Noise level
Vicks V745 will make some noise as all humidifiers do. On the low setting, it is quiet. You will hear a low boiling noise. On the high setting, you will also hear a boiling noise but a bit noisier. Sometimes it gets a bit talkative, but that’s not happening often. If you are a light sleeper, this unit will not wake you up.
Maintenance and upkeep
Vicks V745 requires regular cleaning. It depends on how often you use the humidifier.
Daily you have to refill the tank and empty it if you dot use the unit.
Every week or 2, you have to do a cleaning. If the tank smells, add a teaspoon of bleach, swish it around and empty it. Pour vinegar into the tank, let it sit for some time, and then clean it.
