Should I buy this CPAP?

http://cpapblowouts.com/page15a.html

Respironics M series A-Flex. $549.

Includes humidifier. Also - is A-Flex something I want?

Lots of people have this machine. I have this machine. I turned aflex off and am using cflex, which I find more comfortable. To me, the effect on the end of my inhalation on aflex was weird. You can always turn off aflex, even cflex. You can also disable the auto feature and use it as an M sereis Pro. Great price for a new machine and humidifier if the seller is reputable.

That is a fine machine.. but I know nothing about that "vendor".
A couple of things bother me:

No physical address listed.
Oops.. my bad, apparently they do take credit cards.

The 360 area code covers part of Washington state.

I have that machine and love it. I do use the A-flex and to me it makes a wonderful difference. The only negative about the machine is the very small humidifier. I would like to add the F&P Humidifier to my setup.

So if I don't like the A-Flex I can put it in C-Flex mode? Seems like for an extra $50 it's worth trying. This web site was recommended by the doctor that gave me a prescription as a good place to buy.

I think this vendor is in Bellingham - which is north of Seattle quite a ways and home of Western Washington University.

360 does cover a lot of Western Washington but excludes Seattle and Tacoma.

Have you compared "apples to apples" with CPAP.COM?

Also, remember......CPAP.COM will price match. (all things being equal)

Den

I bought it. It will ship tomorrow.

Am I the only one that thinks the power cord setup on this machine appears to have been designed by an 8 yr old?

Yes. And if you don't like either A-flex or C-flex, you can turn both off. It's all about personal preference. I happen to like A-flex very much.

Someone using the same paypal address has been selling under the name "sleeprightonight " on cpapauction.com

This is one of their auctions:

Their feedback rating looks good, but as with any Internet purchase, "buyer beware." If you decide to go ahead, I would use a credit card for payment so you could contest the change if there is a problem.

why anyone would buy a CPAP machine from this unauthorized flake is amazing. Ever hear of receiving stolen property?

also, Respironics will NOT honor a warranty on a CPAP that wasn't purchased from the original DME customer.

Stolen Property! Pretty serious accusations!! Do you have proof???

This seller also advertises on Sell.com and has 100% feedback. I've communicated with him and he is very helpful and up front. Frankly, I am considering purchasing a CPAP from him but am also wondering how safe it is, even through Paypal (which is not always buyer-friendly) and a credit card (somewhat safer). It's a lot of money to send to a stranger!

As far as the Remstar M series CPAP goes...if you don't mind a lot of noise when it's hooked up, buy it. Otherwise, look for something quieter, like the Resmed Elite II unit that I am planning on purchasing to replace my new and very noisy Remstar M series CPAP.
