Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier, #V3500-N, 1.2 Gallon - 1 Ea
Customer Review: It leaks!
Summary: 1 Stars
From day one it leaked. The tray that the water falls into to saturate the wicking filter overflows within 5-10 minutes. Tried the troubleshooting and even called customer care, who advised me to return it within the retail store's return period. Took it back to the store and they told me I could not return something that was already used. I was out $50. Many of the reviews on here state that it leaks, do yourself a favor and just don't buy it. Then you don't have to worry about trying to return it and having to deal with the same hassle I did.Customer Review: LEAKS WATER ON FLOOR
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this 6 hours ago and am packing it up to take it back to the store. I came in after turning on for 3 hours and my carpet was soaking wet. I tried one more time, this time fortunately I put a cooking pan underneath to catch any water. Once again, it leaked water everywhere. I read instructions again and I have done everything right. DO NOT BUY.Customer Review: Much Better "Vicks Cool Mist" Then the Oroginals
Summary: 5 Stars
This humidifier is fantastic! The low speed is super quiet; on high speed it is quick to bring up the percentage of humidity in the room; it is very easy to clean and refill; it is very nice looking; and I especially like the large green light that indicates that it is on. I keep a small 6 inch clip-fan near it to ensure that a large volume of air reaches its air intake, and to help dissipate the humid air out of the discharge. I recommend to clean the water container, the inside of the base tray, and the filter at least every other refill. That way no slim or mineral deposits will inhibit its use, plus no harmful bacteria will breed inside the unit.Customer Review: No humidy humidifier

We're constantly using this machine for the noise it makes. It doesn't humidify well. I can't feel it ever. It is noisy and acts well as a sound machine in the baby room. The filter gets very yucky, too. You'll need to replace it all the time.Customer Review: Ok for small rooms, very quiet
Summary: 3 Stars
This humidifier is a decent one of you are using it in a small, closed room, because you can only put the fan speed on its "low" setting. I have found that if I change the setting to "high", the wicker filter doesn't stay wet and ends up burning towards the top. No, there aren't flames, but the filter becomes dark brown and very hard in the burnt areas, and eliminates its ability to wick the water.
For me, if I ran it on the "low" setting in my bedroom, the filter lasted about two months before it started to fall apart. The only humidifier I have tried that is quieter than this one is the Vick's Ultrasonic. Yes, this unit does make the dreaded "glug glug" sound when it brings in more water from the tank, but it's not that bad. It lasts about three seconds and it isn't very loud at all. If you are a very light sleeper it may wake you, but you would have to be such a light sleeper that rain or your furnace kicking on would wake you up.
