Use A Swift LT? Free Breeze For Feedback!

Post by johnnygoodman » Fri Dec 05, 2008 7:51 am

Good Morning CPAPtalkers,

If you use a Swift LT and have never tried a Breeze, and are willing to give detailed feedback in exchange for a freebie - today is your day. Enroll now for the newest CPAPtalk.com Product Challenge:

https://www.cpaptalk.com/productchallen ... .php?id=14

Why this challenge?

1. More people are choosing Nasal Pillow systems over traditional Nasal Masks.

https://www.cpap.com/brandChartLines.ph ... me=mask-vs

2. The Breeze is a tried and true favorite, but the Swift line of masks taken together (Swift II, Swift LT and Swift LT for Her) dominate the pillow segment.

3. Is this due to the Swift being made and promoted by an "R" company, or is it due to delivering a superior level of ease and comfort?

We're going to find out! To enroll, please visit:

https://www.cpaptalk.com/productchallen ... .php?id=14

To see the report I've pulled those graphs from, which also shows many other segments of preferences, please visit:

https://www.cpap.com/cpap-user-preference.php

Happy Challenging!

Johnny

I have tried both already (Breeze first 18 months, Swift LT last 12 months) so I'm not entering ... but honestly, the Breeze doesn't have a chance

Now, now, DS!! Don't be tampering/biasing the jury!!

I've learned to NEVER take someone's opinion *in place of* making my own opinion by experience. I would have missed out on a lot of really good relationships, a lot of good restaurants, and other goods/services that ended up being just what I needed/wanted at the time.


Good luck to all those entered. Which ever wins is secondary to the DETAILS of how/why it was superior/inferior/ or equal but different.

I'm not too sure about that. I also have both and prefer the Breeze over the Swift LT. I can position the nasal pillows easier, there is more of an adjustment just by being able to turn them to fit your nares. Plus I like the locking nut on the right side to lock a positon in place so you can get a better fit. I just feel like I get a better seal with the breeze. It does take a bit to get used to the plate on the back of your head but I am normally a side to stomach sleeper and this does not bother me. If I were to vote right now, I would vote for the Breeze!!!

It's interesting just how many ways there are to skin a cat - you'd think a sleep machine forcing air "at ya" would have one way to do it - let alone zillions of masks, pillows, nasal, full faced, lions, tigers, bears, etc. - the breeze appears very different from the swift in a couple of areas, one of the reasons i signed up for the challenge. Hope the breeze blows in my direction...

Well, I wouldn't mind comparing a Breeze to my CL2, but that, alas, is NOT the challenge!

Got to admit, I have been thinking about trying the cl2. I only hear good about it and I like the plate in the forehead area instead of the back of the head. But it would take alot to seperate me from my breeze.

Hi Johnny: I signed up for the challenge, but my email address seemed to be a problem, so not sure if it went through or not. Thanks...

I signed up as well Although I haven't ordered anything from CPAP.com yet, I will after the holidays are over and the dreaded home renovations resume. I have been very curious about the Breeze.

Thank you for this opportunity.

I signed up as well. I've never seen a Breeze, but it looks comfortable in the photos. I am ready to give the SWIFT LT a challenge...it is by far my favorite mask. Lisa
