I bought my crane a couple years ago because of the cool looking design. When I got it, I realized how easy it was to fill/clean, and what I loved most is that it held a lot of water. I love that when you are filling the water, there's also a handle so it won't slip out of your hand. When I had my son a couple years later, I moved it into his room and it still works great! The machine comes in a variety of colors and the design is so sleek, it looks great sitting on any counter or dresser.
