Customer Reviews of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: I'm glad that I purchased this model and might buy one for my bedroom as well.
Summary: 5 Stars
My baby has a very tiny room and I was reluctant to buy a humidifier for fear of wet walls, carpet, furniture, etc. This model seemed smaller than others so I thought I'd give it a try. I've used it for only 2 days now but it works great so far. Her room feels very comfortable, not overly humid (on low setting). There is no mist coming out so you hardly notice that it is on unless you put your hand to the front and feel the cool air coming out. The noise does not bother her when she is sleeping and actually probably helps as a white noise background. I'm glad that I purchased this model and might buy one for my bedroom as well.Customer Review: I am also accustomed to the old fashioned humidifiers that blow out mist and accumulate white dust on everything in the house.

I am also accustomed to the old fashioned humidifiers that blow out mist and accumulate white dust on everything in the house. I bought this for my daughter because it said it was quiet, that is a bold faced lie. I don't know how many times I've asked my daughters to turn off the bathroom fan, and they say Mom, that is the humidifier, and I'm downstairs. I have it on right now and it sounds like someone is using a blow dryer! I'll keep it because it was cheap and so what if we throw it away at the end of the season. Easier than returning it. And don't forget to clean it out, because if you leave it off for awhile and then turn it back on, it smells worse than wet dog! It was nasty.Customer Review: I purchased this humidifier a few months ago...
Summary: 1 Stars
I am greatly disappointed. I purchased this humidifier a few months ago, and back I am shopping for another one as this one is going into the yard sale pile. It can run for hours and hardly impact the humidity level in a bedroom, with the door closed. I can't run it at night because it is so LOUD. Also, I have probably purchased three or four filters for it already. Customer Review: Strangely...
Summary: 3 Stars
I originally purchased this unit for my child's room 2 years ago -- worked fine. There was no soaked carpet, no leaks, no fires, and no problems finding filters. I even liked the level of sound - it would get loud gradually. My child (now 2 yrs old) loved the sound so much we had to find a sound machine to duplicate it.
We purchased another unit for our second child's room. Strangely, this unit worked differently than the first. The second one leaked (very litte - nothing a hand towel under the unit couldn't fix) and was MUCH louder than the first. I also found that I needed to refill this unit more often than I did the first.
I didn't see too much of a problem with the difference, just thought it was worth mentioning...
Customer Review: Even so it is quieter than any I have owned before.
Summary: 5 Stars
Humdifiers use fans to push moisture into the air, so expect some noise - fans are never completely quiet.
But, on the low setting the fan is the quietist of any I have owned, and on the high setting the fan is quite audible. Even so it is quieter than any I have owned before.
This humidifier is easy to operate, fill and clean. They thought of everything in the product design, including making the tank sit flat when you turn it over to fill it up.
I have found that for most operation the low setting works well and the water lasts at least 18 hours. Over a gallon of water a day into my room seems more than adequate for most needs.
In fact I enjoy this machine so much I run it every night in order to keep the room nicely humidified, especially since cleaning and filling is such a snap.
