WaxVac Review

Has your doctor told you that using cotton swabs are bad to use as they can compact your ear wax more or even worse, damage your eardrum? I'm sure you have already started seeing those infomercials about the WaxVac, and low and behold, I was given the opportunity to review one to see if they actually work as they claim.

Well, does the WaxVac work? Yes, to a degree. If you have what I call, "flaky, dry wax" it does work.  I tried this on my daughter and myself and did find some wax particles sucked up within the WaxVac. I tried this on my husband who has what I call, "gooey wax" and it did not work for him. His wax was too moist and compacted for it work on him.  I think he will have to stick to his mineral oil/peroxide treatment for the time being to keep his ears cleaned out.  The suction on the WaxVac just is not as great as we had hoped, but it does work for the looser, drier particles.

I will note, however, the light on the WaxVac is superb.  It is very bright and is a useful tool to have should you need to go searching for a foreign object in a forbidden orifice.  Other benefits to the WaxVac is that it is cordless and takes only 2 AA batteries to operate. It is also easy to use and is gentle to use. It comes with cleaning tips and easy reading instructions as well.

    Great review - especially the 1 AA (2.4 to 3 volt) part - with so low voltage no wonder not much vacuum. With the sales deception (2 min. at $11.99-ea. posed as 1@10 plus one free) I was wary of a "power" scam, like internal chargeable cells that cannot be replaced or cost so much that buying two vacs forces the unplanned purchase of even more.

    One point could have clearer, though. How about use of the little pump with ear wax remover solution (dispensing with syringe irrigation)? Would the waxvac work with the less viscous wax and wax remover mixture? That would save me and your husband both from needing a sink to hang our heads over. BTW, the pic shows the vac and contents with a bottle of cerumen. What's with that?

    Also not mentioned was the satisfaction (the non-limited/unconditional-money-back) warranty...whether or not buyers, along with duplicate unsatisfactory units, are "stuck" with the purchase price, or stuck with (so called) P & H, or stuck with all three, if the units prove "unsatisfactory"; also whether or not honoring the published, limited (mfg defect) warranty entails purchaser responsiblity for return or replacement P & H.

    Really, I appreciate all the tech talk from Anonymous but I really am interested in how it worked for you before I would run out and buy one... I think you explained yourself well.
