Product Description
Patented self regulation heater with soothing steam penetration to nasal, sinus and throat passages |
Amazon.com
For cold, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, and allergy sufferers, this personal steam inhaler restores sufficient moisture to the lungs and respiratory tract. The patented plastic hood is contoured to cradle the face comfortably and directs warm moist air right into the nose and throat to temporarily relieve nasal, sinus, and chest congestion. Water goes into the unit’s easy-to-fill base where a patented heater gently boils it. The adjustable control lets you choose the amount of steam that rises up into the hood. A short 5- to 15-minute treatment is all that is required to make nasal and throat passages feel clearer. This small inhaler is compact for easy storage or travel to work or abroad and has dual voltage for use anywhere in the world. For enhanced relief from cold/flu symptoms, this inhaler is compatible with Kaz Aromatic Inhalant Pads, which release soothing menthol and eucalyptus vapors. This steam inhaler is covered by a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde |

Great product, needs re-engineering by Diane (Alaska)  4 Stars
October 22, 2009
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.

where's the steam?? by Reviewer 123 (Sacramento CA)  1 Stars
June 21, 2009
Kind of a disappointing product. Not much steam and not so easy to stand over and breathe because of the small amount of steam. In order to get much steam you really have to rest your face on the mask part which the instructions tell you not to do. I would not purchase again. The product itself seems well enough constructed.

its ok by Akubi (TX)  3 Stars
May 23, 2009
I bought this for my son. Its very easy to spill hot water inside. You can't rest your face on it because it gets too hot. I wish that I had spend more money and bought inhaler which could control the steam temperature.
