I have used the acapella, the flute, the aerobics and the vest in the past. There are pros and cons of each device. Below is information on airway clearance devices. https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/I-am-a-Patient-or-Caregiver/Coping-with-Airway-Mucus/Airway-Clearance-Devices

I love the acapella it is easy to take apart and clean. Very important to follow the manufactures instructions on how to clean the device!
