Customer Reviews of Vicks Humidifier, Warm Mist
Customer Review: Heaven sent
Summary: 4 Stars
I received an Evenflow vaporizer during my shower and thought it would help once baby & I got sick. Way to small for my room. I looked at many vaporizers and warm mist humidifiers that would actually work in our room. This one was perfect. I doesn't run out in the middle of the night, and helps keep the room warm when the heat goes down to low at night [apartment headaches]. The amount of night time coughing has lowered and asthma triggered dryness and dry sinis at night have ended. Perfect buy without the high cost.Customer Review: Pretty good so far!

Bought it at Target for about $32 and used it for the first time last night. I have a bad cold as we speak and for the first time, I did not wake up with a sore, dry throat. We used it on low speed throughout the night and the definitely lasts for over 12 hours. Unexpectedly quiet, too, even on high speed, compared with old-school humidifiers. I haven't cleaned it yet, but so far, I'm pretty impressed.Customer Review: I Want the Vicks smell!!!

Recently my 2 mo old was sick with a cold and was really congested, I was looking for something to scent the air with vicks so I didn't have to smear it on her chest continually through the night. Well as a humidifier this product maybe okay but as far as releasing that soothing vicks smell that I was hoping for it totally failed; I was extremly dissapointed and could not believe how little aroma this device puts out. I wasn't really interested in the humidifier, but this is all they had so in reality I can't rate this as a humidifier, but I am so upset I just want to create some healing air!!Customer Review: A real pain to clean

I have owned one of these for 2 years to use in my baby's room. Although it worked well for the first year, it requires a cumbersome cleaning process (vinegar in some parts, bleach in others) so you have to make sure you have these two cleaning elements at all times. The mineral build up will not come off. I've used sharp objects to try to scrape off the build off. No luck. Consequently, the effectiveness has decreased significantly.Customer Review: Unless you want to clean it everyday, find a different one...

I bought this humidifier for the same reasons as many other reviewers, and was happy with it for the first few nights. It put out enough humidity to keep our bedroom moist, and it wasn't loud-especially in comparison to other humidifiers we've tried.
THEN, on the third day, I noticed brown streaks on the paint on the wall nearest the humidifier. I washed them off without any real problem, just thinking this would be a pain to do every few days. Well they were back the next day, and so I decided to clean the entire humidifier as well (which you're only supposed to have to do weekly). There was brown bacteria growing in the water tray and the base! It was so disgusting, and very hard to get off, even with bleach and water. Our water does not have a high mineral content, and I was using filtered water anyway.
I bet if you clean this unit every single day, that wouldn't happen, but who wants to clean a humidifier every single day, especially when there is a baby in the mix? I'm just glad that we tried it out a few weeks before our baby is due! I can't wait to take it back.
