New Travel CPAP Option - No Data

Doesn't even record compliance data, and does require a power cord. May be a solution for those looking for an economical basic CPAP (you would need to know your pressure to start with).

Edited to remove the "a" - thanks, Pugsy.

Your link doesn't work. Looks like you have the letter "a" in front of http and that will make it an invalid address.

It's cheap. Humidifier not included but if bought as a package deal another $100. So that makes it $289 with the humidifier.
I know nothing at all about the manufacturer. It isn't one of the main players and we haven't heard much about these off brands.
It's a very basic bare bones machine.

Agree it's a very basic machine - but it may suit someone who has no insurance and doesn't need humidification.

This machine is exactly the same as the Probasics Zzz-PAP machine, but under a different brand name. FYI, I bought the Zzz-PAP a few years back, and found the electronic smell to be pretty toxic (and I'm not one of the super-sensitive folks). I tried returning it and was denied (even after 2 hrs of use). I ended up running it continuously for 10 days, as advised, with no decrease in smell. I even took the unit it apart to wash it (the plastic components and inside the CPAP), but it was no help.I've been on CPAP for 20 yrs, and have used at least 10 machines--this was the worst experience ever.

Currently, it's the most expensive paperweight I've ever purchased.
