Crane Personal Sinus Steam Inhaler for Voice Crane Corded Personal Steam Inhaler, for Sinus, Congestion, Cough, & Cold Relief, Vapor Pad Compatible

A compact nebulizer that produces cool and heated mist. It uses proprietary Crane vaporpads that are smaller than most. It seems that you could trim another company’s pads and use them. The Crane pads currently come only in a nice eucalyptus and menthol scent. The device produces cool mist almost immediately and heated mist in about 30 seconds. There is no temperature control on the device but if it becomes uncomfortably warm you can reduce the temperature by pulling the mask away from your face slightly. Operation is cordless and the device is easy to use, clean and charge. It operates in 15 minute sessions before turning off automatically. A charge seems to last for 3 to 4 sessions.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this to help with a sinus infection. It worked very well 2-3 times and in the middle of using it, it just stopped working. It has a slight vibration to it while on. And I felt it suddenly stop as if the motor gave out. It no longer heats or produces steam. I am currently trying to find a way to get my money back for it. When I went to initiate a return, I was told it was non-returnable. I am absolutely livid about it!!! I was sold a defective product and now they’re saying I can’t return it!? That is unacceptable. I went with this brand over the more popular Vick’s brand because it was slightly cheaper. BIG mistake! Hopefully I will get this sorted out. But in the meantime I don’t have what I need for relief from sinus pain. I am just sick about it. :( DO NOT BUY!! Wasted myTime and money on this. I hardly ever write reviews. But I am so very upset about this.

great,for sinus, helps alot

I deal with allergies and congestion most of the year. I bought this because I was looking for something portable and not clunky. When I first placed the order, the box was opened and the product was used. Water tank had water residue, face masks were oily with skin on them, the charger was out of the original packaging and the unit was on. I called Amazon immediately and they shipped me another one which arrived 7 days later. The unit delivers an ultra fine mist and keeps my nasal passages from drying up. It also helped with the congestion I had. I added a little salt and I got better results with the mist (I am not recommending anyone to do this. To each their own). I have big hands, so it makes holding it a little difficult but I got what I asked for! I ordered another one for my wife as she likes the product too. I gave this 4 stars because the of the experience I had on the initial unit. Other than that I would give it a 4.5 star rating if possible.

Economical

I had high hopes for this steam inhaler, but am disappointed by the volume and temperature of the steam it produces, even on the higher setting. I did not realize (which is my bad) that the item is not returnable, which is very disappointing given how expensive it is. Its portability is nice. However, after purchasing a Vick's inhaler that you have to plug in and produces a bounty of warm steam, I can't say that portability outweighs deficiencies of other features.

When I get a cold, the congestion is bad enough that I run out of breath trying to cough. I have found that warm moist air is the only thing that helps. The Crane EE-5948 Inhaler makes it EASY to stop my cough.I love that it takes regular water instead of cartidges. I user filtered water since our town supply is very hard. I just fill it at our filtered tap and take it with me during the day. It has never leaked, and a single fill is good for about four or five 15 minute sessions.Battery life is great. On a single recharge I can get 3 or 4 sessions of warm mist on the high setting. Which means I can fill it and charge it once a day under most conditions. During the active part of a cold I may need to charge twice a day.When it is not being used, I push the silicone mask back over the body of the unit to make it more compact and speed drying.The mist is comfortably warm. I might like it a bit warmer, but it is warm enough to stop my cough. I don't use it on cool mist, so I can't comment on that.In summary, Crane EE-5948 Inhaler is a great product at a great price. I strongly recommend it.

Sadly in preparation for Covid complications, i ordered 5/6 of these for family members to be prepared/proactive instead of reactive if this would affect us. This weekend was my moment of glory and as i pulled this out to clear my lungs, found this barely even produces anything. Barely even a puff. I had a backup device that was $30 that i also purchased on amazon and even though the mouth piece is not as nice as this unit, the steam it produces is phenominal. I am surely saddened to have talked all my family into purchasing this device. Surely paying more does not mean you get your moneys worth. There is no place to write the vendor
