We bought this for our 9 month old that was up crying at night with a terrible cold. It maybe worked for 3 days and then started LEAKING EVERYWHERE!!! We couldn't even put it back in the room because when we tried to carry it in it spilled water constantly. Biggest waste of money ever!!! Spend more and get something better! Now my husband is out buying a new one at 10 at night because she still has her cold.

I have yet to have a problem with this product. I have had this humidifier for 6 years and I have not experienced any leaking or mold issues. I use the KAZ water additives that are sold next to the product to avoid any mold or mildew issues. With any humidifier, an additive should be used to avoid mold and mineral deposits. I think this product is great and has lasted me quite a while.

I bought this humidifier for my 3 month old infant, it was ok in the beginning. After a month of use it started to grow mold on the filter, that's not cool. I went to but another filter and saw that it cost almost as much as the unit (WTH)!!! Anyway I'm on my way to return it this week and get the [...] model in pretty pink for my daughter. Whatever you do don't buy this machine its not worth all the hassle.

Not happy with this humidifier at all. Doesn't seem to be blowing much moisture into the air because it's all leaking on to my carpet! Woke up to a puddle on floor. We were trying to save some money by going with the cheaper model...bad idea!

This thing worked for a little over a month. I ran it daily but not excessively. It no longer puts out any humidity. How can I tell? I no longer need to refill the water because it's no longer using any up. When I first bought it I was refilling it every 3-4 days. I can't find the receipt or I'd return it or use the warranty. But honestly, after only 30 days of use I shouldn't have to do either. Apparently I was just renting this thing for a dollar a day or something. That's an awful lot of pla stic going to waste for only 30 days of use. Now I have to find a recycling center. And buy a new humidifier...obviously not a Vicks brand.

Great buy but leaking tank seal

I really like this humidifier. It is loud, but I use it as both a humidifier and a white noise machine for my babies room. It's so loud that my 2 year old can be screaming outside the babies room and she doesn't wake up. Any parent can attest to this being a very good thing! The only issue is that the tank started leaking after about 4 months of use. I discovered the issue was a poor seal on the fill spout to the tank. Because this spout sits directly on top of the actual motor, any leaking goe s directly into the engine and floods it. It doesn't [ruin] power to the humidifier, so it just sprays water EVERYWHERE. It was so annoying and usually only happened on the evenings I had to refill the humidifier. I refused to pay another [$] for another humidifier just because the seal was leaking, so I contacted the company via email and they promptly sent me a new seal. No questions asked. It seems to have resolved the problem and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend this humidifier if you want the white noise. If you want something quiet, don't buy this one.

I bought this humidifier for my daughter's room over the winter. I loved it. The noise of this humidifer produced a soft white noise for my daughter and actually helped her sleep. It was easy to clean and easy to use. HOWEVER, after a couple of months and despite my actions to properly take care of it, it began making a gargling sound and began leaking from the base (where the power cord meets the base of the humidifer). I loved this product while it was working, but am a little disappointed it did not last more than a few months.

I bought this about a month ago to use in my infant's nursery as she was having some allergy-related congestion. It leaks water with almost every use. Sometimes it starts leaking as soon as I turn it on and sometimes it seems to run fine but I'll find it leaking later on. It has ruined spots of brand new carpet in the nursery. It is an extremely poorly designed product--DO NOT BUY IT.

I bought this humidifier for my baby's bedroom and the only thing I like about it is the white noise it makes when on the lowest setting. The BIG problem is that the humidifier leaks, and we get the whole tank of water on our carpet. So you have water on the floor/carpet while the humidifier keeps running. No only it's a mess, but it's dangerous! Would not recommend this one.

I bought this product for its look and price. My daughter (4) had been having a cough for a while and was recommended a humidifier. Since then, there is very little coughing at night and its only been about 2 weeks. I leave it on low and love that the white noise keeps her asleep. I fill it up every 2-3 days. Yes, the high setting is a bit loud, so not recommended for those with "sensitive ears." I will be purchasing another one for our newbon.
