I also prefer the Aerobika to the Acapella because of the ease of cleaning and sterilizing it. The cleaning instructions state that it can be autoclaved and so it easily stands up to a baby bottle sterilizer! I clean (in sudsy water), rinse, and sterilize the Aerobika (Chicco 3-in-1 bottle sterilizer is nice and compact) daily and so do not have to fuss with distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, etc. as one does with the Acapella. The Aerobika is available, new, on eBay for about $40, and costs about twice that amount from a medical supply company, unless your insurance covers the device.

Thanks SO MUCH for the tip about looking on Ebay. I am surprised at the price difference between Amazon Prime ($110.99) and Ebay, since it looks as if it's the exact, same product. I just ordered one via Ebay.
Hi Carol. I just started nebulizing and using the Aerobika for airway clearance. Can you post a link to the Chicco 3 in 1 bottle sterilizer you use? Thanks!

I also use the Aerobika for all the same reasons ( ease of cleaning, use with the nebulizer) plus it withstands all the taking apart, cleaning, and reassembly that needs to be done so often. I tried the Acapella (provided and paid for by insurance) for a while and each time it broke so easily. So, I pay out of pocket for the Aerobika but it is a much better product.
Also, @carolj68, I use the Chicco baby bottle warmer/sterlizer the same as you! It's small and fits all the parts just right. All the other baby bottle sterlizers were like large countertop appliances and way to bulky!
