Crane Adorable Mini Cool Mist Humidifier - Unicorn

FAQ

Does This Crane Humidifier Have a Light?
The mode indicator lights switch off 20 seconds after selection - ideal for darkened rooms. The adorable mini also has a colour changing night light. You can choose to have this light off, stay on the red light to support sleep or have it cycle through colours.

Why Should I Use a Humidifier? 
The real question is why shouldn't you? Humidifiers add essential moisture to indoor air that air conditioners and heaters can remove.  Having the right balance of moisture in the air can relieve congestion from the common cold and soothe dry and persistent cough, croup, 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, which may make 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're feeling great, our Crane Humidifiers are must-haves. 

Is This Suitable for Babies and Toddlers?
Yes, this unit is designed for use with your baby or toddler and the range of fun designs makes it easy to find something your little one will love. The cool mist technology makes it safe to have in the home, unlike hot steam vaporisers which can be a burns hazard.

Please note it is recommended you use the non-medicated scented vapour pad for ages 3 years and up.

Humidifier or Vaporiser?
Humidifier is the name in the US for what is usually called a Vaporiser (sometimes spelled as vapouriser or vapourizer) in NZ and Australia. It is important to note that Crane Adorable, Drop and Travel Humidifer/Vaporisers are Cool Mist Ultrasonic Vaporisers, not to be confused with warm mist or steam vaporisers.  We use the terms Humidifier and Vaporiser interchangeably when referring to Crane products.

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.

How does the Original Adorable Humidifier differ from the Adorable Mini Humidifier?
The original adorable is bigger and has a large tank capacity. It is 3.75L and the adorable mini is 1.9L. The larger the tank, the longer your Humidifier will run for before needing to be filled. The adorable mini has new features - colour changing night light, compatible with essential oils and has a vapour pad tray. The adorable mini has 3 output settings, the original adorable has a dial control setting. Both run continuously until empty.

Can I Use Essential Oils With My Adorable Mini Humidifier?
Yes! You can now use essential oils that can be placed directly into the water tank.

There is also a vapour pad slot where non-medicated scented vapour pads can be used. 1 sample is provided. Recommended for 3+ years.

However it is primarily the cool mist produced by the Crane Humidifier that is designed to provide relief for dry persistent coughs, nasal congestion, and croup. Paediatricians recommend cool mist to relieve cold and flu symptoms, soothe the throat and reduce swelling. 

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 Pediatrics advises against using over-the-counter cold medication for children under the age of 6. For these reasons, many paediatricians and parents recommend using Cool Mist Humidifiers.
