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!
PROS: inexpensive to purchase, inexpensive to run (energy-wise), variable steam output, comfortable face mask, portable.
CONS: this is probably the fault of the packaging, but my plastic face mask was permanently bent away from the proper ergonomic shape for the face, but luckily the plastic is soft enough to conform to any shape, just a bit less comfortable than I'd hoped. The steam can get a little to hot to bear, and there's no way to monitor the temperature, but there is a lever to adjust the volume of steam that is released. I also wish that the electrical cord was longer, because it says to not use an extension cord. This can sometimes be annoying, because you have to set up the unit close enough to an outlet.
On 4/12 and 4/13, I was having severe problems breathing, but was too weak to go to urgent care to get help. I used a liquid supplement called respiratory complex that I get at Whole Foods Market along with Oregano oil and Olive leaf extract (extremely strong--recommend the capsules) in addition to other supplements. Those helped, but I did finally go to urgent care (no choice, had to get a doctor's excuse for work) and had treatments there for a few hours.
Even after all the supplements, treatments and prescriptions, I noticed a significant difference after using this vaporizer, even more so with the Kaz pads. I only wish that I had known years ago about using these vaporizers for symptoms of bronchitis. It could have alleviated symptoms and prevented a lot of suffering. I've had bronchitis many times and pneumonia a few times, starting at 4 years old. I've never smoked. Perhaps it was as a result of breathing smog in Southern California. It was a lot worse in the 1960's when I first was struck with respiratory problems.
I highly recommend this vaporizer with the Kaz pads for temporarily alleviating the symptoms of bronchitis--especially for opening up the breathing passages and reducing coughing.
Just a few minutes ago, I added eucalyptus oil to the Kaz pad, even though they advise against it. I used the vaporizer with this pad and it helped. I do recommend, as another reviewer noted, keeping your eyes closed when using oils on the pad. They are quite strong and best to keep out of your eyes. They also have Vick's Vaposteam, designed to be used with vaporizers. That's obviously not pure water. (I haven't had a chance to use it as it hasn't arrived yet, even though it was ordered at the same time).
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.
