Humidifiers and essential oils (like scented VapoPads) can help you and your family stay healthy during the cold season. Prevention: During winter, the air inside your home can become dryer, due to the heating and the cold air outside. This can lead to irritated throat and nasal passages, which can let you more vulnerable to winter illness. Humidifiers add moisture into the air you breathe, and allow to keep your throat and nasal passages hydrated. Cough & cold season: The right humidity level helps easy breathing and favorizes a more comfortable and restful sleep. Reduction of viruses survival: Maintaining a humidity level between 40-60 per cent can reduce the survival of viruses.* This means less opportunity for them to spread to the other members of your family and keep them healthy. *Environmental Health 2010, 9:55 Reduce The Survival of Flu Viruses For better indoor comfort: Research shows that maintaining an indoor humidity level between 40-60 per cent can reduce the survival of flu viruses on surfaces and in the air (Environmental Health 2010, 9:55). Use a humidity monitor to know when and where to use a humidifier in your home to get the best level of moisture for you and your family. Compact Size - Portable Takes little space on night table and can easily be taken when travelling. VapoPads Compatible Compatible with VapoPads scented pads with essential oils. Add soothing vapors into your room for extra comfort. Do not place the VapoPad or other essential oils directly into the water tank, essential oils will have a negative impact on the plastic tank and cap, resulting in premature material failure and water leaking from the device Ideal for small room With a 0.5-litre tank capacity to last up to 4 hours without having to refill. This product is recommended for rooms up to 10m2 Simple & Intuitive Use Simple and intuitive use with 1 button operation for constant cool mist output. Press the power button briefly. Do not exceed pressing the button for more than 5 seconds. Review: Stopped my kid getting nosebleeds - My 5 year old was getting regular nosebleeds in the night especially when the weather was hot and she slept with the fan circulating dry air around the room. Since using this she has not had any nosebleeds at all as the air becomes more humid and is less irritating to the nostrils. She has also used the menthol vapopads when she has had a stuffy nose due to cold symptoms and she has definitely sleeps better through the night. The menthol smell is not particularly strong though which for a kid is probably a good thing, however it might not be much use for an adult unless you sleep with it right next to your bed on a bedside table. With a full tank of water, it will last for about 4-5 hours. I wish I got the larger one so that I wouldn’t have to fill it up again in the middle of the night. When it runs out of water, it automatically stops and the green light turns red. I’ve left it on the red light until morning and it’s not been a problem. Cleaning can be a pain in the backside as you have to do it weekly to prevent mould build up. It would be better if it we’re easy to open up the tank completely to empty and clean but all you can do is let the water drain from the port - inevitably not all of the water will come out. Review: Good with a few drawbacks - Firstly, it isn't actually from Vicks, they just recommend it. Positives (a bit forced): -Seems to have solved my dry skin -Quiet unlike any fan -Small and compact -Isn't too difficult to clean -Works just as any humidifier should -Is cool mist as advertised Negatives: -When it's on, it has that normal ultrasonic sound, but it has a drip drip sound too which is odd, but isn't too loud so falling asleep is fine. -The way the top half container is designed is poor. There is no latching mechanism to the bottom half, so the top half is just loose. So when you do carry it, (it's supposed to advertised as portable?) you have to carry it with your fingers at the base your thumbs to secure the top half. -The bottom carries some water so if it does have any, and you tilt it, it will leak. -I thought it would be battery powered but it has to be powered by the mains (maybe that's just on me) -They keep talking about how you should keep the room between 40% and 60% humidity but the humidifier itself doesn't have any sensor of that sort; instead they want you to purchase an actual sensor All in all, it works, and isn't too bothersome, and so that's fine for me at least. It does seem like my dry skin is much better which is good. ## Features - Causes serious eye damage. - Causes serious eye irritation. - Causes skin irritation. - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - May cause an allergic skin reaction. - May cause respiratory irritation. - Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - Compact, portable humidifier compatible with VapoPads to help easy breathing - Maintaining moisture level between 40-60 percent in your home and can help reduce the survival of flu viruses - Ultrasonic Technology for ultra quiet operation and cool mist to avoid risk of burns - Last up to 4 hours per tank - 0.5 Litre capacity - For added soothing vapours use with VapoPads menthol or rosemary and lavender (optional) essential oils ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DNHFVSH | | Best Sellers Rank | 305,359 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 148 in Humidifiers | | Brand Name | Vicks | | Capacity | 0.5 litres | | Colour | White | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,210) | | Filter Type | HEPA | | Floor Area | 10 Square Meters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04022167501158 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 5.1D x 5.1W x 5.1H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Personal Humidifier | | Manufacturer | Helen of Troy | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | VICKS VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier | | Model Number | VUL505 | | Operation Mode | Ultrasonic | | Other Special Features of the Product | Portable | | Room Type | Bedroom | | Runtime | 4 hours | | Wattage | 18 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vicks - **Capacity:** 0.5 litres - **Colour:** White - **Floor area:** 10 Square Meters - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![Vicks VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SVpfai94L.jpg) ![Vicks VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MNtB-ChHL.jpg) ![Vicks VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jtNw08UpL.jpg) ![Vicks VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51V3ZdVDt8L.jpg) ![Vicks VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618HB1V5LsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this use filters or is it filter free?** A: You can use with or without a vicks filter **Q: Is this similar to an air purifier?** A: No it is not! This adds moisture to the air. An air purifier, by means of various filters, cleans the air of tiny particles (usually as small as 0.3 microns). This device has no filters. **Q: Does it emit a blue light when it is turned on?** A: No. The only light comes from the on/off button. When it’s turned on the lights is green, when the humidifier runs out of water it shuts itself off and the lights turns red. **Q: Can this be plugged in e.g. with usb?** A: No,it has it's own charger. It needs to be plugged into an electric socket. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped my kid getting nosebleeds *by S***X on 22 September 2021* My 5 year old was getting regular nosebleeds in the night especially when the weather was hot and she slept with the fan circulating dry air around the room.

It sits on my desk and keeps the area around my desk humidified, I can feel it working on my dry throat and sinuses within 30 minutes. This is a small compact version of larger humidifiers. It doesn’t have any output controls, but if find that the o.5 litre capacity lasts around 5 -6 hours (although it’s switched off when I go for lunch). I empty the water each night and dry the bottom mechanism for storage in my desk drawer overnight. Love the fact that the power cable plugs into the humidifier, meaning I can take it away for cleaning/drying without dangling wires. I haven’t used the diffuser pads - not sure my colleagues would appreciate menthol all day. Excellent well made product with auto cut off when water runs out (red light shows on display). Portable enough to take on my holidays - I always find hotel rooms far too dry....... Brilliant. ## Frequently Bought Together - VICKS VUL505 Cool Mist Personal Humidifier - Vicks VapoPads Menthol - Scented Pads with Essential Oils - Pack of 1 - Compatible with our Humidifiers, Inhalers & Diffusers - Suitable for Colds and Congestion - Releases Soothing Vapours - VH7 - Vicks Paediatric Vapopads 7 Refill Scent Pads Rosemary Lavender --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/79509810-vicks-vul505-cool-mist-personal-humidifier](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/79509810-vicks-vul505-cool-mist-personal-humidifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
