    Perfect for Winters! An essential part of my kids

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A humidifier is essential for our family, especially in winter! My kids ,at times, experience congestion and stuffy nose after being outdoors for long, and it's important for us to have an effective humidifier in their room! Vicks is a brand that we have been using for decades. We were excited to try the Vicks Filter Free Plus Cool Mist Ulrasonic Humidifier. It is extremely convenient to use and works like a charm in combination with the Vicks Vapo Pads! The wide tank makes the fill up easy and cleaning a breeze! The sleek touch controls are easy to use and understand! It's runs strong almost all day , after Filling! It's super sturdy, however, not very heavy! It isn't noisy at all.

    Instructions written poorly and don’t tell you the diagram is the bottom of the tank. I thought I was looking at a different model. When grabbing the tank off the base, it turned itself on (on it’s own). And continued to spurt water everywhere until I unplugged it. The tank sits on the base and there’s no way to secure it.

    I regret not reading the reviews before purchasing this product. I bought it yesterday and used it last night, only to wake up to a puddle of water on the floor. Unfortunately, this caused water damage to my nightstand. I’ll be returning it today and won’t be purchasing again. Very disappointed with the quality and the damage it caused.

    I feel really bad because the reviews seem horrible, but we’ve had this about a month. We got it during the beginning of flu season when all my kiddos got it. This cool mist has been a lifesaver. We got the one with the touch power knob. We haven’t had any issues, it isn’t noisy at all and it’s kept working we’re continuing to use it in our sons room who is asthmatic and it is helping him not have so much cough at night. I do recommend it, however we personally have not experienced the issues everyone else is.

    My second purchase (same model) and it won’t even turn on. Did all the troubleshooting… seems to be a poorly made motherboard. The humidifier RANDOMLY turned on by itself (I didn’t initiate anything, just sitting in my room when it came on suddenly). Now it doesn’t even turn on. This seems to happen after I clean the humidifier - and I did it carefully as instructed without getting any water in the open vents in the base unit.
