BeurerSI40 Steam Inhaler | Soothing steam Treatment for The Upper Airways | Nebulisation of Saline Solutions and Essential Oils | Inhalation Therapy for Effective Relief from coughs and Congestion

Very easy to use and works great! The steam is strong and really helped with my sinus congestion. Compact, quick to heat up, and perfect for regular use. Highly recommended!

I bought this as I had accidentally dropped the mouthpiece for my Dr nelson inhaler - which is glass and therefore broke - and steaming is very important for vocal hygiene as a vocalist. This steamer is great in that you can opt for a fine mist therefore the particles are smaller which is better for your voice. It gets hot - so creat a little distance when steaming - and shuts off at a good time when you should stop steam - Over steaming is a thing.- I like that there is a section where you can add saline water. I’ve added a little on a couple of occasions as I sometime nebulise for my voice too. For the voice you only ever really want to steam with water but as I also use saline for my nebuliser again for my voice I thought I’d try the 2 together. It cools the steam as the saline comes through as a cool mist- Note that the saline doesn’t sustain for the duration of the full steam cycle - which creates a good temperature for steaming.I would recommend this product for vocalist or anyone who is in need of a steamer to help remove phlegm/ mucus in the throat or lungsThe steamer is also not too bulky it’s a good size. It did take me a while to work out a good way to remove the lid to put water in the section you need to put the water for steaming - which is separate to the section you put the saline - but I have worked out and easy way now and it’s great. It’s easy to clean and once you’ve finished steam you pour out the water that’s then collected in the area where the saline would be put.The only other thing is I could see a maximum line in the area where you put the water for steaming so I make sure I do not over fill it to be same but eye balling it and only filling it about 3/4 full.There is a slide in the front that controls how your steam comes out as a fine mist or heavier.I hope this helps, this is is a great product and does what it says it should do with easy use and cleaning.

The main thing is this works great. I'm suffering from nodules on my vocal cords, and the steam helps. It starts to steam very quickly, and its far less faff that steaming over a bowl or mug with a towel trying to stop the steam escaping. This means I can steam several times a day easily.As others have said, there are however a couple of suprisingly simple design flaws, hence the 4* instead of 5.1) the button to release the top is suprisingly fiddly/clumsy to press properly, which is annoying as you need to take the top off every time you use it, to refill the water reservoir. I am amazed they didn't design this better as it's nothing more complicated than a button to unclip one peice from the other.2) the 'Max' line in the reservoir is almost impossible to see without using a torch. The reservoir is pretty tiny (although enough to last sufficient time for a decent steam), so it only needs a small amount of water to refill. So you must not overfill, but equally you don't want to underfill as the steam would run out too soon. So you really do want to aim for the Max line. The problem is the reservoir is sunk into the machine, it's dark grey, and as the Max line and word is the same colour it's very difficuly to see. To begin with I had to use the torch on my phone to be able to see it. Now I've used it enough to be able to gauage accurately. You'd think this is subject an obvious thing it's suprising they didn't design this aspect better.Both these flaws give the impression the people who designed it have actually never used it! I will add that others have criticised the use of plastic in the reservoir, saying the steam smells etc. I can report that I smelt nothing, and I have no concerns in the aspect.So overall I'd recommend this steamer as I can't see anything better, and if you need one, functionally it works great. However they could make it even better, by fixing these two minor but irritating design flaws.

Ordered, read instructions which appeared to reference a different model, filled up, plugged in, light went on and started to heat up and then it broke within a minute. Organized a return and replacement. Exactly the same thing happened again. Stopped working completely after just a few seconds of being switched on for the first time and completely dead after that. Ended up just requesting a refund.
