Best Steam Inhalers in the UK

Beurer is the leading company in Europe that produces high-quality electronics products for improving your health. With nearly 100 years of experience, the company offers a vast range of products for general well-being, and the Beurer FS50 Facial Sauna is one of them.

Engineered in Germany, the build quality of the device is hard to beat. The aluminium vaporiser pot is made to last, so you can expect a long life of the whole device.

It's a premium 3-in-1 unit that deftly houses a facial sauna, steam inhaler and aromatherapy diffuser in a compact body. When used as a facial sauna, it effectively moisturises your skin and opens the pores. As a result, you'll be able to perform an intensive cleansing of your face. In addition to that, the steam enhances circulation in your skin and gives your face a healthy, radiant glow.

As mentioned, the device is also very helpful for both nasal and sinus congestion. It comes with a small nasal attachment and has a powerful heating element that boils water. The ergonomically-designed inhaler attachment placed over the reservoir can capture all the steam and funnel it to your face. Depending on your problems, you can control the amount of steam with the adjustable control knob that lets you choose high or low steam jet.

And lastly, you can add aromatherapy oils into the container to turn this electric steam inhaler into an oil diffuser to pamper yourself with soothing relief.

All things considered, it's definitely one of the best steamers you can find on the market. Being ultimately versatile and stoutly-built, it can deliver you triple effect: glowing skin, unclogged sinuses, and soothing mind are guaranteed.

At a glance, it becomes obvious that the DR NELSON’s Steam Inhaler looks nothing like other models on our shortlist. It's not that bulky and is carefully made from ceramic rather than plastic. Actually, it's handmade by The Denby Pottery Company Ltd in Britain and is currently one of the best inhalers you can find on the market. Moreover, it boasts the authentic vocal steam inhaler design developed by the famous doctor Nelson more than 150 years ago. That's why this one-of-a-kind product is able to soothe irritated vocal cords and ease hay fever symptoms like no other. Due to its extra-powerful inhalation therapeutic effect, it also helps with flu, coughs, and colds as well as provides quick relief for nasal congestion and headaches. It introduces warm moist air to your lungs via the nose and throat as you inhale, thus, soothing irritation or inflammation.

The inhaler comes with a silicone mouthpiece stopper and a glass tube that can fit 250-ml, 500-ml, and 1-l models. The model under review comes with a 250-ml inhaler cup that is quite easy to handle. You can use the warm steam on its own or add some infusions such as throat pastilles, Vicks scent pads, or aromatherapy oils and herbs.

Bottom line, the DR NELSON’s Steam Inhaler is a bit pricey but it's a very classy-looking steamer that keeps the water hotter for longer compared to other units and works a treat on tired throats after singing. Plus, the mouthpiece allows the steam to go straight in your throat rather than all over your face (no red ridges on your nose). A perfect choice for singers.

Do you often suffer from heavy colds and coughs? Need a modern and affordable alternative to bowl and towel? Then you can't go wrong with the Rio Facial Sauna & Steamer. It's a great looking-product that won't break the bank but will provide you with instant relief. The inhaler is perfect for those who suffer from acute allergic sinusitis, tinnitus, and other issues, as well as for those who simply want to improve the condition of their skin. The thing is that it's a 2-in-1 product that acts both as a steam inhaler and a facial sauna to let you enjoy the spa treatment at the comfort of your own home. Coming with a full-face mask, the unit generates plenty of steam to open up the clogged pores, thus, removing impurities and cleansing the skin. As satisfied customers report, the skin becomes extra soft and clean.

Another great point is that this steamer comes with a separate nasal steaming attachment to help with sinuses/colds. It's ergonomically designed to fit your nose and mouth into it without directing steam into your eyes or making your face sweaty.

The device is also very easy to use - just insert the needed head, plug it in, and go. Optionally, you can use scented oils for soothing or unclogging sinuses. Also, you are free to vary the steam (high or low) to get complete control over the treatment. 

The steamer under review is a multipurpose device that addresses not only sinuses problems. It's a high-quality facial spa machine that can enhance your beauty and make you shine.

To begin with, the inhales comes with two attachments for your whole face and for your mouth and nose area. While the latter helps to deliver the concentrated mist of warm steam right to your mouth and nose to relieve sinus problems, the bigger nozzle moisturises your facial skin and softens it.

The power of steam can help promote the regeneration of collagen in your cells and activate its hydrophilic properties to provide tender and smoother results.

Additionally, the steam replenishes water balance, increases skin elasticity, and softens surface to remove grease from pores. Besides deep cleaning effect, the mist also can help your skin absorb nutrients better. This feature will be particularly beneficial for women that often apply facial creams or masks.

To run the unit, all you need to do is pour 50 ml of water into the base, align a needed mask at the bottom of the slot, and turn on the power. Depending on your requirements, you can choose either 1 or 2 intensity level. That's all you should do to get a smoother and healthier skin.

So, if you're looking for a simple and effective solution to bring back radiance and youth to your skin, the steamer from HUADEYI is likely to catch your fancy.

The Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler is completely different compared to other models in our review. The main highlight of this vapouriser is that it requires no power supply at all.

Designed to work similarly to the a-bowl-and-a-towel method, it can quickly get the vapours right to your nose without you having to go through the whole sweating process.

In fact, this item is not intended to be used for steam inhalation at all. Designed by Vicks, a well-known manufacturer of products easing your breath, the inhaler can bring you immediate relief. All you need for that is very hot water (not boiling) and a VapoPad.

To start inhaling, you should fill the item with water and throw a tablet into it. It will quickly dissolve and give off the vapours you can inhale through a well-fitting face mask. One tab lasts for quite a long time - 8 hours. Moreover, you can still get a slight Vicks smell throughout 24 hours after dropping the tab into the unit. Though, you won't get that initial overpowering kick.

The box already includes two VapoPads so that you can combat the blocked nose right out-of-the-box. One pad can be used for one time only, but Vicks pads are quite cheap to replace and are easily available at chemists and stores. They all have different scents and release a strong vapour that eases your breathing quickly.

In a word, the Vicks Personal Steamer offers a completely different approach to inhalation. It's small, simple, neat, and more importantly, electricity-free. It works with famous Vicks VapoPads that do a great job of clearing a blocked nose.
