Worth every penny I paid out of pocket for it. The DME provided me with a nonCFlex machine and it was hard to get used to, made lots of noise when I exhaled. I bought the Remstar Auto w/CFlec and it's like I don;t even have the machine oin when I exhale. I have it set on 2 also.

Thanks for input - where are the leaks occuring?

Thanks everyone. My leak number bugs me. I have the Comfortgel Petite pretty snug and can't believe it leaks much at all, yet I have a leak number you see above.

Auto CPAP w/C-Flex worth the extra money

I am ready to order a new machine out of pocket and I am considering either the Remstar Plus w/C-Flex or the Remstar Auto w/C-Flex. My setting is only 8. My question is, is the auto worth the extra $230+? I am ok with my present provided machine, which is a Remstar Plus W/O C-Flex, but liked the C-F...

When my first provider asked me to bring back the equip. because my ins. carrier changed and they referred me to a new supplier, I asked how much they would just sell me the stuff I had for. They quoted around $1200 for a Rems...
