Lastly, do not leave these units unattended. One of my units started smoking. Once I took it apart to see what was going on, it seemed that the corrosion was so bad where the electrical cord met the unit, it created somewhat of a short or corrosion bridge between the wires. Again, I used these things units until they were completely trash. I just wouldn't leave this in a baby's room overnight or leave it plugged in and leave the house. Also with the use of outlet timers, you can ensure that this unit will not operate in your absence. Our bedroom timer would turn off at 6:00 AM and resume operation at 9:00 PM. This humidifier has some quirks but once you understand how it works and how to maintain it its an amazing value. For starters, most units sold today are cool mist humidifiers, so you’ll have a lot more choice. The absence of any burn hazard makes them safe to use, even around babies. They’re also more effective in the treatment of colds because they can shrink nasal passages. Let the heating element soak in the vinegar for at least 20 minutes, never turn the unit on while you are cleaning. You might start, for example, by turning it about halfway between low and high and adjusting as needed.Insert a VapoPad, if desired. VapoPads allow your humidifier to emit soothing scents, like rosemary, lavender, or menthol, for up to 8 hours at a time. Open the humidifier's scent pad door, then open the scent pad by tearing a notch on the corner of the bag. Insert the VapoPad into the door and close it.

Now I'm not usually a "brand" person...but one thing I have learned over the years...don't buy cheap vaporizers...they just don't last very long. Put the humidifier on a flat, waterproof surface. The surface should be at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from your bedside and 6 inches (15 cm) away from the wall. If you have any pets or small children, place the humidifier where it will not be disturbed by either.

How to Clean Warm Mist Humidifiers:

COUGH AND CONGESTION RELIEF – Vaporizers for bedroom and home can be helpful when it’s difficult to sleep with cough and congestion. It can provide temporary relief by adding necessary moisture to the air, and VapoSteam (not included) offers extra comfort If you have a lot of mineral buildup on the heating element you can soak it longer, such as several hours or overnight. If you use this in a smaller room and are getting condensation on the windows and exterior wall and are looking to keep your humidity at bay. Consider a outlet timer. I would use the timer in the bedroom, 1 hour on 1 hour off.
