5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Price, November 6, 2009

By	G. Mah (Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While this humidifier is spendy, it is quite worth it.
I have two of these humidifiers.

Pros:
1. High mist output - very clearly visible. It's like a fog machine! 'WOW!'
2. Mist volume control - many mist levels
3. Large water tank (20 hours of operation)
4. Direction control
5. Comes with it's own filter - but if you use distilled water you won't need to use the filter.

It's not silent but it is NOT loud by any means. I can sleep uninterrupted with it. My older humidifier produces the same noise level but my older humidifier produces a different frequency which disturbs my sleep. The Vick's is far superior to my old one.

Cons:
Like any humidifiers - you must keep it clean.
You have to keep the sonic agitator clean and free of dust/lint. A small bit of lint will negatively impact it's ability to produce high levels of mist. You don't even have to see the lint or dust.
Keeping the agitator clean is easy, don't touch it with bare hands - I only have to use running tap water on the agitator and it's dust/link free and it works like new every time.

Great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke within a month, December 4, 2009

By	A. Elder (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really liked this humidifer until it unexpectedly just stopped pumping the water out. I rinsed it. I cleaned it with a cue tip, I let it dry out. No luck. $$ down the drain, literally and had to go out and buy a new one. Very disappointing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Humidifies = yes. Noise = YES., November 17, 2008

By	M. Black - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ultimately this product was returned because of noise. The ultrasonic mechanism functions well and outputs a large amount of mist.

The most prominent negative aspect of this unit is that it is rather noisy even at the lowest setting.

IF this unit operated with less noise, it would not have been returned.
