 Good inhaler, but it could have a medication cupNov 20, 2009
It is a good product overall, but you can't use anything except KAZ pads with this product. I have a cold and I want to use some medications (liquid and drops), but it doesn't allow to put anything into the water. Also it comes only with 1 menthol pad, so make sure that you ordered them as well. It says that you need to use more than 1 pad or put 1 pad into the water under the cup. Also you can't use them more than once. Pack of 6 pads is $7. It is the same system like with toners for printers. Even if the printer is cheap, toner will eat all the money.

Great product, needs re-engineeringOct 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.

 Works GREAT!Oct 16, 2009
Great little health accessory that serves its purpose well. Helps clear out congestion and keep my sinus moist.

 where's the steam??Jun 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 okMay 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.
