Euky Bear Warm Steam Vaporiser

Unfortunately my Eukybear vaporiser model was part of the recent 2025 safety recall. As I didn’t have my purchase receipt for the item, I was refused a replacement unit or adequate remedy. This is not a warranty issue or change of mind. This is a SAFETY RECALL with fault solely on the manufacturer, and hence proof of purchase is not required… Read more
according to the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Regardless, whether the unit falls within the warranty period or not, this is not a warranty issue - it is a SAFETY RECALL!!! And for a product used primarily for sick infants and children. This is not good enough Eukybear! Very poor customer service and zero responsibility taken for providing unsafe products to consumers!
I have had bad experiences with the euky bear warm steam vaporiser .. it has bucked up my floor boards.. which need repairing.. but all they tell me is to send the product in for a review .. sorry I want because this is my evidence ... please let me know if anyone had the same issues with this product ...Not pleased with the product and the company shouldn't be giving it even 1 star...

My unit was part of the manufacturing defect recall. Even though I purchased it within the 5 year timeframe, they are saging because it was manufactured over 5 years ago, they will only offer a $40 voucher, which means I would need to be out of pocket to purchase a new unit, in winter, in a cost of living crisis, with young children. Their… Read more
response to my enquiring how this is fair or reasonable is provided below. They claim to care about Aussie families, the way they’ve handled this and responded to customers during this recall is nothing short of the contrary to what they preach. I am not the only person they have done this to, there are many other Aussie families in the same position but you can count on them ignoring you on social media and any other channels if they don’t like what you have to say. Disappointing to say the least.

Good until it’s stopped working – Used it a couple of times from 14 June 2022 Then the sound stopped a few months ago. I messaged the company a few weeks ago because I ddnt want to buy another one and yes they wouldn’t replace it because I messaged a week it went out of warranty. If you purchase it expect to replace it yearly . Such a faulty unit Show details
Terrible! – I have no words, so I'll show pictures. I bought this from chemist warehouse because my son had a cold and wanted to relieve his symptoms. It doesn't have on/off button but I assumed it would auto switch off when water level is low, which it didn't. Every night it would have all this orange stuff in the bottom of the tank and I had no idea what… Read more
it was. I emptied this every single night and still it continued to happen until one night I smelt something off and when I opened the unit the entire plastic inside was burnt off and the heat element completely rusted. I had only had this unit for no more than a month! I can't even return it cause I didn't keep the receipt. Stay away from this!

No auto shut off, very unsafe! – I purchased the Euky Bear steam vaporiser as I also own the competitors brand but needed a 2nd one for my youngest child. At first I loved the machine, it runs very quiet and doesn't leave the room as hot and steamy as I was used to with the competitors brand. However after a few uses now I have come to realise that it does not have the auto cut… Read more
off safety feature, this is dangerous and has causes damage to the side table I had it sitting on during use. I am aware the manual says for it to be used on the ground, in my opinion this may have causes more significant damage to the carpet as the table is brown and scorched underneath. The unit was very hot to touch and left with a very small amount of water in the base. I hate to think what might have happened if we forgot to check on it. Not a great feature for what is mainly used for small childrens bedrooms. Will be our purchasing competition brand to replace the Euky Bear vapouriser for the safety of our family.

Completely shocked and sick to my stomach – I bought a Euky Bear warm steam vaporiser from Chemist Warehouse for my twins as they had a cold. It was bought on 26/4 (a week and a half ago) I have used it every night since, using only Euky Bear oils and their brand of cleaning tablets every time as per their instructions. The first morning I noticed black and grey particles in what was left… Read more
of the water, this continued to happen every day since. I did some googling and saw many others have had the same experience. I then saw Euky Bear responding to customers saying it was just minieral deposits from the tap water and nothing to be concerned about.
I emptied the water every morning and let the unit dry out before refilling at night before bed, and have never let it run without water. On night 4 I could smell a slight burning smell, so I turned the unit off, washed out the container and soaked the blue part in vinegar (without submerging the top) for 20 mins as per the Euky Bear website instructions.
The burnt smell went away so I continued to use. I tried using demineralised water instead of tap water, which is one of the solutions listed on their website and still had grey/black particles in the water.
So today I decided to trust my gut and unscrew the top to get a closer look inside and was absolutely shocked at what I found, the heating unit is burnt/melted, and the grey/black particles were paint peeling off it!!! It makes me sick to think my kids have been breathing this in every night the last couple of weeks!

Absolute winner – Been using this for nearly 4 years with my toddler. I dont feel the smell is meant to be strong as its a natural Eucalyptus product and too much of that oil can burn your eyes etc. The steam is fantastic for all colds and respiratory issues. The product does require a clean every few uses but thats easy enough to do. My son is incredibly sound… Read more
sensitive (on the Spectrum) and the noise it makes doesnt bother him. Really happy we have our Euky Bear!
Has worked perfectly until now – We are the biggest advocates of the Euky Bear! My son has slept with it every night since we purchased from baby bunting in April! However tonight out of no where the sound stopped and is no longer playing! The diffuser and light still works however no sound options. Is there a way this can be fixed? Disappointing being under twelve months old and we would be lost without it Show details · 1
Can't live without it – Everytime one of us is sick, my steam vaporiser is my go too! Had it for 3 years now and I follow the instructions and it's done my family well. Just be sure to switch off first thing in the morning, rinse and ready for use again. I also make sure I clean product with tablet after the 3rd or 4th time using it. We never get any worse when I have this running. Amazing product! Show details · 1
Negative reviews
Mine has been included in the recall and as it’s an older model they will only pay reduced rate of $40 however the fault is from their product given it’s a product issue and safety issue this is not acceptable and won’t be purchasing or recommending their brand I’ll be doing the opposite.
Burning smell – Received Euky Baer as a baby gift. Used it a few times and loved it. Suddenly there's this strong burning smell and impossible to smell the strong eucalyptus .... very upset and think it might be a faulty product issue.

Unusual noise – I brought this just over a month ago and it has been great but the past few nights it has made a loud noise like the fan is working overtime. Any chance I can fix this or get it replaced?

Sound stopped working – We loved our Euky bear. It was a present for the baby shower and we have been using it most days for about 10months until now the sound stopped working. :( I had my baby shower in November '22 so a while before we even started using it. Unfortunately I got told it's only a 12 months warranty so that's a disappointment. As much as I loved it, I will not purchase another one for that reason! Show details

No smell – Useless product. Don’t waste your money on this product as it does not generate any smell at all. Also leaves black/grey particles at the bottom of the container. I’ve even used the cleaning tablets and still the same. Show details

no smell – Bought it about a year ago when our baby got her first cold. Worked great the first couple of times and the scent was nice and strong. Then it became useless. We’ve tried the cleaning tablets a few times but made no difference. Can smell the liquid when you open the lid but the smell doesn’t come through the vapouriser itself. Just a normal humidifier now that has to be unplugged instead of having an on and off button Show details

Euky bear Vaporiser - good until it stopped working – Hi, I just wanted to know if my Euky Bear vaporiser bought in 2021 is still under warranty? It's stopped working all of a sudden and has tripped the power supply twice now here at home. Tried it in a different socket and now the vaporiser won't turn on at all to work. Show details · 1
Euky Bear Vaporiser – Bought this after seeing great reviews on Chemist Warehouse. Purchased on sale for $65 as well as the Euky Bear inhalant to add in. After reading some reviews saying there were floaties in the water, I figured why not give it a go anyway since it has an impressive 5yr warranty. We have a house water filter system, so I just use water from the tap.… Read more · 1
However, if I did not have filtered water, I would use distilled to prevent the floaties. I noticed that the unit does not have an off-switch, or an auto-off. This is fine because I just unplug it in the morning, empty & rinse the tub, wipe down the motor and away we go! Just follow the instructions. Like many appliances, it’s your responsibility to switch it off. For $65 who can complain! Makes the room smell lovely and is super quiet and easy to clean. My son is still congested but I’m sure it’s helping him sleep a bit better.
Terrible, there are far better ones out there at cheaper price – - no on/off switch - no auto-off when the tank is empty, which coupled with no switch makes this particularly annoying Show details

black residues and burning smell after 5 uses – I bought this last year and used it 4 times in winter. This year when I used it (with cleaning tablet) It did not work well since the water tank was half. I opened it and saw there are black residues in the water and the water is a bit dirty. Not sure if this is normal... Show details
I tried it again and it works. From the previous reviews, it looks like black residues are quite… Read more (+1 reply)

Euky Bear Diffuser not working – Hi there, Our Euky Bear diffuser stopped working. We received it as a gift. Hence we don’t have the receipt. Can we get another one? Show reply
Love this machine – Love this machine, works great usually but our machine is only just over 2 years old and tonight the orange light on top flashed for a second before going out and now isn't working at all. Very frustrating and disappointing.. I will have to now rush out tomorrow morning and buy another one so my baby can breathe better tomorrow night. Not sure… Read more · 1
how to claim anything with the warranty as I don't think I have the receipt anymore with 3 kids under 4 everything goes missing.
Stopped working – We couldn't live without our Eukybear, it's the one item I love to buy my friends and family as a baby gift, but very disappointed that ours has stopped working and won't switch on after 3 years! My mum still has ours from when we were little, obviously not made with the quality they used to Show details

Unit smoking – Have only owned this product for about 3 months, and was used a handful of times. Unit started smoking and had a very clear burning smell. We returned unit as requested to be assessed for replacement. The unit arrived it was with them for inspection on the 6th of March, received an email on the 7th to confirm they have received the item. On… Read more
the 14th if March I receive an email saying the box is to damaged and (apparently had some mold) I explained the box was stored outside and was about to be thrown before the unit died, so it's not an indication of how the unit was stored but said said to bad they will not be assessing the item due to the poor condition of the box.
If the box was in such a poor state why did it take a week after you acknowledged you received it to say anything, also if the item it self was not faulty I would not of had to find the box from the recycling pile.
Wish I looked at reviews before purchasing.
Did all the correct things only used products they made, regularly cleaned.
Very displeased.

Foul smell – I've had this item for almost a year, luckily have only needed to use it a few times til now. Now when I've needed it urgently for my 1 year old who is very congested, it makes this disgusting smell and the water has black/grey flakes in in despite cleaning it everytime and using tablets when required, so disgusted my boy is inhaling this due to not noticing til the morning of the foul odour in his room.

Smells metallic when in use - shonky product – I recently purchased the Euky Bear Warm Steam Vaporiser along with all the “add-ins”… the liquid inhalants, and the cleaning tablets. This product is one of the absolute worse steaming units I have ever purchased - I nearly bought the Vicks Vaporiser one, but was persuaded by the sales assistant to go with Euky Bear… big mistake. I should have… Read more
known with the excess Euky Bear stock, stacked up against the few Vicks Vaporiser ones. With each use of the Euky Bear vaporiser, I am continuing to experience a metallic smell coming out from the unit steam. This has been causing my family to experience sever headaches and nausea - we arent able to use it anymore. Cannot understand why this is happening, given that the unit has been used in complete accordance to the product manual. All the add-in liquids and the cleaning tablets are in date also. Stinky, shonky product. Please steer clear of this one if you are considering purchasing it. Go with the brand Vicks instead.
