Nasal Care Deluxe Bundle – Powered Nose Cleaner for Congestion Relief w/ 30 SaltPods, Storage Caddy, Sky Blue Travel Bag & Batteries ($137 Value). Sinus Rinse for Clinically Proven Benefits

Worked ok until it stopped working completely. Opened the battery case to be sure there wasn't any corrosion, it has just stopped working, the button will not press. This unit is only 2 months old and used occasionally. Do not waste your money.

Do your research before purchasing. I’ve been using it for about two months - loved it, got the gunk out, felt clear. But after the last couple uses, I could feel water going into my ear, eventually causing bad ear pain (assuming an ear infection). Seems to be a common health issue that happens when using the machine. Very bummed it caused this.

I have been using nasal flushing systems for years now and I highly recommend it but do not waste your money on this system. I bought this thinking this will be great it is all self contained I won't have to worry about leaning over the sink for the Saline to drain from my nose. I still have to bend over the sink after it is done to finish draining my sinuses of the solution it did not suck out. which is not a big deal. The problem is it requires y using their proprietary salt pods. that are expensive. after looking on sale the pods cost over $35.00 for a ninety day supply. I can make up my on supply of sinus rinse solution by mixing 1part Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) with 2 parts NON-Iodized Table salt. Mix a tea spoon of that with lukewarm water and shake well . You have the same solution as the NAVAGE Salt Pods. This mixture was recommended to me by my Sinus doctor several years ago. It is inexpensive and works very well. NO where in the advertising does NAVAGE mention you have to use their proprietary salt pods. There are other systems out there that cost less and do not have to use expensive Salt Pods.

My son and I were battling sinus infections and he hates using the Neti pot, so we gave this a try. I was impressed with the design and it seemed solid and easy to use (it arrived with batteries already installed). I viewed the videos and successfully rinsed, but this still is a messy process and requires standing over a sink/tub because you will still have water left over to blow out. It also takes a lot of getting used to, in terms of wiggling the device to get the suction right. It is going to be somewhat messy, and only marginally less so than when using a traditional neti pot. Another reviewer mentioned something very important about how you cannot regulate the strength of the flow or suction, nor can you tip your head to reach those areas as you can with the neti pot, so you’re only getting “the path of least resistance” and not cleaning out the rest of your sinuses. The real kicker was having to buy their salt pods. The machine will literally not turn on unless you insert a fresh salt pod (Keurig-style pods) which gets mashed down and activates the device to turn on when you press the button. So if these pods ever become scarce, or you forget to order more, you’re stuck with a hundred dollar device that’s worthless without them. Save your money and order one of those inverted bottle neti pots that come with the nice array of nasal tip sizes included, which I purchased here for less than 15 dollars. There is another device that looks interesting and I wish I had tried that first, the Sinupulse elite. It has adjustable flow and pulsing action, so it may be more effective, but a major downside is that it runs on electricity so you have to use it while it’s plugged in (and is one more bathroom gadget to deal with) especially for awkwardly shaped bathrooms with scant closet/vanity space like mine… (a logistics issue).

Let me start out by saying I have had sinus issues for about twenty years. I have chronic debilitating sinus infections and I have had every sinus cleansing machine known to man and been on countless antibiotics, nasal sprays, irrigations and other treatments. I currently was using a sinupulse elite and can compare it to the Navage as I think they are both akin to each other as far as technology and cutting edge sinus systems go. I honestly would not have even looked at this if not for the advice of my ent who said I needed something with POWER to be able to force out the thick mucus in my nose. As I stated I was using the Sinupulse elite which I really liked but it was missing one thing which was a powered wash. The sinupulse has a twenty four oz water chamber and you can easily add antibiotics, capsules, topical antibiotics and most importantly cheap, cheap saline packs. The amount of water loosens a ton out of my sinuses but since there’s no power suction it is often stuck and I have to continually blow my nose super hard to get all the gunk out. Here’s where the Navage comes in. If I knew how little water the chamber could hold I never would have bought it. Depending on how you fill it it’s between 8-10 oz. In my opinion that’s not near enough water to do a complete nasal rinse especially if you are really congested or have a lot of mucus. The suction is decent I will give it that just not long enough of a session due to the low water amount. I feel like this was extremely quick and not near enough time to fully irrigate my sinuses. I can see a new to sinus machines user being intimidated by the pressure on this and an experienced user finding issues. The thing that really gets me annoyed about this machine is the salt water pods particularly the price. Absolutely no reason pods of salt and water should be expensive. Especially if you see what a huge box of Neil Med salt packets are going for. It makes me wonder if the water reservoir doesn’t hold a lot of water in the hopes that you will do an additional nasal cleanse and use yet another expensive pod. If this could hold a much larger amount I would be happy and have no complaints but at $100 plus expensive salt pod refills I feel I got ripped off. In choosing a machine it seems you have either the choice of a large water reservoir but low flow with cheap salt packs(Sinupulse)or a decent power vacuum with low water cycle and expensive pods(Navage).

I returned this after one week. I’m not dealing with nonsense. 1. Hard to turn on: I did everything right, added water, inserted the saline pod, closed the lid and it still wouldn’t turn on. I double-checked everything, and nothing worked. When I opened the lid to check the pod, that was a mistake, once you open it, you can’t reuse the pod. I wasted several pods (which are not cheap!) just trying to get the machine to start. Extremely frustrating. (You can only use this company pods) 2. Small water tank: The amount of water it holds is not enough for a proper rinse. 3. Too much pressure: When it did work, the pressure was so strong it actually caused pain in my sinuses. Once you close the pod compartment, you can’t open it again without wasting another pod. I really tried to like this product, but it’s just not user-friendly at all.

I bought the Navage Starter Bundle - Nasal Irrigation System two years ago and used it exactly as instructed, always making sure to keep it clean and dry. At first, it worked well and I even recommended it to a friend. But after two years, the water flow became very weak and it no longer functions properly. The worst part is when I replaced the batteries, I discovered the entire battery compartment was covered in mold — despite careful maintenance and keeping the device dry. For such a personal cleaning product, this is unacceptable. I expected durability and hygiene, but instead I feel let down. Definitely would not recommend anymore.

After recovering from sinus surgery, my doctor prescribed something to combine along with a nasal irrigator, which, let's face it, is an unpleasant process no matter how delicately one tries, so the promise of a machine that makes it not only tidy, but as simple as a single button? Things that are too good to be true are, and if I'm lying may my nose grow. But no, my nose is what it is, and that's one (of many) issues with this device. From a merely anatomical perspective, the makers of the device assume everyone has the same nose. Why else would they not include any additional nose tips? Why would they not at least make them adjustable? These are too big, too far apart, too rigid, and not angled enough. I could tilt my whole head to kind of get it to work, but the top of the unit is not watertight, so the precious (and expensive) pod-anointed water just spills everywhere. The suction does work, but only from specific angles. The jet of anointed-water works, but again only from specific angles. Sadly the geometry of these two angles do not align, so either one side either sucks, or one side blows. There's never a smooth and uniform circulation, flow, never a lazy-river nor white-water-rapids, it was just squirt-squirt, glug-glug. With the rest on myself, or the counter, or a passing cat who should know better than to poke its nose into such things. Speaking of pokes, the lets-make-life-easy-by-making-one-button design promised easy of use, but in practicality, its so weirdly placed, not right enough but not wrong enough, that it just feels awkward in the hand and awkward to press, which in itself requires more effort than expected, and to maintain said pressure, at said odd angle, whilst holding ones head at an even odder angle, while spilling oddly anointed fluid over anything and everything that isn't a sinus, which is the one thing I was oddly aiming for. The entire device feels over-engineered. It has lots of plasticky bits. Little bits and bobs. Nose greebles. It looks cool, very sci-fi, but it also feels like there's so much that can go wrong when something as simple as a nose-vacuum needs so many parts, parts that rattle, jiggle, add unnecessary weight, and probably add unnecessary cost, parts that probably exist solely to lock you into some exclusive nose-keurig pods, for the device will do utterly nothing without that magic pod, that giver of salty liquid. And with something as inherently gross as nose-stuffings, the entire process for sanitizing the thing feels like a brutal chore. It would be nice if the device could be broken down, the parts cleaned individually, dishwashered, microwaved, steamed, exposed-to-full-moon, whatever it takes, but currently the whole thing is under lock and plastic-key, so the best you can do is run vinegar and soap through it which will absolutely most-certainly never come back to haunt you the very next time you try to use it. I began this quest because the off-the-shelf drugstore squeeze-bottle nasal-irrigator seemed cheap, low-tech, and simplistic. Now that I've seen this nose-emperor has no clothes, the squeeze bottle seems like a sudden king.
