How long does the tank last?

At low output it can run most of a night; on high it typically empties in several hours. Expect to refill it daily in regular use.

Does it work with essential oils?

The vapor tray is made for aroma pads or menthol vapor pads, not loose oil poured into the water. Add oils to the pad, not the tank.

It suits a small bedroom, nursery or office. For a large open room, a bigger Crane model with a one-gallon tank is a better fit.

It shuts off automatically when the tank empties, so it can run unattended. Keep it off carpet and away from walls so mist does not dampen surfaces.

It uses the same cool mist and vapor tray idea in a smaller 0.5-gallon body. The bigger models run longer between refills and cover more space.

No filter is required for the mist. The vapor pads are optional, and the tank and base should be rinsed and descaled regularly.
