The Vicks EasyCare+ Top Fill Filter-Free Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier helps you maintain a comfortably humidified environment all year long with the added benefit of being filter-free and easy to refill thanks to its top-fill design. Also designed to be whisper quiet, it is the perfect humidifier for bedrooms, living rooms and more.
Refilling this home humidifier is easy thanks to its convenient Top-Fill Design. Unlike other humidifiers requiring constant water tank removal, the EasyCare+ features a convenient and user-friendly top-fill design. This design features a flip-top lid, letting you quickly open the lid and pour water directly into the tank. Never worry about lugging heavy water tanks around again! For even more versatility, the flip-top lid is large enough for you to refill directly from a sink if necessary, as well.
In addition to being easy to fill, the Vicks cool mist humidifier is also easy to maintain thanks to its Filter-Free Operation. This filter-free operation uses ultrasonic waves to evenly disperse moisture throughout medium-sized spaces between 250 and 400 square feet. As a result, this filter-free humidifier requires less maintenance and helps you save on filter-replacement costs. It's a good option for those who don't want the hassle of purchasing and replacing filters every few weeks. Lastly, you should use distilled water to reduce mineral content and prevent "white dust."
Enjoy Cool Mist Humidification for soothing dry air relief all year long. The cool, soothing mist is safe for children and pets and helps combat itchy eyes, sore throats, and irritated sinuses, making it a great choice as a kids or baby humidifier. Cool mist humidifiers also tend to be more energy-efficient thanks to less energy consumption. Perhaps the biggest bonus, however, is that they tend to be particularly effective at helping reduce and soothe congestion and coughs.
Experience the soothing effects of Vicks Vapor Relief. With the EasyCare+ Humidifier, you can use cough and throat soothing vapor two ways, first with Vicks Vapo SteamĀ® Camphor Medicated Liquid (not included), and second with Vicks Soothing Menthol VapoPadsĀ® (1 sample pad included). To use medicated liquid or essential oils (not included), simply place liquid or oils into the included medicine cup to be diffused into the air. In addition, the unit features a designated VapoPadsĀ® door or compartment on the front where 2 VapoPadsĀ® can be placed.
The EasyCare+ Humidifier's Compact Size makes it an ideal humidifier for a variety of settings. Its smaller size ensures it will easily fit next to your bed on a nightstand or a desk in a home office. Its compact design also allows it to be used in nurseries or other smaller rooms like bathrooms and even studio apartments where space is at a premium. As a result of its smaller scale, it can easily be transported from room to room throughout your home or taken with you in your car for road trips and extended vacations. This portable humidifier makes a perfect addition to any desk, nightstand, or nursery, without taking up too much space.

Water Quality and Your Humidifier
High mineral content in your water, also known as āhard water,ā may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as āWhite Dust.ā The higher the mineral content or hardness of your water, the greater the potential that you may have white dust. āWhite Dustā is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using. If you live in a hard water area, the use of distilled water will minimize the production of white dust.
Weekly Cleaning:
It is recommended that you empty the Water Tank and Reservoir when the unit is not in use, rinse them, and let them air dry. To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting shown below. These two processes must be performed separately.
Instructions for Scale Removal:
- 1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
- Remove any accessories, and wipe any remaining residue from the Medicine Cup.
- Remove the Water Tank from the Base. Holding the Base, empty water from the Reservoir.
- Pour a minimum of 1 cup (1/4 liter) of undiluted distilled white vinegar into the Water Tank. Gently swish vinegar around in the Tank to wet the entire inside of the Tank.
- Place Tank on Base. Vinegar will drain into the Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) in the Reservoir and bottom of the Water Tank. There should be enough vinegar to cover the bottom inside of the Tank.
- Soak for 20 minutes, then remove the Water Tank and slowly empty the vinegar into the sink. Rinse with tap water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
- Empty vinegar from the Base and Reservoir area.
- Remove the Float Paddle from the Reservoir by lifting on the sides. Wipe the Float Paddle and Reservoir area with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals. If mineral buildup is stubborn on the nebulizer, loosen it with a soft toothbrush. Rinse the base making sure water does not enter the vented fan or power knob. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
- Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir. Position in place. For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section.
Instructions for Disinfecting:
Follow Steps 1-3 in the Scale Removal Instructions in the previous section. NOTE: Bleach may stain clothes. It is recommended that you wear rubber gloves during this process to protect your hands.
- 1. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5mL) of bleach to 1/2 gallon (1.9L) of water. Pour the bleach solution into the Tank, wetting the entire inside with the bleach solution. Place the Mist Nozzle inside to also disinfect. NOTE: Using more than 1 tablespoon of bleach for 1 gallon (3.8L) of water may result in damage to the humidifier.
- 2. Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into the Water Reservoir.
- 3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove the Water Tank and slowly empty the bleach solution into the sink. Wearing rubber gloves carefully remove the Nozzle. Rinse the Tank and Nozzle with water until the smell of bleach is gone.
- 4. Empty bleach solution from the Base and Reservoir area. Carefully rinse, making sure water does not enter the vented fan or power knob until the smell of bleach is gone.
- 5. Remove the Float Paddle from the Reservoir by lifting on the sides and rinsing.
- 6. Using a soft cloth, wipe the Base, VapoPad Door, Medicine Cup, Chimney, Float Paddle, and Mist Nozzle.
- 7. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir. Position in place. For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section.
End-Of-Season Care And Storage:
Follow the CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week or it is the end of the season. At the end of the season, remove any accessories used with the humidifier and allow the humidifier and accessories to dry completely before storing. Don't store water inside the Base, Water Reservoir, or Tank.
