Q: Is this humidifier really loud? I am looking for one for my newborn baby. Also is the night light too bright?
A: Not loud, just bought mine from target. I have mine on a plastic bin, with a towel on it. This has been great so far, day 3. My baby is 7 months old. I Didn't want to risk any moister on my wood furniture.
submitted byMommyof1 - 4 years agoA: Thank you for your inquiry Katie. This unit is fairly silent, making little more than a hiss. For the light, we cannot say if it will be too bright or night. However, you can place this on the opposite side of the room from your newborn and that will reduce the light near them as they sleep if you find it is too bright. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

Q: Is there supposed to be black particles in the water each use? I bought two of these and they both have to have the water changed multiple times per day.
A: You should expect the best from Vicks each time. Please reach out to our manufacturer at 1-800-477-0457 for the best assistance.
submitted byVicks - 3 years agoBrand expertA: Thank you for your inquiry. The black particles that you see in your vaporizer are normal. These particles are the left over minerals from your water. The reason the minerals turn black is because they have passed through the electrodes and vaporized. As long as the unit is maintained on a daily and weekly basis, you should not experience any problems with its performance. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.
