Mypurmist Cordless Ultrapure Steam Inhaler - Handheld Steamer, Vaporizer & Humidifier for Sinus Relief, Nasal Congestion, Cold & Cough, & Vocal Care for Singers (Base Kit)

Purchased from Amazon received item , removed from box read directions filled with fluid and charged for 2 hours, tried to turn on but would not work, all I see is a flash of light when I plug into charger, not happy someone needs to contact meThe manufacture contacted me and resolved my issue, they were very polite and would send me a replacement. Very happy and can’t wait to use product, very satisfied

I very rarely write reviews, but this product solves such a unique issue in my life and I’m so happy haha. I’m a “professional” singer and I regularly use vocal steamers for general localized hydration. This kind of thing really helps with post nasal drip, sickness, dryness, etc. Emphasis on sickness, as a singer.But, the issue I have with other steamers, like the Vicks Nasal Steamer, is that you have to plug them in. But worse than that, it takes a few minutes to actually get going. Minutes you often don’t have. There have been times when I’ve been sick, struggling to sing a show and you go on break seeking some relief. You’re there with no available outlet, at least not in private, and you have no time to wait for a traditional steamer to warm up. It’s literally the perfect solution.I will probably continue to use the old fashioned steamers at home, as they put out much more steam than this one. But there are literally no other battery powered, instantaneously working steamers like this. And while this steamer doesn’t put out the same amount of steam as other steamers, it certainly puts out enough for regular use. The battery generally lasts for one or two sessions. I can’t speak on durability and reliability yet.Also, just to comment on some other reviews I read prior to purchasing:1. It’s not too heavy or too big, it’s quite small and surprisingly light.2. My unit had no mildew smell to it, like one other reviewer commented.3. And as for those complaining about “having” purchasing the branded sterile water - just buy a plastic syringe and use your own sterile water from the grocery store. For those unaware, the water is inserted into a small slot on the back. Which could be annoying, but for longevity sake, I like it. I imagine that refill system causes less bacteria build up, but that’s just me speculating.

I live in a seasonally dry climate and have sinus problems so I thought this could be a solution for me. It seemed to be effective and worthwhile for that purpose. However, it stopped working after less than 2 weeks of their recommended use. It began to shut itself off shortly after turning itself on due to a lack of power and appeared to be shorting out or simply lacked the energy to power up and would not recharge.In addition, there is nothing *free* about this product as shown in its description because it had to be plugged in to be recharged after each use while it was working, and it is awkward and heavy to hold for 15 minutes, because there is no neck harness as had been provided with the original model (It has the same battery pack size as a cordless electric drill, the difference being that the drill battery retains its charge much longer than a single use). There is also nothing financially free about this item because it is 50 percent more expensive than their original model, but unlike their original, you cannot use distilled water with this product, only their very expensive vials of their special water and they appear to be the only ones designed to fit into the input of the purifier. In other words, you have to buy replacements from them.I have also since found out that there are other similar items available on Amazon, at least one of which is a well known brand name, at a much lower price. These unfortunately did not appear when I purchased the product because I searched for this specific product by name pursuant to a TV Ad for this product.

This device is wonderful. I love that it is cordless so I can use it anywhere. It delivers instant warm mist that is just the right temperature and it really helps the sinuses. Much better than bending over a bowl or pan to breath in the steam. Small and lightweight enough to hold with old arthritic hands. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it doesn't hold a charge long enough for two treatments. I use it for 15 minutes at a time twice a day and cannot get a second 15 minutes from it before it needs to be charged so I have to charge it twice a day. It is a bit expensive and the water refills are pricey, but I feel like the water is better for me to breathe.

Really great for stuffy nose and scratchy/hoarse throat! Easy to use especially when you don’t have time to sit for awhile in a steamy shower! Small and easy to take along with you on long or short trips

This is a really well designed quality piece. Really like how easy it is to just us at the bedside or on the go. No hassles. Self Cleaning.

Expensive but worth it. It’s convenient to use because I’m not tied down to any particular location. I charge it in the kitchen and use it in the livingroom sitting in my recliner.

Works great. But you are locked into using their sterile water which is expensive.
