Product Reviews of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Product Review: Good price, expected more moisture
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item for my baby's room. The low setting is very quiet, but it used very little water from the reservior in a 10-12 hour period, which indicates very little water went into the air. I thought more moisture would have went into the air in that time frame. My daughter seemed to get some relief, but it took several days. I guess I expected more, but I have never used a cool-mist machine before.Product Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Vicks V3100 for almost two months and I must say I am pretty satisfied. The machine runs quiet at low speed and a little bit noisier at high speed. The best part is that the 1 gallon of water at either speeds last over 10 hours and it has substantially help my breathing especially at night. The filter cleans hair well but if you live in a dusty city, like I do, it does not last much and the replacement is pricey.
Overall it is a great buy!!
Product Review: Good product for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't had any problems with leaking as some others have mentioned... as long as the cap of the water tank is on securely, it ought to operate as designed. I really love the 2-level setting. On the lower level, it really isn't disturbing at all - I fall asleep easily ten feet away from it at this level. On the higher level, it is a bit loud, but not as loud as some others have made it out to be. When it's on high, I can't hear it through the wall of my apartment if I'm in the next room with the door closed. Plus, it does a great job of putting moisture in the air.
My only complaint is that after having it for a few weeks, it still tends to leave a new plastic smell in the air, but hopefully that will go away with time.
Product Review: Good, not great
Summary: 3 Stars
We have had this humidifier for almost a year now. The mist is not as powerful as I first thought it would be. For some reason our humidifier sometimes does not "utilize" the water in the tank. We fill up only 1/5 of the capacity and it's on for about 8 hours during the night, and sometimes there is still water left in the tank. It's a pain since you should not let water sit there, otherwise it gets stinky and dirty.
This is the other downside. The filter does get very dirty pretty easily, and stinky. We use only at night, every day, and the filter gets "nasty" with 1 month of use. We do use tap water.
We can notice difference in the room when it's on. We turn it on for about 30 min before going to bed, leave the bedroom door closed and you can definitely tell the room is not as dry.
Product Review: Good, reliable product.
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to refill. Produces a moderate amount of moisture (not nearly as much as the ultrasonic ones can, but that's better if you are worried about mold). The higher setting is a bit loud and the filters are expensive, but it does it's job and seems very sturdy and well-made.
