This item came partially charged so that I was able to use it right away. Very important since my little one has pneumonia & this was a same-day order that turned into an overnight order (not problem with seller, tracking showed item was on Amazon truck for delivery the day I ordered).

I cannot give a long-term usage review yet but as of the first day this item is amazing.

I like the different levels of suction. I have only used up to 5 thus far.

The silicone nasal tip was very soft & not too large for my tot's nose, she's very small for her age.

The compressor is not overly loud, much better than the aspirator that I tried before this that uses your vacuum's power for suction (that item had problems because the tubing would not properly air dry after 2 days of hanging up so I was worried about mold growing).

This item was very easy to clean. Make sure you hold the suction bottle firmly at both the top & bottom when you go to remove the tubing because it has a very tight grip on the bottle, mine started to pop apart before I readjusted my hands--you don't want the suctioned snot to spill all over :)

It is morning so I haven't tried the item in the dark but I pressed to see the 3 levels of light & I believe that the lowest level will be perfect for in the middle of the night.

The music function seems like a nice idea for littler kids & kids who aren't used to medical equipment. My little one has a nebulizer & feeding pump so this machine's noise did not bother her once I told her it was just a new "boogie sucker" (what we call the rubber nasal bulb aspirator that we were using previously).

The machine seems to charge quickly because it is already almost back up to full charge just during the time that I have been typing this. I absolutely love that this uses a USB-C cord to charge, the same as my cell phone so it is very convenient for the purposes of traveling with the aspirator. I wish that there was a traveling case made for it. But I believe that there is enough room in the bag that I turned into a case for my daughter's nebulizer, which also doesn't have a specific case made for it. [I will try to write a review for that soon to help out other medical parents, along with bag that I found to fit her emergency diazepam seizure med]

For size reference I took a picture of this aspirator next to my daughter's feeding pump & a standard lip balm.

There is a paper insert giving you the info, so make sure that you register your product promptly to receive the extra 1 year of extended warranty :)

We just got ours this morning and luckily the battery comes charged. I immediately was able to get so much snot out of my sick baby's nose and it was so quick. Way easier than manually sucking it out by mouth! It has a lot of suction settings also. We only had it on 3 and it worked great for my 8mo old. So with a lot more settings I can tell it'll work for a long time with both of my kids!

We love it! It's easy to use and easy set up.

We love this machine but after 4 months it has suddenly stopped charging. Big bummer. 5 stars for machine in use.

UPDATE: company called me and sent me a new machine. Back to 5 stars

The nasal aspirator works well and can be easily cleaned. However, it requires charging after every use, and attaching/removing it to/from the suction pipe is not very convenient. Additionally, it only has one music tone, which could be improved by adding more options.
