Customer Reviews of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

Customer Review: "The Filter Racket"
Summary: 2 Stars

This humidifier works ok. I found humidity level pretty low, but when left on constantly it was comparable to my last "cheapie" humidifier. Low setting is quiet, and well, low. High setting is pretty loud and still pretty low humidity.
Before you purchase this look at your options for getting filters. Yeah, you really only have one. Expect to spend $7+ per filter that you will have to change approximately every month. This machine WILL NOT FUNCTION with no filter or an "old" (yes, about a month) filter!
So expect to keep paying for this one over and over by way of filters. Wish I would have done more research into "the filter racket" before purchasing this type/model of 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
