Digital camera reviews of Honeywell #V5100N Ultrasonic Humidifier
Digital camera Review: Not as good as I had hoped!
Summary: 2 Stars
The unit stopped working after three days. I spent a long time on the phone waiting for KAZ customer service and they just told me to return it to where I purchased it from. The unit was also louder (especially when the water tank was low), than my Douglas ultrasonic humidifier (that still works after about 10 years). I use Reverse Osmosis water in the humidifier, so the white mineral dust is not a problem for me. I will try the Venta Sonic next. Digital camera Review: WHITE DUST
Summary: 1 Stars
WE THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT UNTIL WE STARTED NOTICING WHITE DUST ON EVERYTHING. WE CHANGED THE FILTER, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP, AND WE'VE BEEN USING SOFT DISTILLED WATER. WE'VE GOT TO GET A DIFFERENT ONE! I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS HUMIDIFIER UNLESS YOU WANT TO DUST OFF WHITE DUST OFF EVERYTHING EVERYDAY - NO FUN.Digital camera Review: Works well, low hassle maintenance
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this humidifier for more than a year now, and have been very happy with it. It's very quiet for the baby's room, and I haven't had a problem with the white dust, although it's not on 24-7.
Advice: be sure to empty and refill the tank and base daily if possible to keep the filter in good shape. And don't leave the water standing in it while you're on vacation- it's nearly impossible to hand scrub the tank- had to buy a flexible bottle brush for that one, lol.
I recently needed to replace the water tank (I dropped it and cracked it slightly). I was a little disappointed that they don't offer replacement parts for it. I'll search for a used one so I can keep using it. I am able to find filters for it pretty easily at the place of purchase- Meijer (a Michigan chain).
If I can't find a replacement tank, I will probably by a new one just like it.
Digital camera Review: Great Product --- Great Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I sent an email to Vicks about the coupons that I found in the humidifier I bought for my dd. I was excited when I found coupons in the box, but less than excited to see that they expired a month before the baby was born!
So after emailing Vicks, they told me that another company called Kaz actually produced it for them and I needed to contact them directly about getting replacement coupons.
Well, needless to say just a couple weeks went by and amazingly, there were coupons for Vicks products in my mailbox! :D
By the way, I LOVE the Vicks Ultrasonic (Cool Mist) Humidifier, Model V5100N!!!!!! I had the Evenflo (hot) Humidifier and it did not put out near as much steam and was a burn risk to boot!!!
Digital camera Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great humidifier. It instantly puts out a fine mist and doesn't make the carpet all wet. Spend the extra $10, it is worth it.
