One of the most common mistakes made when purchasing a nebuliser is not considering how often you will need to nebulise.
Nebuliser therapy for some is needed only as and when. A number of you struggle during the harsh winter months, for others hot summers can be a trigger and many of you nebulise only when you have a chest infection or an acute exacerbation. This means that for a great part of the year your nebuliser will sit unused in a cupboard.

Spending more money doesn’t always equal a better therapy. It can produce a slightly quicker therapy but this doesn’t suit all and if you only nebulise occasionally what difference does a minute or two make? Why buy a Rolls Royce and then leave it in the garage?
How do you decide? Even though you maybe looking to spend less it’s always wise to stick with one of the major manufactures because there will come a time when you need to replace your accessories, and even though you may only use it occasionally, a three year warranty may be invaluable.
Nebulisers made by Philips Respironics such as the Innospire Deluxe have a solid reputation amongst many heath professionals and they produce the Innospire Essence. Smaller than the Portaneb but equally reliable, it comes with a disposable Sidestream chamber though it is compatible with the reusable Sidestream if you prefer. It’s robust, compact, lightweight and its new price of £49 makes it excellent value and you can check it out by clicking HERE
The Omron CompAir C28 with its boil-able VVT nebuliser kit which is stylish lightweight and easy to clean, you can see it HERE
For those of you who do have to nebulise more regularly and often, then spending a little extra is definitely cost and time effective in the long run, but if this isn’t you then why not keep a little cash back to treat yourself or maybe invest in a portable pocket nebuliser as well.
