I have bought three of the Sinugators over the past 3 years. There is a good and bad reason for this. The GOOD reason being that this is the best portable sinus rinse device on the market. Waterpik used to make an awesome device but they discontinued it a couple years ago due to customer complaints. I now use the NeilMed Sinugator at least once a day and I believe it has been the main reason I haven't had the cold of flu for the past 3 years. It's an amazing feeling being able to breath freely without any obstruction. When I mentioned to my doctor that I use a sinus rinse daily he was quick to comment how it is more effective than antibiotics for most people. The Sinugator is quick and easy to use, and your sinus passageways are flushed out in 30 seconds or less. I think the idea of using a neti pot is ridiculous after using an electric device such as the Sinugator.
Ok, now the BAD reason why I've purchased three of these. As other reviewers have noted, this device has the tendency to stop working after a few weeks or months. I believe my second one stopped working after 30 - 45 days. The good news is that you can fix this by removing 3 screws and pulling the guts out of the device. The metal trigger piece which has a copper connector has a tendency of corroding. This would not happen if they used a gold connector (shame on them). I personally use a small piece of fine sandpaper to clean off the corrosion and then I place a drop of oil on the connector. I'm not sure how long the layer of oil lasts, but I'd like to believe that it helps to prolong the need for another cleaning. I've had to disassemble these devices several times each over the past 3 years. In the end it is worth all the trouble. I've attached a photo of what the inside device looks like.
Why 5 stars then if this device has a design flaw? Well, I personally believe that it would be hypocritical to give it less than 5 stars after buying several of them. I will probably order it again in the future unless another company comes out with something better.

Please read caution and warning card provided in the box before using this product. Directions for Assembly:
- Step 1: Open the battery compartment by sliding the switch to the left (open position), lift up the panel and place 3 AA batteries as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the panel and slide the switch to the right (locked position).
- Step 2: Slide the white soft tube over the white rigid tube on the bottom of the motor unit.
- Step 3: Attach the nasal irrigator tip to the top of the motor unit.
- Step 4: Press the blue switch to make sure unit is active.
Directions for Use:
- Step 1: Please wash your hands. Fill the clear blue reservoir with 240 mL (8 fl oz) volume of distilled, microfiltered (0.2 micron), commercially bottled or previously boiled & cooled down water at lukewarm or body temperature. Please do not use tap or faucet water for dissolving the mixture unless it has been previously boiled and cooled down.
- Step 2: Cut the SINUS RINSE mixture packet at the corner and pour its contents into the blue reservoir of the Sinugator. Place the white motor unit over the blue reservoir and rotate until locked. Swirl the unit thoroughly to dissolve the mixture.
- Step 3: Standing in front of a sink, bend forward to your comfort level and tilt your head down. Keeping your mouth open, without holding your breath, place the tip snugly against your right nasal passage or nostril. Press the blue power button until the solution starts draining from your left nasal passage. Depending on the head position, residual solution may drain from your mouth. We suggest to spit it out, however, there is no harm, if accidentally swallowed. For a proper rinse, keep pressing the power button until at least 1/4 to 1/2 (60 mL to 120 mL or 2 to 4 fl oz) of the solution is used for one nostril. Stop pressing the power button if you feel any discomfort, pain or pressure during the irrigation.
- Step 4: Blow your nose very gently, without pinching nose completely to avoid pressure on eardrums. If tolerable, sniff in gently any residual solution remaining in the nasal passage once or twice, because this may clean out the posterior nasopharyngeal area, which is the area at the back of your nasal passage.
- Step 5: Now repeat steps 3 and 4 for flushing your left nasal passage or nostril.
Cleaning Direction:
Clean the Sinugator by running plain water and dry with a clean lint free towel and then air dry the unit by keeping it open to the air. The nasal irrigator tip, blue reservoir and white soft tube can be disinfected by placing in the home microwave for 60 seconds. (Read additional details in enclosed brochure.) Clean the entire unit with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and water every three days to keep the unit clean. Please make sure to run enough water during each wash so no soap is left behind.
WARNINGS: Do NOT place the white motor unit in microwave for disinfection. Because of the unit's stainless steel components, this can cause damage or fire hazards.

Affordable and perfect..you need this in your life!
There isn't much to not like about this little gem. I seriously wish I had known about these sooner as I may have been able to avoid a sinus infection. I loved my neti pot but since I had nasal surgery it doesn't work well on one side of my nose. This little machine worked perfectly had just the right amount of power and I felt like it took a lot less time to use. My only concern is the battery opening was very difficult to open at first. I scratched up the plastic quite a bit trying to get the little door off. Came with great Duracell batteries which was really makes the price point hard to beat.
