Waste of money! Rubbish

published

Bought this vaporiser over a month ago and it has already short circuited and does not work. Spent $60 plus $10 for the vapour steam and cant even get a replacement or refund because I do not have the proof of purchase (receipt) anymore, even though I have my warranty! Was the only thing helping me sleep with congestion and now there goes my hard working money down the drain! Should have studied reviews before purchasing as this is a common occurrence with Vicks products. Bloody terrible and will never purchase any Vicks items again! So disappointed and frustrated!

Purchased in August 2021 for A$60.00.

Vicks Steam Vaporizer- Stay Away from this Product

published

Product Review:Initially all went well for 3 Nights and then started tripping power.

Cutomer Serivce:The Customer Support Team also doesnt get back to you when you send an email with proof of Purchase asking for refund. Horrible Service and Product.

Poorly designed!!

published

There was no consumer thought process put into this product.

I shake, shake, shake and I still can't get all the water out from the bottom, therefore it's never 100% clean.

Worked great for a few months....then started tripping the power. Would not work on any power point. Something I don't want to deal with at 3am while the baby is sick.

Purchased in February 2021 at Chemist Warehouse.

Was great, but can’t use as it trips my power :(

published

First time I’ve ever used one so went for the trusty Vick’s, loved it but have only used max 10 x and now he shorts my power. Which is really frustrating as I have a very congested 5 month baby girl who has not been able to sleep and this mumma needs sleep too and it was the only thing that helped and now it’s broken !

Amazing

published

I’ve been using this the last couple of winters, since my son was a baby and it’s amazing, perfect for young ones, easy and soothing to medicate children when they are seeing, it’s a life saver, so quiet, fast working, long lasting. I am very surprised at the bad reviews maybe they got the old model

Best purchase I’ve made!

published

After my baby spending nights awake from coughing and not being able to breathe I purchased one of these vaporizers and I am so glad that I did! No more sleepless nights when my little one is sick. It’s so quiet, sometimes I have to check if it is even on, not sure how some reviews say it sounds like a boiling kettle (which made me weary about buying it) because it doesn’t. Seriously a life saver!

Purchased in August 2021 at Pharmacy 4 Less for A$65.00.

Tripping power

published

Instead of investigating and apologising, recall it or fix it. Used 10 times now over 2 winters now it’s tripping power. Common problem do something about it! Not good enough.

Excellent vapouriser for baby

Bought this for my baby when he had a bad cough and would wake during the night. Worked fantastic and he slept through the night with it. Long run time for 12-14 hours. Highly recommend

So disappointed

published

I bought one last year and used in a handful of times when my kids were unwell, it started tripping the power.
Went and bought a new one, used it 4 times and it now trips the power, within minutes of being turned on.

Faulty

Absolutely annoyed at this product, has been working great for our baby since we bought it 3-4 months ago but tonight it has failed, keeps tripping out the power in the house. We don’t have the receipt so I am guessing it’s money down the drain.

Do not buy

I purchase this product from Pharmacy4less at Ashfield, NSW. I had the impression that this product can be used at night, I tested it with water only to find out that the noise level on this product is unbearable. Pharmecy4less team decide that I cannot get a refund, as the product is not faulty. Yes it is not faulty, but this is miss leading by selling a product for night use with this high level of noise.

Okay - I'll see what I can do to follow this up for you, Yousef. If we can just get your receipt and product back here somehow, I'm sure we can exchange. We actually sell Euky Bear too.

Disappointed

published

Bought the Vicks Vaporizer as it was the only one at the chemist I visited. Had a different brand previously, and when comparing this one, found it's design to be worse. It has no on/off switch, so have to use switch at wall. The top is awkward to remove from tank. The tank is wide and awkward. It does not have a flat bottom to the tank., so when filling, it is difficult to balance between sink ledge. When the top is removed, you need something to put it on or it will drip water. Noise level OK. Night light tiny - not really a feature.

Purchased in August 2021 at Priceline for A$50.00.

Questions & Answers

Jenelle

Jenelleasked

We have the door open wide, well ventilated room and used it for 3 nights in a row, to find the oil is dripping down from the top of the wall that the vaporiser is against. It is on a table about 15 cm away from the wall. The oil drips go for at least a meter wide. We are now afraid to use it as it may damage the walls.
Any solutions?

Hello, I bought the warm steam vaporizer and have used it one night.
Firstly, I filled it to the max line but the unit switched off after about 6-7 hours, on the box it says 12 - 14 hours, that's only half the time.
Second question, I read its best to use Demineralised water as we shouldn't inhale misted tap water. Which water is best. Thanks.

Hello Anna. Do you mean the unit ran out of water after 6-7 hours? Or did it just switch off, with water still in it? Either way that shouldn't happen. Can you please get in touch with our Customer Service team who will advise on next steps? [email protected]. You can use tap water in the unit, that's fine - it's certainly not a health hazard, however the minerals can erode your machine over time (hence the regular cleaning required in the manual), so if you don't mind the extra cost of using demineralised water it could keep your vaporizer in better condition for longer.

So I've had my Vicks vaporizer for about a month and I've been running it about every other night. I noticed when it's running the reservoir holding the water gets very hot. Is that okay? I mean I know it's a vaporizer but still I didn't know the water was supposed to get that hot LOL
