Craptastic Product of the Month Ear Wax VAC


Hello Friends,

Well I know I've been slacking on my posts and I have a few lined up to work on but I felt the need to do this one first.  I have been sick with the flu and sinus infection which led to an ear infection which led to me losing all of my hearing until it clears up.  Now if you are like me and my sons you produce ALOT of ear wax.  I watched the commercial for the Ear Wax Vac and was very excited.  I NEED that I screamed.  A while later I was at the neighborhood Family Dollar and wouldn't you know.  Ear Wax Vac $10.00.  I snatched it up.  I mean think of the money I'll save.  No more stealing, I mean asking the doctor if I can have an extra ear wax remover stick, no more buying wax removing kits, no more shooting water into my ear and it not coming back out.  Hallelujah a product has come that can save me.  Or so I thought.

Why do I call this the Craptastic product of the month.  Well first off the year isn't over so I couldn't say it was Craptastic product of the year, two Crap means well you know what it means, tastic well it would fan-diddli-astic if this thing worked.  OOOPs did I give away the ending.

Yep my friends, sadly this miracle gun doesn't work.  It doesn't suck anything but money out of your pocket.  Fresh batteries and all.  The high powered light on the ass of the gun...who are they kidding and what am I using it for?  There is no viewing lens so you are holding a big rounded thing with a little light at the ear and you really can't see anything anyway.  Spend 14.99 at Walmart and buy the ear kit that has the cool ear scope with light and magnifier in it.  It is well worth it.  Use it for eyes, ears and throat.

Now on to the most important part the sucking power is virtually nothing.  You actually have to be right up next to any fluid or wax for it to pull it out.  And unless your fluid or wax is sitting at the ear hole ready to pop out, there is no way this thing is getting it.  I had a whole Kleenex worth of wax pulled out of my ear after I tried this product.  Then I tried another time thinking okay maybe if I use my wax drops it can pull the wax out or at least some of the liquid from the drops.  Not a drop of liquid was pulled out of my ear nor was any wax.  I was so dissapointed.  It is a great idea.  But it needs a stronger motor and stronger suction.  Eventually I used the ear stick with the loop from the doctors office to clean out the wax in my ear.  It worked but left my ear sore.  I even put a few drops of water on the counter and tried to suck it up.  Like in the commercial   That is how I learned you have to be right up on it in order to suck it up.  I feel like I'm writing a letter to Penthouse with how many times I said suck in this post.  Oh well.  So do me a favor and don't waste your money on this product.  Lets write to the company and demand a stronger suction in it.  If it worked I'd pay $19.99 for it.  In one easy payment.  Heck if it worked I'd pay 2 easy payments of $14.99.

I hope I helped because after all Friends don't let friends buy Crap!
