 Best Bang For The Buck! Jan 24, 2007
By Jimmy Dean
"Jimmy"
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!

A Must Have for Singers and Speakers Nov 17, 2005
By Beth Botsis
This great little device is an essential for singers and speakers, especially those who suffer allergies. (Allergy sufferers who aren't singers or speakers would benefit too.) Steam is the number 1 treatment prescribed by my otolaryngologist when experiencing allergy, cold, or other respiratory/vocal symptoms. My personal steamer travels easily with me, tucked into the corner of a carry-on size suitcase. When you're on the road presenting or performing, it can be a life saver. Much better than a towel over your head and a pan of boiling water too (and safer). I recommend personal steamers to all my voice students. It's true, as another reviewer wrote, that you can buy this less expensively at your local WalMart or Target store, but even at this price, it's a winner.

I LOVE it! Jun 08, 2005
By Leslie Solomon
"1st Grade Teacher"
I received my personal steamer today; it's compact, requires no assembly, is easy to use and the flow of steam is adjustable. The face mask is relatively comfortable and it was relaxing to inhale warm, moist air during the treatment. Cleaning instructions appear to be simple. As promised, sinus and chest congestion were loosened during the first treatment. I highly recommend this product.

Awesome Product Apr 18, 2006
By Angelsing
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.

Great Product But Won't Last Long If Your Not Careful Nov 29, 2006
By Glenn Again
I really like this product and it helps me clear my stuffy nose. However, in a relatively short time, the who unit began to fall apart. The plastic literally caved in. I like it so much that I went out of my way to glue it all back together again with Gorilla Glue. Now I don't have problems with it PLUS I only used DISTILLED water in the unit. Unfortunatly, the instructions never said any type of water and I do believe this may have nearly done the unit in. So used distilled water. Also, the instructions say don't add anything to the water. However, I enjoy putting in the few drops of eucalyptus oil
