What are your thoughts about the new iCH Cpap machine that CPAP.com just put up for sale? it looks so cool and takes up way less room!! Let me know if anyone has gotten one yet and how do you like it?

It reminds me of some of the stuff at Target a few years back.
Maybe it's the same designer. I shouldn't be nasty, but he was a one trick pony.

Target? I don't think Target ever sold CPAP supplies or machines. You must have misread my post.

looks nice but no heated hose and no EPR. But I guess a good entry level machine. I also did not see if it come with software or if that is an extra purchase.

I think she meant the design style reminded her of some items carried by Target a few years back.

I personally think it looks nice, I think many of the more common machines take up more space than they really need.

Sorry, I was unclear; The design of the case kind of reminds me of a shape resembling a gourd
or mango used about a decade ago for assorted consumer goods--(usually over-priced.)
It seems to have a small footprint, with some protection against accidental back flow.
It is a "travel machine" with no DC operation (!), and 28 Db sound level is a bit on the high side.
Software is ONLY available to clinicians (and when has THAT ever stopped us?)
Still, it sounds like a reasonable price for the features. (Maybe one for the OTC market?)
We will hear more about it, just because of the bottom line.
I confess: I have purchased a few items, based on appearance alone--and was sorry afterward.

I saw the need for an inverter, which reduces battery "life" by 50%, and immediately stopped reading/lost interest. I don't understand why any company would bother to produce a machine that can't be used if there is a power failure. After all, I am sure that 99% of us will experience at least 1 failure each year!

--especially a travel machine!

Looks are the last thing I look for in a XPAP, If fails on lack of basic functions and features as have been mentioned in above posts, its not going to be treating me. Jim
