NAVAGE® Starter Bundle: Nose Cleaner, 30 SaltPods, Congestion Relief

I am not one to write a review however I am a chronic smoker. Something I’ve had trouble with recently is my sinuses being unable to remain clear due to years of neglect causing extreme dryness. This is the first time I’ve used a saline spray and it’s worked incredibly well. This product is very easy to use and considerably reduced the symptoms of a congested nose and allowed me to get more than 6 hours of sleep which I never thought I’d experience so blissfully again. I highly recommend for those who have been struggling with sinus issues stemming from years of smoking it’s a game changer for sleep. This product is worth every penny.

I really like this nasal irrigation system. The fact that rinses through both nostrils at the same time makes it much faster and more effective than the manual rinse bottles I’ve used before. That said, it did take me some time to get used to it. I still find it a little challenging at times, but I think is more about getting comfortable with holding my breath and learning the proper technique than the device itself. I also like that it comes with saline pods included. I haven’t had to purchase replacement pods yet, so I can’t comment on those, but having them included is definitely a plus and they seem to make a difference in the overall experience. It definitely feels a little strange the first few times you use it, but once you get to hang of it, it makes a noticeable difference. Overall, I would recommend it, especially if you’re looking for an upgrade from traditional manual nasal rinses.

I get a cold once or twice per year and they drive me crazy and wipe me out. I have a hard time breathing due to nasal congestion. Sleeping is horrible for me because I can't breathe through my nose so then I get dry mouth and I start coughing and I just don't sleep well. It's horrible. I decide to get the Navage in case of my next cold which I just got. I should have used it right away but I waited one day into the cold before using the Navage. Once I started using it the process was taking a while. I was very stuffed up and it was taking some effort to move the gunk. So I did it 2 times in a row and that help clear me out. Night 2 of being sick I slept like a baby. No issues with my nose being plugged. I was able to breath all night. In the morning I used the Navage again to start the day off mucus free. I ended up using the Navage 3-4 times per day for 3 days. Its amazing how will it works and how much gross stuff I cleared out of my sinuses. Highly recommend to anyone who had a cold and struggles through it. Much better then blowing you nose with no results all day. Sorry for the gross photos. But proof it works.

After our initial purchase, we really loved the Naväge system. We recommended it to others and even bought one for a friend, even though they felt it was a little pricey. The product works well and does exactly what it promises. The only drawback — and the reason I’m now considering other options — is durability. After about a year of normal use, the pump stopped working. This has now happened on two separate units. Each one lasted roughly a year before the pump failed, even with proper care and light use. Because of that, I’m now looking at other products. If the longevity of the device improves, I would gladly return to Naväge because the concept and performance are excellent. But at the current lifespan, it becomes too expensive to replace yearly. Mr. Clyde Crabb

I've used a neti pot for years, and let me tell you, this is a turbo charged neti! It's incredible! I was a little leery because of the price, but after going thru a worse than normal allergy season I finally threw a Hail Mary and ordered one of these things. It was an absolute life saver! I had instant relief; a complete game changer! It is very easy to use, but you do have to use their proprietary saline cartridges. Essentially, you fill with water to the fill line, insert a new cartridge in the top loader and snap shut, and then you insert the nozzles into your nostrils and hold the power button until the solution has purged your sinuses into the lower tank. I was impressed at how much stuff came out after I had been blowing my nose so much. Cleaning is pretty easy, you just disassemble the unit and rinse it, being mindful not to submerge the mechanical parts. So far I've had zero issues with it, everything reassembles securely and it hasn't leaked on me. If you have severe sinus issues, you should consider trying one of these.

I received my Navage in the mail today. The contents were tightly wrapped inside its box with easy written instructions and illustrations. Set up took a few minutes. I warmed a couple cups of distilled water in the microwave and poured it into the top portion. Then I positioned the saline packet in place and pressed down on the top cover. I dampened the tips before wrapping my nostrils around them (I had read a review that mentioned this) and pressed the button. I felt a slight suction and quiet vibration from the small motor running, and just relaxed as it gurgled quietly. (I prepared by wearing a casual shirt that got damp when removing the Navage while my nose was still filled with solution. And kept a clean towel and plenty of tissues handy!) The experience was very pleasant but for it to be effective it takes a bit of patience to allow it time to work. The bottom tank fills with used water, and you simply turn the tank slightly to remove it (there’s an arrow on it showing how) and discard the used water. You are required to use the Navage saline packs, but you could add something to your distilled water first, before snapping the saline packets in place. I ran the cycle four times this afternoon and tonight my sinuses are clear and refreshed. The contraption is well made and compact for storage. And I’m ready to toss out my neti-pot.

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.

Ok, I have a hell of a nose and I have thought about purchasing this for a while. I finally caved in after my runny nose won't stop and have tried everything else possible to find congestion relief. This so far has worked for me better than nose sprays and prescriptions. I'm not going to say it will do the same for you; it would be depending on your situation. I'm on day 2 of "after cleaning" and I'm at least 70% improved in my nasal experience. Saw some stuff come out that looked like it was growing in my nose. =)

El artículo funciona muy bien. Hay un gran inconveniente si se pide para México. Amazon NO PUEDE SUMINISTRAR pedidos para las cápsulas de la solución salina que requiere el equipo para funcionar para México. Así que, una vez consumidas las cápsulas que vienen con el artículo, se acabó.

Good idea in theory, but it’s too aggressive. This thing will give you a headache, threw it out.

Love it

El pedido llegó muy rápido, en buenas condiciones. La máquina funciona muy bien y cumple lo que promete

A significant improvement over other competitive nasal cleaning products, which I have used previously. What I like. A) Very easy to fill, load and clean. B) Gently "Pulling" versus "pushing" cleaning water solution through and around the nasal cavity is a much better idea. C) LIked the fact that water/salt solution flow can easily be reversed in direction from the left or the right nostril by simply "rotating" the nose insert. D) Liked the clear "visibility" before, during and after a session. E) Works efficiently requiring about 30 seconds to complete a cleaning F) Really helps to clear my sinuses, improve breathing (and sense of smell) and very helpful with Sleep. G) Extremely easy to fill correctly with pre-measured Salt Pods and water. H) very easy to rinse and clean I) The Stand is very useful for holding both the Device and Salt Pods. J) Most importantly, it is very safe !!! Summary, Navage Nasal Care is the "Absolute Best of the Bunch".
