It’s sad this is a brand for children but when the steam element dies it seems you have to throw away all that plastic without being able to just replace the steam element. So destroy our children’s environment to help them when they’re sick! I agree with other readers to - there is constantly brown flaky deposits building up in the unit & floating in the water The cleaning tablets DON’T work and after a while the essential oils cannot be smelled at all. So disappointed.

My tenant raised concern about bedroom walls and curtains going mouldy. I’ve rented property (house) to different tenants for 30 years. Never experienced mouldy walls until now. Discovered current tenant uses Euky Bear steam vaporiser in bedroom. $600 to clean mould and repaint walls and replace mouldy curtains. I have now prohibited the use of this mould creating, witch doctor device inside my property.

We firstly purchased Euky Bear inhaler and used in a diffuser before buying this vaporiser. It comes to my surprise it’s lacking a simple function, which is having an on & off switch. How annoying that it - even a $10 lamp would have it. Whoever design this machine probably never had to use it.

Smell very bad after use for 3 months. Got some flaky brown and water became brown or black in the morning after used. Put the Euky bear cleaning tablets regularly and wash overtime after used.

We have this vaporiser for about one year and first winter this worked without any issue. This time round its been used every night and until one day I can barely smell the oil and emailed the customer service, with one follow up, the email was responded in 10 days. After following the instruction to use the tablets and vinegar to clean it still didn't make any different. Emailed back to the customer service and it's been 7 days now has not received any response. Now, the issue got worse, the vaporiser is making burning smell.
Not happy!

Bought two, one for each room. We have been using them every night. I have also run vinegar through both, clean daily, use the special tablets with every clean. Black residue in tank always, The stream is very weak without the ability to turn it up. It does zero with dryness. I had better moisture in the room from a couple of temporary cheap ones I had set up. Would take them back in a heart beat but have misplaced the receipt. Cutting my losses and looking to replace them ASAP.

I think it’s a good little machine.
Creates lots of steam and is fairly quiet.
I have experienced cracking sounds but they seemed to stop after a while.
There does always seem to be a residue in the bottom.
I really dislike that it doesn’t have an on or off switch, instead since I don’t have it plugged into a seperate switch, I need to unplug the whole thing to turn off.
It’s annoying to fill too... need to be refilled everyday, unlike others that last a few days.

Euky bear keeps the air in the room nice and humid making it easier for her to breathe. The first couple of times there were black flakes in the water after using it, but they resolved after a few uses. My only negative is the night light! It is so bright especially when my daughter is used to sleeping in a dark room. I would prefer not to have it or be able to turn it off or down. Since using it she's be waking up around 6ish, today I turned it off at 5am and she is still sleeping at 7am.

I purchased a Euky Bear Vaporizer from chemist warehouse about 3 weeks ago to help our little one fight a runny nose and cough. The first night we used it she slept through after nearly a week of broken sleep due to her coughing.

But on about the 4th use I noticed large grey paint like things in the water. We used the cleaning tablet thinking that would help but it seems to be getting worse. More stuff comes off just in more broken up pieces now.

Not knowing what it is we stopped using it because we were worried it could be toxic and we wouldn’t know. We chucked out the receipt and the box so we can’t take it back to the shop.

Anyone who purchases this definitely keep the receipt incase this happens to you!

My Euky Bear is not even 1 year old and it is submitting an awful plastic/burning smell when in use. Prior to this smell I noticed grey flakes different to the normal black/brown flakes from mineral build up. I have always cleaned my euky bear every two/three uses and have now cleaned the euky bear 3 times and can not stop the smell or the grey flakes. I think the heating mechanism coating has melted away and no longer believe my euky bear is safe to use. I am seeking a full refund.

I purchased the unit from Chemist warehouse and the black flakes have been consistently appearing.

They seem to be getting bigger, I don't think the mineral build up can be so much. I have email the manufacturer with photos. Hope to get some answer and a replacement.

I've found this vaporiser to be excellent and reliable. I've had mine for 3 or 4y now and use them through winter for my kids.
- Doesn't overly warm the room - so can use more often (in Brisbane)
- Energy efficient
- Mineral flakes in water container - just pour down sink.. (my old Vicks was horrible to clean)
- Mineral flakes inside the internals are easy to clean (leave vaporiser out of water to thoroughly dry and knock the blue device against the side of the sink. the mineral flakes inside will easily break up and fall through the gaps
- Doesn't overly humidify the room. Previous vaporiser left all my walls slicked in water and created mould issues
- Quiet

Bought this last winter, initially was happy with it but it just gave up this winter. Hopefully i could get a replacement with Chemist warehouse, if not its just a waste of money getting one every winter.

Just purchased this from Chemist Warehouse a few days ago and only opened it up today and for some reason there is a burning smell coming out of the steam? I also put 2 caps of the oils but I can't smell anything at all. Also I left it there for about 2 hours thinking maybe it's just a new product and the smell will subside but when I opened it, there were flaky grey/black stuff floating around inside the water. Do not recommend and I will be bringing this back to Chemist Warehouse for a refund as I am not happy with this at all.

Bought this product from Chemist Warehouse approx 2 weeks ago and I don’t love it. There’s excessive amounts of scale in the tub after each use, despite using cleaning tablets. I’m wondering if this is the coat from the heating module (as it has been for others) rather than water minerals. Also, the steam smells like chlorine or burning plastic.

We received ours as a baby gift and started using it in Feb of 2019 when my son got his first childcare cold. We used it anytime he has a cough or sniffles and loved it. Always clean it and use the tablets as directed. But since we have gone to use it in the last week everytime we plug it in our mains power trips off! No matter what power point we use it continuously trips the house power and we aren't sure why, as we use it the same as before and it was clean! So sad as we were going to by another for our second baby, but now I'm not sure if we should....

After having an issue with my unit the customer service I received from the Euky Bear company has been absolutely fantastic. They were prompt to respond to the issue and replaced the faulty unit.

Getting the same gray flakes as everyone else on here is talking about! Noticed them and been worried about what they might be doing to my little boys lungs.... a bit of googling brought me here.
Have used the cleaning tablets religiously since purchase.
