Humidifier Efficiency

The Vicks V750 is a warm mist humidifier intended for use in medium to large-sized rooms. As part of Vicks' humidifier lineup, it's no surprise that you can pour liquid inhalant into the unit and add a menthol-scented pad to a flip-out tray. The bottom-fill water tank has a usable capacity of 3.9 L (1.0 gal), allowing for a 14-hour runtime.

Our Verdict

7.2 Home

The Vicks V750 is decent for general home use. Its impressive humidification capacity makes it a solid option for larger spaces, like larger open-concept living rooms. It's also fairly easy to clean and doesn't make much noise aside from a faint burble, so you can have it running while you're watching TV or listening to music without it being a significant disturbance. Unfortunately, it lacks a humidistat that would allow it to adjust its misting setting on the fly, though it will shut off automatically once its tank has run out of water.

Pros
  • Fairly quiet.

  • Pretty easy to clean.

  • Impressive humidification capacity.

Cons
  • No built-in humidistat.

  • High power consumption.

7.5 Bedroom

The Vicks V750 is a good option for use in bedrooms. It's fairly quiet, and there's an integrated nightlight for those that want it. Its humidification capacity is also more than sufficient for large bedrooms. Its 14-hour runtime should last you through the night, but just make sure its tank is topped up before going to bed. Unfortunately, you'll have to turn the unit off manually once your desired humidity level is reached, as the V750 lacks an integrated humidistat. Like any warm mist humidifier, it could cause burns if it tips over and spills, so exercise caution if you plan on setting it up in a kid's room.

Pros
  • Fairly quiet.

  • Relatively compact size.

  • Impressive humidification capacity.

Cons
  • No built-in humidistat.

7.5 Cleaning

The Vicks V750 is easy to clean. Since this is a warm mist unit, bacterial and mold buildup is less of a concern than it is for cool mist units, though you'll still have to contend with mineral deposits that can build up over time if you fill it with tap water. It comes apart relatively easily, and there aren't many parts that need to be cleaned periodically, with some being dishwasher-safe.

Pros
  • Pretty easy to clean.

Cons
8.1 Capacity

The Vicks V750 provides impressive humidification capacity. It'll do just fine in larger living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.

Pros
  • Impressive humidification capacity.

Cons
3.4 Humidifier Efficiency

This is a somewhat inefficient humidifier, but it depends on when you'll be using it. Its power consumption is quite high, and you might notice an impact on your energy bill if you use it for prolonged periods. That said, if you're using it in colder, drier months, your home heating system won't have to work especially hard to maintain a pleasant, warm temperature.

Pros
Cons
  • High power consumption.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

This humidifier has only one colorway: 'White/Blue'. For those interested, here's the product label.

If you come across another variant of this humidifier, let us know in the comments.

Compared To Other Humidifiers

The Vicks V750 is a pretty basic warm mist humidifier. It has a small footprint, isn't too noisy, and features a built-in nightlight that you can turn on or off, making it a good option for cold and dry bedrooms. Like most Vicks humidifiers, you can use this unit with aromatherapy pads and liquid inhalants. Unfortunately, its 14-hour max runtime lags slightly behind cool-misting Vicks humidifiers like the Vicks VEV400.

The Vicks V750 is easy to clean. Only six parts need to be cleaned periodically. The mist chimney, medicine cup, and removable tray are dishwasher safe, saving you a bit of effort when it comes time to clear out any mineral deposits. The unit itself is pretty easy to take apart, with only the mist chimney and removable tray held in place with latches.

This humidifier has a few features. You can add a scented pad to the included tray and pour liquid inhalant into the V750's medicine cup. The unit will also shut off when its water tank has run dry, though there's no built-in humidistat to monitor humidity levels in real-time. This means you'll have to cycle between the two misting settings to reach your desired humidity level and turn off the unit once it's been reached.
