I know what you mean slinky. That AutoSet Spirit gave a nice read out of how long I sleep and how many times I stopped breathing. I also liked it because it didn't blow as hard all the time.

I got a RESMED S8 Compact System today after having a M series with a heated Humidifier. The reason for the new machine is because my heated humidifier was running dry every night on the setting of 3. How does everyone like their RESMED S8 Compact System with the HumidAire 3i Humidifier?

The technician at the sleep center told me the CPAP would break if the water ran out in as little as two hours. I was told I would smell it burning and what you said makes perfect sense. I didn't smell anything last night but I will make sure it is always filled and if I wake up in the middle of the...
