I have 2 severe asthmatic children. Over the years I have tried several different types of nebulizers. For the price, this small nebulizer is a convenient workhorse. It is very reliable.
As the other reviewer noted, it is not particularly quiet (the silent nebulizer uses a vibrating mesh, wonderful but expensive to replace and the unit became unreliable after about a year of use); it uses the standard air compressor technology but in a very small, easily portable package – much easier to transport than the Pulmo-Aide that we carted around for years.
The unit does also vibrate your hand and mouth as noted, but a tubing accessory is available for purchase which allows the compressor to be separate from the nebulizing chamber and eliminates the problem.
My only complaint about this unit is that it uses a proprietary connector system so all accessories must be Omron (you can’t buy the inexpensive nebulizer chambers, masks, and tubing available at most surgical supply stores).
Still, I have been very pleased with our two units, and feel that for the price (I bought mine for each on ebay probably about 2 years ago) it’s been a bargain, convenient and reliable.
