K4 Stopped Working After 12 Days

I bought a new K4 and started using it on April 21. Using the K4 twice a day started having positive effects lowering my blood pressure. Unfortunately I started getting "Valve Error Dectected" error messages after starting a session. Note that I soaked the valve head and mouth piece after every session. The first few times the error occurred I recleaned the valve head and the K4 worked. But then I got the error message again and now can't inhale after the 2nd breath. On May 8, I called the customer service number in the U.S. The representative explained she couldn't help me but would send an email to customer service in the UK. It's now May 17 and nobody has contacted me. I hope I get help soon!

So far

So far, it appears that using the PowerBreathe has reduced my blood pressure with using drugs. It only takes 4 minutes twice a day.

Thank you so much for your review Betty :) If you don't mind clarifying, are you using POWERbreathe IMT in addition to your prescribed drugs, or should the review read 'without' drugs? Just checking we understand correctly ;) Thank you!

POWERBreathe...so simple!

Have struggled with Blood Pressure, likely due to poor lung/air performance. Will be using PowerBreathe to assist any other efforts, as there is merit in the product. Had used another device that only monitored and coached my breathing patterns, but that device was very unreliable in performance

Thank you Ken for sharing this with us. The University of Colorado's findings certainly showed it reduced high blood pressure, so we hope you find that it helps you too.

I have a complain called bronchoectasis and have been recommended Powerbreathe by a chemist, I am convinced after only two days that I am going to get benefit from it

Thomas, thank you for sharing this with us. We're delighted that your chemist suggested the POWERbreathe device to help with your symptoms, as research has shown that inspiratory muscle training has positive effects on respiratory muscle strength and endurance, and social aspects of quality of life in people with bronchiectasis. Keep up the good work :)

Outrageous postage costs

While the powerbreathe product is okay, it foes the job. Their postage costs for replacement parts is ridiculous. Want to buy a nose clip, £2.99 is pretty good but £4.99 postage? That's crazy. It can go large letter for £2. But it gets worse want to buy two of them the postage goes up to £5.99. There's making a profit and there's taking the proverbial.

Excellent customer service

I was disappointed in the Powerbreathe K3 when I started with it and found it not easy to use—difficult to find the right level, whether setting it to automatic (too easy) or manual (impossible to breathe at all). After an extensive and extremely helpful Zoom meeting with Mr. Kerr, I found that I had somehow set the starting point way too high. Mr. Kerr also explained the best breathing techniques to have it work properly. The device sometimes didn’t count breaths correctly, so that I end up taking 60 or so before it registers them instead of the recommended 30. We will keep an eye on this and if it continues after my resetting, perhaps the unit is defective, but more likely it will be now be okay. While my blood pressure has not yet gone down, I do breathe more easily when I’m exercising, and I’m hopeful for more improvement as I continue to train. If you are having trouble, I urge you to get in touch with the company as their help is wonderfully useful.

Hi Elizabeth. I'm delighted that my colleague was able to help you and that you now feel that you're on the right track with your training. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us and I'll ensure Mr Kerr sees your feedback. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on with your training, and if you notice any improvement in your blood pressure. Best wishes to you.

Thank you for your feedback. Research shows that if you follow the scientifically proven training protocol of 30 breaths twice a day, you should start to feel the benefit of improved breathing strength and stamina within 4-6 weeks. So please do persevere as you really will benefit from your training.
