Subjects who have not used the ELLIPTA™ inhaler nor the DISKUS™ inhaler in the past 6 months will be screened to participate in the study. Subjects will have an equal chance of being in any of the following two groups (1:1 allocation). One group will be dispensed the ELLIPTA inhaler at Visit 1 to use during the first period (once daily for 5 to9 days), and the DISKUS inhaler at Visit 2 to use during the second period (twice daily for 5 to 9 days). The other group will be dispensed the DISKUS inhaler at Visit 1 to use during the first period (twice daily for 5 to 9 days), and the ELLIPTA inhaler at Visit 2 to use during the second period (once daily for 5 to9 days). At the end of the second period, subjects will complete the study by answering 7 questions to assess their preference of device attributes and dosing regimens between the two inhalers. The null hypothesis for device preference for a specific attribute is that 50% subjects express a preference in that attribute for ELLIPTA and 50% do NOT express a preference in that attribute for ELLIPTA, i.e., the odds for preferring ELLIPTA to not preferring ELLIPTA is unity. The null hypothesis for dosing regimen preference is that 50% subjects express a preference of once daily dosing and 50% do not express a preference of once daily dosing (prefer twice daily dosing or have no preference).

Number of Participants With the Indicated Device Preference Based on the Size of the Numbers on the Dose Counter
The number of participants who expressed the indicated device preference (i.e., preference for ELLIPTA inhaler, preference for DISKUS inhaler, and no preference) based on the size of the numbers on the dose counter was summarized by study inhaler use sequence.
Time frame: up to Study Day 26
Number of Participants With the Indicated Device Preference Based on the Number of Steps Needed to Take the COPD Medication
The number of participants who expressed the indicated device preference (i.e., preference for ELLIPTA inhaler, preference for DISKUS inhaler, and no preference) based on the number of steps needed to take the COPD medication was summarized by study inhaler use sequence.
Time frame: up to Study Day 26
