Painfully sleep deprived, will be going to bed now. Will post pics of machine run hours in this thread later. Stay tuned. Get some sleep. Hopefully the additional info will help people decide. But at this point, going from . . . Original owner could have been a smoker . . . to . . . The original ow...

This sounds crazy. Either there’s more to the story or time to find a new DME.

I need to buy one of these machines, but I could never pay $300 for one if it has any smoke smell.

Hi tarpatel, You may or may not be familiar with the term engineers use – 'mean-time-to-failure' – 'mean' meaning 'average', 'the statistical mean'. AFAIK, the MTF for Philips Respironics machines is 10,000 hours. I don't have a hard number for ResMed machines, but I imagine their MTF is in the sam...

Depending on how much distilled water you use, the humid-x cost is only about 2x that of distilled water.

You don't need to use distilled water.

Please elaborate.

Palerider, here's how to be nice to people: Phil587, I'm genuinely sorry about your bad experience. Having to go on Cpap therapy can be bad enough without equipment or provider hassles. One suggestion is to consider getting a "backup" machine now. For most of us, that comes later, but for you it may...

As soon as I saw the title of this post, I knew the first reply would be from PALERIDER !!!

I'm not seeing how this method tests to ensure the CPAP can deliver the set pressure in the presence of the normal amount of air "leak".

I'm upset, and accusing me of slander is unfair. Of course I agree. I would have ignored that comment if I were y...
