Customer Review: Works well, low hassle maintenance
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this humidifier for more than a year now, and have been very happy with it. It's very quiet for the baby's room, and I haven't had a problem with the white dust, although it's not on 24-7.
Advice: be sure to empty and refill the tank and base daily if possible to keep the filter in good shape. And don't leave the water standing in it while you're on vacation- it's nearly impossible to hand scrub the tank- had to buy a flexible bottle brush for that one, lol.
I recently needed to replace the water tank (I dropped it and cracked it slightly). I was a little disappointed that they don't offer replacement parts for it. I'll search for a used one so I can keep using it. I am able to find filters for it pretty easily at the place of purchase- Meijer (a Michigan chain).
If I can't find a replacement tank, I will probably by a new one just like it.
Customer Review: STINKY FROM THE GET GO
Summary: 4 Stars
WE BOUGHT THIS AFTER OUR VICKS COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF USE. iT WORKS GOOD. iT WORKS SO GOOD THAT WE USUALLY HAVE TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE MORNING BECAUSE IT GETS TO HOT IN MY BABIES ROOM. IT IS VERY QUIET AND CAN HARDLY HEAR IT, BUT THE MIST COMING OUT STINKS LIKE A PIG FARM! IT HAS SMELLED THIS WAY SINCE THE FIRST NIGHT WE USED IT. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER SOME USE-MAYBE A NEW PLASTIC SMELL. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND IT STILL SMELLS. WE WILL RETURN IT TODAY. I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH LUCK WITH VICKS PRODUCTS. I WILL PROBABLY TRY A DIFFERENT BRAND.Customer Review: Great quiet humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for a 7-month old baby's room that is often very dry. Have owned a Holmes cold-mist humidifier in the past, but were looking for something quieter. We have had this for about 3 weeks, and it is working very well - quiet, the mist stream and nozzle set up is nice, let you point the visible mist away from walls. Best thing is that it IS much quieter than the cold-mist humidifiers we have tried/used in the past.
One short-coming: no humidistat, so we have to manually turn it off - this is a bit of a pain late at night.
Customer Review: Cooling Mist,, No Annoying Smell
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been very satisfied with this humidifier by Kaz and it has been working twelve hours a day for months now, lots of mist and absolutely no smell. If you have hard water in your area, replacement demineralization cartridges (Kaz DC-51) are a must or you can opt to use distilled water instead. Happily, the replacement cartridges are also available at Amazon and most drug stores.Customer Review: More expensive but worth it
Summary: 4 Stars
I was reluctant to spend this much money on a humidifier, but it has been well worth it. This product works great. It is quiet and it's easy to fill up. The only feature it is missing is automatic shutoff. CVS.com does sell this model for $10 cheaper so if you print that out from their website and take it into the Babies R Us store, they'll match the price.
