I actually have the device people are complaining about the time to use it and clean it. The device Works quite well it breaks up the sticky mucus like it says it does within a few minutes of using the device it will start to restore your breathing and you will start feeling better at that point you should be able to spend two or three minutes just setting up to clean it up in hot soapy water no big deal if you want to breathe go ahead don't get the device and keep suffering with your sticky Airways of mucus it's your choice the device can be used with or without a nebulizer people find a reason to complain about everything.
Let me get this right. This is a good device. The problem I see is the time one has to devote during the day while still trying to have a life. Sounds like steps are to: position properly up in a chair, breathe in , exhale through unit 10-15 times then huff , cough, hopefully expectorate. Repeat cycle as prescribed 2-4 times daily. Prepare to clean with warm soapy water or cleaning solution, agitate, soak for 10-15 min, rinse thoroughly, shake, air dry in a clean place 15 minutes or til dry, reassemble properly and place in an air tight container. Do this "after every treatment" and disinfect 1x /day. May use dishwasher top rack, light or normal cycle by itself or with dirty dishes. Of course clean up ie soapy water, towels etc. Doing this when not feeling well may be challenging and this does not include nebulizer or inhaler treatments. I feel short of breath thinking about it. Thanks but I think I'll pass and just try to stay healthy.

Thanks for the detailed instructions with a person showing what to do while someone else is saying the steps.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
none of my doctors or nurses or physio said to hold the breath before doing this!
So...how often do you sterilize it in boiling water? Also, if you are using it more than once per day, it does not have the opportunity to air dry.
Thanks; I guess I heard most of this from therapists in the hospital but that was a stressful time.
Clear, concise explanation and demonstration, thank you.
How much it cost....
I am stared using for my wife
Thank you for your good explanation

Uh..this is actually part of " staying healthy " for many people. You know..the ones that are not so lazy and actually give a shit?
