Vicks Top Fill Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier - Easy to use - Year Round Home Use in Living Rooms, Bedrooms, Baby Nursery - Up to 24h for 35m2 - Quiet - Essential Oil - VapoPads Included - VUL585

Bought it for the winter months. The room is stuffy with heater and this humidifier releases cool mist with mint scent. The mist is quite strong as well.Perfect for block nose.No noise at all. Easy to use although the button is a bit rigid.

The media could not be loaded. This is a large humidifier that has superior an adjustatble output. It requires some setting up and although it's all in the instructions, these are not that easy to follow at first glance and I think that Vicks should revisit these. Once assembled (it's easier than the instructions lead you to think) the humidifier is ready for use.To use it, open the top - or take the top part to the tap and fill. It takes a huge amount of water around two litres to fill it up, connect the power and turn the knob to your required intensity. Unlike the myriad of cheap humidifers out there, this has a much large ultrasonic unit and at full blast gives off a lot of vapour.One area - or maybe two that it differs radically from all the others I've tried is using it with essential oils. Every other device I've used, you add these to the water; but Vicks tell you repeatedly not to, and will invalidate any warranty if it's used with these oils. Instead there's a recepticle that you can use which just heats them or you can use Vicks scented pads with a RRP of around eight pounds. These fit in the side - you can see this in the photos and the quick video I shot. The other area where it differs is that it tells you after three days to clean it and there are further weekly and monthly cleaning instructions in the documentation.It's a nice unit but big. Not being able to use essential oils, and relying on Vicks limited range of pads is something that looses it a star for me. I can see us using it however, for the cooling effect in the summer. If it's an high output humidifier you want this would be a good choice.

Excellent very ease to use.

It does the job, and has definitely helped my chest at night, it's unfortunately though just so hard to clean!!! There's so many hard to get places and I've ended up breaking little bits off because I'm trying to clean them. Some bits I can't get to properly. Other than that though it does work great, it's just the cleaning I find a nightmare.

Overall it is a nice product, my only complaint is that the scent of the inserted Vapopad is somewhat not noticeable

Again as another review has stated every time I put this on within hours my LO bed and floor are soaked !!! Only used it 2 times and both times this has happened

Over rated

I don't have the strongest of chests and often succumb quite easily to coughs and phlegm lingering in my lungs. As such I was looking for a better inhaler/humidifier to allow me to get some steam and warm air into my lungs to help fix things quicker.The first thing about this unit is it is a big one. A really good size tank so it can be on for an extended length of time. Combine that with the really smart dial that reduces or increases the mist volume and it's a good piece of kit. The direction of the mist can also be altered easily and that is also a plus point.The unit allows you to add either Vicks own pads via an easy to access side drawer, or you can use essential oils of your own via a panel on top. Either are very easy to use and I have a collection of oils I like so I will continue using those. The unit disperses the oil in the mist and it's really nice to relax and do some breathing exercises with.The cost is a little high but on offer I would definitely consider it an excellent purchase. Overall I would recommend as a great unit for those who need some help with chest or nasal congestion.
