Shopping for a new machine

I have been using a Resmed s6 since 2000. It's a simple machine, no controls or feedback; just turn it on and go to sleep. It is lately showing it's age and I want to replace it with something simple, quiet, and effective. I don't need sleep reports or fancy controls. I have talked to some salespeop...

Re: Dry Mouth

Re: Dry Mouth

Hello, sheltie.

Recently started having the same experience.
