UBIMED Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator Kit

This product does not preform as easily and efficiently as the manufacturer states. The major problem is that it only allows for a short blast of suction. And by "short" I mean only 2 seconds at best. And the suction level is incredibly low; no where near enough to get the job done the way they say it should. I get better results from the the bulb aspirator we brought home from the hospital.

The design is uncomfortable and awkward; it makes you work at angles that don't come naturally. I'm not sure what they mean by "dolphin" design other than the look. Why they feel this shape should make things easier is beyond me. But whatever the reason...don't be fooled into thinking this is some kind of revolutionary design concept. The fact is the aspirator doesn't fit naturally or comfortably into your hand or your baby's nose.

And last, the "disposable reservoir nozzle" is nothing more than a plastic tip with a water balloon attached to it. And when I say,...Read more

I used this with my 1-year-old son last winter, and it worked pretty well. It was absolutely necessary to use saline solution a few minutes before suctioning. The suction is very gentle so the mucus needs to be thinned before using the aspirator. The motor is kind of loud and made my son wary of it (although he was more upset about having to be still). Overall I found it to be a step up from the bulb syringe, but not a miracle tool.

I'm so sad that I didn't read the reviews before wasting $[...] plus $[...] for replacement bulbs on this. And of course it can't be returned! (that would be gross!) Why was this wasted money? Because it doesn't work. The tip barely fits into my 5 month old baby's nose and he starts screaming the moment I try to get it in. Then you press the button to suction and it lightly suctions for a second and then stops (with a loud motor that scares my baby). It hardly pulls anything out, and what it does, it doesn't suction long enough to get all the way out. So then you have to fight a screaming baby to jam it back into their nose again only for it to not really work again. Every time I've tried using it I've given up before my baby's nose is drained. Oh, I forgot to mention that the balloon fills up with air after the 2 second suction and you're supposed to throw away the tip and use a new one after that. I figured out that if you pull the tip out of the machine the balloon...Read more
