Customer Reviews of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: A good unit for a small room
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, this is a decent little evaporator humidifier for a small room. I bought one for a bedroom about 12 x 10 and it does a good job. On the low setting it is nice and quiet.
People who complain about how loud it is on high probably have never owned an evaporator before. Any of them are going to be loud on the high setting--and this one is not as bad as some. Think of it like the heater fan in your car. When you put it on high it's loud, but you only run it on high in extreme cases. If you have to run this humidifier on high all the time then you did not spend enough money to buy one properly sized for the space you are conditioning.
In the past I have owned Hunter and Duracraft which were larger units and did a good job. But, since they are larger you have more water to carry, more to maintain, etc., just a little more hassle to deal with. This one is small, easy to fill, and easy to maintain.
As far as the leakage complaints, I was concerned about that so I placed it in a plastic kitchen tray. I've lifted the tank a few times, rolled the cart it is on slightly, I even carried the whole tray to another area of the house and it did not leak at all.
I haven't had it long enough to comment on the complaints about the evaporator pads, but cleaning and maintenance is normal with this type of humidifier. You can't just keep filling them with tap water and do nothing. You will have issues. Keep in mind too that kitchen odors, smoke, etc. will get pulled through the pad and that's going to contribute significantly to the degradation of the pad. Since this one is small I decided to use distilled water in it. It only takes about a gallon and I don't have to fill it every night. I think by using distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water you will greatly minimize the issues with the pad. An occasional dribble of bacteriastat and humidifier water treatment will probably help as well.
I'm going to go ahead and give it 5 stars because I've owned several different types of humidifiers and this one seems to be well enough designed to do a good job and is priced fairly for what you get--a very basic, no frills, small room humidifier.
Description of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Cool Mist action for relief of cold and flu symptoms, pure natural moisture through cool mist wicking filter.When cold and flu season strikes, it?s time to take this cool mist humidifier out of the closet. The humidifier provides healthful vapor that can help relieve the dehydrating symptoms brought on by colds and the flu, helping nasal passages breathe easily again and easing the irritation of coughs and sore throats. It offers a wonderful alternative therapy for children, those who prefer not to take over-the-counter medications, and those who can?t take decongestants due to pregnancy or incompatibility with other medications. This low-noise humidifier also takes preventative measures against colds by putting enough humidity in the air to combat the dryness caused by many heating systems. The humidity moistens the respiratory system and helps it to actually fight off viruses, bacteria, and pollutants.
The translucent water tank is easy to fill and monitor and outputs about 1.2 gallons of moist air into the room--enough for 18 hours of continuous use on one filling. Impurities or minerals in the water are trapped in an antibacterial wicking filter so vapor is pure and is emitted without any white dust. When the tank is empty, it totally drains without leaving any potentially bacteria-laden standing water in the bottom. Two settings--high and low--let you adjust the humidity level to the appropriate room size or moisture level and Vicks?s special "evaporative technology" also kicks in to ensure that rooms maintain the proper moisture level and are not overly humid. This humidifier has a dishwasher-safe tray for hygienic cleaning and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
