Warm Mist Humidifier for Small to Medium Rooms, White

Quiet, Steady Steam That Really HelpsThis 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.

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’ve been using the Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really pleased with its performance. It puts out a steady, warm mist that helps a lot with dry air and congestion especially during cold and allergy seasons. The option to add Vicks VapoSteam is a nice bonus when you need extra relief.The unit is quiet enough for nighttime use and does a good job humidifying a medium-sized bedroom. Cleaning is fairly easy, though you do need to stay on top of it to prevent mineral buildup especially if you have hard water.A couple of things to note: the water tank could be a little larger it usually lasts through the night, but just barely. And while it’s not loud, there’s a slight bubbling sound that might bother light sleepers.

UPDATE 12/11/16:Alas, after 4 hard winters of nonstop use, this humidifier finally died on me. Just ordered a new one.UPDATE 12/16/13:It's been a year since I purchased this. I used it daily throughout the winter, put it in storage for spring and summer, and brought it out again when it got cold enough for the heat to be turned on. It still functions perfectly through daily use. I clean it once every 2-3 weeks, by soaking the heating component in apple vinegar overnight and scraping at the calcium deposits with a toothpick to avoid damaging the surface. It doesn't completely remove the buildup, but does a good enough job.I'm bumping this review up to 5 stars because of how satisfied I am with the quality. Even with daily use, it hasn't shown any signs of breaking down.Notes:- one full tank of water lasts approximately 12 hours on 'low' setting- as the humidifier burns down to the last of the water, it emits an "overheated" smell. I feel like this is more noticeable when the heating component hasn't been cleaned in a while and has built up a lot of calcium deposits.- despite the bad smell at the end of a tank of water, I feel completely safe with leaving the humidifier on and unattended while I'm at work. The auto-shutoff hasn't failed me yet--------------------------------Original review:I've been using this for 2 weeks now and am very pleased with it. I decided that I needed a humidifier since the heat's been on and I've been waking up with my throat parched and sinuses clogged, plus my iguana seems to be getting dehydrated. She was also the main factor in why I chose a warm mist humidifier, as I was concerned that cool mist might make the room too cold when the heat isn't on.The quality is very good for its price. Not cheap plastic. Base is sturdy and all parts fit together nicely. The only questionable part is the handle built into the bottom of the water tank--feels like it could break off with the weight of a full tank of water (you're supposed to carry it with a hand under it anyway).Unbeknownst to me, my mom also ordered a humidifier from QVC ($50) which arrived a day later. I could tell right away that the build was much cheaper quality than the Vicks for $20 more, so I had it returned.My room is pretty small, and the `low' setting with my door closed is enough to humidify my room throughout the night. However, I can see it probably taking a while to humidify a large bedroom or living room, even on `high' setting. The noise is not quite "whisper quiet" as it advertises, but it's soft enough to easily sleep through. I'm a light sleeper, and even on the high setting it only takes a minute to get used to the gurgling and fall asleep to it.There was a good amount of buildup in the heating chamber after 2 weeks of not cleaning, but a vinegar soak and a scrub with paper towel was enough to clean it. I use water from a Pur faucet purifier.Reading the critical reviews here makes me worried about its performance lasting... I'm happy with it now, but I'll update if my experience changes.
