Sadly, summer is departing its beautiful ways and gone are the days of soothing sunshine, warmth rays, cooling breezes and the laugher of being outside in all the fun. Well, it's not quite over but when school hits, it certainly feels like the end to me! With the onset of schools is yet another season of fear for me as I have two children with chronic medical conditions. My youngest, three years old, has never been fully diagnosed other than they think she has a severe form of asthma and allergies and is on two daily medications a day. It would be four if I gave her the other two over the counter ones but I don't want to bombard her system unnecessarily. As school means germs, colds can be deadly around here as two year's ago, she nearly died and was intubated for two weeks at a children's hospital. Last year, we only had to go twice to the ER so that's progress.
We try many things to prevent the germs and spread of colds such as avid washers of hands, users of sanitizers and I can officially proclaim that I'm a hand sanitizer pusher! Yes, that's me! Enter my house and be prepared to sanitize! Sneeze, you guessed it! Either wash your hands or sanitize. Outside of those two key tasks, we also use humidifiers. They seem to work and do the trick as last year, I used Crane cool red Dragon Cool Mist Humidifier and it worked like a charm and not to mention, it's adorable for kids!
My pediatrician, among many others, strongly recommended the use of cool mist humidifiers during my children's bouts with colds.
Unfortunately, we have a large house so having another humidifier was needed. When I contacted Crane about a review, they offered me our choice among so many different styles so it was hard to choose. One of my kids is a Hello Kitty huge fan so that was our choice. If you aren't familiar with Crane, they have humidifiers available in:
They also have air purifiers, tower fans, heaters and accessories.
The Review
The great thing about Crane is the kids love them so they ensure you are filling it back up and running it. The Hello Kitty Cool Mist Humidifier has many great features such as a built in night light, a one gallon tank to reduce the refill times, very quiet, an auto off function when the tank is empty, removable tank that eases refills under almost any sink, energy efficient and FDA registered.
The size is perfect for small areas and I like that I don't have to keep refilling it. It really is very quiet and is a nice distraction for when they are under the weather. My Crane humidifier I used last year is still going strong so I know that I can count on the durability of their humidifiers. It has been dropped a couple of times and it's still working. There are no filters either which I love!
Crane also provides online cleaning and product videos which for us online parents, it's a way to learn we prefer. It seems to me that Crane tries to provide the resources parents need to do the best for their children.
Overall, I have not found a better humidifier that I like and would recommend the Crane system of humidifiers
