I think that the humidifier will be great for cold and flu season, but also has other features that are great, including the nightlight and the sound machine!
The AAP recommends a baby's nursery to between 40 and 60% humidity. This is the perfect addition to any nursery! The sound machine is great and so is the nightlight. It actually prevents you from needing to purchase more than one product because ti has the sound machine and nightlight all together. The best part is that it's SO EASY TO CLEAN. Top fill makes a huge difference. I have the original drop and I found this to be so much easier to fill and place on the basin.
For years - the Crane Drop Humidifier has been my 'go-to' baby shower/new mom/dad gift. Everyone I have given the Drop to has loved it. I bought another for my cousin who is a new mom and I noticed that it now has the sound machine and aroma tray! Brilliant!
I have a few crane humidifiers because we live in a really dry climate. I have the previous drop humidifiers and they work great but I have to say that I'm SO SO impressed with this upgraded model. First of all, we usually have a sound machine, night light, and humidifier running in my son's room every night. This new Drop eliminates the clutter and the need for so many sleep aids - I am so happy with it! The sounds are lovely to sleep to, my son loves the night light function, and it is so easy to clean! I love not trying to fit the whole top in the sink and filling it with a pitcher instead - less mess and way easier.
I'm extremely happy with the Crane 4-in-1 Humidifier with Sound Machine. Instead of having to keep track of separate electronics (humidifier, sound machine, nightlight, & oil diffuser), this one product houses all of them. It’s easy to move from room to room and is compact enough to take with us when we travel. The entire device is really easy to clean: this had been an issue with other brands' humidifiers I've tried. Also, I appreciate that it's both cool mist and ultrasonic so it can be used in a nursery! I had no trouble figuring out how to operate the different settings. I love having control over the sound machine's volume as well as the level of moisture being released from the device. With the swivel top, I can aim the mist whichever direction I want. The removable power cord is a nice touch—no more tripping over cords. One of the most impressive features was that I didn’t need to frequently fill the tank up, and when I did, the top fill design made it easy to pour water right in. Definitely glad we have this humidifier! It alleviated dry sinuses and chapped lips the first night we used it.
I got the new Crane top fill with sound machine mostly because I loved that it included the sound machine. What I realized was it was the cleaning that I loved the most. Love the fact that I can place my hand inside the tank to clean. I also like the ease of the detachable cord. Perfect.
