Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer & Humidifier for Small and Medium Rooms | 1.5 Gallon Tank Humidifier with Night Light, Works with VapoPads and VapoSteam

My mom was coughing for what felt like months. The cold winter and hot dry house was not helping. I bought this out of desperation trying to break up the cough and get her on her way to wellness. I got the vicks liquid too. Hooked this little thing up and turned it on.....I did not notice any steam, the windows did not get condensation, I was bummed. Then on the suggestion of my mom's aide along with the confirmation of my dad we put a tiny pinch of salt in the water and it was AWESOME.Now a few things to note....the good - major steam with the salt...nothing noticeable without salt. The liquid smells good and all but completely unnecessary. Moms cough literally stopped within a week after starting this up. Her 86 year old skin is beautiful and not even a little dry. Her typically very staticy hair is not at all...frizz yes, curls (was not aware she even had curls) are also a new phenomenonThe not so good. Every single day we clean and change out the water and every single day there is black gunk in the water. Makes me worry that I am sending mold into the air, but currently she is not coughing, skin integrity, and overall better feeling of a bit of moisture in the air is making us keep using it.

When I lived in Colorado 30+ years ago, I got sinus infection infections all the time, due to the extremely dry environment. I was miserable and tired of getting sinus infections.I bought one of these Vicks warm, moist vaporizer 30+ years ago and it was a Lifesaver!I’ve been visiting family again since 2024 and I’ve been miserable with the dry air. I was so excited to find the Vicks vaporizer on Amazon. It hasn’t changed and it’s an amazing and life-saving vaporizer.There’s nothing like the warm steam right next to your bed.I highly suggest this product it’s affordable and effective.

They produce hot steam, and you can put the extra vapo-steam menthol liquid in the water if you want to clear you sinuses. This vaporizer takes static out of the air and plumps up your skin. Especially important in winter when it's dry from artificial heat. I would not be caught without one of these. They last for years. I bought this one as a gift for a friend- not very glam, but it's just a must-have, and it's easy & lightweight to take anywhere (when empty, of course).If you live somewhere with hard water (like southern California)- please try to use distilled or at least filtered water in this. With hard water, you will see plack crusty buildup in the container when you goto change or add more water. That can clog the steam recepticale, so try to get it all out. If it does get clogged & stops steaming well, a pinch of salt in the water will get it going!

It doesn’t last very long, but hey works great while it does. I only used distilled water until about 2-2.5 months of use then started doing half distilled and half tap water.Now it doesn’t work. When plugged in the light turns on and you can hear it’s in and trying to build steam, but no steam comes out. It is warm to touch, but no steam comes out even when adding salt or just distilled water.

Budget friendly, easy to use and effective. Bought it for my cats with upper respiratory viral infection. This little vaporizer produces a lot of warm steam in a 12’ x 12’ room that helps relieve their sinus congestion and red dry eyes. I give them a 4 hours steam treatment in the late morning and then again in the evening starting at bed time. This little machine has auto shut off when water in the chamber is below the minimum level. The machine operates for about 4 hours with a maximum fill level. It does make very audible bubbling noise during the first 5 minutes, then it quit down to a soft bubbling sound that’s very soothing for sleep. The little green “night light” is very dim and unobtrusive.After each use, I empty out the remaining water; the water will contain specks of black grits; I believe they are the by product sediments of minerals. I rinse out the water chamber with water then, soak it with a vinegar and water solution and sit the cooled heating unit in this solution for 10 minutes. Final rinse and shake with plain water until no more vinegar odor or black specks. Wipe the water chamber and outside of heating unit dry, sit them out to air out before refilling for the next application. Add 1/8 teaspoon of plain salt (no iodine or any additive) into the water chamber, this helps increase the warm steam out put.I opened the windows a bit and turned on a small fan to air out the room for a few hours to dry out.I’m very happy with this effective, nothing fancy and easy to use little machine.

★★★★★ Great Product!I'm very happy with this purchase. The product arrived on time, was exactly as described, and met my expectations. The quality is excellent, it's easy to use, and it works as intended. I appreciate the value for the price and would definitely purchase it again. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and well-made item.

Better priced than the stores . Good size , steaks good with a pinch of salt . Without the pinch of salt there isn’t much steam. No off switch which pulling it from the wall is unsafe . It does the part but be careful

★★★★★The Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer & Humidifier is a great product for adding moisture to dry air and making the room feel more comfortable. The 1.5-gallon capacity is convenient because it can run for a long time without needing constant refilling.I like that it provides warm steam and helps create a more comfortable environment, especially during dry seasons or when dealing with congestion. It is easy to set up, simple to use, and the design is practical. The build quality feels good, and it has been reliable in daily use. I’m very satisfied with this humidifier and would recommend it for home use.

Good

Cumple su función como vaporizador, sinceramente pensé que era más pequeño, es muy muy grande, pero recomendable para la congestión

110vهذا الجهاز غير مناسب للاستعمال في المملكة العربية السعودية ،وعند استعمالة مع المحول الكهربائي يسبب انبعاث للدخان ورائحة احتراق كهرباء

Este producto lo compré para que mi bb no tuviera resecas las mucosidades durante la noche. Es muy funcional, junta bastante vapor y no gasta mucha energía. Algunas veces hay que ponerle un poco de sal para que produzca cantidad suficiente de vapor. Además, puedes ponerle tabletas vic para que deje un olor a menta. Al producto se le junta una especie de salitre, que de vez en cuando hay que retirar, pero no es complicado.

Soothing and no white dust
