Product Reviews of Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler
Product Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 4 Stars
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.

Product Review: Best Bang For The Buck!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Product Review: Buy this unit if you are going to have sinus surgery
Summary: 4 Stars
Talk with your doctor to be sure it is ok with him/her.
If you are scheduled for sinus surgery you are going to be required to do a sinus irrigation every eight (8) hours after the surgery. This unit helps tremendously. I used it in the past for colds so I had one on hand. It boils water so it is dangerous and you can get burned if the water spills on you. Good luck with your sinus surgery.
Product Review: Careful not to spill if you DO hold it by hand.
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, yes, the instructions do say to keep on a flat solid surface. Yea, right..! If you're feeling like crud, you're going to want to stick your face in this while lying back on the sofa or something. And you can do it. It works. But you need to be careful. The water you will spill on you if you tilt it is hot. Not scalding, but hot enough to make you jump.
So other than that, the steam is really good. I like that I can use it without the medicated pad. I tried it, and that WAS nice, but more something I'd consider if I was sick with a cold and not just allergies. I imagine as the winter goes on that this will become a major item at my home and we'll need ot invest in a second one.
