Product Description

Editorial Review

When babies have respiratory or nasal congestion, vaporizers can help alleviate discomfort by adding soothing moisture into the dry indoor air of a bedroom. This vaporizer's 2-gallon capacity allows it to produce steam for approximately 24 to 32 hours. (It automatically stops producing steam when the water level goes below .75 inch.) A tester found that the steam was sluggish until a few pinches of salt were added to the water (a trick suggested by the manufacturer). The electrical heating unit detaches from the water holder, making cleanup easy--an important daily chore for preventing mineral buildup and stains. Comes with a built-in nightlight and a small tray for holding vaporizer medications.

Safety note: Once children can get out of bed on their own bedroom vaporizers can become hazardous, as they produce hot steam that can cause serious burns if the unit is knocked over. Be sure to keep cord and vaporizer far from baby's reach. --Hannah Reynolds

This is a very nice vaporizer. You do have to use the pinch of salt as indicated by the manufacturer, but that's about it. It runs like a dream and is great for a baby's room. I clean mine nightly before using it because I just don't want to have to worry about bacteria build-up. It's very quiet, does the job, and I've used it myself for colds. A very nice investment for a good product.

This product is very helpful to my little ones. At night when they are sleeping, this vaporizer keeps the air most and helps them sleep better by keeping the air moist. I highly reccommend this product to everyone with a newborn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, February 6, 2003

This review is from: 2.0G Vaporizer

I purchased this product in search of something to add moisture to the air in my congested baby's room. We live in Florida and usually it is humid, but not in the winter when we are constantly running the heater. Our water is hard so we didn't have to add salt as the directions describe. This vaporizer runs for about 24 hours without refilling. It has a nice carrying handle and an easy to see fill line. You can easily fill it in your tub in an upright position while holding the handle with one hand. It is quiet and seems to provide a nice white noise for sleeping. It was a great price considering how much you could pay for a humidifier and the filters for one. There is no filter involved here. It keeps my baby's room slightly warmer because of the warm mist. I'm told humidifiers make the room colder, so this product is ideal for the winter season. The only downfall of this product is that you have to be careful to keep kids away, because the mist is hot.
