How worthless? Let me count the ways, unless you are a child, the fit does not fit. This is not an electrical device and you are only allowed to use hot tap water, about a cup's worth, so there is no steam. Save yourself a bit of money and have a hot cup of tea, it will surely produce more steam than this ill-conceived gizmo.

This is not as big as it looks in the picture. It is tiny! You have to heat up the water yourself separately and then pour it into this piece of junk. There is no electric heating. Stay away from this.Best Deals for Vicks V1300 Portable Steam Therapy
After reading the reviews here I wondered why on earth I had purchased this contraption. But I decided to give it a try because I had a VERY stuffy nose, it was late at night, and I was desperate. When I breathed in the vapors as indicated by the illustration on the directions not much happened. Then I tried placing my face/mouth directly on the unit creating a "seal" and breathing in deeply. The medicated vapors flooded my throat and lungs and then to my surprise I was instantly able to breathe freely through my nose! After six days of dealing with an incredibly stuffy nose, this seemed like a miracle to me! The relief was temporary but could be attained again by repeating the process. It really did help to open my nose, cool my throat, and quiet my cough. This will be coming along with me on vacation next week!Honest reviews on Vicks V1300 Portable Steam Therapy
I bought this product for my husband, his cold had aggravated his bronchials, giving him a slight asthmatic cough. He loves it! The trick is how to use this. I heat water up until hot in the microwave, add it to the bottom cup and then add about a teaspoon of salt and the Vicks pad. Then he holds the product over his mouth, covers the little air intake hole in the back and draws on the vapor slightly. He then releases his finger over the intake and this allows him to pull the vapor deep into his lungs. If he just breathes it without these measures, it's not that effective. It fits perfectly over your mouth. I don't think I'd use it for a stuffy nose, but it's perfect for a cough.He awoke twice last night, and for the previous week he had awoken 6+ times a night. He used it both times, and even though the water had cooled, he said it still worked well enough for him to quiet his cough and get back to sleep quickly. He told me this morning he feels like a million bucks. It saved him a trip to the docs and the asthma and steroid meds he usually gets stuck with. He took it to work and its perfect for us because it there's no cord and no batteries, just hot water. I highly recommend it!
