Our verdict

A compact cool mist humidifier for a baby room or a work surface. The small tank limits it to one small room.

Overview

A parent setting up a baby room or a kid's bedroom gets a small ultrasonic humidifier with adjustable mist output. A 180 degree nozzle sends the cool mist out, and the unit holds Vicks VapoPads.

The reason to buy is the small footprint and the filter free design, which removes replacement wicks from the routine. The limit is room size, so a larger space needs a bigger tank.

Who it's for

Parents and caregivers adding moisture to a small bedroom through cold and flu season can use it overnight. Anyone with a large room or who wants a longer tank runtime beyond a day should look at a larger model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Small enough for a nightstand
  • Filter free operation
  • Adjustable mist output
  • Holds Vicks VapoPads
Cons
  • Small-room coverage only
  • Only one sample VapoPad included
  • Small tank needs frequent refilling

Performance notes

An ultrasonic plate vibrates water into a fine cool mist, so there is no heating element or wick to manage. Mist output is adjustable, and the nozzle swivels to aim the mist. Tank size and the chosen output level govern how long a fill lasts.
