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

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!

Perfect for my little room this past very cold winter. My skin was so dry & extremely itchy and this little device helped alleviate those issues. Inexpensive and easy to use too.

I purchased this for my curly coated Yorkie who has breathing and tracheal issues. It works very well. It even mentions that if it doesn't make steam to add a pinch of salt to the water to add more minerals. I had to as I have a water filter. It is a great product at a reasonable price. Actually the pup and I have both benefited from this vaporizer.

I bought this mainly because my child had a cough. We used to use an ultrasonic humidifier, but I think it’s not very safe and you have to use distilled water, which adds extra cost. This one is much more convenient since it can use regular tap water. It starts producing steam within a few minutes, and the output is quite strong, which I liked. However, the downsides are pretty significant. The noise is very loud, especially when the water level gets low—it has actually woken us up at night. Even when I refill it, it seems like not all the water is being used, since the intake doesn’t reach the bottom, so a lot of capacity goes to waste. It also uses a lot of power—strong enough that it trips my power strip unless I dedicate a full outlet just for it. After a few days of use, I noticed gray, flaky residue at the bottom, which was concerning. Because of all these issues, I’ve stopped using it. It’s affordable, but the drawbacks make it hard to keep using.

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 bought this 1.5 gal vicks vaporizer last year. Ok with noise and heat. I tried using Vicks vaporizer pads in slots. Two days no vaporizer smell and padsnot dissolving. So I added vaporizer to tray. That works great. I hope vicks will respond because I just ordered a second unit for bedroom for winter. Thanks. Value wise best one yet.

They produce hot steam, and you can put the extra vapo-steam menthol liquid in the water if you want to clear you sinuses. This vaporizer takes static out of the air and plumps up your skin. Especially important in winter when it's dry from artificial heat. I would not be caught without one of these. They last for years. I bought this one as a gift for a friend- not very glam, but it's just a must-have, and it's easy & lightweight to take anywhere (when empty, of course). If you live somewhere with hard water (like southern California)- please try to use distilled or at least filtered water in this. With hard water, you will see plack crusty buildup in the container when you goto change or add more water. That can clog the steam recepticale, so try to get it all out. If it does get clogged & stops steaming well, a pinch of salt in the water will get it going!

We have fairly hard well water. I get the best results with a pinch of salt. Too much salt and the water gets VERY hot and bubbles/gurgles too much. Too little salt and not enough steam is produced. I don't know how this device works, but apparently it's more complex than it seems. Now that I know the correct "recipe" it works great. The noise level varies from fairly loud, to nothing but a faint hum, after its been running awhile. I really like the liquid reservoir on top. I do wish it was more vertical and had a smaller footprint, but for the price, I'm satisfied.

It works fine but do not think am NOT getting effective use of medicine cup it is not getting enough heat or able to disperse the oils I am using into the air flow just evaporates Get better cleaning of scale by using baking soda instead of salt . . Salt builds crystals and baking soda remains scale

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

I have purchased 1.5 Gallon Vicks vaporizer.It didn't work from the beginning.I asked for replacement.It took more than 20days to replace the product but again the same problem it's not working.

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.
