Recommendations for nebulizer machine

I’m curious if you liked using it with the meter before it stopped functioning from being warped during boiling? I think my dad might just go ahead and get it since it’s only $10 more ($80 vs $70 w/o meter at Tampa Specialty Pharmacy ) but it’ll take a few days for them to get the metered one in from Monaghan, whereas they have the non-metered version in stock which we could go pick up today. Your feedback on whether the metered version was beneficial for you or not will be helpful for my dad to decide whether or not to wait on that model or just get the other today. Thank you again, your thoughts on this is much appreciated! Take care, Scott

I have the Aerobika device without a meter. It only has the resistance settings.

Scott, truth be told, when I used the meter for my short stint with the Aerobika it did make me think more about my exhale, that is, not too soft and not to forceful so there is some merit to it. However, I might not be exactly a good use case because I produce so much sputum with just nebulizing that adding the Aerobika doesn't seem to be as important in my situation.

I am sorry if I am late in responding for your decision today but if your dad needs airway clearance the rest of his life chances are you will be buying another Aerobika so you will have more chances to get the meter.
