nebulizers, which one's the best?

Hey Robert, Rachel had a Pari Pro-Neb until this year. It was time to get her a new machine before leaving for school. I can't exactly remember the name at the moment since it is no longer sitting in my living room here at home. I know you talk once in a while, give her a txt and ask her what it's called. I do alot of research before getting a new machine and have always been partial to Pari products. We too have a Duraneb 3000 and a 2000 and we were going to get the Pari Trek S but when I went to pick it up they didn't have the correct neb. that was supposed to go with it. They mentioned this other machine and the good responses they've had from people. We got it under the stipulation that it did what WE needed it to. I checked it out on-line, talked with the RT and we are pleased with it. Give Rachel a txt and if you don't hear back from her let me know, I'll find the box.

Hi Robert,
I also needed to buy a nebulizer recently. Since insurance only buys a nebulizer compressor once every five years, I haven't wanted to use my insurance --saving them for when I want to buy something more expensive than a cheap neubilizer. I'm hoping that the e-flow will become the norm, so I am holding out for that.
I the meantime I weighed the pros and cons of all the nebulizer compressors. I bought a Pari-Trek II with battery pak for travel. But I like it so much I use it all the time. I think it nebs about .44mls per min. I liked that it's quiet and portable (a little slower that a tabletop) and a plus is that you use a Pari LC which you can boil. I wanted to travel light and take along Tobi, just in case I got sick. Although many people on this site have said it is not approved for Tobi -- I called Pari and they said the particle size would be correct, but it would take longer to nebulize. I got it on E-Bay new for $123.00.
I wanted a tabletop compressor too. So I just bought a Pari Proneb II. It is the nebulizer that most studies are done on. It nebs at .50 mls per minute. I bought it online. Compressor, case, 2 pari nebs for only $70. At the moment it is working great. Hopefully, it won't break any time soon.
I have an ultrasonic Omron Micro Air 22UV (something like that)that my insurance bought me years ago that I've never used because it seems too hard to clean.
The Aero-neb Go sounds interesting except you can't boil the neb (you can use Control III disinfectant) and you can't take Tobi in it. So maybe a good second compressor.
The fastest (other than an e-flow) and most expensive is the Mobile Air. The average nebulizer is 35psi (measures the air pressure). This unit is 50 psi. Extremely fast. And I think the rate is adjustable, but if you nebulize too fast you may compromise particle size and you may get less medication. It about $239 plus online. I'd let your insurance buy something like this.
I've had many Devilbiss models. They are really good, but I always thought they were noisy, and too large. But I'm sure the newer models are not like this. Also very cheap online.

Interesting about the Trek and use for tobi, because I contacted Pari a few years ago and was told we couldn't use it. Sigh, would be nice to get a consistent answer from them regarding this.
I ended up buying a devilbiss for everyday use and kept the pari proneb ultra for travelling.
