Kitchen humidifier designed to ease cough, cold and congestion with quiet cool mist operation. Vicks Mini Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier helps parents and light sleepers keep bedrooms more comfortable overnight. Will this compact choice suit a small bedroom or nursery?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Mist Performance: Fine cool mist with adjustable output and a 180° nozzle for targeted humidity control
  • Best for: Light sleepers, parents and people with mild congestion in rooms up to 15m2
  • Not ideal for: Homes needing whole-house humidification or users who prefer warm vapour humidifiers

Ultrasonic cool mist technology produces safe, burn-free vapour while adjustable settings help maintain humidity between 40 and 60 percent. Dual VapoPad slots accept menthol pads to add soothing vapours alongside the mist.


Easier breathing at night - thanks to ultrasonic cool mist

Ultrasonic elements turn water into a very fine cold aerosol without using heat, so vapour disperses quickly into the air. Adjustable output controls how much mist is emitted to influence local humidity.

Increased local humidity can ease nasal congestion and coughing, helping sleepers breathe more comfortably. Quiet operation supports uninterrupted rest during the night.

Safe for nurseries and children's bedrooms - with cool mist technology

Cool mist design removes heating elements from the system, eliminating risk of scalds that come with warm vapour models. Plastic housing and low-temperature operation reduce burn hazards.

Suitable placement near cot or bedside adds comfort for infants and children without burn concerns. Parents can run the unit overnight with greater peace of mind.

Soothing vapours on demand - with Dual VapoPad technology

Two dedicated slots accept VapoPads, releasing menthol-infused vapour alongside the mist when pads are fitted. Two menthol pads are included to get started.

Menthol vapours can relieve blocked noses and create a comforting atmosphere for sleep. Fans of mild aromatherapy can add familiar VapoPads rather than pouring oils into water.
