NeilMed Sinugator Cordless Pulsating Nasal Wash Kit with One Irrigator, 30 Premixed Packets and 3 AA Batteries(Pack of 1)

Best purchase ever! I work with germy toddlers in a preschool class so I get sick quite a bit. I was severely congested so much so that when I first tried to use it the liquid wouldn’t come out the other nostril. I used the low setting. I would just blast it up there anyway and blow it out. I figured it was better than nothing. I used it in the morning, afternoon, and night the first day I got it and even though the liquid wouldn't go through it still felt better after using it day 1. It’s now the morning of day 2 the fourth time using it and the liquid is now going all the way through and it feels so good to breathe through my nose. I had been sick for about 5 days prior to when I ordered this thing and when I say sick I mean sick I was at a point where I was desperate for congestion relief and willing to try anything. I was so congested I could feel my heartbeat in my nose there was so much pressure in my head. I was using nose sprays that eventually stopped working and over the counter meds for decongestants and a vicks steamer, but this thing is what made me feel better! Also the fact that it comes with so many of those packets is awesome and it comes with the batteries so you don’t have to make three separate purchases its just all there ready for relief and at a really decent price! If you’re looking for relief buy this product you won’t regret it! I think I am going to start using it even when I am not sick too maybe once a week/month or when the toddlers I work with start to get sick. This also would be great for people with allergies!

I have bought three of the Sinugators over the past 3 years. There is a good and bad reason for this. The GOOD reason being that this is the best portable sinus rinse device on the market. Waterpik used to make an awesome device but they discontinued it a couple years ago due to customer complaints. I now use the NeilMed Sinugator at least once a day and I believe it has been the main reason I haven't had the cold of flu for the past 3 years. It's an amazing feeling being able to breath freely without any obstruction. When I mentioned to my doctor that I use a sinus rinse daily he was quick to comment how it is more effective than antibiotics for most people. The Sinugator is quick and easy to use, and your sinus passageways are flushed out in 30 seconds or less. I think the idea of using a neti pot is ridiculous after using an electric device such as the Sinugator. Ok, now the BAD reason why I've purchased three of these. As other reviewers have noted, this device has the tendency to stop working after a few weeks or months. I believe my second one stopped working after 30 - 45 days. The good news is that you can fix this by removing 3 screws and pulling the guts out of the device. The metal trigger piece which has a copper connector has a tendency of corroding. This would not happen if they used a gold connector (shame on them). I personally use a small piece of fine sandpaper to clean off the corrosion and then I place a drop of oil on the connector. I'm not sure how long the layer of oil lasts, but I'd like to believe that it helps to prolong the need for another cleaning. I've had to disassemble these devices several times each over the past 3 years. In the end it is worth all the trouble. I've attached a photo of what the inside device looks like. Why 5 stars then if this device has a design flaw? Well, I personally believe that it would be hypocritical to give it less than 5 stars after buying several of them. I will probably order it again in the future unless another company comes out with something better.

I had been using the bottle "irrigator" to clean out my airways. I have terrible, terrible allergies along with an active five year old so I will let you imagine how many times a year I come down with some awful sort of snot-laden illness. I had been using the bottle irrigator for a bit and I wasn't really sure if it was working or not. I mean, stuff was coming out of my nose but I still felt congested and I couldn't smell, etc. Being rather annoyed by this, I decided to give this a try. So typical morning, I wake up and my face is full of snot. I go do the bottle irrigation and resume my morning activities. In an hour, the congestion had built back up and so I did it again. I forgot I had ordered this and found it on my doorstep when I went to take out the garbage. I thought, wow, this is a good opportunity to see if that other bottle is missing anything in terms of snot and crap in my poor nose. So I beamed it up, went into the bathroom and began irrigating. I have to warn you, I am kind of a sissy with this kind of stuff, since I am one of those that thinks she is entitled to complete comfort all of the time. So I start doing this and I am looking at myself in the mirror and something was wrong. Then! It just chugged right out of my nose; it could barely make it out. Some giant "thing." Then! SPRAY of water. Ugh! Absolutely disgusting. I was glad it slipped down the drain right away, so I did not get the chance to examine it, which I would have definitely done. It was huge. I have a small nose. I wonder how long it was in there with no possible way out. The moral of the story is that this machine is more effective than the black tipped bottle for me. I am glad whatever that was is out and I have to admit my head feels different. I am skeptical of these sorts of remedies with so much monotyped writing on the package that one hardly knows where to start. However, I am very pleased that the snot blockade that I suspected was there is now out of my body. I can smell the coffee! Some tips: I really would advise against using a solution made at home. While it seems a rip-off for salt and baking soda, at least you know what is going up your nose, and if something awful were to happen, you could at least pursue some remedy legally. I would only use distilled/bottled water for this. Period. I have seen too many stories about brain eating amoebas and crap from water going up the nose. Perhaps they have some wretched little ameoba cousins in tap water. In any case, I don't want to be the one to discover them. No thank you. I might feel differently if I lived in a place where the tap water wasn't in the headlines but why risk it. I have to say, that right before the chunk came out, I was wanting to quit. It was just before hurting. But I kept going and when the reservoir ran out (quickly with this apparatus when compared with the squeeze bottle) I lamented, "aw man!!" And I did it again. In sum, I would try this if you don't know what to think about the bottle and the neti pot feels like waterboarding (I just cannot handle the neti pot)!! And if you irrigate frequently on high polen days, the nasal gel by the same company is advised by me. It soothes the overwashed tissues nicely.

I purchased this for post-op care after septoplasty and dacryocystorhinostomy, and it has worked well overall. The biggest drawback is that there is no real seal between the irrigation reservoir (the blue container) and the motor unit. Even a slight tilt causes leakage, so you have to hold the Sinugator perfectly upright or start losing solution. Fix that design flaw, and this would easily be 5-stars.

We have gone through 4 of these in 4 months, most failed in the same way, a cracked leaking cup. The first one we bought from Amazon.com. We ran the reservoir cup, which in the manual was listed as top rack dishwasher safe, through the dishwasher after a week's use to clean and sanitize it, and it came out completely discolored and cracked. We returned it to Amazon and got another one as a replacement, using the dishwasher incident as a lesson learned that even if the manual said dishwasher safe, it was not. For the second one, the reservoir cup cracked and started leaking after about 35 days, beyond the Amazon return period. No problem I thought, the manufacturer has a 120 day warranty, so I contacted them. After an incredible runaround, they sent me a new cup in the mail. This took about 3 weeks. In the mean time, we bought another one at Walgreens because we needed a working unit, and planned to keep the one awaiting a replacement cup as a spare. After a couple weeks, the Walgreens unit failed, and on inspection, we found water had gotten into the battery compartment and completely rusted the contacts. The battery compartment cover was securely mounted, so the failure wasn't because of user error. We returned it to Walgreens and got a replacement under their 30 day return policy. So, now we have a new unit from Walgreens, and a replacement cup for the unit we got from Amazon (which itself is a replacement for the first defective unit). After another couple of weeks, the unit from Walgreens' cup cracked (no microwave, hot water, or any such stress) and started leaking, so we once again returned the Walgreens unit for a refund. We were now done buying replacements We now have the second one we got from Amazon, with a new cup replacing the leaking cup. In a week, that cup cracked (again, no dishwasher or hot water stress). We just threw it away since we don't want to fool with NelMimed any more. The take away is that while this is a convenient and effective product, the materials used to make it are simply crap. An appliance intended to squirt water should not be made in such a way that electrical contacts rust out. An appliance intended to squirt water from a reservoir cup should have a cup that doesn't crack in regular use. And finally, an appliance whose reservoir cup is stated as being dishwasher safe should be dishwasher safe.

Works really well. Totally clears out sinuses. Ideally, the craftsmanship would be a bit better (My first one stopped working after 3 years, despite my taking good care of it and using it infrequently), however, for $30 it’s well worth it.

Works excellent- I love it. I have had this for over a year. You don't know the difference until you try it. Batteries last a long time in it- even the cheap kind. Also, after 13 months of use, the bottom of the cup fell apart for no apparent reason, I didn't drop it or anything. But I went to NeilMed.com and called customer service, and they are sending me a new replacement part for free! That is excellent customer service, so I wanted to write this review! They really stand behind their products. I don't know where I would be with out their sinus products. I have used their rinses for years, and I just don't know what shape I would be in with out them! I have never used any other brand so I don't know. Currently, I have had the best results this past year with the Sinugator, the saline packets and grapefruit extract drops. I also learned to use distilled water instead of my faucet water because I'm in Kansas, and I think my area is the hardest water in the world, literally! (I think Kansas invented hard water, honestly.) The Sinugator is wonderful. I had previously purchased a really expensive sinus irrigator, the most expensive one on Amazon. You leave it on your bathroom counter, plugged in. But it was so big, and bulky and a lot of work. I was scared I wouldn't use it. So, I sent it back unopened and got the Sinugator instead. I am not sorry at all for my decision, it was the right one. The pulsing is what is important, and this is way cheaper than the other system. It does not disappoint. It's got a great guarantee with it, and if you by it here at Amazon, and can't return it after a while, just call NeilMed, and they will take care of you. Great company. I would buy it again in a heart beat!

Does the job, helps to clear sinus congestion. Just to be clear it is a temporary fix, it does the job to clear the mucous but best to see your physician just to be sure. But overall works great!

Good quality 👌

Just 2 days after use and it does what it is intended for. I have used the bottle method before but it didn't give me any relief. This is totally different and truly works. Lovely to breathe through my nose at last.

Super bien pour les personnes qui ont comme moi des rhinites toute l'année.

El cliente muy bien, el envío ha tardado un poco pero ha sido por culpa de Correos España y las fechas Navideñas, en realidad salío del Reino Unido a los dos días de comprarlo y ha estado en España como 15 o 20 días hasta que me ha llegado a la oficina de Correos. Tengo renitis y el resultado de las irrigaciones aún es pronto para saberlo, es como utilizar el agua de mar Rhinomer (aunque más barato), Tengo que pedir los sobres de compuesto hipertónico que es algo más fuerte que los que trae de prueba que son más neutros. Es cómodo y fácil de aplicar .

Questo apparecchio dall'aspetto particolare mantiene quello che promette: pulire in profondità le cavità nasali. All'interno è presente in omaggio una convenzione con 30 bustine di sali da diluire nell'acqua. Molto facile da usare ma efficace, consiglio a tutti questo prodotto
