Vibrating vest

I had used the afflovest for about 4 months. It was ok for a while but has to be charged more frequently than I had anticipated. It’s nice that it is portable but I never took advantage of that as it was heavy and I found it easier just to sit down and do my treatments.
Also, one of the bronchiectasis centers suggested I try the Baxter APX vest.
I’m loving this vest therapy so much better and you can travel with it.
It really gets the job done and the vest is feather weight and so much smaller than the afflovest!! You might want to try it out before committing to the Afflovest. There are other vests out there too and I did try the others as well but the Baxter fit the bill for me.
Good luck and hope you find a vest that you are happy with!

@winterfelllvoyager75 thx you for the information. I will look into it

@winterfelllvoyager75 I have had the Baster APX vest for only a week (after hospitalization for pneumonia) and I have been happy and grateful to have it. Not heavy. They programmed it to 6 for intensity (the middle therapy setting). it's not as strong as the 10 they were doing in the hospital when I was coughing horrendously. I just hope 6 is strong enough. Right now I, while the pneumonia has been beaten back through antibiotics, 6 seems fine. Don't know if it will be during an exacerbation. I'm glad I can bring it on my cabin vacation.
