Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in a very dry apartment in NYC that gets radiator heat. I really wanted to purchase the Honeywell Humidifier, unfortunately it was out of stock at the time I really needed a humidifier and I bought a Crane Drop Humidifier instead. The Crane humidifier did the job, but was a pain to clean, didn't change humidity as much as I weanted and just felt weak. I kept it anyway, because, well I needed a humidifier and one that didn't take much space. Now I get my Honeywell unexpectedly early and let me say, avoid the Crane and get this Honeywell. Ill include some pictures for comparison. Pros: Easy to clean (especially compared to Crane) I fill it only once a day. (Vs. 2-3 times with Crane) Attached and spinning directional component allows you to turn direction of humidifier but stays on tight. Simple understated design. Honeywell offers a 2yr warranty. Auto shutoff and light is far less annoying than on other units and you can place a piece of tape over it. Cons: Since the crane and the Honeywell both take a gallon, I wonder if the Honeywell is actually outputting less than the Crane or if it is just a better use of technology and doing more with less. Lack of colors, while I am cool with the design and I am happy that the black unit I purchased blends in, since the unit takes space, it would have been nice to be a design/colorful piece. It is noisier than the Crane and quite so. While its not as loud as a Laptop computer fan, it comes close to it. I actually like it as it creates a slight white noise but it is still a con. As soon as you start a conversation or play music, you wont notice it. I only notice it when i am writing or reading, but I also get annoyed at ticking clocks, so thats just me. As you can see from the pictures, the Honeywell seems to produce more than the Crane at all settings. Also the design of the honeywell makes it easy to clean.
