Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier Cool Mist Humidifier to Help Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms

Living in the single-digit humidity of Phoenix, we need a humidifier to sleep. We have gone through many different ones until we found this one. We have 4 of them, and they continue to shoot water into the air, easily emptying itself in 8 hours and putting humidity from 10-15% up into the mid-30% with second click setting, mid 40’s% with 3 clicks. The others vibrations slowly diminished over a few months, but these are lasting years with no reduction of water. We use RO water with 3 or 4 grains of Leslie’s ChlorBrite spa chlorine with every full fill. weekly so we haven't needed the blue cartridge.Update: have had in bedroom for 5+ years used nightly and transducer starting to get noisy. Others in other bedrooms and motor home used less and still perfect. Will replace with exact same unit.Another update Christmas 2023: Used same unit every night in master bedroom for yet another 2 years. Fantastic unit! Want 45% humidity so 1 click (from off) if 30% or above, 2 clicks if 20-29% and 3 clicks if <20% does the trick. On 3 or fewer clicks the water lasts 2 nights. Use RO water and a very small amount of spa chlorine (explained above) every refill and never slimy or dirty and lid seal is just as functional as it was 6-7 years ago. Forget the Vicks inset, but try essential oils on the pad after menthol runs out.

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!

This Vicks model seems to stop working about every year or year and a half. We have kept buying because it works well and we can reuse the water container from the old ones too. When full of water on high lasts about 12-14 hours. It is very quiet. Careful with cleaning, there is one part you cannot touch.

This product worked great for the first few months we had it. The mist was visible from the spout, even on the lowest setting, and it really helped to humidify the room as advertised. We used it when the kids were sick, and they liked that they could see the mist. Five months into using this occasionally (as you would expect with a humidifier) the unit stopped working. Completely. It will turn on, the light says it is on, but there is no humidified air being pumped out at all. I would not recommend this product if you are looking for something that will last you more than a couple of months.

The humidifier came in perfect condition and faster than expected. It’s not the most attractive device but it holds a lot of water and it’s easy to clean. My old one lasted almost ten years. This new one also has an option to add a scent pad. I love it.

Very happy with my purchase. It is very efficient and quiet. I had purchased another brand and was shocked at how small it was- I promptly returned it.It is hard to beat a Vicks Humidifier!

Bought in November 2023. Worked well. Just took it out again after summer to start using mid October 2024 and it is not working. Stored it properly and when I turn on there is no mist. Know I have to purchase again.

Really puts out moisture like nobody’s business and the mineral bars prevent the white coating that my sisters’s humidifier leaves on everything. Only negative is since I retired I run it 24/7 all winter and find that instead of lasting a few years it now burns out and needs to be replaced every year. But price is affordable enough to do so while friends with pricey humidifiers complain theirs don’t generate enough moisture. So their units may last longer but don’t work very well. I will only buy this Vick’s model.
