Vicks Waterless Menthol Vaporizer for Adults, 5 Pads

Me gusta como funciona

This is big! This is the model that sits on a table, not the one that plugs directly into the wall outlet. I just got it in the mail today and I am surprised at how big it is. It is 5 inches by 5 inches, easily. It comes with these little medicated pads that feel dry but that give off this very strong scent if you turn the machine on high. I did, and I had to turn it down, because I found the smell too overpowering. I tested it this way because several people said they had a hard time smelling the scent. They must have had a bad cold at the time because I had no problem at all.Also, even though they tell you not to, you can use the pads that come with it again and again instead of buying expensive replacement pads, just refresh them with a few drops of essential oil. I bought a bottle of pure menthol and eucalyptus essential oil blend (with nothing else added)for this reason. And because I do not care very much for the smell of the pads that came with the machine (it is a slightly different blend), I put a couple of drops of the menthol eucalyptus blend right on the pad that is in the machine now.It is strong enough that I can smell it even in the next room.As you can use any essential oils you want for different scents, in these machines, I also bought some empty pads from the vapor-eze website, as it is cheaper than anyplace else I have seen. These too can be used again and again. This way I can switch pads and switch scents (the smell of the oil stays in the pads so you should only use a pad for one oil or oil blend). You are not supposed to touch any essential oils but you only dab a few drops on a pad and you never touch the oil at all, so it is no problem.This is a nice, cheap, aromatherapy machine. You do not have to use the pads that come with it and you do not have to buy expensive replacement pads. I am only sorry I did not buy it sooner as I have been struggling with walking pneumonia for nearly a month and am almost over it now. The machine could have helped a lot. By me, it is not sold in any brick and mortar store, so I finally took a chance and bought it sight unseen online. I am glad I did.

I like that there is no steam to burn yourself on and that it doesn't make noises like the ones that take water do. It works well, the vapors fill one whole room 12x12 ish. I use the vaposteam liquid to moisten the pads and it does great. Wish I had bought this sooner!

El producto está abierto la caja como que si eso es usado

Smaller snd less space it holds 2 pads. I only use one. It will really open the sinuses with 2 pads.It does not have an on off switchYou have to unplug it every time you’re done with it.

I ordered this product because the larger images on the listing showed a slider for off/high/low settings (model 1900). The model I have requires being unplugged to shut off (model 1800). I received the same model I have instead of the one I wanted (which I can get locally for less than half the price). Vicks was good enough to refund me so at least now I have a backup but it's not the product I wanted. If you're looking for the adjustable settings, look elsewhere.As a note, I use mine daily and have had it less than a six months and several of the little plastic tabs have broken. Also, the refills are slightly too big so you can't close the product securely. It does put out enough vapors to help me sleep and the issues don't seem to affect its function so it's still very useful.

Great product

It is a powerful little machine...fills my whole room with the scent.
