Our verdict

A corded warm steam vaporizer for bedrooms, with a large tank, automatic shut-off and a night light. The runtime field says three minutes, which looks wrong, and the symptom relief wording is the maker's claim.

Overview

A bedroom during cold and flu season is the setting for this Vicks warm steam vaporizer, which adds warm moisture to dry indoor air and carries a night light. It is a plastic unit in white.

Warm steam, a night light and slots for Vicks scent pads and inhalant make it a bedside unit built around cold and flu season. The spec table has odd entries, including the runtime and an ultraviolet filter type, and the inhalant is sold separately.

Who it's for

A household dealing with dry winter air that wants warm steam beside the bed. Those who prefer cool mist, or want proven run time per tank, should check other humidifiers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Vicks V150SG a cool mist humidifier?

No. The operation mode is vaporizer, and the listing describes warm steam.

Will the Vicks V150SG treat a cold or cough?

The listing says it helps temporarily relieve cough and congestion symptoms. It is not medication, and the medicine cup uses an inhalant that is sold separately.

Does the Vicks V150SG really run for only 3 minutes?

The runtime field says 3 minutes, but the tank holds 1.5 gallons and the unit shuts off when empty. The field looks like an error.
