“ All the humidifiers are made of plastics. I had three humidifiers, but none of them fit my living room style.”

“ I don’t use any other functions other than on/off button.”

“ The refill process is annoying because when I try to refill the Vicks humidifier I don’t have the place to put the blue wet part.”
