Vicks Vaporizer with Nightlight Product Reviews
Model Number: V105SG Category: Humidifiers Dimensions: 19.75 x 0 x 21.50 in Color: Blue/White Wattage: 638 maximum Warranty: 3 Year Limited Price: $17.99 Sale Price: $9.99 Save: $8.00 (44% off) Kaz VaporizerThe vaporizer came on time and has been working very well except for the first time I used it. It got to hot. Now what I have found out is I am on a well and there is a lot of minarels in our water and we DO NOT put salt in the vaporizer just use the water with NO salt and it will work fine. the unit is great. Your basic vaporizerThis is your (very) basic hot water vaporizer that works by simply boiling water between two electrodes. The rate of vaporization is controlled by how much of the "old" water you leave in the bottom when you refill it. if it is boiling off the gallon to quickly, keep less old water and add more fresh water. If it is boiling it off tow slowely keep more of the old water in when refilling it. You can't beat the price on the KAZ website. good productI have had my vaporizor for about ten yrs . A very reliable product. Have few problems with steaming over. UNit probably needs cleaning; plus I use tap water which has considerable hardnesss! Would buy this product again! works wellI have been using it a night to help me sleep Ihad been waking up to often with dry and sore throut. since ive started using the vaporizor my sleep has improved and symptons are gone.Releived MommyJust what I needed for my baby to get some rest. Did the job helping my girl breath better so she could get a good nights sleep,and it didnt cost an arm and a leg resonably priced!! No nonsenseI have an older model. I'm sending this link to a friend who needs one because of very dry steam heat in her apartment. I've had so many different brands for my kids and my personal use. The pros about this kind of unit design: fill area is wide so you can get your hands in there to clean it when disenfecting. with other brands/models, the opening is a small circle and you can't really clean the water chamber. No costly filters. One unit i had purchased grossed me out after a week because the filter sat in the water and turned black within days!! No filter with this unit so no problem/fear of putting mold/bateria into the air. Quiet operation. All you hear is a low hiss. Not like some of my expensive fancy ones which bubble or gurgle during operation. Compact for easy out of season storage. Night light and medicine cup are a huge bonus!! Price is incredible!! I'm thinking of getting just to have it, in case one of mine conk out.
goodI always loved the vaporizer as it helps me when I got a headcold and provide moisture in the room so it is easier to breathe at night. NiceDoes what its purported to do at a very economical price. Don't be afraid to purchase this item. Just what I was looking forThis simple, basic warm mist humidifier is just what I was looking for. No bells and whistles, just a nice basic unit. I haven't had it long enough to find any problems. For the price it is great. V105SGN2UPCI have purchased V105SGN2UPC at WAL-MART in the month of June, 2012. It was not functioning properly. So i returned it and purchased another one same day. This worked till last month. Since a week it is making lot of sound but i do not see any vapour coming out. I want to know if there is a service center for getting it rectified. It is winter time and i have a dryness problem with my eye. great productwe use this a lot especially helps when we have stuffy noseVicks VaporizerProduct is average. I didnot find anything great about it. In-fact I have used it only once and I didnot find much diference and ot used since then. Probably the reason behind is the liquid I am using the KAZ inhelant.
Another feedback is the delay in transportation. I have had purchases reaching me in 2 days without paying transportation charges but this one took too much time. 1 Gal Vicks VaporizerTwo times this item was shipped to me from KAZ-VICKS and it was broken. The 1st time one of the "rods" in the Vaporizer housing was cracked; the 2nd time the housing itself was cracked. Finally, nearly 3 weeks later, I received one that worked. The steam output is fair. It puts out a bit of moisture, but not enough to raise the humidity more than 5%. vaporizeri've been using vicks vaporizers all my life (my mother always bought them) and they've always provided plenty of steam (with just a very small amount of salt) and have lasted for years! i 've used other kaz products knowing i'll have years of use from them! Simple Product, Very ReliableIt works constantly, with no problems at all. A+Bought it, works till now, recomend it to people!Good valueThis humidifier is simple to use and inexpensive. It hasn't changed much from the one I had over ten years ago, except for the annoying light. My bedroom feels like a sauna and my cold symptoms are improved. Great valueThis is just like the vaporizer I grew up with. It is simple to use, does the job, and you can't beat the price! My son has bouts of croup in the winter/early spring and this vaporizer has really helped. Dr. PatientThis vaporizer is the best choice to moisturize winter's heated dry air safely.Vicks V105SG Vaporizer with NightlightEverything was perfect, from the product itself to the service. Easy set up, small enough to lift easily, works perfectly. Wonderful value. slight odorThe humidifier works fine, but I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (highly sensitive to chemical fumes) and I found that the vaporizer put out a slight plastic-y smell when running. It shouldn't bother most people, but prevents me from being able to use it. One thing I was wondering when I bought it: would the night light be bright enough to bother me? (I like sleeping in complete darkness) Answer: it's no problem at all. It is just light enough to keep you from tripping over it in the dark, but not bright enough to bother you when sleeping. Personal PreferenceI've had this unit in the past and got several years of use from it. I bought another because I like the warm steam, It does not leave a dusty mess. The water must be rinsed out occasionally to keep it vaporizing at the proper rate, but it's worth it. It takes a small amount of trial and error to balance the mineral content of the water with the amount of table salt added, but I believe it's worth it. I love this unit. I use it in a small to medium size bedroom and it works well. Vicks Vaporizer with NightlightPerforms exactly as advertised. The tank holds enough for 8 hrs continuous use. When the tank is below a certain level, the vaporizer 'turns off' the vaporizing action. The unit, however, stays on and the light still illuminates. The only issue I have with it is a flange that protrudes from the heating core that must fit into a slot in order to get the element out of the tank. I suppose this is a safety issue, but I find it inconvenient to have to twist the entire unit a full 90 degrees in order to remove it just so I can re-fill the tank. If not for this issue, I would rate a 5 star. As epectedSimple, lightweight, works adequately, reasonably priced. I'm not convinced, however, that it fills and entire medium-sized room but not a big concern to me because I keep it near where I sleep. About 1/4 of the water remains at the bottom after the automatic shut off. Maybe its a safety feature otherwise it would run longer on a fill up and that would be preferred. You must remember to add salt, otherwise the steam doesn't come out. I'm satisfied. MS.I really like the vaporizer and got a really good deal online; I do not like the nightlight since you cannot turn it off; also there are large gray gritty particles in the bottom of the bowl each morning. Overall I do recommend it. goodWe have been very happy with the vaporizers. We purchased 2. One of them has developed an issue, the light comes on but nothing is happening. We followed all of the trouble shooting options but it still does not work. We get a great deal of particles from both of them but the one that is not working has something that sounds like a rock rattling around inside. The other one works great. We would buy again but wonder what has happened with this one. ThanksGood Prices, Good ProductsI found the Kaz web site last summer while looking for a replacement bulb for my bug light. I noticed that the vaporizers were priced less than what I would pay at my local discount store. Because, I can get free shipping it is an especially nice deal. I have 2 vaporizers with larger water tanks but the steaming unit is the same so I just use the new unit in the larger water tanks. Works out nicly and I am saving money. (The Replacement bulb worked out well also.) I like Vicks products. junhsien@live.comPros : Pretty useful/handy product. Worth it for its pricing, a must buy for users seeking something affordable and that actually works. Cons : Needs to be refilled every other day, no control over humidity. Neutral points : Noise level adequate - not that silent but not boisterous. Easier to HandleThis product works like a charm and so easier to handle. It makes warm moisture with minimal to none sound pollution. Ideal for small rooms.
Hummidity enhancementYour vaporizor works as expected and rapidily gts humidity into a room. Good simple humidifierI was looking for a simple humidifier to use when I go on trips. This one fit my budget but I wish it comes in smaller size Good productGenerally a good product. Been using these things for years. The only disapointment for me is that it turned out to be smaller than I thought. I ordered offline and assumed it would be the same size as the other units I have... buyer beware right? But it works great... makes steam... there you go. like this uniteasy to use ,quite,works well&quickNice small vaporizerI purchased this small vaporizer because of the ease of use and the amount of water put into the air. I use it at work so it is nice and very quiet compared to others I have used. It uses the water in the container in about 5 hours which is perfect for my use. The price was excellent from KAZ directly. They shipped fast too. My only criticism of the unit is that you cannot turn off the little night light or cover it because it gets hot. For a child's room though this would be perfect. The medicine well is plenty big and the unit in itself is easy to clean and maintain. I would highly recommend this unit. Simple - Does the job.Quiet, easy to use, easy to clean - exactly what we needed. vicks vaporizerQuits working after 3 or 4 uses- must take apart and soak element in vinegar. Design could be betterIf you don't need yet another light at night, you are going to find it hard to kill this one. This is the first thing I have to do to a Kaz product that has a night light and it gets harder all the time. The second thing I have to do is cut off the plastic tab that prevents you from easily pulling out the vaporizer from the tank during refill -- otherwise you will probably burn your hand before you get it out. It would also be nice if a replacement vaporizer was available -- the tank could probably last decades and is difficult to dispose of -- a replacement vaporizer is needed every couple of years.
give me a breakthis item is cheaper than a humidifier filter; you get what you pay for
Not for extensive useWe bought this machine for our newborn to use at night since we live in a very dry area. We needed a humidifier to run for about 8 hours while the baby was sleeping. Not sure if this machine was not to be used as extensively as we needed, but it stopped creating steam after about 3 weeks of nightly use. It also had a massive amount of black water build up every morning. We cleaned it like the manual said and also did a few vinegar cleanings to see if that helped. Not sure if we just had a bad filter system or bad water. Usually very happy with VICKS products=-- been using them for over 25 years. This one just didn't seem to be what we needed. We have contacted the company via e-mail and awaiting a second response.Does the jobI purchased two of these units and they really get the job done. I like the compact shape as I ahve limited open space and still need a unit in every room ofn the house. I have recommended the Kaz sight to my friends because of the superior products and low prices. Top NotchI found this humidifer to be just what I needed. It does not spray excessivly, but just right. The unit turns off when water gets low. Very good, I would buy this again. |
