About this product
The Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier adds moisture to the air with a cool, visible mist that's safe for any room in your home. Using ultrasonic technology, this compact humidifier operates quietly whilst releasing a steady flow of cool mist, making it ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms, or your workspace. The water tank provides hours of continuous moisture, and the visible water level means you always know when it's time to refill. With its compact size and low power consumption, it fits neatly on a desk or bedside table without taking up much space or adding to your energy costs.
The 360-degree mist nozzle directs flow where you need it, and one-button operation makes it simple to use. VapoPad technology lets you insert a scented pad for extra comfort and easy breathing. It includes 1 menthol VapoPad to start. Auto shut-off activates when water runs low, giving peace of mind. The cord offers flexible placement, and the easy-clean feature makes maintenance straightforward. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, it provides year-round comfort whenever you need it.

Great product
Bought it a couple months ago for a sore throat and to make the air less dry worked great has a nice water noise every so often not long tho also easy to fill up and is portable this runs a good few hours before you need to refill and when put on a high shelf of desk level it covers more than enough room

Unclear that you can only use with distilled water
Bought this but didn't realise you have to use with distilled water (buried in T&Cs). Only reaslised this as it was actually making my cough worse with tap water.

Do not recommend
I do not recommend this over priced humidifier. Sure, it is really portable. But the mist got the floor and table wet, something I have never experienced with other humidifiers.

Perfect for nursery
Our 3 month old was struggling with the heating and change in weather. We bought this for his nursery and could see the difference straight away. It's so easy to use!

It's ok. Took some time to get going at any real effectiveness. Probably better out there.

Hello Bee, thank you for your interest in our product! To keep your Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier fresh and free from mould, we recommend emptying and rinsing the water tank daily and allowing all parts to air‑dry completely. Once a week, perform a deeper clean: remove mineral buildup by soaking the base with white vinegar for 15–20 minutes, then disinfect the tank with a mild bleach solution (1 teaspoon of bleach in 1 liter of water). Rinse thoroughly until the smell is gone and let everything dry before reassembling. Always use distilled water when possible and never leave standing water in the tank. Regular care ensures healthy air quality and optimal performance. If any additional information is required, please do not hesitate to approach our Customer Support Team at Vicks_WICK_Support@helenoftroy.eu

Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Katie! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any misunderstandings caused.
The Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier is designed for use with Vicks VapoPads only. Adding essential oils, medications, or inhalant liquids directly into the water tank can damage the humidifier and void the warranty.
To enjoy the benefits of essential oils, please use Vicks VapoPads. Simply open the scent pad door, insert up to two pads, and close the door.
For further details, please refer to the user manual.

Hi Katie,
The Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier can only be used with the VapoPad that include scented essential oils already in them. You should only put water in the tank itself.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Some! Thanks for your question.
We don't recommend using salt water in the Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier. This is because using salt water can cause mineral build-up and potentially damage the unit. Ultrasonic humidifiers are designed to work with clean, distilled, or filtered water to make sure they work as well as possible and last a long time.
We hope you find this information helpful.
Warm wishes,
Anita - Vicks Team
Hi Jo,
The Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier can be used with only water, however only water is to be put into the water tank. No oils.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Maz,
Our supplier has advised for the Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier: ''You don't need to use the pads, it can be used with just water.''
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Terry,
Thank you for your questions.
The Vicks VUL510 Ultrasonic Humidifier may be beneficial for someone with COPD. Humidifiers, especially warm mist humidifiers, can help add moisture to the air, which can relieve symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath by loosening mucus and reducing nasal irritation.
However, it's important to use humidifiers with care. Excessive humidity can encourage the growth of mould and bacteria, which can aggravate respiratory symptoms. It's important to keep the humidifier clean and follow the manufacturer's instructions to maintain optimum air quality.
It's always best to consult a healthcare professional before using a humidifier to ensure it is suitable for your specific needs and conditions.
We hope you find this information useful.
Best wishes,
The Vicks Team
