Need Advice for Traveling Internationally

I just returned from traveling for a month in Italy. I use the Pari Trek S nebulizer, my Aerobika, a handheld massager instead of my vest and tried to use the drizzle pot for sterilizing. Unfortunately, the drizzle pot got very hot with a high rolling boil, and then would shut off. When it was no longer overheated, it would go on again. So it wasn’t the best method.
I try to use a Medela baby bottle steam bag, but the microwave in one of the apartments just didn’t seem to get hot enough.
Because I was staying in apartments. I also purchased a pot and boiled my equipment.
Word of caution… Do not bring an Ombra outside of the US. The company advises against it even though the voltage might be compatible the frequency is not.
I hope this is helpful,
Linda Esposito

@becleartoday so great to have your feedback on these items! A few followup questions...
How does the Pari Trek S compare to Ombra speed wise?
How effective was the handheld massager instead of vest?
It seems the Drizzle does not get your endorsement.
Hope you had a wonderful trip all month long! Wow!

I was considering the purchase of a backup compressor for nebulizing just in case the one I have suddenly dies. I thought it would be better to have one on hand than to be without until I could get another one. The one I have now is called "Qube" and plugs in the wall. It was the one my insurance paid for and was provided by the local Respiratory Supply company in town. Seems to work fine, but I have nothing to compare to since this is the only one I've had so far. Thoughts from anyone about brands to purchase for backup use would be appreciated.
