Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use and quiet operation outweighs concerns about filter maintenance.

We got good results from our Vicks humidifier -- it performed as described, emitting a gallon of water per 24 hour period, and ran fairly quietly. But our water container developed a leak. We contacted Vicks to send us a new water cannister, to replace the leaking one. We supplied them with the bill of sale, the date code from the plug, and a clear description of what we wanted, We live in Arizona where it is very dry -- my wife has lung problems, and we needed the extra humidity. They demanded that we send the whole unit back to them for inspection, and in 4 - 5 weeks, they may send out a new unit to us. Our reply to Vicks was that this was a very onerus solution: no humidification for 4+ weeks? I repaired our canister with water-proof tape, and so far we have prevented further leakage. This company is not cooperative, and does not seem to stand behind their product. I have attached a picture of my DIY repaired water cannister, which can't cost more than a few dollars!

A much needed upgrade. Was fair priced, works as it should. Only downfall is the vapo pads you can use, dont last very long.
Has to speed settings. One you can hear. The other is silent.

Very easy to use. I live in the dry desert, and I have been using this product for the last month and I've noticed changes in my living room, next to the kitchen, that now due to the pandemic has been the place where I exercise. It throws cool mist that helps the place to feel fresh and with a good smell.

Requires expensive filter replacement, smells rancid when the filters goes bad.
It's easy to use at first, easy to replace the filter , and its' safe if knocked over.
This will be an expensive long term purchase to maintain and it will be difficult to find OEM filters.

Great humidifier- easy to operate. On low setting it is extremely quiet with an occasional “gulp” sound I forget it’s on. On the higher setting you can hear the fan but it isn’t to loud.
I usually use “humidifier cleaning balls” with this product to keep it clean.

It's not the misty kind of humidifier. It's basically a swap cooler. It's slow to add humidity it took it a day or so to rise the humidity of my bedroom form 28% to 35%. I think that's fair considering it's very very quiet.

Thank you for your feedback. We will share this information with our team. Please note, various conditions can affect the performance of your Cool Mist Humidifier. Initially when using a unit, it can take a seemingly long time for the humidity level in the room to rise. The reason for this is that your unit is constantly trying to push moisture into an extremely dry environment. Everything in that environment (walls, floors, furniture, carpet, etc...) is absorbing this moisture. Only when all the objects in the environment are saturated, will the water from the humidifier stay in the air. Due to this, we recommend leaving your humidifier on the highest setting. If you have dry heat, such as forced hot air, it is best to let the unit run constantly. You will know the humidifier is working because the water level in the tank will go down with use. We hope this is helpful! If you require assistance, please reach out to us by emailing [email protected].

This humidifier is fantastic. It works beautifully, is quiet and even looks nice. It is easy to use and easy to clean. You can add aroma and that makes it even better. It humidified the air just right and turned my inside dry winter air into something like Springtime.

Nice and quiet, the air flow is pretty good, I just wish there was a higher setting. Also, I wish that you added water from the top, my carpal tunnel gives me issues sometimes and having to carry it back and forth can be a pain at times. Otherwise, a great product

I bought this humidifier for a co-worker and she has had nothing but praise for it. She suffers sinus issues from stuffy/dry locations and she found this gem to work like a trick to prevent her from having nose bleeds. The vapors helps her and her child sleep well at night. I will def recommend.

Oh I like the way this humidifier provides a very fine mist. However, it can be difficult to find the filters in stores.
