Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier

Very happy with my purchase. It is very efficient and quiet. I had purchased another brand and was shocked at how small it was- I promptly returned it.It is hard to beat a Vicks Humidifier!

I ordered this when I got covid in January. I love how quiet it is. I love how long the water lasts before having to add more. One thing is I defiantly recommend using distilled water instead of tap. I learned it the hard way

Humidifier works very well. Large capacity so it lasts a long time with water in it. Only issues are you have to fill it and then tip it over onto the base unit, and it is not real easy to clean. All the water does not dump out of it due to where the hole is situated.

Box that humidifier came in was pretty beat up, but product was still okay thanks to good packaging.

I had a succession of ultrasonic humidifiers from Sharper Image over the years which were fabulous for conditioning a dry room for a singer. However, there were always two big drawbacks: (1) they'd leave white dust everywhere unless you used distilled water in them; and (2) if you let them run after the water emptied, it'd burn out the fan and then the unit would have to be replaced.However, ultrasonics are so much better for the voice than standard cool or warm humidifiers, so when Sharper Image recently stopped making this, I looked elsewhere and found the model above from Vicks. Since I know to use only distilled water, the dust thing isn't an issue. My initial impression was one of being very impressed by the significantly greater volume of cool mist it pushed out, and it did so essentially silently. Also it has a far greater storage capacity than the old Sharper Image model, so it needn't be refilled as often.That idyllic image lasted for my first two hours of use. Then I turned it off to go to lunch. When I turned it back on an hour later, surprise, surprise, no mist would come out. It just plain DIED! I then called the 800 number (which was staffed by some people who had absolutely no - I mean ZERO - prior familiarity with the product), and the only tip I got was from their voice mail which said to unplug the unit for one hour so it could "re-set" itself. I did so, but after replugging it, still no luck.Can't ANYONE make one of these that is reliable? Vicks sure hasn't.
