Humidifiers Reviews

i really love it, its beautiful and has the remote you can control the light show.. so relaxing to watch and my throat isnt dry and hurting at night anymore.. definately worth the money and more.. i slipped a little rose oil into the water thinking it wouldnt work like they claimed.. but it was amazing.. all night the room was filled with this delightful soothing rose scent.. i highly recommend it!!

We have an older model, without the night light. We like it very much, but it does have its drawbacks. The HIGH level is very loud. That being said, the LOW level is not too loud and does what it is supposed to do. Mine does not shut off automatically, but we live in a dry climate.

I think the fact that I don't have to deal with a filter is the best part. It is a decent pick up though.

I just purchased the 33252 model today, so can't comment on its performance. However the Amazon description is wrong: this model DOES NOT have the Automatic Shutoff feature. You have to get the 3.5 gallon model to get that (according to the Hunter site.)

Brought this home and immediately there are problems: it will only work if the unit is tilted. So I put a napkin folded up under one side it works..but seems a little silly. There is some sensor in there that needs to be in contact with water and somehow mine only works with the "leaning tower" approach..avoid this one!

I had a succession of ultrasonic humidifiers from Sharper Image over the years which were fabulous for conditioning a dry room for a singer. However, there were always two big drawbacks: (1) they'd leave white dust everywhere unless you used distilled water in them; and (2) if you let them run after the water emptied, it'd burn out the fan and then the unit would have to be replaced.

However, ultrasonics are so much better for the voice than standard cool or warm humidifiers, so when Sharper Image recently stopped making this, I looked elsewhere and found the model above from Vicks. Since I know to use only distilled water, the dust thing isn't an issue. My initial impression was one of being very impressed by the significantly greater volume of cool mist it pushed out, and it did so essentially silently. Also it has a far greater storage capacity than the old Sharper Image model, so it needn't be refilled as often.

That idyllic image lasted for my first two hours of use. Then I turned it off to go to lunch. When I turned it back on an hour later, surprise, surprise, no mist would come out. It just plain DIED! I then called the 800 number (which was staffed by some people who had absolutely no - I mean ZERO - prior familiarity with the product), and the only tip I got was from their voice mail which said to unplug the unit for one hour so it could "re-set" itself. I did so, but after replugging it, still no luck.

Can't ANYONE make one of these that is reliable? Vicks sure hasn't.

I was reluctant to spend this much money on a humidifier, but it has been well worth it. This product works great. It is quiet and it's easy to fill up. The only feature it is missing is automatic shutoff. CVS.com does sell this model for $10 cheaper so if you print that out from their website and take it into the Babies R Us store, they'll match the price.
