Product Reviews of Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler
Product Review: Not that great!
Summary: 2 Stars
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!!!
Product Review: OK ...

Steam generation was less vigorous than i hoped for - but at least repeated use does NOT redden your face or nose. Huge downside is needs specialized & Expensive medicated pads - 6 for $7 . Will not let us use regular Vicks or liquid vicks medicated additive. Anyone looking for just steam should be the only one buying. Otherwise should pass. Smaller in size than expected ...Product Review: Old fashioned remedies work

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.

This Vicks product delivers steam as advertised, is recommended by voice therapists and is truly helpful for voice therapy. Just remember to wear a visor when you use it or you will be guaranteed a bad hair day.Product Review: Personal Steam Inhaler works great

After reading some of the reviews I was concerned that I might not get enough steam from the unit. I bought it and I am glad that I did. It works well and produces an adequate amount of steam. It is also constructed well. I would buy it again.
