Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Please excuse me for not getting back to you earlier regarding your questions. (Please excuse me if I employ incorrect terminology in this post. I'm still learning.) I've actually gone ahead and placed an order for an S3 rental unit. I found a DME, Apria, with an ...

I want to get a Resmed S9 APAP machine, but I'd like to test it out first by renting. Does anyone have any suggestions on who to rent from? I've started searching online. However, I do feel like I'm approaching these sources more or less at random, based whatever order they turn up on Google. That m...

From what I'm reading on this thread, people have different reactions to these machines. For some, S9 works best; for some, PR1 works best; and for many, either machine works fine. At this point, I'd like to try the S9. But I think it makes to rent it first and see how it works for me. I could use a...

So if that's your deciding factor . . . Good to know. Thanks! You should be aware that if you expect Kaise...

I keep seeing people talk about the pressure pulse on the PR machine, but honestly I've never felt it. I've even held my breath while awake to see if I could feel it, and nothing. Maybe I'm just oblivious? Oblivious? Nah. I wouldn't put it in those terms. I figure that some individuals are sensitiv...

You've got the gist of it , but there are actually two different things here. The puffs are diagnostic pulses used to check if your airway is open. PR1 uses a single 2cm pulse that bothers some people, though in Rev 1 this was softened and bothered fewer people. Now I think they're on Rev 3, so do ...

I will attempt to clarify ASAP.) I've been reading through this forum's very helpful discussions comparing different AP...
