Pure Daily Care Facial Steamer

TL;DR: This steamer worked well for me for the price, though it got mold and I had 2 models break in as many years. I recently got a more expensive steamer that works much better. More information I purchased this steamer in 2019 to help with clogged sinuses and clogged pores. It did help on both fronts. For about 1-2 years, I used it close to every day to open up my sinuses before sinus rinsing and I believe it helped me avoid sinus infections. I also bought the same steamer for my sister as a gift. When my steamer broke, she gave me hers. Which also broke a few months later. At the time, the steamer felt like good value for the price. The blackhead removal tools that came with it have been helpful. I never used the steamer towel chamber. I didn't need the large water reservoir, and in fact, mold grew in it at one point. My solution was to only fill the reservoir partway because I would generally only steam for ~5 minutes. I did notice this product now advertises "nano steam" and "negative ions", which makes me skeptical given the fraud in the negative ion products. I recently got a sinus infection recently and decided to go back to steaming. This time I took a risk on a more expensive steamer hoping to find a sturdier option. (I tried https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Dennis-Gross-Facial-Steamer/dp/B071FNYPM4). Out of the box, the new one is significantly better. Specifically 1) it's much smaller/takes up less space, 2) the steam begins much more quickly with less wait and 3) it produces a much higher quantity of steam at a fast rate. I don't know if it will last longer, but it does seem to be a sturdier build. Potential downsides: 1) it doesn't have a towel chamber (which I don't need) and 2) the reservoir is smaller (a good thing for me given my short steaming time and the mold problem). Bottom line: This particular model seems to win on price, and it helped me with sinus problems and clogged pores. If you are optimizing for quality over price, there are better options.
