Sniff Relief Heated Electric Sinus Mask

Love the sniff relief! I was struggggling with my typical once a year sinus infection. My nose and sinuses were just crammed full of junk, occasionally to the point of causing a headache. Blowing my nose didnt really even offer temporary relief and I think it was starting to affect my ears (certainly didnt want to compound the issue with an ear infection too). Im not big on taking medicine for things like sinus infections or colds, I prefer to do things to help my body fight the sickness naturally (fruits, veggies, water, steam showers, etc). I saw a video for Sniff Relief on facebook and bc I basically shop exclusively on Amazon, I searched for it here, and viola! I figured the $99 bucks was worth a shot at a natural remedy for blockage and pressure...THEY NAILED IT. First, it comes in a super cool package (think iPhone packaging) that fits everything efficiently and allows you to store it too. I un-boxed and plugged it in and then strapped it right to my head. The remote is intuitive and easy to understand and literally within 5 seconds I could feel heat beginning to soothe my face and sinuses! The apparatus is well constructed and stays in place on my head. It has a mold-able material in the face mask that will contour and hug your face to maximize the heat transfer and the eye holes are genius because I can watch tv, work on my computer, or read a book while I have it on, super functional. I generally cycle it on my face for about 15-20 minutes then I remove it. But when you remove it it has a pretty awesome sensation of pressure relief! Im not really sure what is taking place, but I can feel everything just relax and I could actually breathe! Thank you Mr Sniff Relief, Im definitely going to keep an eye (hole) out for any other genius ideas you guys come up with!!

This product was useless. Way over priced! The concept is good but the heated area is so small. Not at all what the description says. Under the eyes are two metal brackets which barely heat up the sides of your nose let alone the whole sinus area under the eyes and the top metal brackets are not large at all either. My nose got heated up and that was about it. Please don’t be fooled into thinking this mask heats up wherever the soft material touches your face. It’s just padded with no heat elements in it. I returned this overpriced piece of….

UPDATE 2/20/2023: The company sent me a new and improved version after I had written my 1/16/2022 review, which I rated 4 stars. It's been over a year and my sinus mask is still working! The main upgrade I immediately noticed was the pliability of the bendable nose piece in the mask. It's way stiffer than the one I originally had. I'm unsure whether they revisited the connection between the mask and power supply because upon receipt, I used medical tape to secure the connection (my original one stopped working when those parts kept coming undone/apart with little or no movement). I'm still so grateful to have found SniffRelief Sinus Mask on Amazon! It's been an awesome part of my "natural" self-care routine. THANK YOU AGAIN, SniffRelief! My apologies for the lengthy delay in updating this review! It's 5-stars for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/16/2022: So, I’m hoping to hear back from Sniff Relief customer service, whom I just emailed. My mask stopped working when it would no longer stay connected to the power cable. It falls out/off every time I try to connect it to use. I received mine on 10/1/2021. I sure was hoping it would last much longer than than 3-1/2 months, because I love this gadget! It has helped with my sinus issues and is very comforting. I’m rating this 4 stars for concept. The engineering probably needs revisiting, which I hope they do, because I’d buy an improved version!

Let me start by saying that I was fully aware this was a used item for which I paid in full. The usual packaging paraphernalia was missing but ok, it was clean and I needed it and so decide to try it. It actually did help my sinus congestion and achiness. However, I had to hold it at the bridge of my nose and had to "flatten" the edges at my cheeks so the mask would lay against my face better. This meant that I couldn't just do something else while I was adjusting the fit to my face. I decided to keep it because it does work. I used the highest heat for 30 minutes at a time.

I did read the reviews prior to buying. With the choices available, this product seems to fit my needs better than most. It is easy to use and I do get some relief. I find that I need to have the heat on high to get the results I need. The bridge of the nose should be more pliable to be able to fit more snug. By resting loosely around under the eye area does not provide enough heat to clear sinuses in that area. I needed to put a weighed eye mask over this so it will lay firmly in that area. With that said, having the eye area open to watch TV or read a book is useless. If these kinks could get worked out then the product will be perfect.

Does not fit flush on the face. This mask design needs improvement. You have to use your hand to hold it flush to the face the entire time. Certainly not worth the $100.
