Vicks Sinus Inhaler - VH200

Bought this as suffer from sinusitis, liked the idea of convenience, nice compact machine sits on the bed side, sturdy make and easy to use works well and gives a good amount of steam, Using it every night which is why I wanted convenience tried both the menthol and rosemary and liked them both although the rosemary fragrance in the room is pushing it to favourite

I would not recommend this product. It is poor value for money and does not produce adequate steam to provide any meaningful relief. Even after following the instructions exactly, the amount of vapour generated is extremely minimal and ineffective. A simple traditional steam inhalation (hot water bowl with a towel) works far better and costs nothing. Unfortunately, this device does not justify its price or purpose.

Great product

This works well. Make sure the vents on the bottom are clear, I've added abrasive scrubbing pads. I added Vicks vap rub to 2 of the sticks & works well, I have spares but tested this. I also use it to moisturise my ciggies, cause a cough due to dry Ciggie smoke. DO NOT Put salted water in this. I don't care what they say. It clogs up the transducer. UPDATE: I have just found out that the water level is critical, switch it off with the water at max & now it is Steaming?? So try switching it off, few seconds, the back on. Yes it works very well. Recommended Updates coming.

Followed instructions - only needs 2.5 tablespoons of water in it. Took ages to heat up, so I thought I had a faulty product. Suddenly, it started to produce some steam, but nothing of any real power. You can adjust the steam with a very basic hand control, but it does feel very cheaply made for the price. I had a struggle to fit the face guard as well, it was as if it was not made for the machine. I received 2 Vick pads/filters to insert into a drawer, but they didn't seem strong enough and I would probably benefit more from using a hot bowl and a towel over my head. Make sure that you leave it unplugged for a good while before emptying after use as it remains very hot - as I found out. It's ok for occasional use, but not for very heavy congestion.

We love this inhaler does unblock you airways

Been recommended to buy something like this as suffering with chest infections and nasty cough. This definitely makes the suffering easier, though it doesn’t cure it. I’d say the pads are a bit pricey for that they don’t last long, having to change every 8 hours at the max. so if using long term you’d go through them quickly. The inhaler is very easy to set up and there is clear guide book included on how to set up and how to use it. Unit has to be plugged in while in use so need to make sure you have flat surface near an outlet socket (as the unit shouldn’t be handheld or placed at an angle during use). You can also adjust intensity of the steam which is very easy to do with one button. Overall good product, I would recommend it, specially that it can be used as much as one needs instead of taking useless meds.

Utterly useless. The water reservoir is very small, it produces minimal steam and is empty in minutes. Also after filling the two and a half teaspoons of water that it takes to fill the reservoir, it is very difficult to screw the top back on. If you are thinking of buying one of these because (like me) you think it’s too much faff to use a bowl of hot water and towel over your head, do yourself a favour and stick with the bowl and towel.

It does not steam, but inhaling it with the minty pods is still satisfying

Recomiendo para ayudar a liberar vías aéreas superiores. En resfriados es mi mejor aliado, lo recomiendo 100%

Ho comprato il Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler con due dischetti profumati perché ero raffreddato e avevo il naso chiuso. È davvero facile da usare: riempi d’acqua, inserisci un dischetto profumato e in pochi minuti esce il vapore che aiuta a respirare meglio. Il vapore è caldo ma non troppo forte, quindi non dà fastidio, e i profumi (menta e eucalipto) danno una sensazione di sollievo. È comodo da tenere sul tavolo o sul comodino e non serve niente di complicato. Per me fa esattamente quello che promette: aiuta ad aprire il naso e a respirare meglio quando sei raffreddato. Lo consiglierei a chi ha naso chiuso o vuole un po’ di vapore calmante senza andare dal dottore.

great item
