I’ll try to keep this short. I recently had my second brain surgery in December 2024. The majority of the tumor was removed through my nose. This kind of surgery causes scabbing and “crusting”, and if not removed, can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.I bought a Navage system soon after surgery to help with cleaning out my nose/sinuses. Dr suggested I flush it out twice a day. While it works very well, it didn’t really remove scabs and crusting, just more of loose mucus. Sorry to be graphic, those who have experienced any kind of nose surgery I'm sure can relate.After some intense research, buying this steamer was a game changer. I didn’t think it was doing much when first used. Barely any steam came out. But the truth is it’s just enough. I steam for about 10-15 mins a couple of times a week and then flush with my navage system (using warm water) immediately after. HUGE difference! This steamer loosens up a lot and the Navage system pushes it out. Together both worth every penny.

I didn't see all the negative recent reviews until after I received and used this so I'll add my two cents.I rarely get sick but came down with a sinus infection and ordered this after having it in a wishlist and debating it for months. I like vick's vaporub but hate actually putting it on my skin, so thought this would be a good alternative. Here are my thoughts.Pros:- produces a nice, adequate amount of warm steam that is soothing on a dry throat or stuffy sinuses (people complaining that there isn't enough steam perhaps haven't considered that if there were plumes of visible steam coming out of this thing it'd scald your face off).- heats up relatively quickly and is easy to use- can double as a facial steamerCons:- it's corded, so not very portable. relatively minor, but still an inconvenience. I hadn't considered this when I purchased.- the unit gets pretty hot while running (nitpicky, but you'd want to be careful when a child is using it so they hold it in the right spot)- the vapo pads are advertised to last up to 8 hours in a vick's humidifier but there is no way to keep them from drying out between uses of the vaporizer to get the same longevity out of them. It'd be nice if they came in a small, resealable pouch, especially considering how pricey they areOther observations:- a few reviews I saw mentioned not being able to get the mouth piece back on in subsequent uses. I suspect this may be because they removed it while it was still warm, and because it's a soft plastic, it shrunk a bit as it cooled. Because of this, I have refrained from removing the mask portion until the unit has cooled, just in case.- I waited until this went on sale at $30 to scoop it up. It seems to get discounted fairly regularly, with $36 being the most common discounted price I saw while I had this on my wishlist. I still think that's a bit pricey for what it is, but as far as I can tell, it's the cheapest option for products in this class. If you want to save money and are ok not having warmth and moisture, the VapoInhaler will get you similar results at a fraction of the price.
