Recommendations for portable handheld nebulizers

Posted by jerry22748 @jerry22748, 1 day ago

Can anyone recommend a good handheld nebulizer?
So far my experience has been that they’re all pretty much the same and stop working after a too short a time. Thanks.

Thanks. However, I’m looking for a small handheld one. They usually go for at most $120

@jerry22748 Yes, the $100 handheld ones are convenient, but they are not up to daily use, sometimes more than once a day. I'm not sure who the target market is, but it is not people who neb two or more times a day. And many cannot withstand sterilizing. I find it telling that none of the cheaper ones on the market have a warranty longer then 90 days.
Years ago, Philips mad a $300-400 dollar one that was pretty hardy, but they went out of the nebulizer business.
The one @scoop referred to is very pricy, it is a mesh one, but does have a small compressor base, and is pricy. We have had ours for over a year (2 of us use it with separate handsets) and it is proving to be reliable, fast & quiet. Compared to burning through multiple $50-70 ones in a year, I think it is going to be cheaper in the long run.

How long have you been trying to find a reliable mesh nebulizer?

Thanks for your thoughts.
I’m afraid the one suggested is too pricey for me and I need o e that runs on batteries. I’ll probably have to stick to just using the one I have at home.

I might put it on my Birthday/Christmas/Holiday list for that someone who cares about me and wants to help????
Too often loved ones feel frustrated because they can't do more for us.
A gift like this would be a blessing and would allow them to know they are helping???
