When cold and flu season strikes, it's time to take this cool mist humidifier out of the closet. The humidifier provides healthful vapor that can help relieve the dehydrating symptoms brought on by colds and the flu, helping nasal passages breathe easily again and easing the irritation of coughs and sore throats. It offers a wonderful alternative therapy for children, those who prefer not to take over-the-counter medications, and those who can't take decongestants due to pregnancy or incompatibility with other medications. This low-noise humidifier also takes preventative measures against colds by putting enough humidity in the air to combat the dryness caused by many heating systems. The humidity moistens the respiratory system and helps it to actually fight off viruses, bacteria, and pollutants. The translucent water tank is easy to fill and monitor and outputs about 1.2 gallons of moist air into the room--enough for 18 hours of continuous use on one filling. Impurities or minerals in the water are trapped in an antibacterial wicking filter so vapor is pure and is emitted without any white dust. When the tank is empty, it totally drains without leaving any potentially bacteria-laden standing water in the bottom. Two settings--high and low--let you adjust the humidity level to the appropriate room size or moisture level and Vicks's special "evaporative technology" also kicks in to ensure that rooms maintain the proper moisture level and are not overly humid. This humidifier has a dishwasher-safe tray for hygienic cleaning and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Great little humidifier at a nice price January 8, 2009
This is the first humidifier that I've ever purchased, and I'm very happy with the results. It's small enough to fit on my nightstand, and the Low setting is quiet enough to fall asleep to. Operation is simple, and it worked right out of the box. I've had no spills or leakage of any kind.
I use this just for my bedroom, which is small. I'm not sure how it would fare in a larger space, but it works wonderfully if you're just looking to raise the humidity in a single room.
After one night I noticed a difference in the quality of my sleep. And it was the first time in a few weeks that I haven't woken with a headache from the dry air. It's nothing fancy, but this little humidifier is enough for me.
 Quiet and sufficent but it is cool mist January 8, 2009
This cool mist is one of the best. I knew because I owned several different brands. This one served the purpose and it is quiet. I did not give it a five stars because I am still shopping for a warm mist and quiet one. If I cannot find another warm mist and it's quiet, I will buy another one of this cool mist to replace my current warm mist.
 I replaced it within a week.. January 7, 2009
I needed to replace three humidifers that were used for years and eventually just wore out. That model was no longer available. So I looked for a replacement.
I tried this Vicks model.
The unit seemed to work except when the tank became close to empty it started dumping all the remaining water on the ground.
Thinking it was a fluke, I filled it up and tried again.. It seemed fine until the tank got low of water, then it again dumped the rest of the water on the floor. Not a good thing for my wood floors.
I would stay away from this humidifier.
 Does Not humidify January 3, 2009

Although this product claims to have cool mist that is invisible, I'm not sure I buy that claim. My room doesn't feel moist at all, seems like the water in the tank is evaporating rather than humidifying the room.
I got this because now that winter is here, my room is dry from the heat, making my throat and nasal passages dry, wanted something to help with that, don't feel any results yet.
Has 2 fan speeds, low which is quiet, and high which is very noisy, can't sleep with the fan on high.
Maybe if I slept in the closet and put it in there it might work, I don't know :(
Doesn't work January 1, 2009
I wanted to like this item. I tried two different models. I spoke with Kaz, the manufacturer, on the phone. A customer service rep. assured me that the product should raise the humidity in my 15x20ft room to at least 40%. I was never able to achieve more than a 4% improvement in humidity to about 26%. Just not good enough. And, I hate the wick - very flimsy and annoying. In the end I'm happy that Amazon.com has a good return policy.
