Effective alternative method to deal with chronic sinusitis
Grossan Hydro Pulse® Pulsatile Nasal & Sinus Irrigation System is an effective way to deal with chronic sinusitis. The Health Ease-XL packets that come with it are easier on the nasal passages than OTC saline packets. Now having compared both products, I would recommend that you order the health-ease XL while ordering this sinus irrigation system.
For traveler's it is compact, easy to use, and clean up is simple as it requires only the use of tap water after daily use, and diluted vinegar once a week. The result of using this system is no more infections and this product was recommened by my ENT physician.

Wonderful!
I had been reading the reviews for months after my doctor recommended this to help with my allergies. I am highly allergic to plants in my area and the cats I live with. I have been on 3 prescriptions daily for the past 5 years, but had reached the point that the medications were no longer working. Instead of increasing the dosages, I opted to try this machine. It's amazing. This is my first review on Amazon, so it had to take something good for me to take the time to do this.
I was the type of person that sneezed many times a day, always had a runny nose and never went without tissue in my pocket...despite my prescription medication for allergies. The relief I have experienced in just a few days is amazing. I am clear, sneeze-free and it lasts all day. I would really recommend this to someone who has seasonal allergies or needs extra help beyond medication.

Lacks Longevity
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.

awesome results, but machine malfunctions in less than 1 year
I first ordered this item approximately 2 years ago and I'm now on my SECOND machine and looking for yet another replacement. The first one started malfunctioning before the 1 year warranty ended; it started just by leaking slightly after use and then progressed to the pump flat out dying if I hit the Open/Close switch on the handle.
My first unit was replaced free of charge (because I called & complained before the warranty expired); however, my second is now on the fritz and I'm going to have to pay full price for a 3rd unit in less than 3 years.
That said, this machine works wonders for my allergies; I've used the irrigation system a few times a week year-round since it arrived on my doorstep. My usage of prescription allergy meds dropped by more than half within the first few months of being able to irrigate my sinuses. I have much less sinus pain and pressure and my overall quality of life with allergies has vastly improved.
Overall, I'm completely devoted to my irrigator; it goes EVERYWHERE with me and I tell anyone I know who has sinus problems about it.
However, I'm going to see if using a WaterPik with the Grossan attachment has any longer of a life span. I'm not willing to completely forgo using this system, but I'm really disappointed in the quality of the pump inside the unit.
