Vicks Humidifier Filter Free Moisturized V745A Reviews Summary

Efficiency and Performance

Pros:

• "The output is great and it can add a lot of moisture to a room quickly!"
• "The one I placed in my room works perfectly."
• "By the time I went to bed the air in the room was vastly improved."
• "It's been great for my throat! I no longer cough upon waking up and I don't wake up in the middle of the night with a parched throat to drink some water."
• "On low the tank last 24 hours."
• "It produces a nice warm mist."
• "This little humidifier is really powerful-I have noticed a big difference in the air."

Cons:

• "This humidifier barely puts out any steam. It’s not enough to even see in the air while running on high."
• "This thing barely makes any mist/steam."
• "The next morning I went to get my son from his crib and his room REEKED of burning plastic."
• "This worked well for one season then started leaking."
• "This unit barely produced any steam."
• "I bought this product because it was supposed to expel enough steam to humidify my small bedroom but it doesn't."
• "It didn't really work at all - rather than change the humidity in the room at all, it just leaked everywhere."

Design and Usability

Pros:

• "I can fit my hand in the tank which I love I never had one that I could do that with."
• "I find that with the latest model using a funnel, which I made from a two liter plastic soda bottle, makes refilling much easier than taking to the kitchen sink. :)"
• "These are very well made I've never had a problem with them I've never had leakage or water issues."
• "There are only a few parts, which makes it easy to clean and when hard water debris builds up, I just soak the base in vinegar."
• "It's very easy to take off the few parts and wash and put vinegar."
• "The small opening is big enough to add the water but it is impossible to get inside the tank to dry it."
• "It's quiet, easy to use, and easy to clean."

Cons:

• "When I went to clean it in the a.m. it was caked with minerals from a single use."
• "The new one is so small it's impossible to get anything inside and you have to aim very carefully to get the water in the hole."
• "Cleaning it every once in a while is mandatory."
• "The water tank also doesn't sit flat when you're filling it because of the nifty updated space age shape."
• "Another annoying thing about this humidifier is the amount of crap that builds up on the heating unit from the water."
• "Because of the small size opening into the tank, there were always parts of the tank I could not wipe out."
• "Cleaning it is a real effort, after the first couple of uses the clear water tank became what looked like fog so I went to clean it turns out its cracking from the inside."

Reliability and Durability

Pros:

• "I would buy this over and over again."
• "My parents have kept the same one for a long time."
• "They really designed this for long lasting use."
• "I’ve had my original Vick’s warm mist humidifier since my 6yrld son was born."
• "It's an inexpensive model, but with proper care it'll last me a long time."
• "I mean for $40 I got a good year out of it. But still it would have been nice to get maybe another two more years before it breaks."
• "We bought this in April 2017 and it finally died November 2023."
