Ultrabreathe

This is a well made, good quality lung exerciser - very easy to adjust and easy to use. And the price is very reasonable. Happy with this purchase!!

I had been using a power breath some years ago which only trains muscles associated with inspiratory breath so I decided to search for a respiratory trainer that also provides resistance on expiritory breaths and this peace of equipment does just that. It provides resistance for both breathing in and out which trains different respiratory muscles. For example your core / abdominal muscles are also associated respiratory muscles and are exercised when forcing breath out into resistance along with particular muscles between the ribs (intercostals). This is a good piece of kit and easy to use, you can set different resistance for in & out breath. I am unable to comment on its effectiveness or any positive outcome as I have not committed to using on a daily bases, however used regularly it may improve breathing performance as respiratory muscle will react to strength training as any other skeletal muscle group would with resistance training. The price was also attractive seeing as the power breath units can be very expensive so that was also a plus.

As an asthma sufferer I have spent some time researching available devices to ease or improve my breathing. When I came across this little device I was amazed to see how inexpensive it was compared to some other products that seemed to offer the same benefits. At the price I thought I had to give it a go and I am glad I did.It arrives in its own plastic 'wallet' with multi language instructions for setting it up and using. Each of the parts can be easily dismantled for cleaning, and there was no obvious smell or flavour to the soft mouthpiece. The resistance to air flow in and out is easily adjusted, both at the rounded end which holds a ball that can be moved further over a vent hole to allow more or less air in, and nearer the mouthpiece where a turn knuckle can be screwed in or out, again to make breathing resistance lesser or greater. The idea is to start at a low level of resistance and, breathing only through the mouthpiece for 25 times in the morning and again in the evening, exercise the lung muscles until they become stronger. I have only been doing this for a short time but I can see the advantages of doing this over a prolonged period. At first it is tempting to set the resistance higher so your lungs have to work harder - this can actually reduce oxygen flow and raise blood pressure so it is not advisable. My plan now is to start at a low level and build up resistance steadily so that improvements are felt over time.I consider this a great value product for anyone who wants to improve their lung capacity and effectiveness. I thoroughly recommend it.

I bought this for my uncle (who has COPD) he struggles to talk without having coughing fits and gets out of breath very easily. With this pandemic we were more worried for him and looked into lung exercise and saw the reviews here saying how great it was so took a chance. Weeks on I asked him if it is working, he said "I don't know" but honestly when we would speak to him via telephone he would be choking and coughing throughout the whole conversation, and since using this, not once is he coughing or choking, so I believe it is helping and doing SOMETHING. All I know is we have noticed a change in his breathing and it has improved. So on that note this is highly recommended.

Works well and easy to follow instructions.

My daughter has had breathing challenges when racing, we found she was hyperventilating and this brought on breathlessness. So told she needed to learn to breath. First we showed her how to do box breathing and now she does it with this device. Her peak flows were in the 280’s 3 months ago, now she can hit 400 and is mainly on the 380’s and no longer gets breathless during races. So defiantly working for us. Bought another one to improve my breathing too. Easy to use, instructions come with, we have not even started increasing the intensity yet. It takes practice and patience, but it is worth it.

Really good and easy to use.

I decided to purchase this after reading many POSITIVE reviews on Amazon. However, placing this inside your mouth correctly is quite tricky. There is no mechanism to aid narrowing the mouthpiece as it enters the mouth. A mechanism would also aid its removal !! I am very dismayed about the fact that no protective/hygienic cover is provided with this device. When you remove the device from your mouth you also remove your saliva with it - okay so you run it under the tap immediately after use but then you have nowhere to store it hygienically afterwards. The manufacturer seems not to have considered this because the item arrived in a plastic case (for example similar plastic to that of an iPhone).
