One of those "issues" has always been Asthma and honestly anything to do with the air quality around me! When I was younger, my asthma was mostly exercise induced but as I've gotten older, it's only gotten worse. I especially had a hard time when I moved down south to Georgia. The pollen made it impossible for me to breathe!
When Kevin and I first got married, he also complained of the frequent issues Alana would experience particularly with bloody noses due to the lack of moisture in her room. They had a humidifier for her but it was one of those gawd awful old one's that had been handed down to him. I knew it was not going to work in general let alone for much longer once the boys came along - promise!
Once we moved back up to Michigan, the pollen issues obviously lessened but still I seem to have passed down those terrible allergies and sinus problems. There is always someone in my household who seems to be sick especially this winter (2014). We have had more snow recorded here in Michigan this winter than ever in history. So when Crane USA first agreed to work with me, I was thrilled to give a quality company a try!
"Crane USA was founded in 2005 on the belief that design is an attitude and the home is a personal expression of an individual's lifestyle. We also realize that more than ever before people are looking to improve their health and their home environment. Crane is a company that recognizes these health concerns and people’s individual lifestyles."
I think this is great (if of course the products serve a purpose). Who wants to sport a boring and unappealing air purifier, humidifier, night light, heater and more around their home? Not me! I want every gadget in my home to fit my unique personality and style. This includes all aspects of my home and family!
Crane USA sent me over their "Mean Green Moisture Machine" aka the Gator Cool Mist Humidifier to help my family out with all their health problems. This guy is a special Walmart exclusive but their are tons of these adorable character humidifiers which you can pick to fit any decor! Plus if you are looking for something a little less child-like then you can choose from the Drop designs Crane has available.
It covers large rooms up to 250 square feet. He is extremely quiet and powerful, running for up to 24 hours. This green meanie is even low in power consumption using "less energy than a standard household light bulb" and requires no filter (like the old one Kevin had)! Nothing can compare to this black beauty."
"Misting up to 2.1 gallons of moisture per day", we have actually been using this in Alana's room the past two weeks. Originally we had planned on it for the boys who are always sick but ever since we got Alana her Bearded Dragons for Christmas, her room has been ridiculously dry.
The lizards require heat lamps constantly which have dried out her room so much she was back to having several bloody noses a day. After only ONE day using the Crane humidifier in her room, the bloody noses stopped. She has this running each night as she sleeps and hasn't had one happen in over two weeks now!
Available to purchase/Cost: $30 Gator Exclusive
Recommendation: This IS AWESOME! When you look at the cost of other humidifiers, this one's cost and results don't compare! I was very satisfied with all aspects of this one, so much that we are even going to be getting another solely for Alana's room! I cannot wait to work with such an awesome company again!
