Hi Jimbo

Welcome to the site. Lots of help on here, as you will see. I don't use one but I have seen them mentioned on here before. Sounds fun traveling on the train seeing different places. I would enjoy that too. ☺ Rubyxx

Hello jimbo38. Lidl and Aldi sell them occasionally. That's where I got mine. It runs either from a mains adapter, 12v car adapter or the internal batteries when charged. Mine is a Poly Green.

I've checked Ebay and there's some for under £10 but I've no idea what they are like.

Hi Jimbo

Welcome. I use a Omron MicroAir NE-U22-E Pocket Nebuliser and have found it very reliable. It is compact and once started can be used in any position.

One downside is my wife cannot prepare it for me because she has arthritis in her fingers which makes it very painful for her to disassemble.

Best price I can find at the moment is £85.00 at Amazon or Argos.

Regards Andy

I also use omoron and find they are VERY reliable. I keep one in car and one at home. Mine uses batteries or mains.
