Hi friend -
These comments are all very interesting and helpful, as I am considering getting a vest myself. National Jewish recommends the Smart Vest. I spoke to the people there and they said they really don't experience complaints or returns. I wonder if there is a difference in performance based on the different companies and models?

Jill - Did you mean NJH when you said "I spoke to the people there and they said they really don't experience complaints or returns.? I'm not sure word gets back to the department that demonstrates the vest's operation etc. as compared to the doctors hearing and getting word back from patients about those that have problems or complaints.????
What I know about the Afflo Vest is what I have heard.
Heavy for some people. Battery operated so you aren't confined to an area in that you can walk around with it while it is working.
I was interested in trying it out with having knowledge of it but the contacts I was given for it, I believe a small local distributor, said they couldn't allow a trial period.
At least with the Hill Rom/Baxter with the electric plug in they, meaning Hill Rom/Baxter with Medicare involved, do somewhat have a trial period which I somewhat mentioned above.
Personally if one doesn't have acid reflux and able to do postural drainage and/or their own percussion on their lungs and/or able to use something like the Meridians Back Knock Massage Hammer, or something similar, it is worth a try. Even a regular electric vibrator, I would think, would help.
