Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier

Customer Review: The best I've found
Summary: 4 Stars

We tried 3 humidifiers for our baby, and this was the best. It's quiet, and the tank is big. You can get two night's use out of a single filling. I also like being able to control the amount and direction of the water vapor. The only downside is having to clean the tank and base on a regular basis (a small price to pay when your baby has cold).

Customer Review: Works Just Fine
Summary: 4 Stars

I have been through so many humidifiers trying to find a good one. This one did some of the stuff that others have complained about. I took all the flitering junk out of it and it works just fine... no stink... just a fine mist. I turn it on a somewhat low output as I am using it for one room only.

Customer Review: OK, not great. Not silent, either.
Summary: 3 Stars

(1) Bought this humidifier advertised as "silent." Silent to me means that it doesn't make noise, and not having owned a humidifier before that's what I expected. It's not LOUD but it makes noise. (2) Covered every single thing in my room with white dust the first day. Gross. (3) Gets really dirty inside the unit and you have to clean it. (4) It BROKE! Stopped working suddenly, no power at all after 10 months. Kaz will replace it but I have to ship the whole mess myself which will probably cost a pretty penny, and the replacement won't arrive for 4-6 weeks. (5) I will be looking for a different model.

Customer Review: Good cool mist but too much upkeep; doesn't turn itself off
Summary: 3 Stars

Good output of cool mist, but daily upkeep, filter changes, is a pain. It gets stinky if you don't change the filter frequently. Also, the instructions say not to leave the unit running while empty--so why didn't the manufacturer make it shut off automatically, as other models do??? Overall, I prefer the Honeywell warm mist humidifiers with built in humidistat--easier to maintain, auto shut off.

Customer Review: Throw away humidifier
Summary: 3 Stars

The replacement filters aren't available which really is a problem. The machine is great when it is new but. . . The lack of a turn-off when empty is another thing that should be fixed but I can work around that. What can I do about the non-availability of filters?
