I can't make a comparison with the Mypurmist inhaler as I haven't tried one . I can say though that I have have been using the Mabis for a few months now and it performs very well , given my goal was lots of steam and the ability to use tea tree oil and the Mabis does this amply I can't see what different steam would be like ?The Mabis puts out pretty hot steam after a while but I don't mind that . If the steam gets too hot I just turn it off at the little on/off switch on the cord so no problem there . Good luck which ever way you go .

I just recently got a MyPurMist inhaler, and I think the quality is much better. Understand I've had it less than a month, so I don't have personal data But when I compare the two side by side, the quality of the MyPurMist is better. It is also more comfortable to use in that the steam is finer *and* it is easier to watch TV or do something else while steaming. (The Mabis must sit on a flat surface and you must be at a rather awkward angle when using it). Here is one difference: you have to use very pure water when using the MyPurMist and nothing else must be added. However, it is very effective. I was also amazed the first time I used it at how much steam I got for a very small amount of water. So, yes it is expensive, but I think it is worth it. The Mabis plastic breaking down within a year worries me, because yellow plastic means you are breathing in impurities from the plastic. P.S. This is the review I wrote on the Mabis before I knew about the MyPurMist: http://www.amazon.com/review/RA9N960WWYCRF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000AYYK5M&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= I gave it 4 stars because I didn't know there was anything better at the time. I'd probably give it 3 stars now. It is better than nothing, and if you are on a really tight budget and have sinus problems, then by all means get it. But if you can afford it, I'd recommend the MyPurMist.

Why can't you use distilled water from a store? If you can buy scent pads for it, why can't you add something else to the pad, like Olive Leaf Extract?

I went to Honeywell, WalMart and Amazon and searched all of them. I have a small one and wanted another like it for another room, but they no longer made it, so I opt for a little bigger one which I am glad I did. Watch they are on sale quite frequently. I think I paid $129.00 or so for the bigger one and it is wonderful. Depends what you want it for. They both have changeable filters on them and a 5 year HEPA filter.

Barbara, I use the inhaler 2x a day for about 10 minutes each time. If I am unable to use it 2x a day, I use it once a day for about 15 minutes. You need to use it every day but I cannot tell you how much this has helped me and I have recommended it to a number of other people. I use prescription inhalers and it just makes them work better. My lungs are clearer and I am able to move more air with the inhaler, plus it helps my sinuses and allergies. It has been like a gift from God. Good luck, hope it helps you as much as hit has helped me.

No difference that I can see. I've purchased 2 (first one I had purchased for myself and gave it to my mother for medical reasons and bought another one for myself). When I bought the second one for my personal use I decided to also buy a pulse O2 for my job in healthcare. For my job I decided to get one advertised specifically for medical use (significantly more expensive). When they arrived I compared their accuracy on myself and the outcomes were identical. The end of the story is that my Mom is still using her ChoiceMed on a daily basis, I am using my ChoiceMed on a regular basis and the "medically approved" one that I seldom used id dead. I intend to replace the dead one with another ChoiceMed for work soon. I hope this helps you with your decision.

I have been purchasing the Vicks inhaler for years, they have reformulated the ingredients several times, however, I cannot tell a difference, in the performance. I will say, I cannot locate any in the stores in the SF bay area, or in WA & OR, when I visited there in November, so I am wondering if they are again changing formulas and I will have to depend on "house" brands for awhile.

I don't know how it compares but I can tell you that this really works well. Been using it for years. Usually start taking it in March to prevent or minimize allergies in the spring. Used to get really bad red itch eyes with nasal congestion. Haven't had them in years.

I think distributors often cost more, not sure why. I almost always go directly to manufacturer on this type of product. Pays to shop around though if you have the time. I got mine for under $900 from an allergy website that was having a sale.

The only difference I found was the price. The one I bought here is just fine and does the job very well.

I have not compared these two products. Mine are as loud as any that I have tried. I have enjoyed mine.

I've had an Asthmanefrin nebulizer over a year now and you certainly can use other liquid inhalation meds with it. I'm a veteran and get Albuterol 3ml 0.083% plastic vials for nebulization which is much less expensive than buying the Asthmanefrin refills. Also, Asthmanefrin (the company) has redesigned the nebulizer and they work much better now. If you have an old one that doesn't work properly they will replace it for free. (asthmanefrin.com) Also, use rechargeable batteries because they last 4-5 times longer than disposables.

There is no difference I can see in the 2, all I know is they help me sleep. There are always different prices for same product online, that I have noticed since I started shopping online. It can be same seller or a different seller and more than one different price. If you're looking to sleep, this product works. That's all I can tell you. Have a good evening.

My sense is that the differences are modest. This stuff is very expensive. If cost is a consideration for you, and you decide on pill form for that reason, I think you can be assured that you're doing yourself a lot of good.

The inhaler is designed to draw air through coarse salt articles, and to allow airborne particles to enter your respiratory tract. A filter would seem to work against this effect. I hope this clears things up as well as our inhalers might..... Enjoy! SMS

My inhaler works well with water soluble medications. But I don't know if it is good for asthmanefrin. Sorry.

We bought two of the Fellowes air purifiers (the 200 and 100 models) specifically because we learned our toddler had a minor cat allergy and we hoped it could help. Completely anecdotal evidence, but I really like it and think they have been working well. I would definitely recommend the 200 over the 100 (better airflow design, actually more compact/smaller, quieter on lowest setting yet stronger fan on higher settings).We also bought a robotic vacuum to clean everyday to try to help with the dander, and I think that has been a really big help as well. Good luck!

I forgot to replace it one year and after a few months too many, I started to smell dust even after vacuuming. Once I replaced the filter, the dust odor went away after one or two vacuumings. It's expensive, but necesary. Would love to know if anyone has had good experience with the generic version for 1/4 the price!
