 LOTS OF WORK!, 2008-09-03
I must say, at first I was very pleased with the product- quiet, looks nice, works well in the baby's room -- but after about 2 weeks it stopped working! Apparently it needs to be taken apart and cleaned daily!And even if you clean it daily, there is also weekly cleaning instructions and instructions for when you are going to leave it unused for a few days. The build up on the heating element is insane if you don't clean it as the directions instruct. It's a nice machine, but a lot of work!

 Hate this humidifier, 2008-08-08
I've had this humidifier for about 2 months. It shuts off in an hour and has to be reset. REALLY annoying.
The mist is strong, I do like that feature.

 The fun one, 2008-07-10
I love it. I wake up happy now. I live in Hawaii. But I got allergies. This keeps me waking up with a smile. I pour vinegar in it once a week. Clears all that gum out, takes 10 minutes how lazy can you be. No bacteria cause the thing boils the water. Seriously, a great humidifier, works in the bedroom overnight. Keeps you healthy if you need a bit more water in the air. Simple, easy design. ALOHA!

Great warm mist humidifer for small/medium rooms, 2008-04-09
First of all, the Vicks 745A is a warm mist humidifier, so it won't expose you to more germs like a cool mist humidifier will and you can use regular tap water.
I've had a big Bionaire warm mist humidifier for over 10 years, and it still works. It takes about 15 minutes to clean the scale, but I would have purchased another one. My child has claimed it, and so when I got pneumonia it was time to make my purchase.
The Vicks 745A is great. Yes, it doesn't hold much water, but a tankful will last for 10 hours on high and generates a lot of humidity (as much as my Bionaire). Unless in the depth of winter, I turn it on high for an hour or two before I go to bed, and then turn it on low for the night. On low, it will run for a day. Of course, it has an automatic shutoff.
I read the reviews about the noise and the cleaning problems, but those folks must not have had a warm mist humidifier before. The water is actually being boiled continuously, and the tank refills periodically. You will hear it, mostly white noise. The Vicks 745A is much quieter than my bigger/aged Bionaire, and it comes apart and cleans with ease. So once a week, you can literally rinse the scale away from the burner area and the steam funnel.
It also has handles on both ends of the tank for easy carrying and takes much less space on the nightstand than older models. It's a BUY!

 not for medium-large room, 2008-02-28
Bought this yesterday at Target after spending too much time trying to figure out which of the 10 units (warm mist, cool mist, vaporizer..etc)was right for me. My daughters' room is 11x18, which I consider a medium-large size bedroom. Decided on warm mist since where we live in the bay area it's usually cool most of the year and have always used and like warm mist. Need this for my girls' colds, flu and bad seasonal allergies.
My experience:
Since it's used only at bedtime, plugged it in early to get the room moist. 1 hour later, no one felt a difference. We felt a slight mist (at full setting) coming out, but the room was not moist. After 2 hours, we felt a very slight moisture in the air. It could be that this unit can't handle my medium size room. The box claimed it would last about 12 hours, but after 2 hours the water was already down by 1/3. Checked it after 10 hours and it was completed empty so it probably lasted only 6 hours at high setting by my estimation.
Solution:
Returning it today to look for a larger model but since from past experience we know they all last at most 1-2 years of light-medium use, getting an inexpensive one is wise.
