Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

Summary: Great little humidifier at a nice price
Comment: This is the first humidifier that I've ever purchased, and I'm very happy with the results. It's small enough to fit on my nightstand, and the Low setting is quiet enough to fall asleep to. Operation is simple, and it worked right out of the box. I've had no spills or leakage of any kind.

I use this just for my bedroom, which is small. I'm not sure how it would fare in a larger space, but it works wonderfully if you're just looking to raise the humidity in a single room.

After one night I noticed a difference in the quality of my sleep. And it was the first time in a few weeks that I haven't woken with a headache from the dry air. It's nothing fancy, but this little humidifier is enough for me.

Summary: Quiet and sufficent but it is cool mist
Comment: This cool mist is one of the best. I knew because I owned several different brands. This one served the purpose and it is quiet. I did not give it a five stars because I am still shopping for a warm mist and quiet one. If I cannot find another warm mist and it's quiet, I will buy another one of this cool mist to replace my current warm mist.

Summary: I replaced it within a week..
Comment: I needed to replace three humidifers that were used for years and eventually just wore out. That model was no longer available. So I looked for a replacement.

I tried this Vicks model.

The unit seemed to work except when the tank became close to empty it started dumping all the remaining water on the ground.

Thinking it was a fluke, I filled it up and tried again.. It seemed fine until the tank got low of water, then it again dumped the rest of the water on the floor. Not a good thing for my wood floors.

I would stay away from this humidifier.

Summary: Does Not humidify
Comment: Although this product claims to have cool mist that is invisible, I'm not sure I buy that claim. My room doesn't feel moist at all, seems like the water in the tank is evaporating rather than humidifying the room.
I got this because now that winter is here, my room is dry from the heat, making my throat and nasal passages dry, wanted something to help with that, don't feel any results yet.
Has 2 fan speeds, low which is quiet, and high which is very noisy, can't sleep with the fan on high.
Maybe if I slept in the closet and put it in there it might work, I don't know :(

Summary: Doesn't work
Comment: I wanted to like this item. I tried two different models. I spoke with Kaz, the manufacturer, on the phone. A customer service rep. assured me that the product should raise the humidity in my 15x20ft room to at least 40%. I was never able to achieve more than a 4% improvement in humidity to about 26%. Just not good enough. And, I hate the wick - very flimsy and annoying. In the end I'm happy that Amazon.com has a good return policy.
