Warm Mist Humidifier

I purchased this humidifier during the winter months for my bedroom since I kept on catching a cold and getting very congested and wheezing in my sleep. This Vicks humidifier was really helpful throughout the whole winter it lets out a nice amount of mist and you can really tell the difference its a great feeling waking up not as congested as before. I like that it has 2 settings on the high setting you can run it for around 8-9 hours which will last you the whole night on the lower setting it will last for around 19- 20 hours on average. I also love that it has a auto turn off so you dont have to worry about it staying on when the water runs out. Like any humidifier or anything that you let water sit in MOLD WILL GROW so dont flip out if you see mold whats good about this is that its very easy to clean out and with proper maintenance you wont have any major issues with mold or anything else like that. You can wipe it clean or use vinegar to kill the mold this one is very easy to clean. My only issue is that its just a little big so its hard to find the perfect spot to put it but thats just my preference so I cant take off a star for that reason alone. On the other hand a plus of having a bigger humidifier is that the water will last longer and will reach your whole room instead of just 1 small area. I also like that this is not to noisy its actually a soft soothing noise that helps me fall asleep. All in all this is a great humidifier it really works well does a perfect job easy to use easy to clean and a solid price point as well. If you found my review helpful it’d be great if you[...]. I am happy to leave reviews to help others make decisions prior to purchase and I enjoy reading your reviews to help me with mine

The humidifier was a return that I thought that I would take a chance on to save some money. It turned out to be a good decision. The humidifier works great. It has only two settings, but for my needs, it's perfect. The tank is a bit smaller than a previous humidifier, so it needs to be filled a bit more often, but for me, that's not a problem either. The tank has a handle on both the top and bottom so it's easy to carry when full of water. Has a screw in "valve" which seals well. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I do not add vaporizer. Just water.

I live in the northeast US and winter is too dry on acoustic guitars. Yes, a sound-hole humidifier takes care of the body, but what about the neck? Since moving east, I have noticed that the guitars I keep out to practice on have required truss-rod adjustments and some fret-reduction during the winters; due to the heating required here. As the humidity decreases there is a real danger of warped necks, popped frets and the attendant buzzing. My practice room is about 15 X 20 feed (approx 300 sq ft.) and it's too much hassle to constantly get the guitars out of their cases to play throughout the day. A humidifier should be able to resolve the issue, but which one is best? As I began to research the issue, I soon discovered that there is much variability in price and quality. After many hours researching the reviews, I decided on this simple unit as a "proof of concept" experiment. If this can keep the humidity around 45% I will consider the trial a success. There are many more expensive units, but the reviews indicate that, to a certain extent, all of them are flawed in one, often several ways: Leaks, cleaning inconvenience, noise, lack of accurate built-in humidity-control, and quality control issues from assembly errors to short life-times. Rats! What to do? Fortunately, this unit is simple to operate, is very quiet and fairly clean during use, provided I use distilled water. As I already steam-distill my own water for health reasons, this is not a problem for me. Certainly, there will still be some clean-up to do, but I'm willing to perform the necessary things to ensure the health and longevity of my instruments. Here are my results so far. A gallon of distilled water lasts about three days, as i monitor the humidity and have found that intermittent operation (after an initial hydration of the room and furnishings) is adequate to keep the humidity between 35-45 percent. This does require a digital hygrometer, but as I already own one of those, it is not a problem to monitor the relative humidity throughout the day. My routine is to turn the unit on low for a few hours, then off again for a few hours. If measurement indicates a lowering humidity, I turn the unit on for half an hour and the humidity levels stabilize within that period. In the evening I run it for a few hours before retiring and the humidity levels stay relatively constant throughout the night as our exhalation adds to whatever is already present in the room. There is no easy way to maintain humidity levels constant without expensive equipment, and so far I find this unit fulfills my requirements. Since using it, my truss rods have not needed any adjustment, and the guitars stay in-tune. Is it perfect? No. My only gripe is that a small amount of water stays in the well in which the water-container rests. it doesn't leak on the surface it's on (a wide window-sill), but I do monitor it just to be sure. So far, no issues. It would be nice if it had a feature to control it's run-time according to a hygrometer, but reviews of units with this feature indicate it fails after a short time. It's an added plus that the increased humidity benefits our noses as well; they are not as dried-out and breathing is easier. It is a pain to have to do this over the winter, but I cherish my instruments as friends, and need them to be stable for when I perform. When I need to travel I simply place the guitars in a case with their body-humidifier and they stay closed until opened on stage. No problems so far. Now that I know this system works, I will keep searching for a reliable automated unit, and give this one to my son to keep his guitars humidified in his room. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the Vicks unit.

Quiet, Steady Steam That Really Helps This Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier has been a welcome addition to my bedroom, especially during dry winter nights. Setup was simple—fill the tank, snap it in, and it’s ready to go. The steam comes out quickly and runs consistently without much noise, so it doesn’t interfere with sleep. I’ve noticed it really helps keep my throat and nasal passages from drying out overnight, and it does make a difference with congestion during colds. The water tank is a good size and lasts through the night without needing a refill. Cleaning is fairly straightforward, though like all humidifiers it’s best if you stay on top of it to prevent mineral buildup. The option to add Vicks VapoSteam is a nice touch when extra relief is needed. One thing to keep in mind: the steam is warm (as advertised), so placement is important if you’ve got kids around—better to keep it out of reach. Bottom line: A reliable, easy-to-use warm mist humidifier that makes the air noticeably more comfortable and is especially helpful during cold and allergy season.

Works very well, Easy to use, easy refill, easy to clean. I seem to have to replace every 2 1/2 years. This year, the handle cracked (a first). Still like them for price and reasons stated in previous sentence.
