light you see in photos times out and turns off after 20 seconds) you can see the humidifier working well enough in the second photo with the shadows/lighting.

                              Best humidifier for Little ones!!
                              Allergy season is upon us in FL and my little one was having trouble sleeping. I purchased the Crane Droplet Humidifier after reading several reviews. This tiny powerhouse is a game changer! My little one is sleeping so much better and so am I!! It is cool-mist (a must in FL), is so simple to use and requires NO FILTERS!! Just use filtered or distilled water. I love that I do not have to worry about pulling out and cleaning a filter or replacing one at any time!! It only has a 1/2 gallon tank, but it lasts 15 hours - which is perfect for running it overnight! This way I don’t have to worry about water sitting in the reservoir. It has 3 different mist settings; Low, Medium & High, which you can change with just the press on the power button. It does not have a nightlight feature, so just make sure to use your little ones normal nightlight if they need it!! DO NOT put any essential oils on the tank!! This has been labeled all over the humidifier so you do not make that mistake! Need a decongestant feature?! No worries, the Crane Droplet offers this too!!! It has a small “Vapor Tray” built into the base of the humidifier where you can place a “Vapor Pad” in. One is provided with the humidifier and more can be purchased separately online. Look for Crane HS-1950 Vapor Pads. They are non-medicated, but have Eucalyptus, Menthol, Peppermint & Spearmint. (Pics below). It smells heavenly and I did notice a difference! Overall - Great humidifier with great features at great price!! I highly recommend!

                                If you suffer from seasonal allergies this ultrasonic cool mist humidifier will be your best friend. I especially like the vapor pad it comes with that smells like eucalyptus and spearmint. When I feel congested I turn this on for half and hour and it helps me breathe a little better. It works best in a small room as opposed to a bigger section like a living room but it definitely makes a difference. The nozzle it comes with can be moved to point a certain way. It has 3 settings (low -high) , I like to keep it on low when I'm not in the room and I switch it to high once I'm in the room for maximum effect.

                                  Cute, small, perfect for me!
                                  This is a better version of any humidifier I’ve tried. It’s compact, has 3 modes, and looks great in my household. It blends into the background and doesn’t stick out. It’s great for my home decor. While most people will use a humidifier for health reasons, I’m using mine to keep my plants happy! I would buy this 10X over again, it’s great. I love that you can change the direction of the cone top to point it to wherever you want. The piece that holds the liquid is also convenient and has a place to put your finger so you can fill it up in one room and carry it back to its home.

                                    Best humidifier yet
                                    First off, I really love that this humidifier warns you not to put any essential oils in the tank, because doing so could crack the tank plastic.....guess who did that with the last humidifier she had?! -I did! So, the optional essential oil/VAPOR Wick tray is a great new feature. I also really like that the shape of the tank, it allows it to dry out much easier in between uses. One tank of water lasts the whole day. IF* it had an internal night light I would give it ten stars! I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

                                      This cool mist humidifier is small, pretty, and goes well in my daughter's room. You can adjust the mist with the low, medium and high settings to whatever level you need it at. It has helped with her sinus issues and minor nose bleeds that arise during the winter and having the heat on. It even has a spot for the vapor pad that was included with the humidifier.
