When cold and flu season strikes, it’s
time to take this cool mist humidifier out of the closet. The
humidifier provides healthful vapor that can help relieve the
dehydrating symptoms brought on by colds and the flu, helping
nasal passages breathe easily again and easing the irritation of
coughs and sore throats. It offers a wonderful alternative
therapy for children, those who prefer not to take
over-the-counter medications, and those who can’t take
decongestants due to pregnancy or incompatibility with other
medications. This low-noise humidifier also takes preventative
measures against colds by putting enough humidity in the air to
combat the dryness caused by many heating systems. The humidity
moistens the respiratory system and helps it to actually fight
off viruses, bacteria, and pollutants.
The translucent water tank is easy to fill and monitor and
outputs about 1.2 gallons of moist air into the room--enough for
18 hours of continuous use on one filling. Impurities or
minerals in the water are trapped in an antibacterial wicking
filter so vapor is pure and is emitted without any white dust.
When the tank is empty, it totally drains without leaving any
potentially bacteria-laden standing water in the bottom. Two
settings high and low--let you adjust the humidity level to the
appropriate room size or moisture level and Vicks’s special
"evaporative technology" also kicks in to ensure that rooms
maintain the proper moisture level and are not overly humid.
This humidifier has a dishwasher-safe tray for hygienic cleaning
The unit is used, but clean and includes a new Kaz Protec filter. It will ship in its original box and the manual is included.
