Mr Fuji Sydney, NSW
Life saving workout for the lungs.
After all the smoke from the bushfires and the lifestyle of a sloth during lockdown I found that I was getting short of breath easily. I was sucking on ventolin like it was a scuba tank. The doctors said I was fine but nothing worked to relieve the asthma wheeze until I got to use the Well02. At the time I had a new sleep apnoea mask that wasn't doing the job properly so I was very lethargic. The device was exactly what I needed to get my breathing under control. It kick-started my motivation to get fit again and continues to help me lose the Covid kilos . Instead of sounding like Darth Vader I now feel like a jedi. Great product.

I've been using it since October. it's really easy to use whilst working on the computer or even just watching TV . The Cpap machine tends to give me a dry throat which leads to dirty looks if I cough... Read more
in public. The device helped to stop this dryness and loosen up the chest. I always knew I was only using the top part of my lungs but now I can breathe deeper and more efficiently. Thanks for providing such a painless and ingenious solution with no negative side effects that doesn't require medication.Jonas P.WellO2

Honestly better than I could have ever thought
My son in law gave me this product as a gift for my birthday, he told me it would help with my breathing since I have asthma. The first week of using it, I experienced some shortness of breath which I expected since I have had previous medical treatment for my asthma and it always came during the first days of treatment.
I started to experience the benefit after using it for about 2 weeks. It's very apparent because I'm a part of a prayers' recital group and I notice I can recite my prayers without having to stop as much! Even my friends in the group noticed!
I am very satisfied and I am going to increase both the temperature and the resistance to get even stronger! Thanks you, WellO2!

You have done exactly everything right with your WellO Breathing setup and instructions to follow through - be consistent and persistent and results will come. The combination of opening up the airways (EMT) and using Steam as the moisturiser, plus the inhalation resistant (IMT) breathing, that triggers the breathing muscles - creates a good concept for your symptoms. First you experience a bit of a 'down turn' but with your focus and persistence - you have overcome this and get better in week 2 and onwards. It makes me so glad that you have strengthen your voice and your respiratory system with the WellO process - keep pushing further with increased resistance (you can set it between 1 and 2 etc) and also increase the water temperature if you want to challenge yourself a bit further Nice gift from your son in law If anything else comes up - please contact me directly and I will revert back to you personally Thanks Santi Ade and well done to you!

Ambivalent about this product!
The set-up a little complicated. Machine took up a to much room. Its use twice a day was inconvenient. Was of little help to my breathing. Unsure of its hygiene.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had some troubles with the setup of the device. This link may help you https://wello2.com.au/pages/instructions and it will also explain about the cleaning programme. Like all form of exercises - results comes with consistency and motivation - the WellO Breathing process is initially recommended 5-10 min, twice daily - but if that's not suitable for your schedule, please try to make it once daily for the first 4-6 weeks usage - if you feel improvements in your respiratory system and have strengthen your lungs - you may reduce down to 3-4 sessions per week. It all depends on your own circumstances Many WellO users have reported that these are the best 10 min's per day, with 'me-time' and a bit of mindfulness and there is nothing wrong to combine it with your favourite music and or a good book. Please reach out to me directly if you have any further queries or feedback for the WellO2 Thanks Gazza and all the best //Jonas PilhageSimilar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

It is great to hear that you have had some positives with your WellO2 device. Like any exercise and training, the key is persistency and motivation - the first week or two, can be a bit challenging, to get started and the routine. Once you invest 5-10 min, morning and evenings - the results are normally noticeable. Some report improved sleep, clearer airways and better breathing Keep going with your 'lung exercise' training and the vaporized water will help open up your airways and start cleansing your respiratory system. The nose connection is especially beneficial if you have upper respiratory congestions Well done and keep in touch in the future if any further questions or feedback to myself Thanks Chris //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

This quite good. Looking forward to continuing to trial it, and I imagine it will keep becoming more & more helpful.
Initially I found it hard to exhale, & felt some Resistance inhaling as well. I felt like my cheeks were stinging a bit. But then after a while it felt better. It began to feel good, & & it was less hard to exhale. Still Some Resistance inhaling though. It became easier over time to inhale & exhale though. One day I felt a tiny bit nauseous. But then started to Feel invigorated. Then Felt great- very clear headed & relaxed. Felt really good. Becoming Quite a bit easier to exhale & inhale. Resistance continues to decrease. Cheeks not stinging at all. Looking forward to continued use. Have told several friends & relatives positive things about it.

Dear C Branmall
Thanks for your product review for the WellO2 - Nordic Steam Breathing... Read more
It is very common that you do not get your positives until the 2nd or even 3rd week of exercising and cleansing your respiratory system. The process takes some time and consistency and persistency are key ingredients for success. You have done a great job and kept going with your lung exercises and it has cleary paid off. You report, easier to inhale and exhale, which is due to the strengthen of your breathing muscles, well done. The vaporized water has also opened up your airways and the cleansing process have been initiated. This process will release mucus and start healing inflammations and irritations in you respiratory system. It is not uncommon to get some initial further coughing - but it is like any training regime - keep your schedule and focus (only 5-10 min, morning and evening) and further sensations will be noticable For next year, we will introduce the measurement application - which will enable WellO2 users to read and follow (via bluetooth application to your smart device) - also individual training/exercise programmes will be available in the application. Thanks for your commitment and also for recommending this Scandinavian device (produced in EU) further to Australian's - we are committed to help Aussies to Breathe Better and Feel Better! Please reach out to me directly if any further feedback or queries Thanks //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaHi Jonas,
No problem. Thanks. Do you know when I will receive the $70?

WellO2 has made a difference
I have used this product for the last few weeks. I have mostly used the nose piece. I have a very runny / blocked nose when I sleep, and usually wake up to blow my nose during the night, and by the morning I am always very congested. Using WellO2 has definitely made a difference. I don't wake up as often, and I am much less sniffly in the morning. I will keep using it, and do recommend it to others. Great product.

Well done - it is great to read about your improved upper respiratory functions. Like all exercise regime and training programmes, it takes a while until you get the benefits and your determination and motivation have paid off. You sleep better and wake up feeling more energized and less sniffy - that's amazing results To maintain this 'better breathing experience' - please keep regularity for your WellO Breathing sessions. At least once daily, I suggest evenings and continue to use the nose piece It is also a family shared device - so if any other family members would benefit from the cleansing and exercising their breathing muscles - let them get onto the training programme - please make sure you follow the instructions for cleaning and hygiene With all the positive response for WellO2 for Australia - we have decided to create a free WellO2 Breathing Club, where we will share experiences and tips and together make further improvements to our product and daily lifes Thanks LeifM //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

You have done an amazing job with your breathing exercise, cleansing your system and especially the stronger breathing muscles have helped you to reduce snoring. It is natural that our breathing muscles (like any muscle) will weaken over the years and snoring could be a consequence Via the WellO2 'lung exercise' and the vaporized water - we will cleanse and activate these muscles and in your case, it has not only reduced the snoring, but also feeling more energised - that's fantastic results, well done Ivan Please try to maintain regularity, especially for the evening session - do not loose focus and motivation If anything, please feel free to reach out to me directly Thanks Ivan //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

Has definitely helped my sleep quality
Hi.
I personally don’t have any respiratory issues but had problems with proper sleeping at night-
So 6 weeks ago I was introduced to Well02 and almost immediately I noticed change- when I went to bed ,I woke up in the morning rather than during the night- possibly due to snoring.
This has made me more energetic and fresher for the whole day.
The Well02 has definitely helped me by giving me good night sleeps and thus more energetic feeling due to that.

It's amazing to read that you have got improved sleep and reduced snoring from the lung -& exercise process in WellO Breathing. Like any exercises and it's very important to keep consistency and being motivated - results will come over time - you have done really well in your first 6 weeks with your WellO2 breathing lung exercise device, well done, Rainer! I would suggest you continue at least once daily for 5-10 min's before going to bed, you will cleanse your respiratory system, but also very important - strengthen your breathing muscles, which is a key factor for reduced snoring (and avoid sleep apnea). Keep using this wellness device on a regular basis and breathe better - sleep better If you have any questions, feedback or want to reach out, please contact me directly via WellO2.com.au Thanks Rainer //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

A product that really works!
This is my third review on WellO2. I have thoroughly enjoyed using this product at least twice a day. I live opposite the Botanical Gardens, but usually avoid walking there in spring as the pollen irritates my throat and lungs. However, since I have been using the WellO2, I have started walking in the Gardens again, and it has been so much easier to cope with the pollen. A coincidence it may be, but the results speak for itself. Many people take for granted the ability to breath which comes naturally but for someone like me, who also rely on Ve...Read more
ntolin and various puffers, breathing is something that I do not take for granted. Anything that helps and makes it easier for me to breath and to enjoy a better lifestyle, I would certainly try. The WellO2 in this case has helped me tremendously in many ways. I have even increased my exercise regime which I now do daily due to a burst of energy and again, it has a lot to do with the ability to have more air in my lungs which previously would leave me gasping after each exercise rotation. I am also excited by the prospect of traveling again, and was pleased (and excited) to discover recently that there is a travel bag designed to fit the WellO2, so I can continue my new breathing exercise routine (whilst traveling) once the international borders reopen and I resume my work travels. I regularly travel to places where the air quality is not that good. I visit Hong Kong, Singapore and Inner Cambodia and Myanmar. In the dry season it is humid, sticky and dusty. Because of my lung condition (I have asthma and use both a preventative and a relief puffer), I usually travel with a mask as it is so polluted. But with a travel bag designed to fit the WellO2 which I hope I will be able to obtain one from WellO2 before the travels commence. All in all, I am grateful for the WellO2 and recommend this thoroughly to anyone that is willing to give it a whirl. The WellO2 has made a big difference in my lifestyle choices which I never previously had access to! Thank you WellO2 for making a difference ! ;)1 comment

Let me start with have glad I'm that you are now able to walk in the Botanical Gardens during the blooming Spring, full of pollen and your breathing is easier and stronger - Well Done Wee-Oon!! It comes as a result of your consistency and persistency of using the natural process of WellO Breathing, Steam (H2O) and RMT (respiratory muscle training), both for IMT (Inhalation) and EMT (exhalation), which combines steam and lung exercise. Now it is a matter of house keeping and stay on this new level of fitness for your lungs - many Australian's have reported that the 10 min session with their WellO device is peaceful and mindful event. I believe you should continue to exercise your lungs and keep the respiratory system clean with a daily routine. Enjoy your down time, listen to a pod cast or an ebook or your favourite music - think about all the positive things that is happening with your own body If you have any further queries / feedback - please never hesitate to reach out to me, via the WellO2 AU website or phone number listed Stay positive and healthy - it is more important than ever All the best, Wee-Oon //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

Working really well
After using the Well02 for six weeks, this is my overall assessment. It is definitely worth the effort as I have had no lung congestion since using the machine twice daily for about 8 minutes each time. My breathing is easier and my lungs seem stronger. It is simple to clean. Overall a good product.

Amazing job - well done! You are following the instructions given, an initial twice daily exercise scheme for about 6-10 min's and the results will come over time. It is normally after the first 7-10 days, when the house keeping and spring cleaning of mucus, irritations etc will get some noticeable improvements.

Easy to use
After trying this product for the last 6 weeks, both myself and my son have found it help to clear the airways. I have been able to increase my walking pace because I feel like my breathing is more regulated.
My son has been using it for his Asthma as well.
I can still only keep it on the 1st heat level as I feel like it burns me on Level 2. I have progressed to the 2nd resistance setting now though.
It is a nice looking device and nice and easy to store.
I would definately recommend this product to other people who could benefit from using it.

It is fantastic that you are reporting improved and 'cleared' airways. The natural process of utilizing Steam from tap water, combined with the lung exercise, respiratory muscle training is a great combination, but results can only come with commitment and persistency - you have been motivated and it has, so far, paid off. Well done! Also great to hear that your son with Asthma have tried to WellO2 - this was the original condition that the founder and inventor really wanted to find a natural solution for. His suffering from Asthma in young age (he is over 60 today), made him look for solutions. Sauna steam helped and aided, but you can't have Saunas twice daily. Over time this invention developed and further improvements are coming in 2021 with more advance technology and individual exercise programmes as well as measuring your results I'm very keen to hear further from you and your son - please feel free to reach out to me and/or join our Australian WellO2 Breathing Club for free news, updates and webinars about lung exercise and improved breathing Stay healthy and be positive Thanks Kylie //Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

My final review of the WellO2 device is that I would recommend this product for anybody who would like to improve their breathing and wellbeing. I have found that over the past six weeks slowly increasing my capacity and level on a daily basis that it has helped me with my overall breathing.

You have done a great job and I'm glad that you have experienced improved breathing and general wellbeing after your initial 6 weeks - fantastic results Like any training and exercises - it is a matter of finding the right balance of upkeeping your improved levels.

Over time you may want to keep regularity around every 2nd day If any queries or further suggestions - please never hesitate to contact me directly Thanks Hamish //Jonas PilhageSimilar opinion?

Worth a try!
I used this device for 6 weeks now, it's a well built device with effective mucus cleansing. It also helped with my chronic sinus congestion. I tend to add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to enhance the smelling while using it especially with the nasal mask. Wish the steam would last a bit longer than around 10 minutes. I definitely will continue to use it and try to reach the maximum resistance level 3.

The mucus cleansing is important to keep ongoing, especially when you feel a bit 'thick' in your respiratory airways and you have done a great regular and consistent job with your new device - well done! The use of a few drops of eucalyptus oil could increase the 'sensations' and you will get the feeling of clearing up - great to hear that you have used the nasal mask for this - perfect for upper respiratory system, through your noose. If you would like to take longer sessions and keep the heat level to 65c - I would suggest a break after 7-8 min's (or when you feel that water temp have decreased), change the water - heat up new water and continue your session for another 7-8 min's Great to hear that you challenge yourself to level 3 of the resistance - it is a sliding scale - you can do 2.5 on your way up to highest level (which is very hard and athlete's level). You should also be aware that you could alter inhalation resistance with exhalation resistance, via moving the 'resistance ring' in between the levels Keep being motivated and focused and you will get there!

Clears the airways
After using the WellO2 for nearly 6 weeks now I have progressed to the second heat and number 2 resistance settings and use it as part of my daily routine. It takes a bit of getting used to the higher resistance each time but after a few days it becomes easier. It helps clear my airways morning and night and has improved my lung capacity. Using it before bed I find I am sleeping with less coughing during the night too.

Well02 a great help for COPD
I have been using the Well02 for almost 6 weeks and have found that it definitely assists my breathing. Although my COPD is not as severe as some, it definitely helps. I know that if I miss a day for some reason I can feel that my breathing is harder. As I have progressed, at one stage I moved from temperature 1 to temperature 2 and upped the resistance from 1 to 2 at the same time. I found that a bit to difficult so I dropped the temp back to 1 until I was accustomed to resistance 2.
For anyone who has more than very mild COPD, the Well02 is a great help in improving your breathing.

You have done a great job with this breathing and training device. Like all training and exercise, it comes down to regularity and persistency - well done! Also great to read that you have been finding your individual levels of heat and resistance. It is individual and flexible settings, both for Inhalation and Exhalation resistance - you can simply move the resistance setting and no need to be exact on 2.0 - could be a bit less or a slightly more than 2.0 (flexible and floating resistance). Early next year - there will be a smart application to measure your individual lung capacity, improvements and also individual training programs - connected directly to your Smart phone, PC or tablet.

WellO2: an interesting concept for lung health
The WellO2 Steam Breather is an interesting concept. I was interested to try this device after a post-operative experience a few years ago where the anaesthesia left me with atelectasis, or partially collapsed lungs. The surgery was fine, but I had to remain in hospital for several more days due to low blood oxygen levels. The thing that really helped me at the time was breathing in saline vapour, which seemed to open up my airways and loosen the congestion and mucus in my lungs. The WellO2 is quite different because you are breathing against r...Read more
esistance, which makes it somewhat uncomfortable at first. I feel I was making progress and using was becoming easier until I was recently forced to pause on account of some unexpected major dental work. I wonder if the WellO2 could be recommended to patients, especially those of us who are older, who are contemplating surgery under general anaesthetic? As lung capacity and condition is always something the doctors investigate.Purchased in September 2020.

Dear Flyinfish
Thanks for your product review for the WellO2 - Nordic Steam Breather with Counter pressure (RMT)... Read more
Sorry for taking a few days to respond to your excellent feedback regaring the WellO2 Breathing Process. I had to consult with the Scandinavian 'experts' to give you the correct answer. Resistance training is commonly used after lung and heart surgeries to achieve full breathing capacity. Immediately after surgery, the resistance must be very small, for this reason the hospital usually uses a water-pep bottle with a resistance of only 5 or 10cmH2O. The WellO2 device is intended for use after a follow-up examination (unless otherwise directed by your doctor). WellO2 opens the bronchi and forces our lungs to take deep breaths so that atelectasis like the ones you describe, i.e. airless areas, do not enter the lungs. Especially after surgery, pain can affect our breathing so that the body’s oxygen content decreases and we do not utilize our full breathing capacity. Especially with age, the strength of the respiratory muscles may have weakened and then recovery from surgery is always slower. For the seniors, I would recommend using the WellO2 device in advance (if possible) so that the condition of the respiratory muscles is as good as possible even before the operation. And then, after the follow-up, use WellO2 again to get the respiratory muscle rehabilitation off to a good start. Flyinfish, I hope this answer from our Product Manager in Finland will be to your satisfaction - if not, please feel free to reach out to me via our Australian website All the best and stay positive and healthy Thanks Jonas Pilhage WellO2 AustraliaSimilar opinion?

Good but complicated
The WellO2 took a little while to set up and get used to setting up for each use. Over the first month of use I noticed an increase in my breathing performance and stamina when performing other breathing exercises. However the results were comparable to other breath strength trainers I have used in the past which were far least complicated.
As a unit it is very modern and visually appealing and it's complexity may have helped me build a ritual around it's use which kept me using it regularly.
However I did snap a clip off the resistance setting ring in the first week, thankfully that was the only damage to it that has occured

I'm so sorry to hear about the early stage of lung cancer - you should always consult your doctor if you have any listed pre-conditions (https://wello2.com.au/pages/faq) and get further advice
The price is $399 including free express shipping to your home. The WellO2 is a non-medical family device and it is for home wellness respiratory exercise training.
All product development and design is made in Finland and the manufacturing is based in EU (Poland) with sustainable thinking
With warm wishes from WellO2 Australia
