MicroElite or MicroAir

We have already talked about Mesh Cap Technology which is the secret behind the small popular, portable and versatile MicroAir nebuliser.

It weighs only 300g and independently operates from two AA batteries standard or rechargeable, obviously the better the quality the longer they last, but this should be about 4 hours. It has a simple one button operation and an mains electrical lead which can be bought as an extra

The MicroElite is a portable mini compressor and though it operates on similar principles to usual nebulisers it weighs only 450g, and that’s including its rechargeable battery which lasts up to 60minutes and recharges in just 3 hours.

So how do you decide? 

Well, price wise if you include the AC adaptor with MicroAir they are very similar so we recommend you choose the one which fits most suitable with your habits and lifestyle
Do You:

          Holiday or travel to an area where AA batteries are        
          easily sourced
          Do you already own AA rechargeable batteries.
          Is it dual voltage charger? Will it work somewhere like  
          America where the voltage is 120v 
          Do  you visit the theatre or cinema a lot and would you     
          like to nebulise silently without leaving your seat?
         Have you factored in the price of replacing the 
          mesh cap every 12months in your costings?
If you answer yes to some or all of the above the MicroAir maybe for you.


Or do you: 

        Take adventures to out of the world places where AA   
         batteries may not be readily available? 
Tour in the car preferring to save your battery power for 
         longer outings ?
Like to have the option of nebulising ‘hands free’ using 
        the minutes to read the paper or write those postcards
        Feel more comfortable with familiar technology and 
        accessories

If this outline feels more reassuring then take a look at the MicroElite

Both units have efficient speedy treatment times for all typical medications and for those of you who nebulise steroids and antibiotics there are other units available and remember these nebulisers will not only encourage to you take that holiday but are there to help you broaden your horizons at home to. 

We all spend time a great deal of time planning and preparing for what we hope will be the perfect well earned break. A little extra thinking in advance will not only help you choose the nebuliser to suit your trip but also give you time to get familiar with its operation. And if you still can't decide feel free to email or call on 01942 701210 and we will try to help.

  1. I have both!
    I take the Omron abroad, take some non-rechargeables and rechargeable batteries plus a battery charger. I need the AA battery charger (Plus addapter) anyway for GPS and camera! So one charger for three things.

    In UK I take my Elite most of the time for stays away from home.

    I wouldn't take an elite only abroad in case I have no access to electricity. With an Omron, as long as you have AA batteries you can neb, even if you take them out of your camera.......! Or use neb batteries in camera because you have taken too many photos of penguins!
