Digital camera reviews of Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier
Digital camera Review: OK, not great. Not silent, either.
Summary: 3 Stars
(1) Bought this humidifier advertised as "silent." Silent to me means that it doesn't make noise, and not having owned a humidifier before that's what I expected. It's not LOUD but it makes noise. (2) Covered every single thing in my room with white dust the first day. Gross. (3) Gets really dirty inside the unit and you have to clean it. (4) It BROKE! Stopped working suddenly, no power at all after 10 months. Kaz will replace it but I have to ship the whole mess myself which will probably cost a pretty penny, and the replacement won't arrive for 4-6 weeks. (5) I will be looking for a different model.Digital camera Review: Only good for one season

This humidifier works well for awhile, but the amount of detailed inside cleaning you have to do to keep it running well is insane. I finally threw it away and bought the vicks filterless humifier and am much happier.Digital camera Review: Pleasantly surprised

I purchased this humidifier for my baby, however used it for myself first. I was worried, remembering the humidifiers from when I was a kid, that made a lot of noise, dampened any area within 5 feet of the machine and spilled out easily if the machine was bumped or while taking it to refill, not mention the moldy smell.
This machine was so simple to use, attractive and best of all quiet and efficient. The gentle sound was actually soothing to fall asleep to. The mist was strong enough to help my stuffy nose, but never got the carpet or anything near it wet. I woke up relieved, well rested and extremely pleased!! I am also happy that I tried it out myself and feel very confident putting it in my baby's room.
Digital camera Review: RETURNED 3 TIMES!

THE WATER DOES NOT SEEM TO DRAIN PROPERLY INTO THE BASE. AFTER INSERTING THE TOP PORTION INTO THE BOTTOM, ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WOULD FLOW INTO THE BASE. I EXCHANGED IT AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEXT ONE. SO I DECIDED TO DRAIN THE WATER BY HAND AND THEN TURN IT ON. WORKED OKAY BUT WAS A PAIN AND STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SO I DECIDED TO TRY YET ANOTHER ONE. ONLY TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT MUST BE A PRODUCT DEFECT. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY HOLMES ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER!!Digital camera Review: SMELLS---YUCK!

I bought this humidifier at the suggestion of a pharmacist. By the second night of using it, it had the weirdest smell, and considering I was using it during pregnancy and after baby was born, I DID'T want to take any chances that the odor could be a hazard. It works, but it has the strangest smell---and no-one knows what it is! SCARY!!!!
