Vicks Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier vs Crane Personal Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

Buy the Vicks if you want a small-room humidifier that also diffuses VapoPads and essential oils, with color-changing light and a two-year warranty. Buy the Crane if you need a compact travel unit with a rotating mist lid and bottom-fill tank. The Vicks holds more water, runs up to 24 hours on low and has a wide top opening for cleaning; the Crane is smaller and simpler, with a one-year warranty. Owners rate the Vicks well overall, but some report leaks and short tank life; the Crane's small tank means frequent refills.

• Choose the Vicks Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier if you want aromatherapy, VapoPad support and a night light in a bedroom or nursery up to 200 square feet.
• Choose the Crane Personal Ultrasonic Cool Mist Travel Humidifier if you want a compact, filter-free unit to carry between rooms or on trips.
