Firstly let me say I never thought i would be one of those people writing a glowing review of any product - no matter how good! I have had sinus issues for many years and even had an operation to remove nasal polyps which was successful for a while but I had been suffering from chronic nasal congestion for 3-4 months. I had a low grade fever, headaches, was lethargic, lost my sense of taste and smell and could not sleep properly as my blocked nose impaired my breathing. I have also tried numerous antibiotics, nasal drops and a neti pot in the past but with limited success. I was literally at my wits end and thinking I would have to look into further surgery for any kind of relief. I had done lots of research on the internet but nothing seemed to guarantee a positive response - mainly it was people saying they could NEVER find anything to help longterm. I have to say I ordered the SinuPulse in desperation - it is not cheap but I could not stand feeling the way I did any longer. The machine arrived quickly and was very easy to set up and use. I used it morning and night for about 10 days and my problems literally cleared up like magic! All of the secondary symptoms were alleviated immediately and within 3 or 4 days it was obvious the infection was being cleared out. I am so grateful and thankful I decided to give it a go and would recommend it to anyone with sinus issues like mine. I have it on standby now in case of winter colds which always led to sinus problems for me!

SinuPulse Elite Advanced Nasal Sinus Irrigation Spray System Following a month of severe Sinusitis and severe tooth pain (that antibiotics failed to resolve) I tried two things simultaneously. The two things I did were to cut out ALL dairy produce from my diet and second, I purchased and used this product - twice daily. This gave relief within a couple of days which I'm pleased to say was sustained over a month later. I'm not 100% sure how effective the machine was compared to the diet change but it certainly helped. I suspect that the most effective relief was cutting out the dairy produce because when I allowed myself even a small amount, my symptoms quickly returned. I had use for only one nozzle, the main one with the dark blue tip as the sprays and mouth sprays were of no use to me. The SinuPulse electronic system was not something I was comfortable to take on flights - it seems fragile - and so I took a bottle system when my sinuses were clear enough to fly to maintain the rinses. The sinus rinse bottle system seemed to work as well for much less cost although sometimes I had to mix a couple of rinses as the bottles held half the volume. (NeilMed market a 240 ml bottle, available in BOOTS - there is a half size Paediatric version on Amazon). Take care with your choice, some products are less helpful. The largest bottle I found was 240 ml and this is less than half the volume of this product. I had previously used a neti pot and recently other systems of nasal rinse. It is hard to be sure which is better. Yes, it is better to have the solution pumped through but there is less volume than I would have used with a neti pot. Sometimes I had to make a couple of rinses for it to feel effective with the machine. (For those who want the gross detail, it is also possible to 'gargle' not with the throat but with the nasal passageways to really clear this area.) Another benefit overall was that I have stopped using decongestants and over the counter nasal sprays - but for me, this also required the complete cutting of dairy produce from my diet. The system was also helpful in clearing the airways before using a prescription steroid nasal spray. The spray alone did not clear the passageways - but it remains helpful and I continue it along with the nasal irrigation. Although I'm not 100% clear I'm vastly improved and sleeping with clear passageways at night without a long ritual to clear the airways. The product is expensive for what a bottle will do but it is a valuable and useful product.

I have suffered from chronic sinusitis (on and off) for about 5 years now but, since moving to Shanghai last year, I have been suffering constantly. Without wanting to be too graphic, it was like having chewing gum stuffed in to my sinuses and not being able to get it out without massive doses of antibiotics, steroid sprays, sudafed pills and spray and the squeezy bottle with salt solution. All these, however, barely managed to reduce the symptoms enough for me to consider myself healthy again. I went from stuffy to completely blocked - never totally free and clear. Until this. I brought it while on a visit back to the UK out of desperation as nothing else has worked. I've been using it twice a day for about 2 to 3 weeks and have now reduced to once daily for the past 2 weeks. 5 weeks of treatment in total and I am pretty much symptom free. I use it with warm, distilled or pre-boiled water and it really does work a treat. To begin with, I'd have to use the Sudafed spray just to release enough pressure to be able to flush at all. I was so blocked that the squeezey bottle just wouldn't force the solution all the way through and would just leak everywhere. I no longer need any medications at all. I use it religiously, even when all appears well, and it's amazing what it actually gets flushed out each night. I never knew quite how blocked I was. It sounds as though I work for the company, having just re-read this review. I NEVER leave reviews either but am so relieved that I have found a solution. And a drug-free one too!!! I will travel with the squeezey bottle but I think I will be using the Sinupulse Elite every night for the foreseeable future. It's sooooo nice to be able to breathe properly, not snore as much (according to my wife), not suffer with as many allergies, not take all the drugs and not wake up feeling like someone has stuffed cotton wool in my mouth and more chewing gum up my nose. Sorry, but it's absolutely true. Every single word. I may even buy a spare as I live in China right now. I can't bare the thought of having to go back to the drugs if something happened to my machine. I did have one small issue. One of the little "arms" snapped. It could have been weakened during shipping or something but their customer service has been outstanding and I have a new one in the post as we speak after just a couple of days from my initial email. I cannot say enough (as you can likely tell by now!) about the Sinupulse Elite. I'm symptom free for the first time in a very long time and it was well worth the financial leap of faith that I took. But even with the price and the salts (which I find somewhat superior to the ones that came with my old Squeezey bottle), it HAS to be cheaper than all those doctors visits, prescriptions, sudafed spray and pills, endless boxes of tissues. I think I've made my point. If you're suffering from Sinusitis, BUY THIS MACHINE and find something else to complain about. It won't be sinuses.

I purchased my sinu-pulse in November 2012 after a two-month sinus problem. I used to dread catching a cold because I knew it would lead to infected sinuses and ultimate anti-biotic treatment. Within a week of using the machine twice a day, I had cleared the infection but was still suffering congestion due to swollen sinuses. I did get from the doctor beconase which sorted out the inflammation. I have just had a cold and used the machine each day just once. For the first time in 35 years my cold lasted just one week. This is unbelievable, normally by now I would be battling with a blocked, crusty nose and a sinus infection. This is undoubtably the most gentle way to sort out recurring sinus infections. I would add, you have to perservere. Don't blow your nose too hard after using it unless you block any problem ear first. I found that by inverting my head during use it gets right into the sinuses around the eye and cheek area. After about 15/20 minutes invert your head again and the remains of the salt water will just wash out of your nose. It is very noisy, I would say that is a very small price to pay for healthy sinuses. I would just add that in my experience congestion relief medicine does not do any favours to sinus sufferers in fact I think it makes the condition worse. This machine is all I need now.

Wow! What a piece of kit this SinuPulse has turned out to be. On average, my wife has to go to the doctors twice a year for antibiotics to clear her sinuses. She gets the constant headaches, the nasaly speech, etc. You can blow your nose until it sore, but it won't cure the problem. If you're reading this, you've probably been through the same thing. I don't want to be too gross here, but she was absolutely amazed at how much "Came out", if you know what I mean? It was like a "hallelujah" moment, "I can breathe!" Even I've had a go, and was amazed. If your dithering about whether to get one, don't. I have no affiliation to any of them, only the experience I have outlined above. It might seem a tad expensive, but the instant relief it gives the sufferer is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone, Tony.

I am baffled. It comes with it seems a EU plug. Says 110V only. There’s no UK adaptor in the box. I don’t know what it needs. Was too ill to use it on purchase and now it seems I have wasted a huge amount of money on something I cannot use in the UK. One star because can’t give it none! My husband told me it was an American plug. The instructions say “do not use an adaptor”. After messaging the supplier several times and finally Amazon after finding out that, well actually, I believe, this should not have been sold in the UK with this voltage and this plug, I managed to obtain a refund. Thank you Amazon.

This is a reasonable product but for me did not deliver the benefits I thought it would. About the machine itself, the build quality and design in my opinion is very poor. Firstly the water tank always comes off the unit whenever I take it out of the cupboard. The tank itself is sort of a stepped design and the only thing connecting it to the base is where the outlet from the tank goes into the base unit. This does not keep the two things together. I have also accidentally knocked the water tank off the unit and due to its lack of fixing to the base, meant that the solution from the tank went everywhere. The actual way you put water into the unit (I use a pyrex jug) means that it can spill down the front into the dial switch. There is no sort of lip or anything to contain excess water. Of course I'm being a little ham fisted when I fill it up, but having a lip or a recessed filling point would stop this from happening. The dial flow control on my unit is very stiff and is difficult to turn with one hand. This also isn't helped by the positioning of the dial. You sort of have to twist your wrist around to actuate it. Hard to do when you are using the unit and want to adjust the pressure. As others have mentioned the power button sticks and I have to kind of flick it with my finger to turn the unit off. Turning on is no problem. The unit is very noisy - not too dissimilar from a blender. The power cable and pipe for the nozzle always seem to get twisted up. Now onto the health benefits... This is very subjective as everyone is different but I have found the ability to remove mucus from my nose is not very good. But then again I had the same problem with a neti-pot and I supposed I expected more from this unit as it is a powered spray. However, after use my nose does feel clearer - but it fails to dislodge the mucus I have that is stuck up at the top of my nose that restricts my sense of smell. I give this item 3/5 mainly due to the poor build quality. It doesn't give me personally that much benefit but I can see for some people it would be very helpful. Finally, the sachets that you must purchase to use the unit are very expensive. Something to bare in mind if you are using this twice daily and intend to buy the approved sachets.

Lo que me gusta de este producto es los resultados ques estoy teniendo en mi tratamiento. Lo compre por prescripción médica.

鼻炎に悩まされており購入してみました。 日本語訳の説明書も入っていて迷うこともなくありがたかったです。 操作も簡単ですぐに使えました。 水圧も程よく鼻がスッキリします。 まだ使用開始後1週間ほどですが使用感がとてもよく鼻炎も改善されるので使うのが楽しみになっています。 鼻の加湿や舌や喉の洗浄加湿もできるので、 冬の乾燥時、インフルエンザなどの予防にも良いと思います。 良い機器に出会えて嬉しいです。

Ho atteso qualche settimana per essere sicuro ma devo dire che questa macchina mi ha aiutato molto a combattere la sinusite ed i miei problemi connessi al naso. L'utilizzo non è né complicato né fastidioso ed in poco tempo diventa un'abitudine.

I have tried lots of Sinus Wash products and devices and was a big fan of the NeilMed products for years. Now I have upgraded from the 1960's VW Bug to the 2013 Ferraris Sinus wash. This is a real product innovation. The Design, look and feel is nearly identical to those WaterPik machines. The operation is similar as well. The product works great. Has a 3 Cup Reservoir for better, longer rinses. I am using this product with Alkalol and a 2X Hypertonic Solution. I have been a chronic sinusitis sufferer for decades. I finally had a corrective surgery done back in 2009 and had very little problems or recurring Sinus Infections until June of 2012. Then I was back to back Sinus Infections from June of 2012 until the first week of October of 2012. I was pretty much sick the entire time and absolutely miserable. I returned to my specialist, Dr. Hung, for relief since he fixed me up so well with the surgery. Apparently I had Polyps that were induced by the chronic sinus infections and the only way to get rid of them was to either treat aggressively with Steroids, Anti-Biotic and multiple Sinus Washes a day or try step 1 followed by another surgery. My goal was to control the swelling and remediate my symptoms without the need for surgery. I was desperate for relief and Dr. Hung even recommended a 1/2 teaspoon of baby shampoo in the sinus wash to getter better results by adding emulsification to the mix. While that helped it was horrible and I hated it. I got on the web and started searching. I came across this product and a few others. Out of all the ones I have tried nothing has offered me as much relief as this unit. By following My Dr.'s Recommendations and incorporating this into my routine I have managed to achieve in 3 weeks what we could not achieve in almost 4 months of treatments. My sinus swelling has returned to normal, The Polyps completely shrank allowing for the remnants to be removed as part of a normal office visit without a surgery. My breathing is back to normal and I am down to 1 Sinus wash per day. No More Anti-Biotic and no more steroids. I am feeling great and breathing perfectly and it has been 4 weeks straight without a problem. Prior to this I haven't gone more than 3 days without the Sinus infection returning full force as soon as I finished a run of an anti-biotic. I believe this Unit, combined with following my Dr.'s instructions and the Alkalol I was able to finally get control of my sinus infections and return to normal health. I am extremely pleased with the results. I am a huge fan of this product. I really highly recommend it. I also Highly recommend the Alkalol - A Natural Soothing Nasal Wash, Mucus Solvent and Cleaner Kit - with Cup, 16-Ounce to go with it. One side note. I found the "Attachments" are a bit lacking on how well they can reach into a sinus area. I ended up modifying the jet throat rinse attachment to be a simple thin straw without that weird, unnecessary round piece at the end. That way I am able to CAEFULLY get the stream aimed into my sinuses and actually can feel when I "getting in there" and actually getting the infection and other crap out. My modification makes this unit perfect for me. I simply used a Dremel sanding wheel to remove the excess plastic and smooth the surface again.

This review is far past due from me, especially now with COVID-19. The uniti is not without it's design flaws, to be covered later, but it does work for it's intended purpose. That is, cleaning out your nasal cavity, mouth and throat to help you breath better and prevent illness. In fact, it can be used to prevent flu and COVID-19. Do searches for articles with the following for dosing "baxter covid nasal iodine irrigation" and "uconn today covid iodine". You'll need some povidone-iodine, diluted in the normal saline solution. I don't use their packets for saline as they're far too expensive. I just use distilled water, shop around for that as I've seen a huge range for gallon jugs ($0.87-$2+), kosher salt and baking soda. I mix in a Ball jar as it has a top and is graduated. Add 16 oz of distilled water, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, shake, and microwave for about a minute. The amount of time to heat it will vary with your water temperature and your microwave. The goal is to get it not cold, not hot, just barely warm. Test it on your wrist like baby formula, if it's too hot you'll know right away as you'll burn your nose and it will hurt a great deal. Using the white nozzle on your hand and if it's only warm then your nose will help. BE cautious until you figure out how long to heat it for. Warm water does do a better job and feels more comfortable than room temperature water. Later I'll write up a full procedure I use. By design it has many flaws that are easy and low cost to fix, I wish the manufacturer would address them. The top can not be flat because of design flaws and molding issues. This is easily solved by getting rid of the useless door. A single piece top that's easy to take off and put on would be lower cost, flat, seal better, and be more useful. The bottom of the tank should have tapers instead of being two parallel flat regions so as to direct water to the port. It has a power range of 1-7 but I've only ever used 4-7 so the lowest settings are useless. Further, you have to hold the dial when at 6 or 7 because if you let go, it will spin back to 5 all on it's own because of the water pressure in the pump. Ironically, the dial is held in place by the case so if saltwater dries in the slot, you'll have to break the dial free. Overall, I think it would be better to have buttons to engage the 4, 5, 6, and 7 settings. It leaks. more and more over time. There will be a puddle under the unit as it has drain holes in the bottom, make sure you pick it up and tilt it after use to get out any remain salt water so it doesn't get contaminate or get to the circuit board just above the bottom of the unit. I'll write more later, I just wanted people to get one and start using it for now. UPDATE: It lasted a little over a year, leaking water out the bottom. It doesn't pulse anymore, it just sort of dribbles a weak flow at 250 ml/minute at full power. It's a wonderful idea but it just didn't last so I called them since it's got a two-year warranty. WOW, what a wonderful service call, they spent time with me to go over and test it and then they shipped me a replacement right away after it didn't meet their minimum 500 ml/minute.
