Digital camera reviews of Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier
Digital camera Review: Great Product --- Great Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I sent an email to Vicks about the coupons that I found in the humidifier I bought for my dd. I was excited when I found coupons in the box, but less than excited to see that they expired a month before the baby was born!
So after emailing Vicks, they told me that another company called Kaz actually produced it for them and I needed to contact them directly about getting replacement coupons.
Well, needless to say just a couple weeks went by and amazingly, there were coupons for Vicks products in my mailbox! :D
By the way, I LOVE the Vicks Ultrasonic (Cool Mist) Humidifier, Model V5100N!!!!!! I had the Evenflo (hot) Humidifier and it did not put out near as much steam and was a burn risk to boot!!!
Digital camera Review: Great humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
Our son gets asthma and croup from colds, so having a good humidifier was essential to keep his airway open. This was our third and final humidifier. After wasting our money on cheapo humidifiers that stopped working after a couple months, and that were awkward to fill and transport without spilling and to assemble correctly to get going, this humidifer worked like a charm. Sometimes there is a slight medicinal smell in the room in the morning, but it's not overwhelming, or that different from any other humidifier. We have had this humidifier for two years now and with proper maintenance it still runs like the day we bought it.Digital camera Review: Great product, no problems at all!

I've had mine for a few months now and have used it for my kids very bad colds and also they both had RSV in November and had to use it for that as well. It's quiet, you wouldn't know it was on. You can adjust the direction it sprays. The water lasts all night long and for one nap the next day. I wash once a week like the directions say. It's also neat looking, not hospital like :) We're thinking of buying one for our own bedroom w/ all this dry weather!Digital camera Review: Great quiet humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for a 7-month old baby's room that is often very dry. Have owned a Holmes cold-mist humidifier in the past, but were looking for something quieter. We have had this for about 3 weeks, and it is working very well - quiet, the mist stream and nozzle set up is nice, let you point the visible mist away from walls. Best thing is that it IS much quieter than the cold-mist humidifiers we have tried/used in the past.
One short-coming: no humidistat, so we have to manually turn it off - this is a bit of a pain late at night.
Digital camera Review: Great when working, but unreliable
Summary: 2 Stars
As devotees of ultrasonic humidifiers, we snapped up 3 of these units to compete with the forced-air heat. There is a lot to like: large capacity tank, very quiet, fine mist. Unfortunately, I think there is some type of engineering problem with either the ultrasonic transducer or the water-level sensing circuit. We have sent two back for replacement, because they simply quit working -- regardless of the cleaning and demineralizing routine. One replacement failed after two uses. One of the remaining three is now becoming erratic, and the ultrasonic transducer is delaminating. The water demineralizing cartridges are a great idea, and work pretty well, but be aware that they don't prevent all of the mineral dust. Still, use them.So in short, these units are a great idea, but they need some better ruggedizing. My Holmes ultrasonic is 10 years old and still runs fine. You're lucky to get 10 months from these.
