Customer Review: Not as good as I had hoped!
Summary: 2 Stars
The unit stopped working after three days. I spent a long time on the phone waiting for KAZ customer service and they just told me to return it to where I purchased it from. The unit was also louder (especially when the water tank was low), than my Douglas ultrasonic humidifier (that still works after about 10 years). I use Reverse Osmosis water in the humidifier, so the white mineral dust is not a problem for me. I will try the Venta Sonic next.Customer Review: WHISPER quiet it is NOT!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Well it says on the box that it is whisper quiet, and it was at first, untill a couple of days later it stated to be really loud and gets louder gradulaly. Sometime we don;t hve this problem, but most of the time after while of it beening on it becomes quite annoying, so I turn it off. Its good if you don;t mind loud repetive noise, I want another one and will probably end up getting a differnt one sometime down the road.Customer Review: Smell
Summary: 2 Stars
I suppose the operation of the unit works fine, we have no complaints there. We are concerned with the smell that the unit outputs. We have extreamly hard water and are using the demin. filter that came with the unit. As soon as we started the humidifier, there was a sharp smell coming out with the vapors. Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to clean/ fix it?Customer Review: Bad odor
Summary: 2 Stars
Like some of the other people reviewing this item, ours developed a bad odor after a month of use. I have cleaned the thing thoroughly according to the instructions, but it still smells bad. I cannot find the replacement filter anywhere. It's very good at producing mist, but the room gets saturated with the odor. It's the last time I'll buy a Vicks product.Customer Review: A little too noisy
Summary: 2 Stars
The unit seemed to work well, and produced a nice vapor, but we bought it for bedroom use and it was just too noisy. It produced a high pitched whine which was uncomfortable. I could hear it from adjacent rooms. We tried it in the TV room where our Christmas Tree is and it worked better there but it we could still hear it so we returned the unit.
