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

NAVAGE is a life saver especially for elderly. Bought for 85 yr old mom. Helps her so much. Doc had her using the “medi” something and it was too much especially with arthritic hands. Manages so much easier, works so much better.

I believed the hype until I tried it out. It took me about a week and now I'm sold on it. Since using it I stopped using nasal spray. I would get real congested at night. Now I am able to sleep breathing through my nose instead of my mouth.I use it every morning and may add it to my nighttime ritual.Make sure you use Distilled Water. Also, buy the separate storage unit.

My husband is a firefighter who often struggles with his sinuses after a long shift. I got him the Navage Starter Bundle, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. His sense of smell has improved significantly, and he feels way more comfortable breathing after work.👍 Pros:• Effective sinus rinse. Really helps clear out stubborn congestion and irritants after tough shifts.• Easy to use. Setup was straightforward, and the device is simple to operate, even when you’re exhausted.• Gentle but thorough. The saline rinse feels refreshing without any harshness.• Built-in reservoir and disposable pods make it hygienic and convenient.👎 Cons:• A bit noisy. The motor has a noticeable hum, so it’s not exactly spa quiet.• Pricey upfront. The starter kit is an investment, but the benefits seem worth it so far.• Requires some maintenance. Cleaning the device regularly is necessary to keep it working well.⸻Verdict:If you or a loved one suffer from sinus issues, especially after exposure to smoke or dust, this device really helps. It’s not silent or cheap, but the relief it provides makes it worth considering.TL;DR: Great for clearing sinuses and improving breathing after tough shifts—perfect for firefighters or anyone battling nasal congestion.

Really, worth 4.5 stars.It's easy to use, very effective, disassembles for easy drying.I would note a few things:1) Unlike Neti pot, your head is erect, so to have the saline solution reach your upper sinuses, just stop while some solution is in your sinus cavities, pinch your nose, lie down, and tilt your head back. This also helps your eustation tubes. Finish by blowing your nose.2) Buy the extra cleaning kit that has the u-bend that you put in place of the nose pillows for cleaning and add water to the container. You need to use an altered empty saline pod so that you can depress the button. Add DI water, press the button to rinse the salt out and clean it. Then let it dry. This prevents you from wetting the bottom of the motor/battery chamber when cleaning. I killed a previous Navage by rinsing it and getting the electronic components wet after breaking the seal to change the batteries.

Performs as indicated and salt pods feel WAY BETTER than using salt packets and distilled water! However, if you have a deviated septum this may not be best option. There is a pretty strong suction and if one nostril is partially blocked it may feel like it's going to suck your eye out..... Not really that strong but the first time I used it, that kind of what I was thinking...... In my case, I have sinus and lung issues from military service and left side will completely stop up from tim to time. When both nostrils are funtioning properly, this thing is awesome. I have used the squirt bottle but, it leaves you with saline leaking from one side and you have to tilt head down and up many times to get it all out. That not the case here. You have to do it once but that's not bad. The item is a bit expensive but kind of worth it.

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.
