I didn't think I would need it. My husband overnighted the electric version and it has been a lifesaver. It's more gentle and has precise suction so I think safer and easier than fighting with the manual one or the blue bulb. I also suggest getting the baby saline drops and putting a drop or two in her nostril in the morning before sucking- like a tiny neti pot situation. I've had allergies/sinus issues my whole life and I hope this saves my LO from the sinus pressure pain that I dealt with in m...
'Lifesaver'; 'more gentle and has precise suction'; 'safer and easier' than manual or bulb. Strong positive with specific benefits.
We have the electric nosefrida pro and absolutely love it. We have 3 of them and I've definitely used it for myself to test how it is since my son screams bloody murder every time.
'Absolutely love it'; owns THREE of them (extreme repeat purchase). Tested on self. Son screams but product works well enough to justify 3 units.
I have both and the regular nose frida works better but my baby hates it and I do the electric one for day to day maintenance. Use it with some baby saline drops and you will get those boogies out!
Owns both; manual works better but uses electric for 'day to day maintenance'. Finds a role for it despite acknowledging it's less powerful.
We have both. The snot sucker is more thorough but I also find it gross and it's harder to clean - yet more important to clean - so for these reasons I'm reluctant to use it unless things are really bad. So I got the electric one for the in between times. Your baby is still too young to really fight you on it, but once they know what's happening and decide they don't like it, it's easier to sneak in with the electric than setting up the snot sucker.
Uses electric for 'in between times' — less thorough than manual but easier to use stealthily. Convenience over performance tradeoff.
We have to use both the electric Frida and then the manual one for best results. Both are fine on their own, but the electric seems to do a good job of loosening stuff while the manual actually gets it all out.
'Fine on its own' but electric only loosens — manual 'actually gets it all out'. Functional but incomplete on its own; used as first step in two-step process.
I just like the regular frida snot sucker, we've tried the electric and it just doesn't get as much
Tried both; electric 'just doesn't get as much' as the manual. Inferior performance compared to its own manual sibling.
The braun nasal aspirator is the best I've used (electronic). Saline first then use it. The electronic nose Frida was cool until the motor randomly crapped out. Also boogers used to get passed the collection shield. Ick. The Braun one has been amazing. I found it in the pharmacy section of target. Looks like it's like $30 on Amazon.
'Cool until the motor randomly crapped out'; boogers passed the collection shield. Product failure (motor) plus design flaw (inadequate shield).
My husband was also squeamish so we got the electric version but it really can't hold a candle to the OG. The bulbs are just the worst with no good way to clean. The nose frida is truly the only way to go. Though just get a knock off brand so you can get 2 for the same price
'Can't hold a candle to the OG' — bought electric due to squeamishness but manual is 'truly the only way to go'. Clear inferiority.
YUP! We have both & the electric Frida one, once used enough, shoots snot out of the back hole. You have to shoot a ton of water through it or it'll shoot out old, brown snot months later when your kid is sick again (and we clean out the compartment thoroughly every time). The manual one ends up being less gross in the end. Super easy to clean & lasts a year or so.
'Shoots snot out of the back hole'; 'old, brown snot months later' despite thorough cleaning. Serious design flaw making it grosser than the manual in practice.
It's on Amazon by a brand called Grownsy. We also had the FridaBaby one but it broke instantly
'Broke instantly' — product failed immediately. Switched to Grownsy. Strong negative due to zero durability.
Our 3-month-old baby DETESTS having any sort of congestion and it's been a nightmare to manage these past few weeks. We've tried saline drops, saline spray, the Oogiebear nose picker, and the electric nasal aspirator from Frida. 5-15 minutes of a screaming baby and I *might* get the mucus out. I got fed up and finally bought the NozeBot and tried it out this morning. Two sprays of saline followed by 5 seconds of suction. The mucus flew out and she instantly calmed. 10/10 recommend!
'5-15 minutes of a screaming baby and I might get the mucus out' — then NozeBot solved it in 5 seconds. Dramatic failure leading to replacement purchase.
We just got ours. 7 month old twins with RSV — hoping it helps. The Electric Nose Frida is hot garbage!
'Hot garbage' — extreme negative. Parent of twins with RSV who needed it to work and it didn't.
