What is the main plus of using this product over the regular neti pot? Do they both give the same results, just a different "delivery method" ?

The neti pot requires turning your head to the side and using gravity to deliver the solution. This caused problems for me because the fluid tended to run into my ear canal and plug up my ears. With the squeeze bottle, you keep your head upright. Much better for me, your mileage may vary.

I used a neti pot and it did not work well for me when I was extremely plugged up. It did not create enough pressure to clear the area out. When I got sick with pneumonia several weeks ago, the doctor told me to use this over the pot and to apply gentle pressure. The added pressure makes all the difference when you're extremely plugged up.

The result is the same, but this is a lot less messy. You can use this while dressed without looking like you have been three stooges skit when you are finished. In other words no water flowing down your shirt.

This is much more portable. Also, this allows for a more comfortable head angle while using and can produce a more powerful stream which unclogs you better.

with the neti pot its more difficult to control the stream of the water and I just feel like it is more bulky and more difficult to clean. the squeeze bottle is far easier to use and therefore more efficient.

I was much more successful with this delivery method resulting in a more thorough and continuous flush of each nasal passage. The entire process takes less than a minute.

I've never used a netti pot. A doctor recommended that I use this. I had a persistent cough for many, many months and they could never find anything serious that was causing it. So, this particular dr. suggested that I use this, along with giving me a prescription for some type of nose spray (sorry, I don't remember the name of that) to use daily. It did help, and I've been using it now for over a year.

I find there is a slight difference in taste. It is subtle to me and hardly noticeable. However, with the regular noodle you geta stronger taste of the sauce that you are using. This is so subjective, it is hard to describe.

Assume you have a standard neti pot that is shaped like an small elongated teapot. I have a plastic one I bought on Amazon after I broke 2 ceramic ones. I use the tiny scoop that came inside the jar. Use 1 level scoopful

I'm sure they both work perfectly, but as a general rule bigger is always better when it comes to pressure cookers. The 26cm pan has more surface area for browning food and has a larger capacity. You with be able to brown in fewer batches and have more flexibility in the amount of food you can make. You can always put a smaller batch in a larger cooker and get good results but it is never o.k.to over fill a smaller pressure cooker.

I buy salts made especially for the Neti Pot. It's very inexpensive. I also buy distilled water. This is what is recommended by the Neti Pot manufacturer.

They are two different product lines. The difference, I believe is that the Best pans have thicker metal bases than the Plus. I have only used the Plus and I think a heavier weight pan would be a detriment as the Plus are quite heavy for most users.

I have used both and both seem to work equally well but I liked the convenience of no mixing so prefer the granules. Just water in or put out before heavy rain.

I would suggest a thicker pot as well. I wrote them a product review few days ago. Spoke with a rep about how he could improve his product and such. Awesome customer service!

I don't find any difference. I did find that using just a gloved hand to 'scrub' the pot or pan works better than a sponge or dish rag. You can feel any food residue that's left, or rather feel the pot/pan smooth right out. Sounds weird, I know, but it works. Don't use the cleanser or polish on any mirrored (shiny) surfaces as it seems to leave tiny scratches... I use the polish/cleanser on the inside & usually the bottom, if needed. I wash the rest with dish soap (it's also a good idea after you rise the polish or cleanser out that you do a light 'wash' with dish soap to make sure you get all the gritty residue from the polish or cleanser off the inside of the pot/pan. Also, before washing, wet the pot/pan enough so that you can make a paste with the polish or cleanser. Spread it around & let it sit for a few minutes as that seems to break down the food residue much easier.

I did look up the one sold directly by Anolon and I can see right away that it has the extra handle, the ones we purchased does not. They do appear to be the exact same except for the extra handle. They came in the Anolon packaging with warranty and instructions. We use the small one just about every day and love it! We did do some research prior to purchasing & feel lucky that we got the package deal, basically a 2 for 1. Depending on your cooking style you may want the extra handle.

I don't know the difference, but I love this pot. We use it for everything. Would make an excellent wedding gift to the couple that is just starting out. It is by far my favorite piece of cookware....

I use it instead of a neti pot and get about 5 good uses from each can. I'm shocked that other people get more uses.

This is the only one I have purchased and used! Have no idea what the difference is. However I can tell you, it is amazing!! I made a banana bread with it; absolutely out of this world!

Hi, just a little less time than ceramic. Not much but a little, I like it because it is much better to put on an open flame,and warm up. I don't use electric coffee pots anymore so you should try the Coleman Enamelware Percolator. I bought 2 of them because I like tea to. I cut the tea bags and then drop into the percolator filter. Oh by the way, the aroma in the air is wonderful. It makes me feel like I'm camping. So have fun and taste and smell the difference. It's great. Thanks for your time,,,,Terry

I don't know. I read the info on both and no differences were indicated. Made me wonder if it was different suppliers.

There doesn't appear to be any difference, even in the price. Both ship from the same place, too. Probably the same product with a different name?

This unit does it all. 200 times better than the netti pot which is junk in comparison. I use it every day with my doctors suggestions and it works great. Careful you must use reverse osmosis water or distiller water. Tap water is a no no.
