The Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier
The Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier is a basic model humidifier that works well and functions reliably. If you’re looking for a dependable, no-frills solution for your home, this is the model you need to get.
If you’ve been frustrated with an endless stream of broken humidifiers, the Vicks model will be a welcome relief – it gets high consumer ratings and it holds up to use, year after year.
It’s also very easy to care for. It comes with a basin tray that’s dishwasher safe, so you can pop it in with your dishes and forget about it. The filter dries quickly in the sun to stay sanitary longer. The Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier also manages to take care of the problem of scale build-up, which can be a real problem if you live somewhere with mineral-rich water.
The humidifier features two speeds. The higher speed is noisy, however the low speed is very quiet. Consumers consistently rate it at “whisper quiet.” I personally like the louder sound at night when I’m sleeping – it provides a good white noise to the room. However, the quiet is nice during they day when you’re trying to work or talk in a room.
You’ll notice the difference this humidifier makes right away – it works well. It will visibly raise the humidity in a room, even a larger room. It keeps it nice and humid, which helps keep your skin soft and protects your lips from getting chapped.
Filters for this unit are easy to find and reasonably priced, something that’s important. You’ll replace the filter periodically to keep the unit functioning well – and to keep everything sanitary.
Have you had humidifiers leak on you in the past? This won’t be an issue with the Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier. It’s completely water tight and it keeps the moisture where it’s supposed to be – in the tank and heading into your air. Forget your worries about wet spots on the carpet.
One fill will generally last you a day or two, so its capacity is not quite as high as some other humidifiers on the market. The cap can also be hard to get off. However, regular water changes will keep the water in the unit clean and sanitary for you. And a little extra effort in getting the cap off also means you’re more protected from leaks and puddles when the unit is in use!
The Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier is an excellent basic model humidifier. It’s easy on the budget, and more importantly, the air you breathe is gentle and easy on your lungs.
