Mesh Nebulizer— does anyone use one they love?

Posted by spectrumcyclist @spectrumcyclist, 3 days ago

For six years I used the Philips Innispire Mesh Nebulizer. I liked it because it was fast and easy to use and clean, and easy to travel with. I did not like its price or short lifespan compared to compressor nebulizers, but after a decade I could not take the noise of the compressors. Philips stopped making its mesh nebulizer a few years ago, and though I stocked up, I have no more that work. I have not been happy with the ones I bought to replace them— too flimsy and unreliable. Does anyone use a mesh nebulizer they love, or a website that does not get money from Amazon or anyone else when I buy one through one through website's links?

Hi Scoop
Are you in Australia? I explored the Pari EFlow but was shocked at the price here in Australia...$1500.

Glad you are liking it though.

Yes, eflow is pricey. In US I purchased it on a sale around $600.

I would like the Pari E Flow and if I can figure out how the Medicare reimbursement works I might well get one. I am disappointed that the company (I called it) will neither help with that nor refer me to a medical vendor that would help with it. Looking at the federal regulations for reimbursemt looks like the line by line code for the Webb Telescope and I am a lawyer!

From my understanding, Medicare does not reimburse for portable nebulizers. I purchased mine from Nebology. Buyer beware, even speaking with the customer service manager I was mis-informed about some of the features of the eflow. Nonetheless, I have been quite happy with it. Your best bet is to read the user manual to get an understanding of its features and care.
