I'm on my second winter with this humidifier and find it in many ways superior to others we have owned in our 43 years together, living in many different parts of the country.

Yes, you can clean it and store it dry offseason; the last one before this I never could get totally dry.

Yes, it's a nuisance having to plug it in and unplug it, and pay attention to the reservoir level when out of the room.

My biggest problem is that I've been looking for a supply of replacement filters, and I'm too sick to go shopping in stores and trying to tell others what I want...

So here I am online looking for replacement filters. What a drag!

I bought this model after trying 2 others that were just too loud. This model is pretty quiet, there is a hum but I think my daughter likes the white noise of it. I use filtered or distilled water to cut down on build-up inside the unit. Any humidifier is going to have to be cleaned regularly. Vicks makes several different Cool Mist humidifiers so be careful which one you get because the others I tried were also Vicks and were really loud.

The water gets really dirty, and it is loud. Wouldn't really recommend it.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Vicks V4202 1.2-Gallon Cool-Mist Humidifier

We bought this humidifier as the low-cost alternative when our kids were sick this week. It's horrible! We're returning it today! When this unit is running, it leaks water between the reservoir and motor units. Overnight it leaked enough water to completely saturate a folded up large bath towel I placed under it! Two days later & the towel is still wet! Additionally, the unit is noisy, spits out water droplets with the mist, and is very difficult to clean (oddly shaped water reservoir makes it impossible to completely empty the unit). If you need a humidifier, buy a different product!

I was so excited about this product. I love simple appliances and this one fit the bill. However the filters were impossible to find and the whole thing stopped working after a month of use! Don't buy this product. Spend the extra money and get a better humidifier!
