This didn't bother us - but I thought I would mention it in case you need a perfectly quiet room. We bought this in mid-December 2007 and it made it until January 2008. We cleaned out the container each day and used vinegar to clean the heating element. By the middle of January - we were having a hard time getting it to put out much steam, and by the end of the month, hardly any steam was coming out. from Target.com Strengths: Vicks name Weaknesses: Everything else... gets too dirty Summary: My fiancee bought this for my son (7 months old) for he was having trouble sleeping at night, and it was great the first day or two, but became too costly due to cost of supplies and a pain to clean. from Pricegrabber.com I have used this same vaporizor in the past, and didn't seem to have any problems, but we bought another new one, and for some reason, it doesn't seem to produce much steam at all. Also, we have poured a little bit of the vicks vapo steam into the water and you can barely smell it. from Target.com The instructions say to add a pinch of salt in this case. Our water is plenty hard - it creates plumes of steam! We actually dump in about a half gallon of distilled before adding tap water just to slow down the amount of steam. It's cheap. from Amazon.com We purchased a second one of these for our baby's room since his sister and he had colds at the same time. It's quiet, efficient, and holds enough water to last overnight. I like the reservoir for vicks vaposteam, and the act that it doesn't need a filter like a humidifier. The steam is probably hot enough to burn, but our kids are still in cribs. from Amazon.com KAS makes this thing and they make dangerous stuff. I bought both KAS (Vicks) humidifiers V745A and rwm-975n and they both had the same problem. THEY LEAK WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR! from Amazon.com I will start by saying that I love my little vicks vaporizer! It is incredibly easy to clean, there are no replaceable filters like you have to deal with in humidifiers, you just take the top off and rinse it out. from Amazon.com I bought this Vicks vaporizer because I needed something fast for my sick wife, and this model was the only thing around. I had to get something quickly because at the last minute I realized that it was just getting too hard to keep maintaining our wonderful Hankscraft vaporizer, from which we had gotten maybe 10 years of great service. from Amazon.com But I left it on, shut the door to keep the moisture in and when I came back awhile later, the room actually was warm and misty. I guess it takes awhile to build up but it does. Pros: Really easy to set up and use (I dont' use the Vicks inhalant, I just add salt to the water, as they suggest) Cons: from Amazon.com This didn't bother us - but I thought I would mention it in case you need a perfectly quiet room. We bought this in mid-December 2007 and it made it until January 2008. We cleaned out the container each day and used vinegar to clean the heating element.
