We had only ran the humidifier twice. It soaked our dresser and ruined the wood. Since we purchased it thru Amazon, it was a third party transaction and could not return or exchange it.

Purchased two in one day both cracked a leaked water. Only about 17 hours old. My chest drawers are ruined as well floor. And other important documents. I will never buy another vicks humidifier.

My 5mth old had a runny nose during the day and blocked nose at night while trying to sleep. As he's too young for vapour rub, i wanted to invest in a vapourizer. My MIL grabbed this box because it was prettier and more expensive than the others (stupid, i know) not realising that it was a COOL mist humidifier. It made our house sooooo cold and when you have an infant, or anyone for that matter, with cold symptoms, a cold house is the last thing you want. We used it for a few hrs and that was it. When all the lights are off it doubles as a cool night light with cute starry lighting

I have a 4 month old who is contested at night. I was excited to bring the Vick’s Starry Night Home. I had visions of a night of starry, peaceful sleep ahead for my little one. It was a disappointing nightmare. I followed the directions only to be left with a soaking wet bench. The water had leaked through a small hole in the bottom. Some how thinking I over filled the water I put less in with the same result. I wish I had read the reviews, I threw it out. I don’t know how it is still on the market. Don’t waste your money.

I’ve read to not move the humidifier because doing so will make it leak. I’ve set it where I want it to go and still it leaks from the bottom hole. This makes me nervous being close to the electrical outlets and what not. Doesn’t give me a piece of mind especially being a baby product!

I wish i had read these reciews before purchasing. My 9 week old has croop so i purchased this product. Followed the instructions exactly.... my bedroom floor flooded with all the water out of the tank as soon as i attached it. There is some stupid hole in the base that the water comes out of once the tray is full of water. I tried it again in the bathroom thinking i was doing something wrong then flooded my bathroom vanity. This product is the worst $90 i have ever spent. I was trying to give my baby some relief but ended up more stressed. Do not buy this product. Its going back today.

I purchased this humidifier a month ago and I don’t think it works to what the expectations of the product should. When used on the low night ‘quiet’ setting all I can feel is cold air coming out of vent, my son has a cold and this actually makes the room more cold then then weather we have to turn the humidifier off. We can’t smell any Vick’s vapour in the room. Am I doing something wrong!!

I Loved this humidifier, just need to be set in a room when it’s empty, then fill it with water it covers a large area with cool mist fresh air.

New and going in the trash can. I gave it one star only because I had to! The engineer who came up with this model should be fired and Vicks Company should discontinue making this model! Water leaks if the unit is ever moved!

Did not move, it was on a flat surface, but it still started leaking everywhere. My phone was on the same table and now it's ruined as well! I'm so upset. I just had a baby. I can't afford a new humidifier...let alone phone. Who is going to pay for that?

DO NOT BUY!!!!

Just got this humidifier today.
I just put my baby to bed, then got to work on setting up the humidifier. I went to the bathroom to set it up then picked it up to move it near her crib, and noticed it pouring water on my floor. My old humidifier never did this when I picked it up to move it.
I noticed it had a manufactured hole in the bottom.
I read the reviews on here and notice that a lot of people with similar issues were placing it on a shelf.
This is probably why there were puddles in the a.m.
Anyways I dried it out filled the tank. There is no leak.
So heads up place the base where you want it first.

I am Extremely disappointed with this product that Vicks has! After following all the instructions to make sure i was using it properly, I noticed the unit started leaking all over the place from the little hole at the back. Very badly designed. Very disappointed with Vicks and will not reccomend anyone purchase this particular product

I put this on top shelf of my bed for my daughter. I thought I heard a drip of water but I thought I was crazy. Woke up this morning and the whole area she lays is soaking wet from leaking from the bottom. Also got my alarm clock soaked.

On our 2nd one because first one leaked every where. This one is doing the same thing. Water pours out the back and out a hole that is in the bottom. We have followed every direction.
I will not recommend purchase of this unit. I will go with a different one.

The first tank leaked because of a faulty seal. No big deal. After calling customer service, I returned for a second. The second leaked through the hole at the bottom. Called customer service again, then returned for a third. The third leaked through the hole at the bottom.

The above user is correct that 'leak' is not a correct term. It soaks and damages everything beside, beneath and around it for like a 2 foot radius because it acts as a faucet emptying the entire one gallon of water.

Guess what? I can't call customer service, again, because they're closed..

I’ve had this humidifier for 3months and it’s leaking water everywhere! Should this happen when it never gets moved and is on a flat surface!! I would like to know what’s the next steps please and thank you. Has anyone else experienced this? My son loves this. This is my 3rd humidifier I need a good one.

1st time using the humifier and followed all the instructions and it’s poured water through the hole in the bottom all over the floor, completed flooded our bedroom floor which is not ideal when you already have a sick baby you’re trying to settle. I re read all the instructions and I had followed everything perfectly so I have no idea why his machine keeps pouring water out, very disappointed I thought buying Vic’s meant it would be good quality. To make matters worse while trying to stop the flood of water the tank slipped out of my hands and dropped on the floor and the handle smashed off it.
Complete disaster

A great product that has helped the whole family during fly season. To be picky the operation lights are bright, the red colour in the cycle goes dark then what seems super bright again and can be a bit noisy on the night setting but it does a fab job. Never had leaking once.

I Bought it because thinking it good brand and make not too dry around the room when my baby sleep. Unfortunately water leaking everywhere when I put water in. It is very bad design and poor quality. I feeling very disappointed with Vicks product. I am not recommend it. It have big problem for use.
