Read the instruction manual b4 u complain about it...
I received this humidifier 2 weeks ago after searching for a decent humidifier to replace the one i owned that was famous for robbing me in replacements filter, etc. fees. This thing fits the bill. The design is great, it's super quiet, and gets the job done. In choosing this product i read all the reviews. The reviews that made me hesitant to purchase this were the complaints that said: a)that the furniture on and around the humidifier got wet all the time, b)that the machine did not cut off if empty, as advertised, c)that the machine is hard to clean, and d) that it makes a lot of noise. With hesitation, I purchased the product in good faith. I was immediately pleased by the design. I read the owner's manual even though i thought it all was a "no brainer". The manual actually explained a)how to adjust the mist as to not wet the furniture around it, and b)that the machine will turn off when empty, but the light on the device will remain lite...obviously...

Read the instruction manual first
I purchased the Crane cool mist humidifier in Dec'10 and have used it, with great success, for many months. With all the negative reviews (about 20%) I almost didn't purchase this machine. But I'm glad I did, because it works really well for what it is: a mid size/capacity humidifier.First of all: ***this humidifier has a 2.3 gallon per day maximum output, with a .9 gallon tank.*** Amazon's initial title for this (and many other humidifiers) mentions daily output capacity rather than tank size... this may be confusing, although the correct specs are prominently listed on the Amazon page - fifth bullet point in the "product features" section. As for Crane (the manufacturer), their package clearly states a 2.3 gallon daily output, and .9 gallon tank size... The reviewers complaining about the "misleading name" should try emailing Amazon suggesting a title change on their website... instead of writing a 1 or 2 star review of the product. That would be more helpful and more...

Wonderful cool-mist humidifier!
This humidifier is the perfect size for a bedroom. The tank empties in about a day, so the water doesn't sit around too long to get mildew or mold. The humidifier puts out lots of moisture, and is absolutely whisper-quiet! We have the penguin-shaped one for our son's room, and this one for ours. Both are great.

Steamy Temperatures Lead To Air Quality Warning
31.05.11 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

The hot, sunny weather has prompted one of central Ohio's earliest ozone alerts in the last decade.

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission issued an orange alert for both Memorial Day and today. That is the third-highest of six categories, meaning the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. Active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors, the agency said.

One level higher and air quality would be considered unhealthy for everyone, but conditions are expected to moderate Wednesday and Thursday as temperatures drop into the mid-80s as a weak cold front moves through, dispersing some pollutants.

Last year the first ozone alert didn't occur until June 18 and, on average over the last 10 years, the first alert hadn't been issued until late June, according to data provided by the MORPC, which issues the alerts in the Columbus region.

The temperature on Memorial Day hit 92 degrees, three degrees off the record set in 1985 and 14 degrees above the average high for the day. The high for today is expected to hit 93, again nearing the 1985 record of 95.
