Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?
Does anyone have any nebulizer recommendations. Would like something compact and easy to clean. Also any online sites that people recommend to get your supplies such as nebulizer and saline vials from? briefly looking it seems like there are a lot of options and they are fairly inexpensive.

I bought my nebulizer from saveritemedical.com. It is an AeroEclipse XL, made by the same company as the Aerobika. The US supplier of both is Monaghan. Monaghan has customer service folks who have always been helpful with my questions. What I like about the AeroEclipse XL is that it's breath actuated. You can set it to produce the mist continuously like other nebulizers OR only when you inhale. I feel I get far more of the medication and/or saline this way, since it's not misting when I exhale or take a brief break to cough or take a drink. It can also be attached to the Aerobika, so you are getting saline while using the flutter valve. It must be replaced every 6 mos. and I paid $15 for it. I bought two to avoid paying postage again in 6 mos. I finally also bought their compresssor, the Ombra, because it has the correct flow and pressure requirement for the AeroEclipse XL. Good luck with all the choices. Donna T
New here with BE but in the category of learning how to avoid NTM. Upped my game and purchased what you did, the Ombra, AeroEclipse XL and Aerobika. 7% saline is the only thing I neb. Time consuming, plus cleaning & sterilizing. Clearance perhaps a bit better than Innospire Go but jury still out.
Philips stopped making the Innospire Go. People returned them for replacement because they stopped working. The fix for non-working device is easy. Wipe the gold contacts with an alcohol pad (on the handheld piece) and it'll keep working. That doesn't solve the replace the head every year advice, though.
Pari makes a portable called Velox, available in Europe only. Maybe available in US in awhile as there is a market need but no plans now. Pari also makes eFlow. Looks amazing and gets great reviews by users. Last time I looked it was $800+. Gulp. If the cleaning is straight forward I might spring for it.
Unrelated: AD app is an excellent coach for autogenic drainage, complete with timer and counter. Created for CF community but anyone can use. Free on app store.

2 ReactionsLooking at the eFlow it seems the main advantage is greatly reduced treatment time and multiple energy sources. If neither of those are important to you, would it be worth the $800? If you learn of any other advantage to it let us know! Thanks
are you liking the pro nebu?
@healthybon No, the ProNebu I received only worked sporadically. But my experience is not a good example to use. Life at that point in time became quite challenging so I never followed up with the company to replace it. Perhaps someone else here has used the ProNebu and can provide a fair evaluation. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
I did not like the ProNeb. It takes forever to (like an hour)to neb the saline solution.

1 ReactionIs this the same as the ProNeb Max by Pari? Or something different. The one by Pari works well and only takes 10 minutes or so.
No. The one I dont like is the Pronebu.
