V3100

I bought a V3100 product approximately 3 yrs ago. Whew, it was a great product (apart from the fact that we-brothers,sisters, Mom & Dad) used Vicks from babies until adulthood. My V3100 finally concked out in January of this year(2012). The motor is good, but the cover for the tank is no good. I searched for another V3100- but cold find none. So I resorted to another brand - the No Filter Vicks Humidifier. That was " No Good ". I thought without a Filter it would be great, but it was not. When I place my hand over the machine I could feel the water coming out; it formed on my hand & it was wetting up the rug where it was placed. Further it got all my furniture, TV's & computer White with gritty stuff & I had a lot of trouble cleaning it off. Then my sinus got infected. This Vicks product was bought from WalMart, which I returned. I went another 2 weeks before I got some money & found a V3100 at my local CVS. I bought it and am so well pleased & happy.Now my only problem is to find replacement filters & something - a tablet- that would help to make the water softer. If I could get another or a replacement tank I could use it in my living room.

I wanna say-" Kudos " to my Vicks V3100 humidifer.

Broke after a using 3 months.

just purchased

I just purchased this today.  I had to return the other model i bought yesterday because it was too noisy and kept me awake.   This one has 2 speeds; the lower one is quieter and I can see the amount of water left through the top.

Vicks 3100 humidifier

The Vicks 3100 cool mist humidifier works great; we use three to humidify our entire home, and they each use about 1 gallon of water per day.   We have had no problems with water leakage or filters.

We had been using a Vicks 4500 (fan-powered visible mist generating type) humidifier.  That unit, with our hard water (and even more so with our 'softened' water) generated an extremely fine white powder dust.  It spread through the entire house, and by the time we realized it was coming from the humidifier, an area of hardwood flooring near the humidifier was covered with a film.  That unit put out more water but the dust was totally unacceptable, and a pain to clean up.

2nd Vicks 3100

Original purchased a V3100 Cool Air Moisture Humidifier for my Daughter's room. Had for 2 weeks and liked how it worked so I got another for our Bedroom. Have them both on for many hours of the week, we have electric heat. Only wish there was a way to clean the filter to get more use out of them instead of always having to buy new.

Comment on this review


cool mist humidifier

The unit seems to work okay, but it makes a weird burp type of noise every so often that wakes me up each time it burps (bluublup).  I thought I could use this at night when we are running the heater to keep our eyes,throat, and sinus's from drying out, but not if it's going to keep us up all night.

Disappointed

I purchased a Vicks Filter Free Humidifer about 3 weeks ago,  Model V4450,  and am so disappointed in it,  My whole bedroom is covere with a white dust,   I had been havinf bad nose bleeds,  and this did help ,  but I can't put up with the white powder all over,  I'm taking it to Good will.

Product Review

Excellent humidifier ... runs many hours without drying out.  I like the two setting choices, too.

Comment on this review


Leaking really bad

I have purchased this humidifier a few weeks ago and noticed that it had been leaked all over about a week ago. I thought I had put the tank on correctly and just ignored it. 2 days later, it happened again and I blamed my husband for not putting it right. And of course, it happened again yesterday and I finally realized that the humidifier itself has a problem. I have no idea what the problem is but I feel like I wasted $ on this. I hope to get this fixed or get a new one by the company.

This product is a good product, but it is hard to get the things I need for it  for example  I need a filter every 2-3 months I cant find one,  I need cleaning solution to clean the bowlk out  None to be found,  where can I find this stuff?????

Comment on this review


Financially frustrated!

I just purchased the replacement tank thinking that I was being thrifty instead of buying a whole new one. Unfortunately when I received the new tank to my surprise it''s not the right one. My model is the V3100 and I ordered the replacement tank for the V3100, so why is it not the right tank? 

Financially frustrated

Quality Product

My wife and I bought for our baby's room. It is much needed during the cold, extremely dry months here in New England. We put in on the low setting when she goes to sleep. It lasts quite a long time. The noise is soothing to her as well. The filter stays healthy for a 3-4 months at a time if you also use the product sold on this website, KAB-8. We put one capfull in everytime we fill up the tank. I've gone through many humidifiers in the past, some more expensive and that are supposed to be of better quality. I liked it so much, we're getting one too.

Vicks V3100

When I turned this humidifier on for the very first time, the motor made an aweful "clicking" sound. I brought it right back to Target and they gave me a full refund. I purchased the exact same humidifier and the new one works great!

Comment on this review


OK, but...

This humidifier is quiet enough on the Low setting, but the High setting makes it sound like you're inside a wind tunnel! Not conducive to sleep at all, if you're using it in your bedroom....

Comment on this review


Great new Design

Just as quiet as the older model but the water refill is much better.  It is easier to open and the larger opening makes it easier to clean.

Comment on this review


Great Filter, Great Service!

Thank you for the great service!

Comment on this review


Almost perfect

I had a Vicks V3100 for over 3 years before I purchased a new one and it never gave up on us...the only reason I purchased a new one was because they had modified the hole size in order to clean inside the water container which was great since the other one didn't allow for my hand to clean inside it and it just got real dirty. This new one was great but went out in less than a year. We ran it the same way we did the other, so disappointed but I would remain with this one no matter what.

Comment on this review


not so good

I have had 4 different V3100 humidifiers. Something always goes wrong with them. First one made a terrible noise after only a few months of use. Second one did the same. Third one we couldn't get the opening open to put the water in. This last one has the same issue, the cap is way too hard to get off, and now the machine is making a horrible noise. Please help me! I want a V3100 that works so that we may use it regularly. We love it when it works! Thank you.

I got the Humidifier from my sister, got the water wick and I use it in the basement where it can get pretty dry. It seems to be doing a fine job for me.

Comment on this review


Excellent!

Works very well.  The weekly cleaning is a bit of a pain, but it is the same with any humidifier.  I'm very glad that I read the owner's manual when I was trying to decide which model to buy.

Filter Review

I'm happy with the timeliness of receiving the replacement filters for the Vicks 3100 humidifier.

Comment on this review


Mrs. Carla Schreiner

I actually love this product, I have had it for less than a year and I unplugged it and dried it out and got a new filter for it. It was unplugged for about 2 weeks and when I put the new filter back in and went to start it, it no longer works! I loved it for the few months that it worked and liked the large reservoir of water so I wasn't filling it all the time, but now that it has stopped working completely I'm upset!!

Comment on this review


user

unit works great.  It is easy to fill and puts out invisible moisture without getting it's area wet.   It works well for my great room and I can keep the humidity around 39-40% during winter months.

Comment on this review

V3100

This actually the best hunimidifier I have bought off the counter. The only downside is purchasing filter every now and then.

Comment on this review


QUIET

Bought this one to replace an old untrasonic humidifier in my bedroom.This does everything you could want. It is QUIET, and it keeps the room at a nice level of humidity. I am very happy with this unit.

 

Comment on this review


DO NOT BUY THIS

I have gone through two of these humidifiers in 3 months. Each time the water has emptied into the motor and overflown the catch basin thus soaking the surface it has been placed on! I have the older version of this humidifier and it still works great but the new redesigned version is terrible.

Comment on this review


Great! But...

I thought the humidifier model v3100 was great when I bought it. It worked so well, was so easy to begin to use. But at exactly 16 days after purchase and use, the humidifier started leaking out the bottom. I don't know why. The filter looks torn and yellow though tap water was supposed to be ok to use. I'm really disheartened. Customer service line said to register, but I don't think when I call back I'll get much help. How could this be product be broken after exactly 16 days or less of use? Help!

COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

EXCELLENT PRODUCT--THIS IS OUR SECOND PURCHASE OF THIS ITEM!!!

Comment on this review


good

bought a second cool air humidifier like the first one i bought

Comment on this review


unhappy

The unit worked well for about a month. Then air leaked in by the gasket at the water filling cap overflowing the water tray and on to the floor. The picture in the manual and the actual unit do not agree. I looked on the web site for replacement gaskets but none were listed.

Great Humidifier

This humidifier is great for my small house!

Comment on this review


cool mist humidifier

have always enjoyed your products. they are very effective and fairly inexspensive.

Comment on this review


Poor Design

I thought the new design was great when I first got it but the lid being directly over the motor is the dumbest design ever!  It has leaked twice now... all into the motor and onto my carpet... Water and electricity don't mix!  I had the lid on real tight also and it still leaked all over.  Easier to clean for sure but not as safe as the old design.  I plan on returning this...

Comment on this review


Great Filters

This is a great filter for my humidifier's.

Comment on this review


Leaking Humidifier

It is a great little unit when it works properly. This humidifier drains itself all over what you have it sitting on when the very short lived filters start to go.  Nothing like waking up to a soaking wet area.  Filters do not last reasonalby long and thus become expensive to replace. Do not set it on anything good!

Comment on this review


NEVER BUY

I would have given this product a zero if the form would have allowed me to. I have purchased 2 of these within the last year and both quit working. The replacement filters are hard to find and the product just doesn't last long.

We purchased this for our first child's room 2 years ago.  It has worked great and held up.  Like it so much we bought another for our new baby's room.

Great!!!!

I love this humidifire, good product for the price!! I like the multiple settings and it lasts for almost 24 hours if its on the low setting and its easy to clean. The only thing i do not like is the filter setup.

Comment on this review


Works Well

It does enough of a good job for the price.

Comment on this review


Mostly good

We have purchased several Vicks humidifiers over the years. The most recent one we've enjoyed using is the V3100 - we use 1 in our toddler's room and 1 in our bedroom at night & move it to the living room during the day. Both have worked well for us until after 1 year of off & on use, 1 of them stopped working, presumably the motor broke. We've already purchased the same model as a replacement & are returning the broken one for a refund because of the 3 year warranty. So we're still happy with the model and look forward to using it all winter.

Comment on this review


Broken

My model is broken the water is coming out. We will see if we get replacement for it.

Comment on this review

Took and bought this unit the other day for my kids room, and so far so good seams to be working great. Am thinking of getting another for my room.

Vaporizor V3100

The vaporizor is small and convenient to use. It works well for one small bedroom. The canister will last for two nights on the low fan speed. The filter is too tall for the fit of the water canister. After about one wee of use the filter begins to take a mushroom shape at the top and if you are not very diligent about the placement of the water canister onto the body of the vaporizer, it is possible to for the water cannister to sit high in the back allowing the resevoir to overfill and flood the motor. It is only noticable after about 2 to 3 minutes when the normal sound of the motor begins to literally drowned out in water. I resolved this by cutting 1.5" of filter off the top ensuring the water canister always has room to sit into the body of the vaporizor. I have purchased two of these units and both units do the exact same same thing.

V3100 - 1/09/2012

I've had mine for years and it is still going strong. It's easy to use and maintain; every 3 - 4 uses I add a 1/2 cap of a liquid Cleaner/Descaler and 1/2 cap of a liquid Evaporative Humidifier Bacteriostatic Treatment (prevents unpleasant odors and mildew. I get those at Walmart. If you don't see them near the humidifiers, check the garden dept. Very inexpensive. The only con is that I can't find the filters in the stores any longer.

Comment on this review


Very unsatisfied

I am very unsatisfied with this product. It has never produced vapor. We have read the instructions, installed a new filter, and looked all over for a customer service number that we can call to discuss our problem. It has been all to no avail. The humidifier simply does not produce any vapor. The water level in the morning is exactly the same as the night before. We marked the water level with tape to determine this.

It is plugged in and turned on, by the way.

ok

I just bought in April 2011 and it is broken already.
