KAZV12006VV1EA - Vicks Personal Electric Steam Inhaler

I've been congested for several days with a really bad cold. I'm about 7 months pregnant and I didn't want to take any meds so I found this! I see that people on here complain about the steam control and how it gets really hot. What I do is cover myself with a small blanket or towel under with the steamer and I don't really put my face in it unless I don't want to. But it works perfectly fine. It's like I'm sauning just my face lol and I do use the vicks pad. So for those who has trouble breathing it because its too hot. I recommend trying it under a blanket. It might be better. Hope everybody feels better cause I am ;)

This replaces a similar unit used to protect my wife's voice, especially for singing. It replaces a similar unit that was no longer available. The new steamer is working beautifully.

This product helped to clear some congestion. During use, it provided a warm feeling all over. It made me sleepy a couple of times. Used only plain water so far.

Really works great.. But like advertised it does really get hot if you hold your face real close to the mask

I have used an older version of this personal steam inhaler for over 10 years every time my sinuses started acting up. I am very please with the updated version. The quality is good and It produces a tremendous amount of steam. The steam is adjustable and because I like to put my face completely in the mask I need to turn it way down otherwise its way too hot. This is meant to be used on a stable surface so the boiling water does spill on you. I tried to use a neti pot but I worry about the distilled water and cleanliness. I use tap water with the steamer and do not have to worry about that. I highly recommend this steamer.

This is a handy and easy-to-use inhaler for a quick breathing treatment. I don't have any major breathing issues, so I can't speak to its effectiveness for serious conditions, but it has helped a great deal with the congestion I get associated with dry conditions and allergies. It's not hard to figure out how to use, and you can adjust the amount of steam you get. You can also add vapo-pads if you want, but it's not necessary. Overall, for this price, I found it a worthwhile purchase and would buy it again.

Pros: It gives a lot of steam and the steam lasts long enough for me (about 15-20 minutes). Cons: It gets way too hot to keep my face in the mask. I have to pull my face away from the mask or I feel like it's burning my skin even when the Vent Lever is at the lowest setting.

I bought this machine for my mom it was recomended by her doctor for sinus problems works well did not have problems finding where the pads go like others have said she finds that if you put it on the lowest setting and you don't put yourself too close to the machine you won't get the risk of burning.

It's a nice idea. I really need this inhaler for my stuffed up nose and sinuses. I had it's predecessor, The Kaz Inhaler which I loved. There is only one thing wrong with this. The adjustable steam vents only close up just so far to decrease the amount of steam. while holding my nose and mouth area gently against the plastic "hood" it got too hot. After about three uses the skin on the tip of my nose and on the edges of my nostrils got sore and slightly burned from the steam. I now just "hover" over the "hood" and it seems to work for me this way. Perhaps the manufacturer will read this and make an improvement. The old Kaz inhaler closed up completely.

It was not giving good enough amount of steam. Took more than 5 min to heat up. The vicks pack inside was opened and the content was missing.
