My daughter has some seasonal allergies. Once that tickle and congestion sets in, the cough starts up and it seems like it never goes away. Nighttime is the worst, when it interferes with her sleep — and mine because I wake up when I hear her and worry about her. When that starts happening, a humidifier definitely helps her breathe and sleep better.
The problem with our old humidifier is the way the water tank worked, it was hard to empty all the water out. I’ve stood it on its side in the sink, shook it side to side and still a little water would remain, which didn’t seem sanitary when I wanted to refill it. What was I spewing into the air along with the steam?
This Vicks Filter Free Cool Mist humidifier has a large tank that is easy to fill and empty. You can also control the amount of mist that comes out from not much at all to a nice heavy mist with an easy twist of a knob.
Other features include:
Soothing Vapors
- Integrated Dual Scent Pad Heater allows you to increase soothing scent intensity by use of 2 scent pads
Low Maintenance Design
- No Filters Required to Operate
- Quiet Operation
- Large tank opening for easy access for cleaning
- Translucent 1.2 Gallon Tank allows for quick and easy monitoring of water level
Easy to Use
- Variable Humidity Control for customized output
- Auto Shut Off when Empty
- Runs up to 30 hrs per filling
- Perfect for medium size rooms
I love this humidifier! Is it bad that I’m hoping for someone in my house to get that icky winter cough and congestion so I can try it out for real?
