This is the best hot humidifier in my opinion! I get one every year I don’t even care they only last a year. I use sink water and it has never ruined it! I’ve used so many other humidifiers that tap water creates a buildup and ruins it eventually. I don’t have daily purified bottled water kind of money in this economy! So this unit is the best in my opinion! It’s durable! It lasts for hours and a lot of humidity/steam comes out!

This device was invented in the 1920s by the KAZ company (now sold under the Vicks brand) and is still an excellent choice for humidification. Most importantly, unlike cool mist humidifiers, which tend to disperse a fine white dust in your home unless you use very soft or distilled water, a vaporizer retains the minerals in the water basin. It is also far less likely to be a source of mold or bacteria dispersal. It is quiet, and you can control the amount of steam released to a certain extent by regulating the amount of mineral content in the water:If you have soft water, see if it will function. If not, then add a tiny pinch of salt and test again. One of the mistakes that people make using these vaporizers just to add too much salt at once, which increases the load on the electrical circuit and tends to trip fuses and circuit breakers.With a minimum of maintenance described in the user guide, this device will work for years, and supply healthful humidity during cold seasons.By my calculation, it uses less than 638 watts, depending on the mineral content of the water (how rapidly it emits steam). My calculation:110 volts * 5.8 amps = 638 wattsIt is indicated on the vaporizer itself that it will use less than 5.8 amps.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s in a desert climate my mother always had her trusty Vick's steam humidifier rocking to make the house's air more pleasant. Every once in a while we'd dismantle it to remove the hard water deposits from the rods to get it back up to tip top shape.The second I moved out of mom's in the late 90s I bought my own and it was just as trustworthy. Ten years later I replaced it when it stopped working and that one was just as effective.But this latest version that I bought last fall is a joke. This is NOT the same humidifier Vicks used to sell. Where their previous product used to put out a solid stream of steam this PoS bubbles and gurgles to put out a pathetic amount of vapor. You HAVE to add salt if you want it to actually work anymore.When I went to clean the heating rods (which now needs to be done at least once a month where previously they only needed to be serviced twice a year), they're a different metal than what Vicks used to use. They're paper thin and black where they used to be thick with a tinge of coppery color. Just touching them while cleaning leaves your fingers blacker than a coal miner which NEVER happened with their previous humidifiers. Either my city completely changed our water right when I bought this, or Vicks is using the cheapest possible materials to make this. Which one is more likely?But even beyond it's pathetic performance and garbage Chinesium materials, they shortened the rods by what seems to be about 2 inches. This leaves the bottom of the rods WAY short of the bottom of the water reservoir. Where previously when the unit would turn off due to low water you were left with only an inch of water in the bottom of the tub. Now it turns off when the tub is half full.If you have one of their older humidifiers dismantle it and clean it. Don't make the same mistake I did and replace it. These new ones are literal garbage.
