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

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 value and works perfectly. Larger than expected. Silent. Easy to use. Comes with a vapor pack and humidifies room quickly. Looks good. Easy to fill.

Works directly as intended. Clear instructions, with the warm mist it it heats the room up slightly but very comfortable. Would buy more.

I bought this 1.5 gal vicks vaporizer last year. Ok with noise and heat. I tried using Vicks vaporizer pads in slots. Two days no vaporizer smell and padsnot dissolving. So I added vaporizer to tray. That works great. I hope vicks will respond because I just ordered a second unit for bedroom for winter. Thanks. Value wise best one yet.

This Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer & Humidifier is great! We love what it does! I wholeheartedly endorse this piece of equipment!

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!

Product works great at first. It says it last hours but it really only works for 4 hours. Even if you add salt like the directions say. After awhile it stops producing the vapor. Tried multiple times using more salt, or adding more salt in after a few hours.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ 5 stars to get your attention. Terrible ! Stopped working at 2-3 months. I’ve ordered this in October by December it stopped working. The light in the motor was on so I assumed it was still working. I’ve noticed the water I’ve put in there from the night before was still sitting there. I’ve trashed this item and will never purchase another one of this kind again.

It works fine but do not think am NOT getting effective use of medicine cup it is not getting enough heat or able to disperse the oils I am using into the air flow just evaporates Get better cleaning of scale by using baking soda instead of salt . . Salt builds crystals and baking soda remains scale

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

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

I have purchased 1.5 Gallon Vicks vaporizer.It didn't work from the beginning.I asked for replacement.It took more than 20days to replace the product but again the same problem it's not working.

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.
