I've had this humidifier for two weeks (mostly run on low) and loved it, yesterday it switched to an orange light (Reset) and would not come out of that mode. I scrubbed every bit of calcium off of the element (you have got to love California water) and that did not help. I started looking at the rest of the device and noticed the tank cap has a spring loaded valve, on this valve is a small knob at the end presumably to not allow the rubber bushing to fall off. I actually believe that is where the rubber bushing is supposed to rest, I grabbed the edge of the bushing and pulled it down until it snapped into place on the end of the valve stem and miraculously my humidifier is working like a charm now. I hope this helps other owners of this humidifier because it works well, is quiet and is quite simple to operate. The only negative is the reliability of the spring loaded valve in the tank cap.

Recently my 2 mo old was sick with a cold and was really congested, I was looking for something to scent the air with vicks so I didn't have to smear it on her chest continually through the night. Well as a humidifier this product maybe okay but as far as releasing that soothing vicks smell that I was hoping for it totally failed; I was extremly dissapointed and could not believe how little aroma this device puts out. I wasn't really interested in the humidifier, but this is all they had so in reality I can't rate this as a humidifier, but I am so upset I just want to create some healing air!!

As with other products by KAZ, Inc.--no, it's not really made by Vicks--it is junk. Works about a month, then dies.
