Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell Vicks V4202 1.2-Gallon Cool-Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: Nice humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this a few months ago to help with our baby's stuffy nose. It works like a charm and even cools down the room. We love ours!Customer Review: No Complaints
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using this product and have had no problems whatsoever with it. It is extremely easy to refill (you can pour water in from a pitcher without even removing the top) and it was smartly built to 'catch' any water that accumulates on the vent. It definitely puts out mist - we put a hydrometer in our daughter's room and the humidity level went up over 10%, and it is really, really dry here right now. I recently had a cold and slept near it and it made a huge difference. For people that complain about the mineral build-up: if you read your manual you would see that they warn you that might happen if you have hard water. As for mildew, take the lid off and let it dry up good before you pack it away. No different than bath toys, etc.Customer Review: Ok, not great

The water gets really dirty, and it is loud. Wouldn't really recommend it.Customer Review: Pick a different one
Summary: 2 Stars
I registered for this and was happy to receive it at my work shower. Until I used it. It is pretty loud, makes the water dirty, the unit itself gets dirty very fast in a forced air heat household (and who's isn't?) and its virtually impossible to clean those little spike thingys on the blower part. The creases on the resevoir get very dirty; the only thing I could stick in there under a paper towel to clean them was my Tupperware orange peeler. My husband noticed that when we first used it, it would blow out the water hardened into some kind of white dust everywhere - I mean clear across our dgtrs room against her bedroom door. I don't wonder if it was some sort of chemical reaction to our hard-er water. Once we started using filtered water, we didn't have that buildup. It is not designed to accept that Vicks vapomist stuff which I found disappointing - winter in the Chicago area w/o it? Plus I have had A LOT A LOT A LOT of trouble finding the replacement filters - grocery stores, Target, other discount chains, nothing. I finally found some at a drug store and was ready to buy them out, but decided to invest in a different model next winter.Customer Review: Quieter Than Others I Tried
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
