I think the zapper appeals to more people because of it's ease of use ie not having to dial in specific frequencies and less expensive than a Rife machine. If you are more technically minded and know exactly what you are dealing with a Rife machine might be a good choice. I love the zapper for it's simplicity, I have several different ones, hands free strap on boxes, and the ones with pipes. Copper pipes work better and faster, the little strap on boxes are more convenient. Whatever appeals to you as long as you use it diligently will work. Ultimate zapper and Parazapper are both good choices.
