Customer Reviews of Vicks V1300 Portable Steam Therapy
Customer Review: This works & has advantages over electric. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have submitted this review because the product is easily dismissed as a waste of money. It is not. No, the Steam Inhaler is not electric. No, it isn't meant for use with boiling hot water. No, you might not get steam (although you can if you want). Yes, it's basically a cup. But it does a fantastic job--if you know how to use it.
I followed the directions exactly--even using tap water. Bear in mind one's hot tap temperature will vary from another's, depending on the water heater settings. (Perhaps some negative reviewers don't have very hot tap water.) If you want the best results, you could always heat water to simmering temps in a water kettle or microwave. You WILL get steam this way.
The only thing that isn't specified in the instructions is how closely to hold the Inhaler to the face. If you follow the pictures on the box, you won't get optimal effects. So here's where you need to improvise: Put the Inhaler directly against your face, and it does exactly what you would want. This is also why the Inhaler isn't merely a cup. The funnel at the top concentrates the vapor/steam directly on the nose and mouth and keeps it away from the eyes. This feature alone is absolutely worth the $7-10 you'll spend on the product. While I'm sure some faces fit better than others, I suspect there are very few faces on which this product wouldn't work.
Lastly, one HUGE advantage this product has over others with heating or steam-generating features is portability. You can take this thing anywhere without needing to worry about plugging in. I take it EVERYWHERE with me in the house. You can also travel with it anywhere you can get hot tap water. For portability, this thing is a killer product.
If you get the Inhaler knowing what to expect and how to get the best results, you will probably be very satisfied.
