Still Great After 4 Years!

bykengrubb May 7, 2005
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros VERY QUIET! Perhaps the most important feature in a vaporizer or humidifier.
Cons Automatic shutoff would be nice. Filters not as available as they could be.
Recommended it? Yes

To combat a cold, our son's pediatrician recommended a cool mist vaporizer when he was just a few weeks old. The doctor said it was better than almost any medicine. We went out and bought a Vicks Ultrasonic V5100. Four years later, we're still using it and still VERY happy with it. Takes care of... Read full review »

Easy to Use and Fill, Does it's Job

byfloridaorange Feb 25, 2005
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Really quiet operation, adjustable humidity level for user's comfort
Cons Wish it had automatic shut-off, I don't believe it does
Recommended it? Yes

This humidifier is easy to fill, basically easy to clean, and does it's job nicely. You can adjust the amount of humidity coming out by a push/slide button on the front and the nozzle on the top. When operating, it is all out SILENT. I mean really quiet. Great for light sleepers or baby's room. Read full review »

LEAKS

Pros QUIET, easy to fill.
Cons Leaked around all of the base and on & off switch on first use.
Recommended it? Yes

This is an update on Jan 19. It's not leaking any more. I think the base needed to be wet around the edge when first used to make a seal. On the 2nd day it only leaked a little around the on and off switch. It is used nightly and there are no more leaks.

Medications can NOT be used in... Read full review »

Pulls the dry right out of the air!

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great exterior design, produces a lot of vapor, efficient, humidifies fairly quickly
Cons Seal between the tank walls and the tank floor is fragile
Recommended it? Yes

I live in the very hot, and dry mojave desert area of California, where the average humidity in summer stays around 5-10% in the daytime and 20% at night. Needless to say, this level of humidity is very tough on anyones skin and because of this my nose is constantly cracking on the inside, and... Read full review »

Lots of vapors

byng1976 Feb 1, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Quiet, lot of control over how much vapor
Cons Lid has to be pretty tight or it will leak; sensitive to hard water
Recommended it? Yes

This really cranks out the vapors! We were told by our doctor that a humidifier would help keep our babies from getting sick & was good for colds. We run it in their room almost every night, and at full volume it will go through a gallon a night. I like having 2 controls to control how much it puts... Read full review »

Two Lemons

Pros Compact and quiet
Cons Tank filling cap gets stuck and is very hard to unscrew.
Recommended it? No

I bought one of these at Target for $52 which I thought was overpriced, but I was happy with the way it worked out of the box.  After a few days it stopped emitting mist and got very hot.  I exchanged it, and the same thing happened within two days.  I called the customer service,...

Works well but smells fishy

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Good mist production all night (or day). Very very quiet.
Cons Strange fishy smell I can't seem to eliminate.
Recommended it? No

I bought this Vicks Ultrasonic V5100 1.50 Gallon Humidifier because I live in an apartment complex that uses radiated heat (therefore extremely dry sleeping conditions!). I think I paid about $40 for it at CVS. I think it works very well--it produces a good amount of moisture and is virtually... Read full review »

Dial/knob doesn't do anything

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros None
Cons No variable output, no automatic off
Recommended it? No

This is the fourth ultrasonic humidifier I've purchased over the last 10 years and the only one that doesn't really work. It does put "vaporized" water into the air, but the knob which has symbols from "a little moisture" to "a lot of moisture" doesn't do anything. The amount of moisture coming out...

V5100N

Pros Silent, easy to fill, easy to clean.
Cons More expensive that the other units.
Recommended it? Yes

Please note, this is for the V5100N humidifier, not the V5100

** Email from manufacturer as follows :-

"The V5100N is a new revision to the V5100. It works in the same way, it just has a slightly more "modern" look to it."

I didn't think I would need to test my own... Read full review »

Pros Whisper Quiet, Lots of Mist
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

Just purchased at CVS for $49.99 last week and it is the best cool mist humidifier I have ever had. We use it constantly because our home is very dry and we have a 5 month old. It really is whisper quiet and puts off a ton of mist. Yet it will last 12-14 hours on high with one tank full. There is... Read full review »
