Anyone have input on afflovest vs Hill Rom?
My pulmonologist asked me which one I wanted, like I have a clue. Doing research & could use some feedback from anyone willing to chime in. Iām 64ā106# & would like to be mobile with it.

Hello! Can you speak with the respiratory therapist at your pulmonologist office to get his/ her opinion- the lighter vest would be more suitable for your height and weight by and mobility needs
I had hil rom for many years and was ok did the job. My oxygen provider called asked if I wanted a new vest I had the hil rom for many years. So they gave me afflo vest. I didn't know they are very heavy as they are portable. It has a charge pack. I love the portability am getting used to the heaviness. Has 3 different programs. Percussion, vibration and drainage you can set each minutes you want and speed low med high. I do totally 30 minutes. Think Iike this one best.
