 A Must Have for Singers and Speakers |
| Review Date: November 17, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Beth Botsis, Northern Virginia |
| This great little device is an essential for singers and speakers, especially those who suffer allergies. (Allergy sufferers who aren't singers or speakers would benefit too.) Steam is the number 1 treatment prescribed by my otolaryngologist when experiencing allergy, cold, or other respiratory/vocal symptoms. My personal steamer travels easily with me, tucked into the corner of a carry-on size suitcase. When you're on the road presenting or performing, it can be a life saver. Much better than a towel over your head and a pan of boiling water too (and safer). I recommend personal steamers to all my voice students. It's true, as another reviewer wrote, that you can buy this less expensively at your local WalMart or Target store, but even at this price, it's a winner. |
Best Bang For The Buck!

| Review Date: January 24, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Jimmy Dean, Oceanside, CA United States |
I purchased the Inhaler after reviewing other comparable devices on the Internet. What sold me was the price and the name brand.
I've been using it whenever my sinus is blocked and it does a great job. Very low maintenance and the cost (water + a bit of electricity) is close to nothing to what it uses.
The face mask (I'll call it that) fits me well but I usually keep my head a few inches away when the steam really starts to engage. I surely don't want to fry my nasal passages and it could easily do that if I continue to keep my face right up to the mask.
I know I could use those menthol pads but the cost is high even searching around on the internet for lower costs. What I did instead is purchase those pocket Vicks inhalers that is not only cheap but very effective too! I usually stop for 30 seconds between steam sessions and inhale through each nostril about three times and then continue on with 5-10 minute sessions doing this for 20 minutes or so. Works real well.
I think the device will last me years and years and the maintenance with white vinegar is also low cost!

I LOVE it!

| I received my personal steamer today; it's compact, requires no assembly, is easy to use and the flow of steam is adjustable. The face mask is relatively comfortable and it was relaxing to inhale warm, moist air during the treatment. Cleaning instructions appear to be simple. As promised, sinus and chest congestion were loosened during the first treatment. I highly recommend this product. |
Effecient and effective

This product really works to open nasal passages and relieve congestion.
Follow the instructions. Using it for a 5 minute session 3 times a day really did the trick. The first two days I got releif and could sleep all night but would still get congested. On the 3rd day the gates opens and the drainage was terrific. I am getting one for my grown son that has allergies worse than I do . |

| Reviewer: Louisa May Alcott, |
| It is an excellent product. It delivers a concentrated warm steam to the nose and sinus areas. The funnel is made of soft material and the unit is compact and can easily be stored almost anywhere. It would be easy to take along when traveling. The water heats up rapidly. It does cost about $10 more than facial saunas at Walgreens or Wal Mart but the features I mentioned above make it worth the extra money in my opinion. |

| Reviewer: JSpangler, Silicon Valley, CA, USA |
| This "personal" steam inhaler is as small and lightweight as it could be and do the job as advertised. The base diameter is 5 1/2 inches & the assembled height of the unit is 8 1/4 inches. The clear, plastic mask covers nose and mouth; the plastic is soft and well-shaped. One's face is best held a little away from the mask because the steam can be very hot. The product is well made. Recommended. |

| Review Date: July 29, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Bev Crossly, Texas |
| A voice therapist recommended this because I have lots of laryngitis during the winter. Our local WalMart quit carrying these personal inhalers so I found it on Amazon. I've used it about three years for occasional hoarseness and laryngitis due to allergies and winter dryness. Definitely helps! It only holds about two T. water so you have to be careful letting it warm up. With my new one I will ALWAYS set a timer. |
Excellent product

| I purchased the Inhaler and a supply of the aromatic pads about a month ago. Used it for the first time recently when flu/cold complicated my breathing. This item truly delivers! After two 10-15 minutes sessions, my nasal passages were clear and the chest congestion eased. I highly recommend this product to chronic respiratory sufferers. |
Headache Relief
|
| Review Date: April 11, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Jim, PA |
| My wife bought this little steam inhaler for me a few years back because she thought it might help relieve my headaches after I noticed that a long, hot shower would bring me pain relief. A real miracle in my opinion! I don't know what kind of headaches I get (sinus? maybe) but whenever they're bad, I use this little guy, and I would say 95% of the time, within 20 minutes of inhaling the steam, the headache is GONE. I can't say this will work for your headaches, but it has for me and it lets me start functioning again. Just be careful when you first use it - you need to adjust the opening for the right amount of steam and gauge how close you get to the facepiece so you don't burn yourself, because the water is literally boiling. I'm ordering another one for the office. Good luck! |

| Review Date: August 29, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Vadim.Zip, NY, USA |
I got my Vicks Steam Inhaler a few days ago. I had been choosing between it and the Mabis one. However, the latter costs $20 more so I decided to go with this one considering almost identical review ratings. I would rate it with 4.5 starts, not with 5. There is still a little room for improvement. It is pretty compact and quick. It starts producing steam in about 4 minutes. Yes, you can regulate the amount of steam. But I found that hot air makes me breath faster and, as a result, there is not enough steam produced by the machine between my breaths. Fortunately, I came up with a nice and simple solution. The mask has a few holes in it to mix the steam with some fresh air. If I cover with my fingers some or all three holes I get enough steam with every inhalation. It's pretty convenient, at least, for me and allows to (manually) regulate the amount of steam.
Another thing important for me was a possibility to use oil. Neither Vicks or Mabis inhaler assume that you can directly add aroma oil to water. Both brands sale their own inhaler pads designed to work with their machines. But the choice of oils is very limited. By the way, the Vicks Inhaler comes with a disposable pad good for one time use. Some people reported that they had still added a few drops of oil. For some it worked fine, for the others it didn't work that well screwing in some way the water heating surface. What I did is I bought this refill kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XPX1HG) and it's been working great for me. You can put a pad directly on the plastic thing with the holes the steam comes out. The only difference with the original pad is form but it works great. It does not mess with the water heating surface and you can refill those cotton pads with any oil you want. For the future, I'm going to buy cotton pads and oil separately. I prefer to use calendula and there is no pads or kits coming with calendula extract. |

| Reviewer: The Best Bailey, |
I have frequent issues with my sinuses and am always trying to stave off a sinus infection, and, I'm not a big fan of medication. I read about how humidifiers can help with sinus issues, but didn't want to turn my apartment into a sauna.
I read some of the one and two-star reviews and was a bit concerned about the steam output, but I found that this little contraption almost produces too much steam; just like a hot shower, it takes a minute to get acclimated to the heat. This evening I have completed two full treatments and have now regained the use of my nose.
My only issues with this device are that, for one, the little rubber feet were a little uneven (I fixed that). Secondly, the therapeutic disc included with this product seemed worthless (although that could be due to my congested nose).
However, this product does what it claims. So for that, it gets all five stars from me. If only I could find a way to get this to run on batteries and glue it to my face. |

| Reviewer: J. D. Laughead, , vermont United States |
The product was way beyond my expatiations, and it works very well, plenty of steam, and the steam adjust slide worked great.
I was taking nasal B-12, for stuffed up nose, and a slight cold, but wasn't working that well. So I put a half of a dropper of Ener-B in the water,in the inhaler,
[...]
I couldn't believe the results, first off it cleared up my nose, and stopped the cold. I was over fatigued and depressed, well it really woke me up, and made me alive.
What B-12 does, is create more oxygen in the blood, which can make your mind move faster. Nasal B-12 can also Destroy the Flu & Cold Viruses [...].
I think this is a Great product, and is well made and designed. It has make me feel great, and the Price is Right! |

| I just bought this yesterday as I have a terrible chest cold. My throat and chest were hurting from coughing. After just the first try of the product, there was no longer any soar throat or chest. It took a few minutes to produce a good steam, but once it did it worked great. In just 5-10 minutes you get the relief that you need. While I paid more for my steam inhaler at a retailer yesterday, it was worth every cent for the relief. I have to travel in a few days and plan to take it with me since it's so compact. |

| I went from a cough the resulted from a cold to an allergic cough that lasted over 6 weeks. I ordered the personal steam inhaler and after a few days of use, the cough started going away, and it is gone now. Also, as soon as I started using it, I noticed my tight chest cough loosening some. I'm glad I have this, because when those allergies kick in I have effective help at hand, in addition to a saline nasal inhaler. |

| Reviewer: Jekkie, Oklahoma City, OK |
| This is really handy for a singer to have. It's very portable, light, and compact. I really like it. It puts out plain steam to inhale and you can adjust the output. It heats up quickly and puts out steam long enough to sit there for over 10 min at least. I don't have any complaints. Inhaling steam is so good for you, if you have allergies or are battling phlegm or a cold...this will help you so much. I am a singer and use this steamer twice a day and it's helped me with my allergies. |

Since moving to North Carolina a year ago, I have had numerous sinus infections. I have not had one since April and I considered myself lucky.
Well, my luck ran out and I purchased this steamer. I am very pleased with this product. It is easy to use and works great. You have to work with it and find the right level of steam for your use.
I put it on full blast and just move my head an inch or two off of the plastic face piece.
It is well worth the money and it is small enough for you to keep out at all times. It will be a great product for traveling.
You can't beat it for the price.

Helps pneumonia recovery
|
| Review Date: February 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: J. David, Colorado |
This is a great little steamer. I am recovering from pneumonia due to inactivity following leg surgery.
In two days of use (3x daily for about 5 minutes) I feel MUCH better. It produces just the right amount of steam. The reservoir which I thought was too small will produce 15-20 minutes worth of steam with just a couple of ounces of tap water. Cleaning takes seconds, just let it cool and wipe it out with a clean towel.
Those who complain about it spilling water should have tried reading the instructions which clearly state that it must be placed on a solid surface and that water spillage IS likely if you don't. I have mine on a mobile computer cart next to my bed and lean over the unit with no problem at all. Medicated pads are a cute idea but it is pure steam that has the greatest benefit to respiration. $30 on this was worth more than the $50 I've had to spend on antibiotics and Mucinex so far. |

I read the reviews good and bad before and purchased and I'm
so glad I purchased the inhaler anyway. I was concerned about
the amount of steam the unit produced based on one review, and I assure you, his/her item must have been broken. The unit literally boils the water and produces alot of steam. As a matter of fact I turned the unit off because it got a bit too hot for me, then just enjoyed the leftover steam. I'm a singer and need a little compact unit like this to take with me. The face piece is so soft and very comfortable. Enjoy. |

| Reviewer: Glenn Again, SW, Fl USA |
| I really like this product and it helps me clear my stuffy nose. However, in a relatively short time, the who unit began to fall apart. The plastic literally caved in. I like it so much that I went out of my way to glue it all back together again with Gorilla Glue. Now I don't have problems with it PLUS I only used DISTILLED water in the unit. Unfortunatly, the instructions never said any type of water and I do believe this may have nearly done the unit in. So used distilled water. Also, the instructions say don't add anything to the water. However, I enjoy putting in the few drops of eucalyptus oil |

| Reviewer: H. G. Valladares, San Francisco, CA |
| I received my personal steamer yesterday and it really works...Online it says that you could use it for 15 minutes but when I timed it last night,I swear, you could use it for 30 minutes..unbelievable for a very small device but you can definitely use it that long...Also, I like the fact that I can carry it anywhere and that it doesn't moisten the whole room because the face mask blocks the steam from going everywhere and makes it focus on certain areas of your face. The only downside that I can see so far is that the face mask, the smell of plastic really annoys me but I think that's just because it's still new..maybe it'll fade away after using it several times. I also gave it 4 stars because I don't like the way it was designed.The container for the water is a bit smaller than I expected it but then again, it holds up enough water that will last you 30 minutes. And one last thing, you should make sure to put the device in a stable place.NEVER EVER put in on the bed because the hot water can spill since it has 2 holes on the side.I would have probably given it 5 stars and more if it were not for these two dislikeable features..but overall, it's worth every penny. |

| Reviewer: Eric Justusson, Ann Arbor, MI |
| I just received my personal steam inhaler yesterday. I've used it twice. It works as advertised and I really enjoy breathing in the hot steam. It is the same sensation as breathing in a sauna, steam room, or sweat lodge. It does a great job of clearing out my sinuses and is very relaxing. In the manual, they tell you to wipe it down after each use - which is OK but you have to wait for it to cool down first (minor inconvenience). It is a very simple machine but it seems to work well. It's a little bit awkward to store, though it's not very big. I just cleaned mine off each time and put it back in the box it came in. All in all I think it's pretty cool so far. |
Old fashioned remedies work

| Review Date: April 12, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Mac devotee, NW of Atlanta, GA |
Steam inhalation really is the way to go for sinus issues, colds, asthma and many respiratory issues. This sure beats standing over a pot of hot water on the stove with a towel over you!
I originally got a personal steamer for my daughter's asthma 13 years ago. It really helped when she had taken multiple doses of her bronchial dilator and was shaking from the medication, but still having trouble breathing. The warm mist really helped.
Later I used it for treatment of sinus and upper respiratory bugs. Now there is all kinds of research on the benefits of warm steam therapy.
Our Vicks finally died after a long and helpful life, so I replaced it with one just like it. I couldn't find one in the stores and was relieved to find it on Amazon.
Two picky notes: the steam is a bit hard to adjust - you end up leaning in or out to control the steam as much as using the dial control. Also, you need to make sure you clean it after a few uses and DEFINITELY when you are putting it away for a while. Mine might still be working if I had done that. |
Great product, needs re-engineering
|
| Review Date: October 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Diane, Alaska |
| We have owned this product for many years and have found it very effective in preventing and treating colds, bronchitis, and sinus infections. However, we owned the previously made product by KAZ and found it to be a much superior product for the same purpose. Sadly, Vicks bought the KAZ product and KAZ no longer makes the old version. The Vicks product plastic cone (that you put your face into) has an odd angle for face placement, and is too tall/high and easily tips, thus spilling boiling water onto your lap or chest. Be careful with this and wear a thick blanket "bib" to protect yourself from burns. Be sure to supervise children who use this product. We did not have this same stability problem with the KAZ made product. That being said. This product is still extremely effective in treating upper respiratory problems, much cheaper than medications and drugs, and much better for the body. Product states that you can put eucalyptus (mentholatum or vicks type products) into the water, but know that these products shuts down the cillia movement in the nasal passages and bronchial tubes, and is counterproductive. |

| This is a good product, converts water in to steam fast, easy to assemble and disassemble. The operation is quiet and is quite portable. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because it gives less steam although it does not matter after 7-10 minutes because the steam is so hot that you have to keep your head higher. I am hoping it helps me out this allergy season. |

Steam can help open sinus and chest
|
| Review Date: January 10, 2009 |
| Reviewer: T. Hale, |
I've been having trouble shaking a chest cold. Steam, especially medicated with VICKS is a big help. One point needs clarification. The steamer recommends (expensive) pads and recommends NOT using liquid VICKS for steamers.
However the VICKS liquid specifically says it is designed for steamers!
This steamer is easy to use and does what it says it will do. I used it with the pads. I have not yet dared to use it with the VICKS liquid - but will, one of these days.
I also use a steam room at the YMCA and carry a paper towel soaked with VICKS liquid in - to breath-through. That works well, also. |

| It is a good product overall, but you can't use anything except KAZ pads with this product. I have a cold and I want to use some medications (liquid and drops), but it doesn't allow to put anything into the water. Also it comes only with 1 menthol pad, so make sure that you ordered them as well. It says that you need to use more than 1 pad or put 1 pad into the water under the cup. Also you can't use them more than once. Pack of 6 pads is $7. It is the same system like with toners for printers. Even if the printer is cheap, toner will eat all the money. |

I found that there wasn't enough steam produced to be effective! I have bad sinus allergies and my doctor recommended I inhale steam either in a steam room or through a device to help cleanse my sinus cavities.
When I saw this on Amazon I thought it would be perfect; small, light weight and I could really isolate the steam to my nasal area.
Well it doesn't produce enough steam for anything!! I don't know how any of the people who have reviewed the product were able to loosen congestion. It was a complete lack of money and now it is just stored under a cabinet somewhere.
If you are looking for a product that produces a lot of steam, then SKIP THIS ONE!!! |
So-so steam production

| Doesn't do much of what you want it for. Puts out a lot of very hot air (even capable of burning the face.) However, I would like more actual steam to come out. |

| Great for opening up your sinuses,but cheap plastic housing fell apart after one month. Made in China-do I have to say more? |

| Kind of a disappointing product. Not much steam and not so easy to stand over and breathe because of the small amount of steam. In order to get much steam you really have to rest your face on the mask part which the instructions tell you not to do. I would not purchase again. The product itself seems well enough constructed. |
The steam is way too hot

| Even on the lowest setting the steam is so hot that it feels like it's burning my face. |
