HealthAndYoga™ SteloKleen Stainless Steel Neti Pot for Sinus Congestion (Ayurvedic JalNeti)

I've been doing nasal irrigation for 15 years now and using this Stainless Steel Neti Pot for about the last 8 years. I highly recommend it! It's well made and holds 2 cups of water so it's perfect for me since I like to run a full pot through each nostril. I rinse it well with hot water after each use and leave it upside down to dry. I also remove the spout, scrub it all well and boil all the parts for 10 minutes every couple of months to sanitize.I've seen a review talking about a problem with rust and the salt solution will pit and rust the pot if not rinsed well afterwards. I will say that my first one of these did develop a little rust on the spout where it connects to the pot but it was almost three years old by that point and I can't expect it to last forever. For the price I'd buy a new one every six months if I had to. When I started nasal irrigation I was using a large syringe to push the water through, it had a soft plastic adapter that was formed to fit the nostril. It was fine when I wasn't stuffed up, but not so great when I was. My next pot was a plastic one and it worked fine but didn't hold as much water as the syringe. My next change was to Health and Yoga's Stainless Steel Pot and all I can say is get one, keep it clean and enjoy!Edit: Feb 25, 2021 I ordered and received a new pot on Feb 1st and soon noticed the stainless inside the pot had several flaws where it isn't covered. Tried to return it today and it's not eligible for return. I'm leaving five stars for now because it's been a great neti pot for years, but maybe others are right and the quality control is gone. We shall see. But I should be able to return a defective product.

This is one of the most beautiful pots I have seen. It is very easy to clean and maintains it's appearance well. The biggest challenge with most Neti Pots is keeping them clean and free of salt residue and this one solves that problem by being easy to disassemble and rinse (I believe it is dishwasher safe, but have not tested it). It also comes in a lightweight canvas bag for storage, though it is so beautiful it does not need to be hidden.Keeping my sinuses clear has been a huge challenge these past few years and returning to regular Neti Pot use has made an enormous difference in life and sleeping. For those who are new to this process there are instructions included for how to use as well as proper cleaning. I am very pleased with this purchase.This was a bundle that also came with a lightweight plastic pot for travel use. Again, very easy to keep clean and pack with toiletries for use away from home.

I bought this because it's made of stainless steel which I saw as a hygienic advantage. I've been using neti pots for a long time now as well as Neil Med's gusher thingy. This SteloKleen thing is awful. Firstly, it's not properly balanced. The spout is so heavy that the pot falls over quite easily when it's empty. Second, the bottom of the hole in the pot where the spout must literally be screwed in is a good half inch above the bottom of the pot. A good neti pot empties INTO your nose, not down your cheek and neck thru the top of the pot. But, the worst feature is the cone at the end of the spout. The metal edges are not rounded or beveled, so it's uncomfortable going into your nostril. And, go IN it must if you want to make a proper seal that doesn't admit water, in this instance via the spout/cone, down your cheek and neck. To get a good seal, you have to insert the harsh metal tip so far into your nostril that it actually hurts a little and then a little more and more if you're fighting allergies and using it frequently. Once, I tried to press a little to one side to get a better seal without going so deep. I wound up getting water into some area of my sinus cavities where it shouldn't have gone. I was gutter drunk dizzy for a good five minutes! The best neti pot I ever had was a cheap plastic deal from Walgreen's. It was shaped like Aladin's Lamp. It was comfortable, never leaked, and fully emptied INTO my nose. It was difficult to keep clean, but I'd rather buy a new one of those every year or two than use this horribly designed stainless steel torture device one more time. What a waste of money!

I was excited to purchase this product because it is made of stainless steel. However the size is way too big and the lack of handle makes it unpractical to use. Unfortunately I cannot return it. In the meantime I purchase another one that meets my requirements better.Edit: It has been 6 months since I purchased this and I have decided to use it. It took me a while to get used to it, however, now I like it lots. I like the flow and the fact that I can clean it property and it feels clean. I do not mind it any more that there is no handle, I am used to it. I would recommend it to others.
