Review: Vicks Vaporizer

We’ve been using this since we received it and I’m loving it. Although it is a little difficult to clean, it’s easy to use, the inhalant works a treat and smells so nice. It also doesn’t get too hot and creates the perfect amount of steam. I feel like it definitely makes kiddos sleep better even when they aren’t particularly sick.

This is such a great product! It’s easy to use, it’s sturdy and prevents kids being able to pull it apart, the inhalant smells amazing and we are yet to be sick while owning it but I’m pretty confident to say it’ll make a huge difference after walking into a room after it’d been on a while. The only negative I have it to say it is tricky to clean because it the shape but other than that it’s a great product.

Amazing to use and a necessity when kids or adults are sick. Love it!!

I have had one of these for years and my neighbour has borrowed it too when she needed it. Easy to use and heats up quick, great for when family have colds or coughs and makes the room smell great too. We mostly use Eucalyptus drops but any other drops like lavender can be used.A fabulouse investment

My Vicks vaporizer is something I rely on every time my daughter gets a chesty cough or cold. It helps her breathing ease and works perfectly every time. I find it very easy to operate and clean in between uses. It’s also an easy way to provide relief without using medication.

I have found that the Vick’s vapouriser works like nothing else on the market it is amazing for all year round and especially for my son who has allergies and chronic asthma it is and has been an absolute life saver and I cannot wait to try any more of the products that are being brought out! highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a humidifier or diffuser!

With all the different diffusers on the market I wasn’t sure how the Vicks Vaporizer was going to be any different, but after trialling it with my little tribe I am more than confident in saying that this iconic brand which I have known and trusted since I was a child, definitely stands out from the crowd! My eldest son and daughter no longer wake with congestion in the morning! Which is something the whole family experiences during the colder weather due to the drying effects of the heater on our home. Unlike with aromatherapy diffusers, the Vicks Vaporizer actually replaces the lost moisture in a room which supports my little one’s airways and as a result helps them to wake with so much more clarity in the morning! Less congestion makes for more alert kids and a much smoother start to their day! I love that it delivers warm steam which is so much safer around young children and prevents anyone from accidental steam scalds. You can definitely feel the difference! The Vicks Vaporizer is a fabulous product that I would recommend to anyone, especially families to have on hand because after using it and seeing the huge difference it’s had on my family in such a short space of time I am confident that if you try it yourself you will definitely notice the difference it makes, even with providing a more restful sleep! If you’re looking for a natural solution to support your family’s respiratory systems, relieving congestion, mucus as well as coughs, cold and flu symptoms- which is also gentle enough for the entire family, then this is it! It’s even suitable for children under 2 years of age! It’s soothing effects last all night and it has an automatic shut off making for one less thing to remember in the morning. Effective, easy to set up and efficient no matter where I place it in the room, it is powerful enough to fill the entire space with the benefits of the wonderful VapoSteam. It really is no wonder that Vicks has won Trusted Brands most trusted Vaporiser/Humidifier Award 2 years in a row! It is an amazing product from a trusted brand! And it’s even backed by a 5 year warranty! Thank you so very much to the MoM Team and Vicks for this awesome experience!

With 3 kids this bad boy has certainly had a work out over the years. We’ve definitely noticed a difference in a sick kids sleep when we use this. Even when I go in to check them it clears my sinus instantly. It’s easy to use and clean. Don’t forget to leave the window or door open a couple of inches to help prevent the condensation build up on the walls.

I bought my Vicks Steam warm Vapourizer when my son was only a few months old. He is almost 18 and I still use when either he or myself have a cold. Money well spent and I think it makes a great gift when someone you know has a baby

This is my go to when my kids are sick and congested. They love it and so do I!

I have used a number of vapourisers over the years and am always frustrated by the inability to open the unit and clean them out. The first one we had you could open the init up but this leaked water all over the counter top and our second unit was dully enclosed and got a lot of grime in it. This unit is by far the best I have used. I am not a massive fan of the scent of the vapouriser liquid but that is more a personal preference. Great quality and a good buy for any mums out there

My youngest boy is the snottiest kid I’ve ever known. For years we battled through like zombies until my MIL bought us one of these. We’ve never looked back. I found it simple to use and very easy to keep clean. I leave it on his tall boy. I’ve gifted one to both my sister and sister in law. Now they are very happy mums also!! I definitely recommend if your little one suffers through winter like my son.

My boy always has stuffy nose during winter. Every night he will wake up try to clear his nose and this always disturb his sleep. The day when I received Vicks Vaporizer I used it immediately in the day and night. His nose is clear all the time and that night he didn't wake up at all. This is a life saving product and I'm so happy I get to review it especially during winter.

I remember when I was a kid, we had a vaporiser and it was hot, I can remember burning myself on it so I was a little skeptical about how I’d like this being around my children but it doesn’t get hot. It gets warm but not hot enough to burn. I really love the smell of the inhalant and I can’t wait to get use of it throughout winter when the kids are sick. No ones sick at the moment and we have it going in one of the bedrooms because it smells divine! I love all the features and it’s super simple to use.

Unfortunetly we werent selected to review the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer and Vicks Double Strength Inhalant to try at home so we purchased it, and love it, my son has asthma so every night I put this on and let the steamer steam all.night, you can actually smell the vicks as it steams and its delightful but best of all it helps with my son not being congested. Thanks vicks

we've been using this for years!! ever since i had little babies with the snuffles to when their Dad caught the flu - this has been an absolute god send for the whole family over the course of so many years, even since my eldest (8) was a bub!

I love having this, especially during the winter months!! It works well on the whole family, including my 4 month old baby. It is super easy to setup and use and lasts for the night to help with breathing, especially when the temperature drops so cold over night! Highly recommend to help with the cold and flu season!

My kids always stuffed up in winter and because they really don't like the rub and I relied on cold and flu syrups but my Bubba couldn't even take the medicines but since I got this vaporizer my lwinter blues have changed for good, the vaposteam coming from vaporizer with that soothing eucalyptus and peppermint smell helps relieving cold and clear the passage without my kids even noticing. I am planning to buy it for my mom also.

Few days so far since we are using it and I am really happy with the performance, it is actually very effective, my husband has mild asthma and both my kids got cold and flu but these last 2 days they are breathing really easy, inhaling the fresh minty an eucalyptus makes the room fresh and warm. It is goodto have a vaporizer as compared to the rub because my kids just run away from that but with vaporizer they don't even notice and inhale the Vick's steam while doing their normal everyday activities. Totally working for my family

My children when they get sick there real sick! The only thing that gets them to sleep is my vicks vapour machine especially when nurofen and things have all failed it seems to settle them the smell puts them to sleep. The refills arnt the cheapest but reasonable at chemist warehouse as it comes a sale a fair bit.

We cannot get through winter without this! We actually own 3 now just in case! They are so robust and even warm up the room on those cold nights!

Handy for the whole family when your wheeze is back use in your bedroom to help with breathing in the vapour with the drops in the water helps me and love the smell. Buy you won’t regret it as handy if your even stuffy at night put on in your room.

We have two at the moment and during the winter months they are used almost daily - or more accurately nightly... They help prevent the younger kids from getting colds etc and if someone in the house does get sick this is the first go to to help clear the sinuses, chest and so forth - whether adult or child... We all love our steam vaporizers and I highly recommend owning at least one for anyone with children...

I really enjoyed the smell that came from the vaporizer, it smelled so good and definitely helped with clearing stuffy noses. I put this on as my daughter was all blocked up and it helped clear her nose and she woke feeling better after having it going all night in her bedroom. It was easy to use however I found trying to empty any excess water out after use a little difficult due to the shape of the base. Maybe a drain plug would be useful.

I love my vaporiser as it leaves the air fresh and a clean atmosphere. I have mine situated in the hallway under the stand and it always delivers a fresh inhalation that clears a blocked nose and opens up ones airways. I have used Vick’s for many years either as a rub or spray so I loved my vaporiser.

My son has asthma and he is sick 5 months out of the year putting this on every night made it so that he breathed easier and got better faster.

We use this vaporizer in our sons bedroom in winter months when ever he catches a cold. Highly recommend it. quiet and good amount of steam to help clear a blocked nose.

I recently bought one of these after reading all of the great reviews. Now I’d like to add to all of the positive reviews as this product has made an amazing difference to my daughter’s quality of sleep. She has been congested recently and since using this she is breathing much easier at night. It’s easy to use and smells amazing!! So glad I invested in one of these very happy!!

I love this Vaporizer. Works wonders when congested. I have also used it for my daughter when she sounded a bit throaty.

We have tried several different brands of vaporizers over the years, and I have had concerns with each of them. However, so far the Vicks Vaporizer has pleasantly surprised me. The pros that I have for it are - 1. The VapoSteam that is used with it is very soft and subtle. It isn’t overpowering, but it is strong enough that it drifted through the room nicely. 2. The steam really is just warm. The reason I say this is because my last two vaporizers poured out hot steam, so much so that I have burnt my hand on them a few times. Not enough to cause an issue, but enough to pull my hand away really quickly. This always concerned me with my kids being in the room with them without supervision. I don’t have that worry with this one - the steam isn’t hot to touch. 3. There was no condensation in the room in the morning. Our last vaporizer left the room a little wet. 4. And finally, the automatic shut off time is quite long, so it can run for the whole night. The cons I found with it are: 1. Personally I found it hard to align the top piece with the water holder. It felt like they didn’t fit properly, but once I managed to get the top in, it fits well and snug. It has gotten easier after a few uses to line it up and insert it, but that was a con. 2. I find it hard to empty all the water out if there’s any left in the bottom piece. The container has a lip to it, which allows the top piece to lock in. However this lip stopped the water from coming out when trying to empty it. Overall, I am very happy with it, and my daughter slept very peacefully with it in her room - not sure if that’s a coincidence, but I’ll keep using it just to be safe! ????

Definitely a must have for sick little ones especially on cold wintery nights.

I have had this product for about 7 years hasn’t missed a beat. When ever the children are sick with a cold we pop this on and use it untill they are better. Helps with their stuffy noses and can sleep a bit easier. It’s easy to use, we pop it on about 15 mins before they go to bed so their rooms are already full of the smell..

What better time to review the Vick’s vaporiser than in the middle of winter when the kids have their usual winter sniffles. This vaporiser has been in high demand and shared between my kids bedrooms (we have 4 little ones). The comforting smell made for a good nights sleep all round. The kids woke with unblocked noses and were well rested . Thank you for the opportunity to trial the Vick’s vaporiser

The vicks vaporizer is a must have when you have little children, especially during winter time when it's cold it helps with their little runny noses and blocked nose, just keep door open and you won't get wet walls and the good thing is us parents can use it too when we have a cold too and it will help with congestion. The only negative thing i will say is it is a little noisy but otherwise great product

Have always been a fan of vicks prodcits all my life. We received the vapouriser from our baby shower and it woks.well in not only helping our little but us too when we we've got a sore throat or blocked nose. The only problem we have with it is it's design, the white bowl base makes it really hard to remove old water and the whole machine itself is quite bulky

My first impressions of the Vick’s Steam Vaporiser was that it was actually quite tricky to insert and lock the heating unit. There must have been some miscalculation in the manufacturing process because it felt like the holes did not align properly and it was a struggle to insert it so that you could turn and lock it into place. Aside from the above, it seems like a good unit and another review of how it works will follow.

These work great during winter to help break up any mucous and chest congestion and only need water and essential oils so is very safe for young children as long as it's kept in a well ventilated room. It has an automatic switch off when the water runs out so you don't have to worry if you want to leave it on during the night. It's a great value appliance that I would recommend to anyone who wants some natural relief for cold and flu symptoms.

Having used the Vick’s warm vaporiser for a couple of weeks now, I am happy with the steam that it produces. It’s not too hot so while a child shouldn’t touch it, in the event that they do they shouldn’t be scalded. The warm steam combined with the inhalant provides a more restful night for my son when he’s congested. The only suggestion I would have is to redesign the plastic reservoir that holds the water. I found it a bit tricky to align the heating unit with the plastic notches and click it into place. It’s also hard to empty the last bits of water that is left after the unit switches off. Because of the shape, you have to shake the reservoir to get the water out. Other than those two points above, it does a great job of easing my child’s cold and would still recommend it as a useful tool during winter.

We fired up the Vick’s Vaporiser for the first time last night & my little man slept soundly through the night . He’s been blocked up with a head cold and this product really did the trick. The only tricky part was putting the vaporiser back together after id filled it with water but I just need some more practice.

Although the vicks steam Vaporizer works absolutely amazing, and I have been using it for years, it also has a downfall as it is hard to empty and clean properly as it is oddly shaped. If this design shape was changed And was easier to empty I would of definitely given 5 stars.

Helps keep the air moist to help a cough and also great when adding in some eucalyptus oil to help unblock and keep the nasal passages clear. I bought this when my son was a baby and was sick for the first time. I love using myself when I am sick. Great product. I would recommend this to everyone.

I have used this Vicks Steam Warm Vaporizer for myself prior to my son and I found it great for the bedroom when in winter, feeling blocked or just want the air to smell fresh. I now use it for my son and I find it great in the bedroom for him sleeping as he does have allergies and it helps to clear the air for him and sleep better without so much suffering of the stuffy nose. Would recommend this product, even without any Vicks additive, just water.

Though the product does the job and effeactive the issue that I have is the cleaning of it! It's not super easy to get in all the little knooks and crannies! But the actual vaporizer function works great and for that reason when my children were little it was a great addition to their rooms. Just be cautious as it can void warranties if you use any other products in it.

It’s perfect for a kids room and turns off on its own but I didn’t find it to be lasting long enough.

The Vick’s Vaporiser has been super handy this week. We fired it up for the first time and my little man slept soundly through the night. He’s had a head cold but this really did the trick. The only negative I have was having trouble putting the vaporiser back together after filling it with water, but it’s just a matter of practice

We got this when my little one had croup. It certainly steamed up the room effectively, though we’d been recommended it by the doctor for the warm air rather than steam, and the oil helped keep things clear for him. However it sounded like a kettle constantly on the boil and when it’s 2am and there are no other sounds that’s quite noisy and my little one kept waking so eventually we turned it off.

I was really disappointed with this product. Our old vapouriser died so we changed models and replaced it with this one. It is very loud and while it provides a lot of steam which is great, there is so much that our walls and windows were dripping with water from one night of use. It’s also incredibly hard to empty all of the water out of it. You have to shake it and shake it or water still says inside because of the strange shape of it. The lid is also really tricky to secure. I think we’ll keep this as a backup and stick with our Euky Bear one
