Acapella vs aerobika
My pulmo didn’t recommend one over the other. I just found the Acapella. Has anyone tried both ? Is one more effective than the other?

I have both, arobika is easier to keep clean because it comes apart.

1 ReactionI take apart the acapella completely, soak it in soapy water and sterilize it in my Bololo.
I like the acapella just fine, I prefer it to the Aerobika: the plastic of the aerobika smells strong and it bothers my sinuses a lot and triggers polyps.
There are some acapellas that cannot be taken apart, but my RT gave me a smaller one that can be taken apart, he said it's small but it works well for everybody. I use it on 5 and it works well.
I find the Aerobika works much better and I only breath out through it and not in so there is no plastic taste etc.

1 Reaction@rbl the Acapella comes totally apart too. It was tricky at first until I found a YouTube video. I take it totally apart wash and sterilize
I agree with the others. Aerobika is much better for me. Easy to clean and I can attach it to my nebulizer which cuts down the time I spend on airway clearance. I find it an extremely convenient and effective device.
I would love to cut down on some of the time BE takes. How does the Aerobika work with the nebulizer ?
