Q: Is this humidifier really loud? I am looking for one for my newborn baby. Also is the night light too bright?

submitted by Katie - 6 years ago
  • A: Not loud, just bought mine from target. I have mine on a plastic bin, with a towel on it. This has been great so far, day 3. My baby is 7 months old. I Didn't want to risk any moister on my wood furniture.

    submitted byMommyof1 - 6 years ago
  • A: Tried using this tonight but the smell was strong in my babies room. Tur we it off and read reviews that infants shouldn't use this product?

    submitted byNicole - 3 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry Katie. This unit is fairly silent, making little more than a hiss. For the light, we cannot say if it will be too bright or night. However, you can place this on the opposite side of the room from your newborn and that will reduce the light near them as they sleep if you find it is too bright. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

This item blew 2 fuses out within 5 minutes. And sparked the outlet. TARGET should get this off the shelf now. It's dangerous. Very. Was needed for health issues. Instead it furthered out health issues. Do not buy this. Stay safe. Please everyone. I'm glad I'm still here to report this. I should be compensated. But I haven't been. They asked if I had pics. How do you get pics of a sudden disaster that occured after plugging this item in .I'm baffled.

There's chunks of black stuff at the end of every use. I'm not sure what that is... Maybe from the filter? While it does but out a lot of steam, the product itself gets super hot, after about 8 months of use last night it started making a weird smell so I just tossed it. I won't by this model again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vicks warm steam vaporiser is a must for the flu and cold season especially for stuffy noses and decongestant. The product came with easy to follow instructions and one vapor pack that was ready for use. I love how the steam cleared my stuffy nose, the only thing I didn't like was the fact that the humidifier was not aesthetically pleasing, it was rather large and bulky, however that's a small price to pay for a product that works

We’re sorry to hear about the black particles in your Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer. The particles you’re seeing are likely minerals from the water that have been left behind after the water is vaporized. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help resolve this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked wonders when I had a cold. Super easy to use, just fill up with water and use the filter thing that has vicks on it and plug it in. Very quiet and it can go anywhere there's an outlet. Takes about 5 to 10 mins to warm up and steam but it lasts the whole night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Customers appreciate the humidifier's ability to keep the room moist and scented. It helps reduce dry air in winter months and sleep better. However, opinions differ on its functionality, steam production, value for money, heat level, ease of cleaning, noise level, and durability.

Krista - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
While I like that you can add the Vicks liquid to vaporize it, that small chamber doesn’t seal and makes a mess when trying to refill the large tank with water. I don’t like that it doesn’t have a power button. You have to unplug it to turn it off. It is extremely difficult to empty fully due to tank design, which makes cleaning a PIA. If you can get the salt content right, it does provide a really great vapor.
