Please note that this humidifier also purifies the air. It makes noise, but I think its soothing. I use it everyday and I usually add a little eucalyptus oil(one drop). I have one in my son's room and one in my bedroom. I have found that my yearly sinus attacks have decreased in number and severity. Thank God for this item!
 Serves the PurposeFeb 26, 2010
This humidifer works as advertised. I found it somewhat loud, but not in an annoying way, just creates some good white noise in my opinion. I had an older one which broke and it took me a few days to replace. Only then did I realize how much of a difference it was making in the dry heat of the winter. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to keep you from getting too dried out when you sleep, this will do the trick. Nothing fancy, no real features, it just works.
 Like Harleys?Feb 22, 2010
How could Vicks let a product like this on the market? Is there development team hard of hearing? This thing sounds like a roaring Harley Davidson is running all night in your bedroom. We dampened the sound somewhat by placing a towel underneath but still it is way too LOUD!!! Only plus I can see is that it's very easy to clean compared to other humidifiers. But really the sound level is retarded and it also spits little drops of water not only a mist so be careful if you place this on a nice piece of furniture.

Nice Humidifier, Good if you like White NoiseDec 31, 2009
To start my review, let me say that if you are looking for a super-quiet humidifier, this one isn't for you. After reading through all of the reviews, this seems to be the number one complaint. It isn't really loud, but it does make a constant humming sound. I happen to like this sound,it's like white noise and it helps me sleep. As for the features:
Reservoir: nice size, easy to clean. I can see how it might be hard to transport when full, but I fill mine with a pitcher and keep it in one spot.
Filter: I haven't used the humidifier long enough to know how long it lasts, but the refills are available on amazon and are reasonably inexpensive ((3-PACK) Vicks Dynafilter K14 Air Cleaning Humidifier Replacement Cartridge (k-14)). To prolong the life of the filter you can also get tank cleaners.
Settings: no fancy settings with this humidifier, just an on/off switch.
Moisture: The humidifier puts out a decent amount of moisture. Do be careful if you leave it on for a long period of time (say overnight) because things might get a little damp. If you want a humidifier that puts out moisture without a mist, I recommend the Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier (Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier). It is a couple of dollars more, but it puts out no visible mist (though it is a little bit louder).
Overall, I like this humidifier. It puts forth a lot of moisture, and has (in my opinion) a nice white noise sound. The reservoir is large enough that it lasts for several hours so it doesn't have to constantly be refilled. Compared to other humidifiers I have owned it is easy to clean and the filters are easy to insert/replace.
Soaks EVERYTHINGDec 20, 2009
Every night it soaks through 2-3 towels, plus it still gets the carpet wet underneath as well as things I couldn't cover. It is also a pain to fill because it is hard to carry and move once it is full.
