Looking for a decent portable nebulizer
So many of these look the same with a different name and fizz out in short order. I’m taking a long trip soon and need one for those times you are not in your room. Suggestions?

@raybo This is a conundrum many of us face, see my post:

As of January 2025, I don't have a recommendation for you. I will be travelling to Europe this summer and will need one, so I am hoping for some advice from others. I tried 3 "cheapies" - now lasted more than a few uses without leaking.
I just ordered one and in process of sending another back. With so many people with Bronchiectasis COPD etc you’d think some medical org would do a real certification test on them. I’ll get back with names and my results.
Many people like the affordable PARI Trek for travel, available with AC adapter and/or rechargeable lithium battery. Some packages come with a car charger adapter (aka cigarette lighter). Advantages include that it works with my existing neb cups. I found it took a bit longer than the Ombra but it did the job.

1 ReactionI like this and the DeVillbiss portable, but like @raybo I would love to find a handheld mesh one that would fit in my backpack and didn't need hoses, etc.
