TAAV Vaporaire (page 3 of 4)

Bought this product and was so glad we tried it prior to putting in our grandson's bedroom. Followed instructions and let it work for 2hrs when cut out and leaked everywhere. Found it almost impossible to return to the point of sale. Was treated like I'd broken it! Finally exchanged it for the more conventional and more expensive model. Read the reviews after that and can't believe there hasn't been a product recall on this.

We have 2 of these and they both leak, a lot. You pick them up and water pours out the bottom of both machines. So much so, they have to be permanently sat in another container to catch all the water run off. One even leak water out the power connector. This is really dangerous. I wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone! Absolutely not worth the money you pay for them.

Nearly set our home on fire!!! Do not buy. Worst product ever!!!! We could have lost our baby!!! I'm so disgusted that an Australian made company is still supplying it all over Australia.

Returned this the very next day as it leaked like crazy. The staff at the pharmacy told me they had all been coming back. Do not recommend.

Started smelling bad. Curiosity got the better of me and ive had to unscrew to open and found all the cables corroded and melted away in a pool of rust.
Im so angry as I'd used it fine for the last few nights and had it set up ready to go to bed (I sit it a metre away from my babies cot) and now I read all these review about them catching on fire! Close call!

Bought mine a few years back with no problems till now put it on wed night no problem put it on thurs night then in the morning it smelled like it was burning and found it failed to shut off.

What a waste of time, you can't even fit the tablet in to clean it as instructed.
It says to put 10ml of oil it is no where near enough, it's more like a quarter of the bottle to get a scent.
I wish I checked the reviews before buying this crap.

Have the old style one, brillant, brought the new one, used it in my youngest room, went to check water, it was melting and burnt, could have caused a fire.

I purchased this new only a few months ago. I mainly purchased because it was Australian made. It's only been used a handful of times with the taav inhalant and cleaning tablet each time as instructed. After every use black gunk stuff appears, it smells terrible in the morning and now to top it off makes such a loud noise when operating it wakes my baby! Worst purchase

Bought one 2 days ago from a local chemist over the other brands because it said Australian made... A after the first use we noticed water leaking out of the motor and wires..That's a lethal combination for fire or electric shock. I called the company and they asked me to send it back for replacement and I couldn't just take it back to the chemist where I purchased it. The cost of post is $15-$20 additional to what I already paid for it... are they kidding.. what kind of service it that... I wont take the risk of even getting a replacement.... Bad service... don't buy one... I'll go and buy a Chinese made one instead...

Warning!!! Do not buy this vaporizer!!!
We bought this vaporizer for our 4 month old daughters room as she has a cold and the it burnt out filling her room with smoke and the very overpowering smell of burning plastic!!!!!!!!!! Should have looked at the reviews.. Apparently this has happened alot!! And as for getting a refund.. good luck >:-l

Had mine for a couple of years now. No issues, works well. Puts condensation on the windows but I believe most vaporises do that anyway. Don't need to clean.

I filled my machine to the water line at 7pm and put my baby daughter to bed. I was woken at 7am by the smell of smoke. The vaporizer was smoking! Burning plastic only a meter from my daughter's face. Called them for replacement but I have to post to them which costs more than buying a new one.....bad customer service.... did not care. Do not buy

We smelt smoke in the house today. We went into our childs bedroom and the TAAV Vaporair was burning. the machine was switched off but still connected to power. has this happened during the night or while we were away we wouldn't have a house anymore. This product should not be on the market.

It spontaneously catches fire !!! Warning !!!

I love the way the Taav products humidify the air and I love the way the menthol clears the sinuses. There is an important improvement required as the cleaning tablets will not go into the tank properly and the water will not completely drain from the tank. The result is a build up of mould.
Inexpensive, nice smell
Very difficult to clean, can't get the tablet in properly and can't drain all the water out.

don't buy one ours caught on fire and burnt the rug and if it was not for the smoke alarm we would or our children would be dead caught on fire and burnt the rug and if it was not for the smoke alarm we would or our children would be dead caught on fire and burnt the rug and if it was not for the smoke alarm we would or our children would be dead
very bad

I've had two models going back to the early 90's. I still have the first one and it still works. I only bought another because the newer models have more safety features. I use it a lot during winter at home and used to take it to my office as well - it makes office air conditioning more bearable. Remember to empty and rinse after each use to keep it clean and always use the cleaner tables as directed. Definitely worth buying/can't live without.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do
