Preparing for the cold and flu season is essential, especially when you have little children. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the Vicks Vaporizer review.

No mum likes to put their little one to bed when they’re unwell, especially when they’re having trouble settling because of a blocked nose or cough. All we want to do is provide some relief to our child so that they can get a good night’s sleep, and a Vicks Vaporizer can help with that!

For this review we will be sending mums the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer and Vicks Double Strength Inhalant, that helps provide natural cold and cough relief for the whole family.

Household heating systems in the winter and air conditioners in the summer can rob the indoor air of its natural moisture. The lungs and respiratory tract are dependent on moisture to function effectively. The Vicks Vaporizer helps provide appropriate humidity levels to keep respiratory systems moist and healthy and helps relieve the mucous associated with cold and flu symptoms.

The Vicks Vaporizer helps relieve the symptoms of nose and throat congestion, coughs and a parched throat by thinning mucous and draining sinus passages. This clears the nasal passages for easier breathing and relieves dry, scratchy throats. Using the Vicks Vaporizer overnight ensures sleep is more restful with gentle, natural steam therapy. You can also have peace of mind in this product, as it’s won the Trusted Brands award for the Most Trusted Vaporizer/Humidifier for 2 years in a row – as voted by the Australian public.

  • Great for those stuffy noses

    For almost 10 years now I have been using a vicks vaporizer and it doesn’t let down. It helps our family during the stuffy noses and just makes us feel human again and get a good night sleep. A must have for your family.

  • saviour during the flu

    This has been my saviour when I have had the flu, running cold, congestion in my chest, and head colds. It is so easy to use. Smells fragrant(due to the vicks), portable, and easy to store. I am super happy with this product. I have used this for 4 years and have never had a problem before giving it away. It is long lasting and value for money.

  • Works wonders.

    I have owned a vicks Vaporizer for a little while now. I purchased mine when my little one was sick and had an extremely blocked nose, which no other products were helping. The first night using it was just proof of how amazing it was. My little one slept so soundly that night and could breathe through his nose. So for every sleep and nap while he was sick with a blocked nose we used it. We always have a better night sleep then what it was like dealing without it.

    Very simple and easy to use, it also has great safety features such as turning off when its finished and has a light on it so you know where it is while it is working its magic.

    Fairly easy to clean and packs away nicely after use.

  • Sleeping babies make this mama happy

    I’m back again as I’ve just uploaded my video. In a nutshell, I highly recommend as it really opens up their nasal passages and not be so congested. A sleeping baby makes me so incredibly happy. As a mum of four, when one gets sick it makes it’s rounds so if it can relieve at least one of my babes then it allows me the hands to tend to my other babes. I will be investing in a second vaporiser!

  • It works wonders

    The vaporiser arrived at the perfect time, my baby girl had the sniffles and it was the perfect aid to open up her airways and help her breathe easier overnight, resulting in a sound sleep. I would highly recommend and have already done so amongst friends and family.

  • Great

    We borrowed my mums as my oldest has asthma and we placed it into his room. He had the best nights sleep he told me the next day. He said he wasn’t having trouble breathing. He told me if we could get one to have in his room every night also. He said he found he wasn’t wheezy after using it and had so much more energy

  • Missing my vaporizer

    I had a Vick's vaporizer for years and I really enjoyed it. However, when it needed to be replacing I decided to try a diffuser instead and have been regretting my decision ever since. You notice right away when you have your Vicks Vaporizer going in a room. Definitely helps little ones with stuffy noses I would recommend this product to everyone. Its perfect and relaxing for all ages

  • Amazing for the winter months

    This Vick’s vaporiser is amazing for the winter months. It has that nose clearing Vick’s scent to it. Great as a preventative for colds. It keeps the airways nice and clear. It has a very calm and relaxing feel to it. Perfect for little ones, especially when they are unwell during winter.

  • Brilliant!

    We’ve been using this since we received it and I’m loving it. Although it is a little difficult to clean, it’s easy to use, the inhalant works a treat and smells so nice. It also doesn’t get too hot and creates the perfect amount of steam. I feel like it definitely makes kiddos sleep better even when they aren’t particularly sick.

    we've been using this for years!! ever since i had little babies with the snuffles to when their Dad caught the flu - this has been an absolute god send for the whole family over the course of so many years, even since my eldest (8) was a bub!

  • Great for colds

    I have had this product for about 7 years hasn’t missed a beat. When ever the children are sick with a cold we pop this on and use it untill they are better. Helps with their stuffy noses and can sleep a bit easier. It’s easy to use, we pop it on about 15 mins before they go to bed so their rooms are already full of the smell..

  • Effective but noisy

    We got this when my little one had croup. It certainly steamed up the room effectively, though we’d been recommended it by the doctor for the warm air rather than steam, and the oil helped keep things clear for him. However it sounded like a kettle constantly on the boil and when it’s 2am and there are no other sounds that’s quite noisy and my little one kept waking so eventually we turned it off.

  • Must have

    With 3 kids this bad boy has certainly had a work out over the years. We’ve definitely noticed a difference in a sick kids sleep when we use this. Even when I go in to check them it clears my sinus instantly. It’s easy to use and clean. Don’t forget to leave the window or door open a couple of inches to help prevent the condensation build up on the walls.

  • Smells Amazing!

    I really enjoyed the smell that came from the vaporizer, it smelled so good and definitely helped with clearing stuffy noses. I put this on as my daughter was all blocked up and it helped clear her nose and she woke feeling better after having it going all night in her bedroom. It was easy to use however I found trying to empty any excess water out after use a little difficult due to the shape of the base. Maybe a drain plug would be useful.

  • Vicks vapourizer 17 years old

    I bought my Vicks Steam warm Vapourizer when my son was only a few months old. He is almost 18 and I still use when either he or myself have a cold. Money well spent and I think it makes a great gift when someone you know has a baby

  • Does the job but design could be better

    Have always been a fan of vicks prodcits all my life. We received the vapouriser from our baby shower and it woks.well in not only helping our little but us too when we we've got a sore throat or blocked nose. The only problem we have with it is it's design, the white bowl base makes it really hard to remove old water and the whole machine itself is quite bulky

  • Great for a restful night - could do with some design tweaks

    Having used the Vick’s warm vaporiser for a couple of weeks now, I am happy with the steam that it produces. It’s not too hot so while a child shouldn’t touch it, in the event that they do they shouldn’t be scalded. The warm steam combined with the inhalant provides a more restful night for my son when he’s congested.

    The only suggestion I would have is to redesign the plastic reservoir that holds the water. I found it a bit tricky to align the heating unit with the plastic notches and click it into place. It’s also hard to empty the last bits of water that is left after the unit switches off. Because of the shape, you have to shake the reservoir to get the water out.

    Other than those two points above, it does a great job of easing my child’s cold and would still recommend it as a useful tool during winter.

  • Fresh air Vicks

    I love my vaporiser as it leaves the air fresh and a clean atmosphere. I have mine situated in the hallway under the stand and it always delivers a fresh inhalation that clears a blocked nose and opens up ones airways. I have used Vick’s for many years either as a rub or spray so I loved my vaporiser.

    I love having this, especially during the winter months!! It works well on the whole family, including my 4 month old baby. It is super easy to setup and use and lasts for the night to help with breathing, especially when the temperature drops so cold over night! Highly recommend to help with the cold and flu season!

  • Great quality and easy to clean

    I have used a number of vapourisers over the years and am always frustrated by the inability to open the unit and clean them out. The first one we had you could open the init up but this leaked water all over the counter top and our second unit was dully enclosed and got a lot of grime in it.

    This unit is by far the best I have used. I am not a massive fan of the scent of the vapouriser liquid but that is more a personal preference. Great quality and a good buy for any mums out there

  • Nice scent, warm (not hot) steam, sleeping kid = happy mama!

    We have tried several different brands of vaporizers over the years, and I have had concerns with each of them. However, so far the Vicks Vaporizer has pleasantly surprised me.

    The pros that I have for it are - 1. The VapoSteam that is used with it is very soft and subtle. It isn’t overpowering, but it is strong enough that it drifted through the room nicely.

    2. The steam really is just warm. The reason I say this is because my last two vaporizers poured out hot steam, so much so that I have burnt my hand on them a few times. Not enough to cause an issue, but enough to pull my hand away really quickly. This always concerned me with my kids being in the room with them without supervision. I don’t have that worry with this one - the steam isn’t hot to touch.

    3. There was no condensation in the room in the morning. Our last vaporizer left the room a little wet.

    4. And finally, the automatic shut off time is quite long, so it can run for the whole night.

    The cons I found with it are:

    1. Personally I found it hard to align the top piece with the water holder. It felt like they didn’t fit properly, but once I managed to get the top in, it fits well and snug. It has gotten easier after a few uses to line it up and insert it, but that was a con.

    2. I find it hard to empty all the water out if there’s any left in the bottom piece. The container has a lip to it, which allows the top piece to lock in. However this lip stopped the water from coming out when trying to empty it.

    Overall, I am very happy with it, and my daughter slept very peacefully with it in her room - not sure if that’s a coincidence, but I’ll keep using it just to be safe! ????

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.

    Reply

  • I registered to give it a go. Hopefully it will be fun and easy. I often wonder where these survey figures come from so I now realise sites like this are it.

    Reply

  • I’ve neer been on Purkle yet. Although I have nothing against having your say and sharing your thoughts, advice and opinions there is one thing that I hate and that is surveys ! Quite often the available answers to chose from do not resemble my thought and you end up chosing the answer that comes closest to your ideas, but is not really it.

    Reply

  • Some of these surveys can’t be done on your phone and they can be quite repetitive. I earn $20 every few months and these days, every little bit helps with the cost of living

    Reply

  • I do the occasional survey for some extra money or when I want to treat myself to something a little special. I actually saved my survey fly buys dollars and treated myself to a Kitchen Aid mixer. It was worth all the time doing the surveys as it allows me to make lunch snacks so much quicker

    Reply

  • I love doing surveys but I do find they time out a lot after you have spent time doing them. It is a great little way to make some extra cash on the side. You need to have the time to do these regularly and working full time I don’t these days but still love to earn a few dollars when I can.
