Our Verdict
Arctic Air Pure Chill
Crane Droplet
The Crane Droplet is a far more effective humidifier than the Arctic Air Pure Chill. The Crane can produce a higher volume of mist and run for substantially longer thanks to its bigger water tank. It's also far quieter than the Arctic Air and has only a slightly larger footprint.
