Customer Reviews of Grossan Hydro PulseŽ Pulsatile Nasal & Sinus Irrigation System
Customer Review: It Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this device three years. I have nothing but positive things to say. I mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon hydrogen peroxide into a quart of filtered water which is then warmed in the microwave. ( I'm going to add xylitol to the mix soon.) Works like a charm. Whenever I'm plugged up or sneezing, this relieves the congestion. You must endure a runny nose for half an hour but it is well worth it. I'm not a medicine taker or a health nut, but I do endorse this unit. I don't use it on a regular basis. Sometimes I use it every day for awhile, then I won't use it for weeks. I don't recommend using it more than once a day: it will dry out the sinuses. The machine is not hard to use and it is durable. It works just as it should. When finished I always fill the tank with saltless tap-water and run it through enough that the salt water is replaced. I dry everything. That's it. When you get use to the routine, it is quick and easy. The machine doesn't leak and it is not noisy. Come on folks! I look forward to trying xylitol.Customer Review: Say Goodbye to Nasal Headaches
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent 5 years trying to determine what was causing my headaches when I was riding my bicycle training my wife for marathons. At 47 my doctor said "maybe you're too old to ride a bike". I threw away all the drugs he had prescribed (they didn't do anything anyway) and got busy researching on the net. The Dec, 2000 Time magazine had an article about this homeopathic method for flushing your nasal passageways using the Nasal Irrigator with just warm water and salt.
Well, I'm 58 now, I know why I had nasal issues, I know how to clean my nasal passages, I don't need to use drugs, I fly without any problems, and I've never felt better. This is my second nasal irrigator. I bought the first one so long ago, Amazon didn't handle them back then. You know what they say about being better than sliced bread? This tool definately is it! BTW, This is the best health product I've ever owne.
I even bought one for my mother in law and now she even thinks I'm not so bad. I have a new doctor also! (One that doesn't throw drugs at every little problem)
Customer Review: My sinuses couldn't care less about longevity
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, yes, it's all true. The Grossan is a miracle worker for your sinuses. I am a Grossan Evangelist and have converted two friends. It's also true that it is cheaply made. But c'mon people, who cares? Really? You rate this low because it doesn't last long? You act like you are reviewing a DVD player here. This is your life. This is your health. I just had septoplasty with turbinate reduction this week. Well, my crap luck that my Grossan died a couple months back (after 1+ years of regular.... very regular use). I didn't bother to replace it and I got sent home from surgery with that cheap little bottle to flush my sinuses. A mess. It's too small and it's to easy to over-pressurize your sinuses. Anyway, I am online at Amazon today to order a new one. I just ordered it and for probably the second time in my life I ordered something "Over night". It cost $16 extra bones. I am not rich, but I am not going to suffer 5-8 days without my grossan. Get over the longevity issue people. Life is too short to suffer.Customer Review: Works, but is the cheapest, worst made piece of junk I have ever owned.
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing works great. It clears out the stuff in your sinuses and has been the only thing that brings me relief from sinus congestion.
That being said, it is, without a doubt, the cheapest piece of junk I have ever owned. And I've owned FOUR of these puppies. I've never had one last more than a year, and yes I follow all the instructions, using distilled water and flushing the system out after use. At $100 a pop, that gets expensive.
They inevitably start leaking all over the place, and once that happens, the motor burn-out will occur shortly after. I never would have bought more than 2 if I wasn't so desparate for it.
There appear to be other nasal irrigators on the market now. I have not tried them, but after throwing $400 at the Grossan over the last 4 years, I am going to try something different.
So to sum it, it works well, but is almost guaranteed to fail on you with any kind of regular use. Be prepared.
Customer Review: Lacks Longevity
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a convert to the idea of nasal irrigation, having previously used a waterpik with a nasal adapter for several years. There is no question that nasal irrigation can alleviate sinus problems. I decided to try the Grossan Nasal Irrigation System and found the pulsation an improvement over the waterpik. The Grossan provides more control over the strength of the stream of water. HOWEVER, my Grossan began to link around the 8th month of use and completely failed 29 days after the one year warranty. Considering that the Grossan is close to $100, I can't recommend it. It is too expensive when it fails in so short a time. Another reviewer mentioned that he had gone through two Grossans in a relatively short period of time. I took the Grossan apart after it failed to see if there was any way I could fix it. The motor is not well protected from any water seepage which suggests to me that once it begins to leak through the bottom, its days are limited.
