Ok I dont have that compressor and I cnat think of the one I do have and its in its case in the other room and I am too lazy to go look at the moment lol but I do use the Pari LC Plus Neb thingy and well I LOVE it it works great they say its one of the best if not the best. I dont have to use my neb too often but when I do need it its great! I would diff recommend the Pari PC Plus and I am sure that compressor is fine. I am sure there is a site out there somewhere that might have reviews on the products might wanna search for something like that or wait and see if anyone else here has an opinion on this...Good luck!

The Pari Trek is great. I have one. There are other types of nebs out there though, like one called the Omron Microair, which is really small and almost silent.

There's a pari trek that has gotten wonderful reviews; however, for the drug I specifically wanted to use it for -- Tobi Nebs. It is not recommended. So instead, I purchased a power inverter for the car and I give DS his Tobi Nebs with his regular nebulizer while we go on trips.

On a side note. I've heard about something called E-Flow, which is made by Pari and is available in the UK and Europe. Anyone else have info on it?

I have 3 portable nebs.

Omron CompAir Elite...don't really reccomend it. When I got it there wasn't a whole lot choice as far as portable nebs. Its served its purpose but the battery pack with it is horrible. Of course mine is from when they first came out so they might have improved it by now

Pari Trek...wonderful but still quite loud/ Good power though. I use it for one of my meds that doesn't nebulizer well in my other portable neb. Uses same tubing and cup as regular neb which is nice and same filter as the proneb ultra

Omron Microair VMT. Wonderful! Silent, fast, small! Does all normal asthma meds really well. Parts can be expensive and delicate but still a great neb. No filters but the mesh cap runs atleast $50
