Product Reviews of Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Product Review: Glad I purchased it
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought this a couple of weeks ago, and I've been using it every night since it arrived. It definitely keeps the bedroom more comfortable than the warm mist vaporizer I bought years ago, and it's so much easier to maintain. And the humidifier's cool mist provides a nice balance with the dry heat that blasts out periodically from my radiator. OK, I know, that's the whole point...Product Review: Good for its price range
Summary: 4 Stars
It basically does what it says it will do.
I took off a star because it's a little on the noisy side and it also seemed at some point part of the filter got a hard water stain or something like that on it that was disrupting part of the filter's ability to wick water up it (which reduces its ability to function as a humidifier). I'm not exactly sure whether that was a fluke or perhaps a maintenance error on my part. Also, I would have liked a more middle ground medium speed, without the level of noise and humidity of high, but a little more effective than the low.
There are humidifiers out there that run more quietly, or introduce humidity into the room faster by virtue of having more size to dish out the water with, but for the price point this is at it does what you need it to do very well. Particularly if you expect to only use it from time to time or on a temporary basis this is an excellent choice. If you were intending to be using it all the time every day for years to come, you can probably find something a little more suited to that goal.
Product Review: Good humidifier at good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this humidifier for several years and have been very happy with it. It's a wicking-type system, so it doesn't blow air straight out like some, but pushes air through a moist filter (one reviewer said the hi setting could make air too moist, but this seems very unlikely in my experience). I like it b/c it also collects any dust as it passes air through the filter, so reduces airborn pollutants as it humidifies. Agree that low setting is very quiet, but hi does make a low hum... we have it baby's room though, so the low white noise works perfectly.Product Review: Good humidifier overall

I don't have any complains on this unit except that on high fan level, it makes a lot of noise and I couldn't sleep with it. Luckily I got a small room and I usually set it to low level, which is pretty quiet. Unlike many other humidifiers, I don't see much deposit inside the unit even after few days of usage. I wash it every other 3 or 4 days.Product Review: Good overall humidifier!
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a lot of research on different humidifiers before ultimately choosing this one. I previously had an ultrasonic humidifier which was great because it didn't have a wick filter to deal with. However, it made the floor totally wet from the mist. So I opted for a wick filter based humidifier. For the money, this humidifier works quite well. The shape of the water reservoir makes it easy to fit inside my bathroom sink for refills. One word of caution is to make sure you properly replace the reservoir onto the unit. If it doesn't seat the correct way, you will ultimately have a very wet floor. I've had this unit for about 3 months now and am to the point where I need to replace the filter. Has a removable tray that you can put in the dishwasher. I've read some reviews about some people not being happy with the sound it makes. I keep mine on the low speed, which creates nice white noise when sleeping. The high speed does generate quite a bit of noise for those wanting to really drown out their surroundings. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase.
