The Droplet is the perfect accessory to any room in your home

The Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier helps to relieve congestion, support easier breathing and is whisper quiet, for a good night’s sleep.

Why should I use a Humidifier? 
The real question is why shouldn’t you? Humidifiers add essential moisture to indoor air, relieving congestion from the common cold and flu and soothing scratchy throats, dry skin and eyes, and irritated sinuses. Perfect for babies, adults, and everyone in between, a humidifier’s additional moisture thins the mucus in the sinuses, making it easier to breathe. And we know that when it comes down to your family’s health, you’re all about breathing easy! Even if you are feeling great, our Crane Humidifiers are must-haves. From smooth skin to shiny hair to cared-for furniture, they keep you and your home looking beautiful and feeling comfortable. Now that's better living.

Which is Better: Warm Mist or Cool Mist? 
The major difference is that a Warm Mist Humidifier is heating the water to produce steam vapour. Cool Mist Humidifiers use an Ultrasonic Nebulizer that vibrates at a very high frequency to produce an extra fine water mist. When it comes to humidifying a room, there is not much of a difference between the two types - both are equally effective. However, paediatricians and parents alike recommend Cool Mist Humidifiers for babies and children because there is no heating element, which could be a safety risk for a child. Cool Mist Humidifiers can also save money on energy costs.

No. Traditional essential oils will damage the ultrasonic membrane in your humidifier and cause the plastic to break down over time.

It is primarily the cool mist produced by the Crane Humidifiers that is so effective at providing relief for dry coughs, nasal congestion and croup.  Paediatricians recommend cool mist to relieve cold and flu symptoms, sooth the throat and reduce swelling.

Using essential oils is not required for the Crane humidifier to be effective in relieving these symptoms, and not recommended as over time oils will degrade the plastic and interfere with the operation of the ultrasonic membrane.  For this reason we recommend that essential oils NOT be used with Crane humidifiers. A glass or ceramic diffuser is more suited for use with oils.

Newborns are Obligate Nasal Breathers, meaning that they can only breathe in through their nose for the first 4-6 months of their lives. Their nostrils are so small that even the tiniest clog can make everything from feeding to sleeping difficult and frustrating. Perhaps more importantly, the American Academy of Paediatrics advises against using Over the Counter Cold Medication for children under the age of 6. For these reasons, paediatricians recommend using Cool Mist Humidifiers to relieve cold and flu symptoms in children. 

It’s simple. Regular cleaning will keep your humidifier running smoother, longer. We highly recommend emptying the water tank and basin after each use and disinfecting them at least once a week with water and a few capfuls of white vinegar. Please check the Manual for further instructions.
