Bump? Anybody there?


If you can't make a comparison, how about personal experience with the Aura?

Thanks,

rgelston, Obviously, we can't speak for the forum admins, but I don't think that MOST of us have a "problem" with people offering an occasional machine or mask for sale here. In MY opinion, it helps out others that are looking for a lower cost first machine or a backup machine. Here's a link to one...

I don't just use this site to post spam - my 420G post was the first and last, although I have seen other people post stuff for sale here, so I've never been able to figure out the rule about it. Probably my problem is that I not a regular here, since I don't post unless I have a specific contributi...

Selling CPAP machines on eBay

I was once called a spammer for posting my GoodKnight 420G for sale here, and was told to go flog it on eBay. However, I don't think eBay allows the sale of CPAP machines. All I have ever seen on there are masks, accessories and manuals. Anyone here have the straight skinny on this? And if not eBay ...

The 432 with the foam might work well on a narrower female face!


Maybe you could change providers to one with a better selection of tryout masks. I would order a sight-unseen mask on the internet only as a last resort. They are expensive and as you know, not returnable.

Noise levels of Goodknight 420G and Everest Aura

I have a 420G that I like a lot, but I the Aura looks like it would better fit my camping and traveling needs. Has anyone had to opportunity to compare the noise levels of these machines? My 420G is a louder than my Fisher & Paykel and has slight Darth Vaderish rise and fall in the noise level. I no...

New Fisher & Paykel Flexifit 431 mask review

The old Flexifit 431 was my first mask that I used over a year. Time to get a new mask (sprung head gear and leaks) so my sleep lab let me try many other brands but there were serious leak problems with them all. The sleep doc thought the new Flexifit 432 would work - it has a foam insert in additio...

I too have been using buckwheat pillows for several years and am never without mine except on long plane trips. I think different brands offer different levels of noise, depending un the size of the hulls used and how densely packed the pillow is. My impression is that noisy pillows get quieter over...

I have a short goatee and medium mustache and use a Fisher and Paykel 431 full face mask because I mouth breath with a nasal mask. The 431 (and the 432 I'm now trying out) doesn't leak around the face hair at all which only contacts the mask at the bottom. Leaks tend to occur under the eyes and alon...

Hi Dave. I have a low time (ca. 300 hrs) GoodKnight 420G Travel CPAP with heated humidifier, hose, travel bag, and manuals for sale. It is conveniently small but works well - you see the many good reviews of this machine on https://www.cpap.com, where the bundled CPAP and humidifier lists new for $4...

CPAP pressure

So, is a regular old CPAP machine like my F&P HC220LE supposed to maintain a constant pressure, or is it supposed to increase pressure as needed by obstructive events up to the limit set by prescription? When I first put my mask on and crank up the machine, the rush of air is very noticible, but in ...

I am trying out a Fisher and Paykel 432 full face mask (one night so far) which is absolutely silent. It has a foam insert as well as the plastic bladder thingy and seems pretty comfortable so far. Less leaky than my 431 which is also fairly loud.
