We’ve used the Fridababy snot sucker through two kids and decided to switch to electric for the third. I hated how much our babies hated the manual one and how it seemed like we always got sick from inhaling their viral particles. Well, the new one definitely solved that problem, so that’s a win. Our baby still hates it though and screams now at the sight of the device. She’s only 12 months, though, and we were using it multiple times a day for a few weeks, so she may be a bit traumatized. The lights don’t seem to do anything to distract her. It definitely gets snot out, though I feel like we have to use it again within 10-20 minutes because she’s dripping snot again. It feels like maybe the suction isn’t as strong as with the manual one and we don’t quite get alllll the snot out. It does a decent job though. Last thing: I read reviews that said to get the foam filters from the manual version to keep snot from getting into the motor and breaking it. We got a pack, cut them in half and stuck half a filter in the little circular hole each time, and oh my gosh it works. Snot gets in that area and all over the filter, but not into the motor. We have to change out the filter about every single time we use the device, though. It looks like this is a huge design flaw and has caused lots of these to break down. IMO the filter should be a required piece in the unit and Fridababy needs to include a pack and add into the instructions that a filter should always be used to keep snot from getting into the motor.

The electric nose Frida gets the job done and seems pretty gentle and is easier than doing with a nose bulb or nose Frida (non electric) but it sucks a lot of snot and we’ve had to get two replacements because the snot gets stuck in the back and it eventually stops working even after doing the care/cleaning methods so my final thought is it’s great but I wish it lasted longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is a must have for a child in daycare! With the viral infection that come home monthly since we started daycare the electric Frida has been game changing! It quickly removes the snot, with minimum resistance from the child.

The first time I used this, I put saline in my daughters nose as instructed which was a disaster. The saline went through the hole into the inner chamber of the device. The next time I tried it, I decided not to use any saline. This time the device worked as advertised.
