Humidify Me

[BabyStandish]

DS's humidifier broke last night so I'm looking for a new one. Any recommendations? The one we had was super cheap so we want to get a better one this time, but nothing above $60-70.

We have cranes. They work fine for us. You can get them at target or the baby stores

Do those require filters?

We have the crane elephant one. It works fine.

Nope! We have an elephant one and a tear drop one

If you have a bigger room, we have this one for our bedroom and it does a good job: smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-HCM350W-Germ-Humidifier-White/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1487953088&sr=8-9&keywords=humidifier

It does require filters, though - we had one without a filter and the white vinegar cleaning got to me. I find it easy to fill and we only fill it 2-3 times a week during the winter.

I had a crane penguin one. After ten years it did die but for 70 Canadian It had a good run. I will get Crane again. Possibly the owl 🦉 possibly the teardrop

we have the crane elephant in DD's room and bought a different animal (maybe a polar bear?) for the new baby's room. we've had no problems with it, although we don't run it constantly. FFFC: i haven't even cleaned ours. we always use distilled water and it looks perfectly clean.

Can I slightly High Jack this thread and ask how I'm suppose to use the humidifier? We were gifted one of the crane tear drop ones but I have no clue what to do with it. Do I run it every night? Only under certain conditions? I guess I don't really know what it's suppose to do

We only use it in the winter when it's really dry or we're really congested..

I only use it when DS is sick and congested. We have a cool mist tear drop.

Just be careful how high you turn it on. I went in one morning and half the crib was soaked. Oops.

We have an off-brand version of this Crane:

www.amazon.com/Crane-Drop-Ultrasonic-Cool-Humidifier/dp/B0046A6WJI/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487961348&sr=8-2&keywords=remedies+cool+mist

It does have filters but they last the whole winter. No issues with it in two years of use. It's cool mist and we don't get white crap everywhere like I do with my desk one at the office.

We had a crane elephant from target and it worked well for two years then suddenly stopped misting. Air would still come through but no mist. We replaced it recently with a Vick's humidifier that we like so far. We have a pro care brand for our room, but it pumps the mist out the front to instead of up, so it wouldn't work as well for where we have V's humidifiers set up in his room.

ugaqueencity we only turn on V's when he has a cough.
