VICKS VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier White

My 5 year old was getting regular nosebleeds in the night especially when the weather was hot and she slept with the fan circulating dry air around the room. Since using this she has not had any nosebleeds at all as the air becomes more humid and is less irritating to the nostrils. She has also used the menthol vapopads when she has had a stuffy nose due to cold symptoms and she has definitely sleeps better through the night. The menthol smell is not particularly strong though which for a kid is probably a good thing, however it might not be much use for an adult unless you sleep with it right next to your bed on a bedside table. With a full tank of water, it will last for about 4-5 hours. I wish I got the larger one so that I wouldn’t have to fill it up again in the middle of the night. When it runs out of water, it automatically stops and the green light turns red. I’ve left it on the red light until morning and it’s not been a problem. Cleaning can be a pain in the backside as you have to do it weekly to prevent mould build up. It would be better if it we’re easy to open up the tank completely to empty and clean but all you can do is let the water drain from the port - inevitably not all of the water will come out.

Love it. Bought it for my office which is very hot and dry during the winter. It sits on my desk and keeps the area around my desk humidified, I can feel it working on my dry throat and sinuses within 30 minutes. This is a small compact version of larger humidifiers. It doesn’t have any output controls, but if find that the o.5 litre capacity lasts around 5 -6 hours (although it’s switched off when I go for lunch). I empty the water each night and dry the bottom mechanism for storage in my desk drawer overnight. Love the fact that the power cable plugs into the humidifier, meaning I can take it away for cleaning/drying without dangling wires. I haven’t used the diffuser pads - not sure my colleagues would appreciate menthol all day. Excellent well made product with auto cut off when water runs out (red light shows on display). Portable enough to take on my holidays - I always find hotel rooms far too dry....... Brilliant.

Firstly, it isn't actually from Vicks, they just recommend it. Positives (a bit forced): -Seems to have solved my dry skin -Quiet unlike any fan -Small and compact -Isn't too difficult to clean -Works just as any humidifier should -Is cool mist as advertised Negatives: -When it's on, it has that normal ultrasonic sound, but it has a drip drip sound too which is odd, but isn't too loud so falling asleep is fine. -The way the top half container is designed is poor. There is no latching mechanism to the bottom half, so the top half is just loose. So when you do carry it, (it's supposed to advertised as portable?) you have to carry it with your fingers at the base your thumbs to secure the top half. -The bottom carries some water so if it does have any, and you tilt it, it will leak. -I thought it would be battery powered but it has to be powered by the mains (maybe that's just on me) -They keep talking about how you should keep the room between 40% and 60% humidity but the humidifier itself doesn't have any sensor of that sort; instead they want you to purchase an actual sensor All in all, it works, and isn't too bothersome, and so that's fine for me at least. It does seem like my dry skin is much better which is good.

Wouldn’t give it the 1 star. Disappointing product not worth £24 cheaper at Costco. Additionally the product only last 2/3 hours and there is no scent of the vicks tab.

It dose seem to stop after a bit so you have to turn it off again

Very compact and the menthol smell with the sachets in aee very strong which is great. Mist does not travel far and does need to be quite close to you to feel any impact but works well if on a desk working or next to the sofa when watching tv.

Very much rate this humidifier. I used it when both me & my baby had a cold and it magically stopped us both coughing all night. Both able to breathe easier and slept like babies! The scented pads smell lovely and the unit is easy to setup. The quiet bubbling sound is incredibly soothing. No major drawbacks, except I learnt the hard way not to tip it when full. The scented pads are a little tricky to fit without skin contact but nothing to put me off recommending to people. Don’t wait until your child has a cold to buy one - they will have frequent colds and you’ll be very glad for this!

Brilliant little thing for when the kids get a cough or a cold. It's only small so it doesn't take up loads of room. Provides enough vapour to fill the room when used with the Vicks pads too. Really helps when they get a cough and a cold to help them sleep.

This is perfect and does the job well. I only wish the water tank was a big bigger

مايجي كامل مثل ماهو مكتوب بالوصف جاني بس معاه مغلف منديل واحد تجربة سيئة

So i was having wheezes and cough issue. when i used the Vicks pad it started giving peculiar smell and irritating one. i couldnt tolarate the smell anymore and returned it. wish they had better aroma flovours.
