NavageStarter Bundle - Nasal Irrigation System - Saline Nasal Rinse Kit with 1 Navage Nose Cleaner and 30 Salt Pods

So I'm 42yo and have had serious sinus issues since my early teens. At all times at least 1 of my nasal passages is completely clogged up and most of the time it's both. I have not experienced clear & easy nasal breathing in over 3 decades, possibly more but can't remember exactly when it all started. The Navage nasal irrigation system arrived yesterday around 4pm and I tried it for the 1st time about 10min later. It is now 11am the following morning and I'm still clear. While its not a permanent fix for sinus issues, it will 100% make you forget about them for a while. I love this product and will absolutely continue to use it at least once a day or as needed for as long as I can find the saline pods and the device operates.

I was sceptical about whether this would be better than a netty pot. I will confirm it is better. First of all it is so much faster and feels like it goes through your whole sinuses. It is expensive and it took me a while to finally buy it. I am glad I did as it seems to be working better. Also is sucks and shoots water so you have a little residual water in there but nothing like the netty pot. Buy it!

This is the best investment we have made for ourselves maybe EVER!!!!NAVAGE IS AMAZING. I CANT BELIEVE WE WAITED SO LONG TO TRY IT. Im not one to promote unless it is what it says .. This machine is for real.If you are having allergy issues or like us allergies and sinus issues you need to try this. It works .

I have suffered sinus issues due to deviated septum and seasonal allergies for 30 years. I've tried everything. Anyone who has real sinus issues knows that you need something with power, not manual like a neti pot or squeeze bottle. I'm comparing the Navage to the the original Grossan Nasal Irrigation System invented in the 70's and the current Sinupulse Nasal Irrigation System you can get on Amazon. I believe these two systems are in the same league as the Navage. If you are comparing it to pretty much anything else, the Navage will win out because it has power, as would the Sinupulse and other powered machines. There is no comparison between power and non-power. I'm guessing many reviews are comparing manual neti pots to the Navage and that is just not fair. The Navage is far superior to a neti pot due to its power and will review well every time because of that. Take that into account before you get excited about the prospect of a new and much better-powered machine.Pros:*The Navage works as well, if not better, than other powered machines, because of the suction.*The Navage gives a deep, clean feeling, perhaps even more than other powered machines.*The Navage gets the job done.Cons:*If you have a deviated septum the Navage is very difficult or impossible to use on the side where you most likely have most of your blockage. You can try using a nasal dilator like a breath right strip to help the flow, but it is possible that you get no flow at all or something very much inferior to your other machine. Let's face it: a lot of people with sinus problems have them because of deviated septum, so the question is, is it worth it to you? It will do a fabulous job on one side and you may need to use your original powered machine on the other. For $100 I personally think it's still worth it. Although it doesn't work on one side I do seem to cough up more afterwards. The mere fact that the water is slowly passing by near the sinus openings does something. You will know right away if it's not working on your deviated side. There will be no suction, or at least a lot less than on the other side. If you try it the first time and you get no suction switch the position of the nasal pillows. Most likely, you unknowingly started on your deviated side.*The Navage is substantially messier than any powered machine I've used in 30 years. There is a learning curve, especially with a deviated septum. You will swallow water, spit up water, get your shirt wet, etc. Once you figure out how to use it, though, this messiness dissipates.*The Navage does not allow you to use Xylitol (very toxic to dogs/pets) which can have benefits in preventing the development of bacterial sinus infections. It also does not use baking soda, which at first I thought would be a problem, but it's not. The pure saline does not burn and mixes with the whole tank of water evenly.*The suction is no joke. When you use a regular powered nasal irrigation system the primary feeling is water going up your nose. With the Navage, the primary feeling is the suction. It takes some time to get used to it. It can be alarming at first, but you just have to be calm, breathe through your mouth, and take breaks as needed. You are in full control of the power button at all times.Summary:The Navage is great for people without a deviated septum (probably superior to other powered machines). However, it's questionable for people with a deviated septum because you are only getting half the benefit. If this is your first powered machine, I would buy something like a Sinupulse first; that alone will give you relief. If you want to add this later do so. If you've had a powered machine for years this may be a nice addition to your collection of sinus treatment options.

Wish you could have the sensation of drowning without the pesky side effects? Look no further. This will make you feel like you swam with Orkas in our salty ocean while sick - and came out as a majestic MerMan who can breathe in all of that crisp ocean air.

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.
