Crane Germ Defense Humidifier Review

 

 

Crane Germ Defense Humidifier

Review:

 

Our home is very well insulated. It keeps the heating and cooling costs down. However, this also makes the air very dry and my sinuses suffer somewhat from this. As I was searching for a humidifier, I found the Crane “Germ Defense” ultrasonic warm and cool mist humidifier. Wow, that was a mouthful! Anyways, I liked the fact that it helps to fight germs from growing and the fact that I could use it for warm or cold mist humidifying.

I visited the site (http://crane-usa.com/) and these are the features:

  • Germ Defense antimicrobial protection in water tank creates a germ free mist
  • Choose warm or cool mist for customizable comfort
  • Ionizer enriches mist for fresher air
  • Increases air moisture for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep
  • 1.2 gallon water tank runs whisper quiet up to 72 hours
  • Mists up to 2.5 gallons of moisture per day
  • Effectively humidifies rooms up to 500 square feet
  • 360˚ nozzle for directional misting
  • Auto shutoff safety sensor
  • Uses less energy than a standard household light bulb
  • Does not require a filter

When I got it out of the box it only took about 5 minutes of reading and I knew what to do. Actually, most of my reading was general cleaning and understanding how an ultrasonic humidifier works. Crane simplifies it for you; just fill it up, plug it in, and turn it on. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

They have a digital and a manual unit. I got the manual one, but they both do the same thing. I guess it’s up to personal preference. Here is a picture of the digital one:

When you turn it on it is by far the quietest humidifier that I have ever had (or seen for that matter). I guess that’s one of the pluses for having an ultrasonic unit.

We have hard water, so I opted to use distilled water. Crane sells a demineralization filter that you can use with this unit, but for now, I think I’ll just use distilled water. It works very well and automatically shuts off when the water level is too low.

Since I have been using the Crane Humidifier, I no longer wake up with dry sinuses or my usual dry cough. And when the air was really dry we would zap each other with static electricity and now we have eliminated that annoyance.

The multi-directional nozzle rotates all the way around to aim it wherever I want it.

If you have been looking for a humidifier, remember the name “Crane”. You will want to consider them in your decision. I can’t say that I understand exactly how it work, I just know it works. I won’t be without a “Germ Defense” Humidifier anymore. I mean, why would you want to be putting germs into the air that you’re breathing?

Thanks for listening and I hope this helps you in your search for a good humidifier.

I Started out in 1976 trying out to sing in bands but no bands were interested in me. In 1977 I started playing guitar. The individual that was teaching me (who for now will remain anonymous) told me that I would NEVER learn how to play guitar because I had no sense of rhythm. I joined my first band in 1978 called "Dead Center" in Jacksonville, Florida. I played an Aspen guitar, black; a Les Paul copy and in 1981. I gave that guitar to the teacher who said I'd never learn to play. I wrote my first song in 1979 or '80. Over the years I have been in many bands but my passion has been songwriting. I have written well over 100 songs and though the early ones were kind of rough around the edges, I think that most of them could be dusted off and given a new facelift. Today I am still working on my songs. Currently I can play guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, harmonica, and Native American flute. The flutes that I play are ones that I made myself. My guitars are the Epiphone G-400 faded, an Ibanez RG370 DX, an Epiphone G 1275 double neck guitar. My acoustic guitars are an Alvarez 12 string and an old Kay guitar. My drum set is a Peace drum set. I do my recording on a Zoom HD16.
