I will say it does get hot when you put your face in it for a long time but I would suggest putting a small part of a blanket under your chin to help with that. It works for me!
It is easy to assemble & take apart for cleaning. The vents are a unique feature & I did prefer having them wide open to get the most in the shortest time. Did wrap a small washcloth around cone to increase containment of steam.
USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE PLASTIC EDGES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CONE & SOMEWHAT ON THE TOP OF CONE ARE SOMEWHAT "SHARP" TO THE TOUCH. THE BOTTOM EDGES (ESPECIALLY WHEN CLEANING) SHOULD BE MUCH SMOOTHER. THE CORNERS ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT YOUR FINGERS!
THAT FAULT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED CONSIDERING THE PRICE!
Cons: Requires care to avoid steam burns which is partially accomplished by continually adjusting the distance between your face and the mask. Mild plastic smell. Needs an auto shutoff.
Other: I do not consider the restriction to place steamer on a water resistant table or other stable flat surface as a con. At this price I don't expect extensive safety features required to keep from spilling boiling water on the user when hand-held. I might pay a few dollars more for a timer or auto-shutoff.
I bought this to relieve congested sinuses. I did not use any of the Vicks add-in fragrances. I followed the directions carefully, including NOT pressing my face against the soft mask at the top AND NOT hand-holding the device (set on a non-movable waterproof surface). I also used the adjustment lever to cut the steam to my face to about 30% of wide open. The steam loosened my sinus congestion and the relief lasted for a couple of hours. I was pleased that this part worked as expected.
So far, I have not experienced any cracking in the plastic that other reviewers have described. I checked with my doctor, and he said he could see not harm in using it for a few days at a time. Originally, I intended to use this each evening and each morning for congestion. I had one mishap. I put water in the steamer and turned it on the heat (3-5 minutes). Unfortunately, when I sat down to wait, I feel asleep, and the device ran dry. We have a lot of calcium in our water and the calcium deposits peeled away from the center heating element. However, I could see no cracks or other damage to the interior of the water reservoir. When I tried the steamer, it worked perfectly, and the plastic smell was lighter or unchanged.
Concerns: The mild plastic odor suggest that some chemical is released by the steamer.
Suggestions to the manufacturer: The reservoir is very small, and so the steamer needs an auto shutoff in case it runs dry. Also a beep to indicate that the reservoir is up to steam-producing temperature would be useful. I would like a timer or perhaps beeps sounded at 5 minute intervals to help time how long I've been breathing steam.
I deducted one star for the plastic odor and another star for not having a run-dry shutoff.
Top reviews from other countries
Makes a lot of steam and fast. I had it closed as far as it goes and still had more then I needed.
The product also came with one packet of a eucalyptus soaked pad that fits into one of the two slots in the steam chamber.
Definitely recommend this product.
