When I was still living in New York, my local pharmacist saw me purchasing this product and asked me if it worked. I explained that it was actually my third purchase. I had accidentally left my other two back in Texas and my son had caught a cold. After hearing my spiel about how it worked, the pharmacist dashed off to set one aside for her kids.
The Vicks Waterless Vaporizer is literally a plug-and-use product. Simply insert a scent pad, plug in the power cord, and choose your intensity setting. It goes from "off" to "III", with the latter being the most intense release of scent. No mess or fuss. At night, it doubles as a pleasant, low level, green nightlight.
The only complaint you may have is that, similar to the rub-on version of Vicks, it can burn the eyes if it is a little too close to someone's face. Otherwise, it clears your nose like magic and lives up to the Vicks reputation.
Oh yeah, I've since added a fourth one to my anti-cold/flu arsenal. My mom seems to be claiming a couple.

I am glad to be able to find filters for an air cleaner that still works well. Thanks.
This is such a unique lamp. I love the natural light glow. It makes me feel at ease. I have it in my office and turn it on EVERYDAY.
I bought six of these filters in Dec 08 and they are fake.They have different markings on them from the originalBlueAir filters.The filter media is also oriented up-to-down instead of left-to-right.The width is 1/8-inch shorter so there is a gap whenyou put them into the machines.And hold the filter up to a light and you can see through the filter!!!There is no carbon in them.DO NOT BUY THESE - RIP OFF!!!
As far as I can tell this is a good filter for the money.I haven't replaced the first one yet, but it appears to be doing the job.
Bulb needs replacement after @ 2000 hours of use. The bulb needs to be the one designed for the Slant/Fin humidifier, not any old UV bulb. It has a small bead of metal (? mercury) in the bulb that acts as an activator. Once replaced, the small yellow light goes out on the humidifier indicating that it is working. So far, it is working well. The problem is finding it on the internet. Prices range from $13.00 to $24.00
I have been using this filter for years and its fantastic. It performs just like the manufacturer says. Its a must have if you do vacuming,or work in a dusty enviroment like yard work; especially if you are Asthmatic or sensitive to dust and other irritants like dust mites,dander, mold, pollen etc.
