I breath easier and sleep better with this product!

Pros Easy to Use, Good Value, Compact
Recommended it? Yes

I have a chronic sinus condition, and I live in a dry desert climate which pulls the moisture out of my respiratory system.  This Vicks humidifier is the economical answer to both problems!  It makes a big difference in my comfort level at night, and I sleep more deeply and feel better in...

Not sure how much it's helping

Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good Value
Cons Poor Quality
Recommended it? No

We were told to use this for our baby who has chest congestion, but since she's under 2, we can't use the Vicks medication that is supposed to be used with it. As a warm air humidifier alone, it doesn't seem to be very effective. Read full review »

Good at what it does

Pros Easy to Use, Good Value, Quality Construction

I actually got this at the hospital when my little girl had pneumonia.  It's not very fancy and so I was a little weary, but it outlasted our more fancy one.  We put it on every time someone has a cold and it works really well. Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Compact, Good Value
Recommended it? Yes

My youngest daughter was born premature and she really needed this.  We were a little strapped for cash at the time and this was a lifesaver.  It was very easy to use and very effective on clearing out mucus. Read full review »

Pros Within EVERYONE's budget
Cons Not as long an operation time as stated.

Okay, if you clicked on this review expecting to find info on a Chic-Lit novel involving a hunky guy named Sven and a damsel in distress, rolling around on the soft white sands of a glistening beach, her body pressed against his hard, firm muscles…. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but that's not the... Read full review »

Pros works well, size, shape, oil well
Cons night light, black flecks (mineral deposits)
Recommended it? Yes

I am pretty picky when it comes to humidifiers. I used to have the old '80s vaporiser thing and absolutely loved it - I wish it hadn't been tossed. After three trips (and returns of items) to the local drugstore, I finally settled on the Vick's vaporiser.

The pros:

Pros Non
Cons Black residue and flakes in the water.

This should be recalled.  I would like to know what the black residue and flakes are in the water everytime I go to put more water in it?  It lookes like it could be plastic from the part around the motor.  When I called they said it was from the minerals in the water we use.  It has never happened...

Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Pleurisy, Asthma, Sinusitis, Allergies, you name it, and chances are if it’s an upper respiratory illness, I have experienced it in my lifetime.

Pros Works great for illness, inexpensive, easier to upkeep than cool mist
Cons Needs salt to work and some cleaning
Recommended it? Yes

My husband purchased a Vicks warm steam vaporizer for me when I was pregnant with my third child and very sick, about three years ago. It was very inexpensive, at the time under $10. (They are now somewhat updated from the photo shown here, and cost about $12--the structure is basically the same... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

After having suffered from 3 back-to-back colds I decided to purchase a vaporizer with hopes that it would make sleeping at nights a little more comfortable for my throat, nose, and for breathing.

The first night I used the vaporizer, it worked wonderfully. Lots of steam. I followed the... Read full review »

I am reviewing the Vick's 1.5 Gallon Humidifier. I had this unit for about 5 months. After a bout of bronchitis and an asthma diagnosis, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase a humidifier.

What you get for the money

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, produces steam
Cons Awkward filling and cleaning, water doesn't last, not kid-friendly
Recommended it? No

To begin with, the tank is a very wide, very short tank with a 3 inch hole at the top. This makes it very awkward to fill. You can't do it in the sink, you have to do it at the bathtub, unless you plan on carrying the water to the unit.

Second, depending on the area, the day's water... Read full review »

I purchased this humidifier to help with my children's cold in the winter. It worked excellent for the first year, then slowly it's output decreased even after multiple cleaning. Now it just puffs once in a while after 4 years of use. Read full review »

I bought this vaporizer because my daughter kept getting colds and I wanted to try and help her congestion. I liked the price (can't beat $20) and the simplicity of the product. The water will last for at least two nights so you don't have to fill it all the time. It's very easy to use and you... Read full review »
