    Small product picture of a portable nebulizers.

    If you’re tired of lugging around a table-top nebulizer system but can’t be without your medication, the Omron Portable Nebulizer is the perfect alternative. It’s the world’s smallest nebulizer and it relies on Vibrating Mesh Technology to deliver an effective dose of medication. This portable nebulizer can be used for anyone suffering from asthma or other respiratory conditions and is ideal for children. With its compact design, you can take this travel nebulizer with you anywhere, as it comes with a handy carrying case. This portable nebulizer is one-of-a-kind, as it’s the smallest in the world and uses innovative technology to deliver single doses of medication.

    Another option is the Mabis hand held nebulizer that is portable and lightweight. Although this nebulizer comes at a fraction of the price, reviewers preferred the Omron nebulizer instead. With the Mabis product, reviews were very mixed and some people had trouble with the medicine leaking out. The Omron nebulizer on the other hand, received favorable reviews and product owners agreed that this handy device is perfect for taking medication without stopping what you’re doing. In fact, some people even use their nebulizer in dark places, such as movie theaters, as it is super quiet and small. The only downfall is that because the Omron portable nebulizer is so petite, it can be a little difficult for those with larger fingers to operate. However, this is easy to get used to, especially with the convenience of the product. All in all, this is a great asthma nebulizer that avoids trips to the hospital and allows asthma sufferers to lead normal, active lives.

    April 1st, 2017

    Small product picture of an infrared thermometer review.

    Two of the biggest investments, in both time and money, which Americans make are home and vehicle purchases. Maintaining these purchases can be extremely difficult and expensive, but there are little tools that can make these jobs easier and safer to do. The Kintrex Non Contact Infrared Thermometer is an effective tool that allows individuals to safely and accurate gauge the temperature of a variety of targets. This infrared thermometer is designed to make it easier for individuals to get temperature readings for hot, hazardous, or hard to reach targets. The unit provides temperature readings in just one second.

    The laser infrared thermometer is capable of gauging temperatures from -76 degrees Fahrenheit to as high as 932 degrees. The unit has a convenient trigger, and can provide current and maximum temperature readings. There are a number of infrared thermometers available on the market these days, and one thing that sets this laser infrared thermometer model apart from others is a wide range of temperature readings. Despite the vast majority online reviewers finding the Kintrex infrared thermometer worthy of a five star rating, the unit was not without negatives. A large number of users found that the thermometer could not live up to its claim of a 1.8 degree differential in its readings. Many found that their unit was consistently off by as much as four degrees in either direction. This was usually caused by the unit not having an adjustable emissivity. This means it can read higher or lower than the real surface temperature depending on the reflective consistency of the surface being measured. If you have serious jobs to tackle, the Kintrex non contact infrared thermometer may not be the perfect tool for the job, but it is not without use around the house. It would be a perfect tool for use around the kitchen and for smaller household jobs.
