So far I love my new Crane humidifier.  It is really quiet.  The adjustable feature for the mist is wonderful as well.  I am using it in my bedroom and it appears to be doing an excellent job. I woke up feeling less nasal congestion and my throat did not seem dry. I also like the sound and light features.  It would be nice in a child's room since it has a night light and sound machine.  It was also easy to assemble, I had it out of the box and running within 10 minutes.  I highly recommend this Crane product.
