What Nebulizer should I choose?

I'm newly diagnosed with Bronchiectasis and MAI. Apparently I have only two brands of nebulizers available in my area that my insurance will cover: Drive (compact or MedNeb I think) and Phillips Respironics Innospire Mini. Does anyone know which is the best?

I will appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hello! Do you travel a lot? Is there a resin you are looking for a mini?

I feel the regular size works better.

Hi! I wasn't actually looking for the mini. It's what the medical supply has available. My choices are limited as I live in a rural area. The three nebulizers available are the Drive Compact, the Drive MedNeb or Respironics Innospire Mini. I'm wondering if anyone has either of these and can recommend. Thanks!

Hello! Have you checked reviews or consumer reports? I have an old model, not manufactured by any of the companies listed.

Not an answer, but a question. . .sew what do you sew? I sew also. Quilts, clothes, everything.

Hi! In my younger days, I made clothes for myself and my daughter, window treatments, bedspreads and all kinds of crafty stuff. I made a Grandmother's Fan quilt with my mom before she passed. I'm a grandma now and don't sew much anymore. I have 2 month old twin grandson's so I dusted off my sewing machine and serger and I'm in the process of making them baby quilts. Since they are boys I don't expect I'll be sewing as much for them as I did for my daughter. (I loved making her little dresses!) I hope to have time to make a quilt for her as well.

Hello! It sounds like a great hobby. I am sure your daughter will love these handmade, homemade treasures.:)

I come from a sewing, quilting family, but the "sewing gene" went to my sister, not me! I have a machine and will sew when there's something I really want or need, but it's definitely not my go-to hobby. Last Christmas I did make several flax seed stuffed bags (microwaveable heating pads) to give away as gifts. Kudos to you sewcrazy for getting back to sewing!
