@debminuet - That seems to be the big question recently. When my Innospire Go dies, I tried 3 different less expensive mesh nebulizers - all lasted less than 3 months using saline/levalbuterol before they clogged, leaked or died. It turns out that if you looks closely on line, almost all are similar or identical, and cheaply made.
I threw them away and vowed to stop wasting time and money until a reputable company came out with one.

Every month or so I go on a search to see what is available, with the amount of travel I do, I am willing to pay for a quality unit. BUT...everyone I think "might be the one" gets rejected when I use the User Manual - described as "self-cleaning" with using distilled water, with no provision for sterilizing. Many manuals say "do not boil, steam or microwave components" (for example, the TruNeb is just what I would like)

So as of today, I stick with my small compressor model DeVilbiss Traveler - it's a workhorse.

This is off topic, but I can't find an appropriate place to ask it....
I'm wondering is anyone has found a way to get rid of the bad odor left from nebulizing Acetylcysteine?? I tried an air purifier that listed odors as one of it's purifying capabilities, but found that it did not work.
Thanks for any ideas!

Hi Sue -- I ordered the DeVilbliss based on your recommendation. Do you know if the cups that come with it can go in the baby bottle sterilizer?

Sue- In your trials did you ever use the eRapid or eFlow by Pari? If so, what was your outcome and experience with one or the other or both?
Do you know if there are compressors that should be considered, better, for harder to fight infections??
Do you know if there are compressors that should be considered, better for a particular medication??
Hope all is well for you this Sunday.
