Is the PARI eRapid® Nebulizer System worth what it costs?

To sterilize the eRapid or eFlow (same thing, different name; one is called one in the U.S. and the other in Europe), I soak in hot tap water with a drop of Dawn. Then I sterilize in Boloco baby bottle sterilizer at home. On the road I use either a ramen pot for boiling or Grownsy baby bottle sterilizer. I used to sterilize everyday, now I go every couple to few days for sterilization but everyday I give it a Dawn soak. How often for cleaning/sterilization is personal preference taking into account your comfort level and disease state.

@scoop I'm using the eRapid that came with my Arikayce, for saline. I didn't tolerate the Arikayce so am now just on Ethambutol and Azithromycin but used the eRapid for recent travel and now that I'm home, figuring out if I can use it instead of my Ombra with Aeroclipse XL, as it's much faster and silent, for everyday use.
I would love to use the Bololo baby bottle sterilizer instead of boiling for sterilization but I thought that was not advised. As in all of the info related to management of this condition there are multiple opinions that often come off as hard fast rules. Are you using it daily/2x/day and sterilizing in the Bololo daily with no ill effects?
One more question: The Arikayce medication boxes came with a new aerosol head and instructions to change the head each week. I'm thinking that's because the Arikayce med clogs the head but not necessary with saline. Thoughts? Thanks for the advice!
