I use this vaporizer in my kids' room when they have a cold or flu by adding the Vicks/Kaz medicine. It takes a long time to release steam and smell the medicine. It also does not go through the water very quickly. I can leave it on constantly for days and the water level will not drop very much. I tried adding salt but it makes little difference, without adding too much. I used to have the larger 1.5 gallon version and it warmed up faster, used up the water quicker, and created a stronger menthol smell (when adding the medicine). I do not think it is a problem with the brand, perhaps just the particular model or even the particular machine. Maybe it is meant to work on a low setting because it is advertised as being used in the nursery--near the baby? I need a second vaporizer to use in my room and I'm really not sure if I want to give this model a second chance or buy the bigger one again.

I'm not sure what is going on. This is the second Vick's steamer I bought this weekend. Neither one of them seemed to work. The first one's light came on when I plugged it in but the water stayed cold and it never did anything. So I took that one back. The second one, which I have now, is plugged in and the water in it has warmed up after being plugged in for over 12 hours, but it also is not doing anything. I don't know what is going on...Aren't these vaporizers supposed to create steam?
The water level has not changed. I have even tried adding salt.
Can anyone tell me why 2 of these have not worked for me?

This Vicks Nursery Vaporizer is easy to use, and it is safe because it is automatically shut down the heat when there is not enough water. But you have to add a little salt to generate vapor, and you need to control the amount of salt because if you add too much, it will vaperize too quickly and the boiled water will generate noise. The inside black heater often makes the water quite dirty. But as long as you can get along with it and clean it once a week as manufactory suggestion, it is a good vaporizer.

I didn't want to deal with the hassle of humidifiers & filters so I purchased this low priced vaporizer. It worked great in the bedroom for about 3 months, after that it just didn't steam much.

It works quite well and keeps the air moist. It also makes very little noise. However, I ended up replacing it with a more expensive($49) model. Here are some of the features I would have liked.
1. There is no easy way to tell how much water is left, short of popping the top off. More expensive models let you see how much water is left. This was the most annoying feature for me.
2. To replace the water, you have to take the top off, set it to the side, and carry the bottom part to a water source. More expensive models let you detach a water holder and fill that.
3. On switch is on the cord. It just makes me nervous handling water and reaching for the power cord.
However, it does do the job! If you want more features, get a more expensive model. If not, this is a great device for the price.
