I really love this humidifier and the great features it offers! The quick-start directions on the front of the instruction manual are perfect for this busy mom! All I had to do was fill the tank with water and place on a flat, elevated surface.  I am thankful for the "do not place on wood surface" warning.  It was very easy to set up. I like that I am able to adjust the intensity on the humidifier. It is easy to clean.  I like that I can clean it with vinegar and water if I do not have the Crane Cleaner available. The sound machine is a great feature!  Our house loves sound machines for sleeping so this is something we use often! The nightlight with different color options is also really great - we love the red light!  The kids love it! I am a huge fan of using the vapor pad/aroma tray for different essential oils!  I really appreciate the "Do Nots" listed throughout the manual to ensure proper and safe use.
