Product Reviews of Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler
Product Review: It works great. I hope it lasts.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Product Review: Works Great

This is my second inhaler. I use it twice a day when I am having bronchitis and asthma. It helps open my head and moisturizes my nostrils and makes me feel so much better. I use the menthol strips with it also.Product Review: Vicks Steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
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.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!
