 Voldyne Spirometer Mar 29, 2010
The spirometer can be very helpful, if used on a regular basis, to improve your air flow in the lungs. It is a decent lung exerciser.

 Don't get a smaller one!!!! Feb 17, 2010
I am recovering from pneumonia and my PCP recommended I get an Incentive Spirometer due to bring mostly bedridden post-surgery. I had no idea what kind or size to get and relied mostly on Amazon reviews. I was not disappointed in any way with this unit or with Medical Department Stores who shipped it within 12 hours and I got it with free shipping in only 3 business days.
An IS is a very simple plastic device. Not much to go wrong unless it cracks. I discovered, after receiving this 5000ml capacity model that my "normal" value should be about 3250ml. Most of the other units on Amazon top out at 2500ml. For the record, I am a 40 year old, 6'1" male. According to the charts I've seen, 2500ml is only enough to measure someone who is 5'5" or shorter.

Breathe Feb 01, 2010
This was a fine product. However, when being ordered a person needs to know if you inhale or exhale into it. I got the incorrect one.

Good for building lung capacity Jan 06, 2009
I have a respiratory condition and want to build/maintain lung capacity. This handly little device is an easy way to do so at home. It works well and its use is pretty self-explanatory, though the one thing that would have improved my buying experience would have been to receive more detailed instructions on its use for optimal results.

Spirometers help breathing Feb 18, 2008
I've been using a Volvdyne 5000 spirometer for about 2 1/2 months now. It is an excellent device because it helps you measure how well you can breathe and it helps you improve your breathing. It's easy to use. You place the mouthpiece in your mouth, exhale completely and then inhale slowly. The device shows a measurement because a plastic cylinder rises along with your breath. It takes some effort to get a top rating. When I started I was under 3000, and I now (only) manage 4250, but my athletic trainer can go up to the top rating which is 5000. The more you use it, the better you can perform. I think it's well worth the price.
