Jeana,
We use a Mobilaire compressor. Pulmozyme takes; 7-8 minutes same for albuterol. Hypertonic saline takes 15 min. TOBI took the longest 20 minutes. We also have a smaller portable compressor, Pari vios; when we used that it took alot longer and the machine died every 6 months. The Mobilaire has made neb session times more reasonable. HTH.

DS takes albuterol/atrovent mixed (duo neb), which takes about 15 minutes, Pulmozyme takes 15 mintues as well. Tobi takes about 22-25 minutes. We use a Pari Vios or a Devilbiss Pulmoaide.
When DS was a baby, we didn't realize his brand new Pari Proneb Ultra was faulty. Duoneb took about 25-30 minutes and Tobi took 45-50. Then a relative gave us an older Devilbiss for use as a spare and we realized the problem.

It's funny that I'm reading this just as the Apria Home Health care delivery guy knocked on the door with my new compressor. I literally just came back from clinic they wrote the script at 5 oclock... its now 6 and my new compressor is in my hands. I am in shock lol.

I have both a Devilbiss Pulmoaide and Pari Vios, and both are less than six months old. My treatment times are:
Albuterol ~ 8 minutes
Hypertonic ~ 15 minutes
Pulmozyme ~8 minutes
I don't take Tobi.
Are you stopping when the neb starts sputtering? That is when I stop doing my treatments. For a while I kept going past sputtering because there was still some medicine in the cup, but then I read that I didn't need to do that, so I stopped and it's save a lot of time.
Albuterol ~ 8 minutes
Hypertonic ~ 15 minutes
Pulmozyme ~8 minutes
I don't take Tobi.

I can definitely use the vest for twenty and get pulmozyme and albuterol both in, and sometimes even hypertonic saline. I am a deep breather though, maybe its different if you breathe more shallowly/less often.

Take my advice! Buy EFLOW RAPID! I dont know if you afford it it should be expensive. Find a way to get it prescribed. It is reaaaaally fast.
Pulmozyme 3-5 minutes
Tobi 6-10
Of course it depends of how old is your nebulazer. It is recommended to change the nebulazing parts (not the whole device) every 6 months. I spend a year with it because it costs about 100 euros. After a year of use it becomes kinda slower. But eflow has saved me sooo much time. And time is money!
