Customer Review: Works well, low hassle maintenance
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this humidifier for more than a year now, and have been very happy with it. It's very quiet for the baby's room, and I haven't had a problem with the white dust, although it's not on 24-7.
Advice: be sure to empty and refill the tank and base daily if possible to keep the filter in good shape. And don't leave the water standing in it while you're on vacation- it's nearly impossible to hand scrub the tank- had to buy a flexible bottle brush for that one, lol.
I recently needed to replace the water tank (I dropped it and cracked it slightly). I was a little disappointed that they don't offer replacement parts for it. I'll search for a used one so I can keep using it. I am able to find filters for it pretty easily at the place of purchase- Meijer (a Michigan chain).
If I can't find a replacement tank, I will probably by a new one just like it.
Customer Review: works great!

After endless reviews of humidifiers, i chose this one. Actually, i was getting quite frustrated and bought this one, feeling like they all stick and nothing is going to make me happy anyways. well, i was wrong. i chose this mid-price model and definitely got my moneys worth. i have been using it less than a month, but am very happy. it holds a gallon, but i use the mid-setting and the gallon lasts me two nights, plus a little extra. i found if i left it on the highest setting, the mist settled on my floor because i keep the room temperature too cold(which i need to sleep!)But even at the highest setting, it is very quiet. it has never leaked either. the only downfall is there is no automatic shut off. but for me, it doesnt matter. even after 2 nights(9-10 hours) there is some water in the reserve so i shut it off when i wake up. great buy in my opinion!Customer Review: Great Product --- Great Customer Service

I sent an email to Vicks about the coupons that I found in the humidifier I bought for my dd. I was excited when I found coupons in the box, but less than excited to see that they expired a month before the baby was born!
So after emailing Vicks, they told me that another company called Kaz actually produced it for them and I needed to contact them directly about getting replacement coupons.
Well, needless to say just a couple weeks went by and amazingly, there were coupons for Vicks products in my mailbox! :D
By the way, I LOVE the Vicks Ultrasonic (Cool Mist) Humidifier, Model V5100N!!!!!! I had the Evenflo (hot) Humidifier and it did not put out near as much steam and was a burn risk to boot!!!
Customer Review: Pleasantly surprised

I purchased this humidifier for my baby, however used it for myself first. I was worried, remembering the humidifiers from when I was a kid, that made a lot of noise, dampened any area within 5 feet of the machine and spilled out easily if the machine was bumped or while taking it to refill, not mention the moldy smell.
This machine was so simple to use, attractive and best of all quiet and efficient. The gentle sound was actually soothing to fall asleep to. The mist was strong enough to help my stuffy nose, but never got the carpet or anything near it wet. I woke up relieved, well rested and extremely pleased!! I am also happy that I tried it out myself and feel very confident putting it in my baby's room.
Customer Review: CAUTION--DO NOT BUY

This product must have some sort of defect. I am on my third Kaz humidifier this winter so far. This one in particular is better than the other two--I have also had two of the personal-sized units, do not even bother with those--but it is a hassle to use, the cartridges are not available anywhere at the moment to buy and the air it blows has a strage odor to it. The only good thing I can say about this company is that they are pretty good with customer service. I have sent two units back to them that they have replaced after I paid for shipping and they cast several rude comments my way suggesting that I was the one who was operating it incorrectly. Go with another company. Holmes makes a much better product.
