Customer Review: Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifiers aren't what they're cut out to be!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently purchased 2 Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifiers in Jan 2006 and received them by the 3rd week of Jan 06. On 2 Feb 06 (having used them only 2 weeks) one of them stopped putting out the humidifying vapor. I followed the manual's instructions to the letter by cleaning the tank with bleach and the base I used vinegar to clean what white dust (if any since I'm using the cartridge)it might have. Having followed the manual instructions to the letter, the humidifier turns on but there is no mist coming out of the mist nozzle. I plan in contacting the manufacturer for a replacement or refund. Good luck to those of you who are considering in purchasing a Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier!Customer Review: Great humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
Our son gets asthma and croup from colds, so having a good humidifier was essential to keep his airway open. This was our third and final humidifier. After wasting our money on cheapo humidifiers that stopped working after a couple months, and that were awkward to fill and transport without spilling and to assemble correctly to get going, this humidifer worked like a charm. Sometimes there is a slight medicinal smell in the room in the morning, but it's not overwhelming, or that different from any other humidifier. We have had this humidifier for two years now and with proper maintenance it still runs like the day we bought it.Customer Review: STINKY FROM THE GET GO

WE BOUGHT THIS AFTER OUR VICKS COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF USE. iT WORKS GOOD. iT WORKS SO GOOD THAT WE USUALLY HAVE TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE MORNING BECAUSE IT GETS TO HOT IN MY BABIES ROOM. IT IS VERY QUIET AND CAN HARDLY HEAR IT, BUT THE MIST COMING OUT STINKS LIKE A PIG FARM! IT HAS SMELLED THIS WAY SINCE THE FIRST NIGHT WE USED IT. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER SOME USE-MAYBE A NEW PLASTIC SMELL. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND IT STILL SMELLS. WE WILL RETURN IT TODAY. I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH LUCK WITH VICKS PRODUCTS. I WILL PROBABLY TRY A DIFFERENT BRAND.Customer Review: OK, not great. Not silent, either.
Summary: 3 Stars
(1) Bought this humidifier advertised as "silent." Silent to me means that it doesn't make noise, and not having owned a humidifier before that's what I expected. It's not LOUD but it makes noise. (2) Covered every single thing in my room with white dust the first day. Gross. (3) Gets really dirty inside the unit and you have to clean it. (4) It BROKE! Stopped working suddenly, no power at all after 10 months. Kaz will replace it but I have to ship the whole mess myself which will probably cost a pretty penny, and the replacement won't arrive for 4-6 weeks. (5) I will be looking for a different model.Customer Review: Great quiet humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for a 7-month old baby's room that is often very dry. Have owned a Holmes cold-mist humidifier in the past, but were looking for something quieter. We have had this for about 3 weeks, and it is working very well - quiet, the mist stream and nozzle set up is nice, let you point the visible mist away from walls. Best thing is that it IS much quieter than the cold-mist humidifiers we have tried/used in the past.
One short-coming: no humidistat, so we have to manually turn it off - this is a bit of a pain late at night.
