Kaz Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier V420 & V425 Review

My husband and I recently moved from Texas to Pennsylvania in the middle of winter.  The dry air immediatly dried our skin and sinus.  When we went shopping for a cool mist humidifier, it wasn't the first time.  We each suffer from seasonal alergies.  Our doctor suggested a cool mist humidifier for our two year old son, and my husband uses a humidifier nightly on his sleep apnea machine.

We decided we needed a new cool mist humidifier because our previous machines either had problems with flaking at the water source or mold growth (don't store them under the sink).  We agreed on a few things, it had to fill up without removing the tank and it had to be budget friendly.  We looked in every local store we could, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Sears, and the other mall stores.  It was a nightmare.  Every time we picked up a cool mist humidifier, they all required the tank be filled from the "bottom".  Meaning we would have to remove the tank and then fill it up, replace some stopper and place it back into the base.  Yikes!

Then we went to K-Mart and found the Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier by Kaz.  It had a spout at the front on the humidifier, meaning no more tank to fill.  It even had the water containment tank at the base so you could remove the mechanics and use the larger opening to fill it.

What a life saver.  The humidifier on my husband's sleep apnea machine doesn't run empty overnight, and our skin is slowly getting better.  No more nasal congestion or loss of voice either!

This is just what we were looking for.  If only the base held more water!
