Product Reviews of Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler
Product Review: Great help after quitting smoking!
Summary: 5 Stars
This little thing is amazing! A month after I quit smoking, I was feeling a lot worse, which is apparently normal. I was having a hard time with shortness of breath and with getting the rumble out of my chest, instead I would have a dry/painful cough. I just about freaked out, went to my gynecologist. Long story short, the doc gave me antibiotics, had an appointment with gyno the day after and he is the one that gave me the best advice. He said to take mucinex and get one of those steam inhalers. I got this one and used it everynight for about three weeks. It gave me instant gratification, my lungs started to let go of the crap from 14 years of smoking. I still use it when I feel out of breath. I bought it 6 months ago and it's still kickin! I just bought another one for my dad who just quit smoking a month ago and started running into the same breathing/cough problems. Luck to you pop!Product Review: Great ornament

We ordered two Vicks Steam Inhalers and they arrived quickly and in good condition. Unfortunately we live in Australia (240 volt) and they came with an American plug (not a big problem) and American voltage - 120 volt (major problem). We emailed the service centre and received no response (zilch, nothing, not even sorry we can't help). So if you would like two ornamental Vicks inhalers please drop me a line.Product Review: Great product

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.Product Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to use this for my sinus problem while I was pregnant.
It's very soothing, and my face was very moist after the use too. It's very compact and very cheap for this quality of product. 4 stars just because it's easy to spill the water when you are carrying this.
Product Review: Great product, needs re-engineering
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
