No support so far, not sure on how to operate it

I called support line, no one ever called me back. Everything I’ve read since it’s supposed to Bluetooth on an app on your phone for use, can’t figure out how to do that and no one has reached out to support me yet. It’s been over a week.
If someone is interested in reaching out to me, my name is Ricky at [****]

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. After our initial conversation and walkthrough, we reached out again but haven’t been able to connect. If you still need assistance, we’d be happy to help—please reach out to us at care@pnmedical.com.

Breather

So far, so good

Easy to use

Well designed, compact and easy to use. Seems to be effective as well

Great help in helping me to learn to swallow again.

Well designed, easy to use, portable. Highly recommend the Breather.

Voice

This breather is going to be very good for me to improve my singing and talking voice by making breathing much stronger. Easy to use and I like the coaching for the exercises. I will definitely continue daily exercises. Very pleased with this!

Yep I can breath better with these exercises.

Works for the purpose of strengthening my diaphragm. Fine so far. A lot of work for me here. Best to set up a program with a Speech Therapist .
Has a common, though not mentioned by the company, feature, of making one cough, which is not comfortable. This is actually a benefit - but it doesn't feel great. I can tell it's working.

I need Air

So far I am liking this product.
It is easy to use where ever you are and that I like

Case keeps sand out

We are family of surfers and everybody has a breather fit. The case is the best thing to keep the sand out of the devices.

The Perfect Case

I had purchased a generic case for my Breather Fit, but this case is better quality and of course it looks great.

I've just started using it but so far really feel like it's helping me breathe better

Love it

able to control resistance to note progress and good days/bad days (COPD), and fits in with related breathing exercises.

Very cool device, will definitely keep using it

Builds your respitory functions

Excellent tool ... I think!

I find it a little weird to review this after having it in hand less than a week, but I have used it every day since I got it and previously had the "basic" breather I used for a few weeks (before my dog got hold of it). I originally bought the breather because I had been a long term smoker and this past year had multiple respiratory infections. I felt the breather may help me clear and strengthen my lungs. When my dog crunched my first one, I went to the Breather Fit because I still feel quite hopeful, but also because I was almost to the highest settings on the first Breather. Well, I'm now on the highest settings on the Fit, which kind of concerns me. However, there are more directions and hints with the Fit that I'm finding valuable so I'm still feeling pretty good about it. I'd rather be asked for a review after I've used it for a few months, but there you go.

Great

this works as intended, very pleased, well made and easy to use.

Excellent lung exerciser, really works.

Well, breathing certainly improves energy levels. My last pulmo visit showed a decline; two weeks with this Breather has made a huge difference. Requires little time and the online monitor is great for correcting breath pacing and recording results. My next pulmo visit is in Sept,, by which time I should have Super Lungs. Max results for min money.

I am a singer with mild lung issues so this device has helped me twofold !

Teaches your lungs and breathing muscles to expand and be more powerful.

It took me two (2) days of breathing exercises to see a fantastic improvement in my breathing because of using The Breather Fit. I was able to walk about and shop for two hours and without needing treatment for the day.

I am a believer in The Breather

I'm 65 and have asthma and was coming off a pretty severe exacerbation following an upper respiratory infection that went off the rails for me. I ordered the device after reading some research on Respiratory Muscle Training. I received the Breather device, downloaded the app, and did the Phonation pretest, and I could sustain the tone for only 21 seconds. Then I used it morning and evening faithfully for the first month on the "Strengthening" plan -- 10 reps followed by a minute of times rest and 10 more reps, as guided by the app timer. At the end of the plan, I repeated the test and could sustain the tone for 33 seconds. Not long at all if you are a singer -- but for someone with respiratory compromise coming off an exacerbation, I was really proud of my improvement and can't wait to share it with my pulmonologist. I am now doing the "Endurance" plan, which requires me to do 30 breath cycles with no break. I lowered the resistance setting just a bit -- and it is a bit of a challenge, but I can do it.There is good video on the app to explain clearly how to use the device. I had not issues with the app at all. (I have an android phone.) It is extremely helpful for me to not only hear the prompt but to see the animation that reminds you to fully inflate and empty your lungs. One nice unexpected side effect is that my lower abs are much more engaged all the time now -- since using the device correctly requires me to really isolate those muscles that pull the diaphragm down to inflate my lungs. I feel like my lungs are stronger now and if I were to get another infection, I think my cough would be stronger and more efficient.If you have lung issues and your doctor is on board, I'd encourage you to consider trying the Breather.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

Contributes to healthy breathing for your lungs and your activities

Breathing Better

November 2024 to January 2035 contracted pneumonia twice and COPD Exacerbation twice. I was hospitalized 3 of the four times. My last COPD Exacerbation I could not take six steps at a time. I had to stop do Pursed lip breathing, then another six steps. Now I must tell myself not to over do. Don't know if it's possible, yet I feel my lungs take in more air. I can do simple household chores without feeling breathlessness. My lungs take in more air and I can expel more of the carbon dioxide. I am starting back by exercise routine. Thank you Breather.

Easy to use.

This is a great little device. Can use at home and work. No frills. Easy to use. Good directions.

How to clean the Breather?

Rinse your Breather well; shake off excess water and air dry on a clean paper towel. If it is completely dry, it can be stored in a plastic bag.

Which Breather is right for me?

The best Breather device for you depends on your specific needs and goals. All Breather devices allow you to independently adjust the training intensity for inspiratory and expiratory muscles. This is important because your inspiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm, typically gain strength quicker than your expiratory muscles.
