Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier, #V3500-N, 1.2 Gallon - 1 Ea
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.
Customer Review: wakes baby up
Summary: 3 Stars
this is a good humidifier but if you're buying this for a nursery, beware. when the water level starts to drop a little, bubbles come up from the bottom widget causing a fairly loud glug, glug, glug sound...up to 5 glugs. this is disappointing since it's otherwise a good product, but if you have a baby who is a light sleeper it can wake them up every time it glugs. mine no longer wakes up to it, but she does get startled when she's about to drift off to sleep, making that process lengthier and more frustrating than it needs to be.Customer Review: Great White Noise Machine
Summary: 3 Stars
This machine isn't the best as a humidifier, as the filter is a big problem to keep clean. However, I use them as a great white noise machine. It is one of the better ones I have tried and they last a VERY long time. I have had one as long as 8 years now. So, if you need help to keep noise down...this is for you.Customer Review: gurgle gurgle

i've had this humidifier for about 4 years. it does what it's supposed to as far as bringing some moisture to the room, but the intermittent, very LOUD gurgling is so annoying in the middle of the night. after a week or so i've gotten used to it every season, but this year i've had enough. i bought my baby one of the little elephant humidifiers by Crane and it is amazingly silent! i'm going to get an adult version and finally retire the loud gurgler.Customer Review: GLUG GLUG GLUG
Summary: 2 Stars
Nice humidifier, UNTIL you need to keep your baby asleep while the thing makes this absolutely ridiculous glugging noise throughout the night (even on the low setting!!) -- woke our baby up, woke us up, 7AM I'm putting this thing back into its box (which was already in the recycle bin) and back to the store. Bought one of the Crane humidifiers (the frog) and it works beautifully and most importantly - SILENTLY.
