Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer & Humidifier 1.5 Gallon Tank for Small and Medium Rooms, Night Light, Works with VapoPads and VapoSteam

I was super sick when I purchased this, and it made such a big difference. It humidified the bedroom really well and helped make the air feel much more comfortable, especially at night. It’s easy to use, works great, and definitely helped me feel better while recovering. I highly recommend it!

Budget friendly, easy to use and effective. Bought it for my cats with upper respiratory viral infection. This little vaporizer produces a lot of warm steam in a 12’ x 12’ room that helps relieve their sinus congestion and red dry eyes. I give them a 4 hours steam treatment in the late morning and then again in the evening starting at bed time. This little machine has auto shut off when water in the chamber is below the minimum level. The machine operates for about 4 hours with a maximum fill level. It does make very audible bubbling noise during the first 5 minutes, then it quit down to a soft bubbling sound that’s very soothing for sleep. The little green “night light” is very dim and unobtrusive. After each use, I empty out the remaining water; the water will contain specks of black grits; I believe they are the by product sediments of minerals. I rinse out the water chamber with water then, soak it with a vinegar and water solution and sit the cooled heating unit in this solution for 10 minutes. Final rinse and shake with plain water until no more vinegar odor or black specks. Wipe the water chamber and outside of heating unit dry, sit them out to air out before refilling for the next application. Add 1/8 teaspoon of plain salt (no iodine or any additive) into the water chamber, this helps increase the warm steam out put. I opened the windows a bit and turned on a small fan to air out the room for a few hours to dry out. I’m very happy with this effective, nothing fancy and easy to use little machine.

This is a great vaporizer/humidifier for the money. I bought it because we have electric heat in our apartment and the air gets very dry. This unit is small and easy to fill and handle. It runs for 24 hours and has an automatic shut off and night light. I mostly run it in our bedroom at night. It can also be used with the Vicks Vapo Pads or liquid. A Vapo Pad sample comes with it. Definitely a great humidifier!

It doesn’t last very long, but hey works great while it does. I only used distilled water until about 2-2.5 months of use then started doing half distilled and half tap water. Now it doesn’t work. When plugged in the light turns on and you can hear it’s in and trying to build steam, but no steam comes out. It is warm to touch, but no steam comes out even when adding salt or just distilled water.

Great size,easy to use. I put a dash of salt in,works perfectly.update- at 1st,was a little loud ... After maybe half a hr,quieted.

My mom was coughing for what felt like months. The cold winter and hot dry house was not helping. I bought this out of desperation trying to break up the cough and get her on her way to wellness. I got the vicks liquid too. Hooked this little thing up and turned it on.....I did not notice any steam, the windows did not get condensation, I was bummed. Then on the suggestion of my mom's aide along with the confirmation of my dad we put a tiny pinch of salt in the water and it was AWESOME. Now a few things to note....the good - major steam with the salt...nothing noticeable without salt. The liquid smells good and all but completely unnecessary. Moms cough literally stopped within a week after starting this up. Her 86 year old skin is beautiful and not even a little dry. Her typically very staticy hair is not at all...frizz yes, curls (was not aware she even had curls) are also a new phenomenon The not so good. Every single day we clean and change out the water and every single day there is black gunk in the water. Makes me worry that I am sending mold into the air, but currently she is not coughing, skin integrity, and overall better feeling of a bit of moisture in the air is making us keep using it.

I throw a fair amount of salt in as I’m filling it. It ( usually) shoots a decent amount of steam for a couple hours and then slows down to almost nothing after that. There’s no way it would run through the night. This type of humidifier has been around forever so it’s a mystery why Vicks can’t build one. Vicks has been around for over 100 years. Why would they put their name on this? Not recommended.

This Vicks vapor warmer works really well and puts out a good amount of soothing vapor. It helps a lot with congestion and makes breathing easier at night. It heats up fast and is simple to use, and I like that it doesn’t take up much space. The only downside is cleaning it. Mineral buildup happens pretty quickly and it’s kind of aggravating to scrub out, especially in the corners. It still works fine, but you definitely have to stay on top of cleaning or it looks gross. Overall, it does what it’s supposed to do and helps when you’re sick, just wish it was easier to clean. Would still recommend it.

I usually have bronchitis every fall and spring and now I can add dry eyes to the list, so everything there needs moisture. I used to have a vapoizer as a kid growing up and it helped so much, so I purchased two of these. After reading the reviews I decided to buy one and try it. I had to add salt quite a few times to get it to really throw out the water, but really how much does a box of salt cost, compared to being sick. I love it so much now I have one in my bedroom. I put it on for a few hours before bed and another one in my living room where I spend a lot of time.

Cumple su función como vaporizador, sinceramente pensé que era más pequeño, es muy muy grande, pero recomendable para la congestión

110v هذا الجهاز غير مناسب للاستعمال في المملكة العربية السعودية ،وعند استعمالة مع المحول الكهربائي يسبب انبعاث للدخان ورائحة احتراق كهرباء

Este producto lo compré para que mi bb no tuviera resecas las mucosidades durante la noche. Es muy funcional, junta bastante vapor y no gasta mucha energía. Algunas veces hay que ponerle un poco de sal para que produzca cantidad suficiente de vapor. Además, puedes ponerle tabletas vic para que deje un olor a menta. Al producto se le junta una especie de salitre, que de vez en cuando hay que retirar, pero no es complicado.

Really not much to break/go wrong on this unit, it makes gurgling noise at night near the bed if you want to put out any good amount of steam but upside is no filter and no residue. I'm planning to get a whole house humidifier to replace this because it's just too much hassle keeping it topped up all the time in the winter.
