Re: Need help with Philips Respironics DreamStation

Yep, that was the first thing I tried. Today, when plugging it back in, the home screen will light up. But it goes down again as soon as the air comes on. It didn’t seem to be doing that last night. Does this issue sound familiar to anyone? You might be having severe brown-outs. I live in the Amazo...

Re: Any way to reduce humidity?

Thank you both! I'm running an AC at night and that definitely is helpful. I'll look at getting a dehumidifier.

Any way to reduce humidity?

I recently moved from the US to the Amazon region of Brazil. I have quickly discovered that during the rainy season I very much do not need to use a humidifier. I've still got it attached just to reduce the noise, but I don't have any water in it. It's currently so humid that it feels like I'm using...

Where is a good place to buy a CPAP online? Isn’t this website affiliated with a website that sells CPAPs?
I bought my travel CPAP from www.cpap.com. They were great and worked with me on a couple of issues. I'd buy from them again.

Re: $100 Rebate for the Dreamstation Go Auto until 1/31/20

I ordered a Dreamstation Go and Humidifier on 12/30, and promptly submitted a rebate. I honestly thought it wasn't legit but figured I didn't have anything to lose. I just received a rebate check from Philips for $100.00. It took under 4 weeks. If you are on the fence about this, you have until 1/31...

You have to call and ask, but Second Wind CPAP carries refurbished ones. I'm not sure why they don't list them on the website, but they almost always have some.
Maybe Resmed asked---nicely.
If people knew how many get returned, it could affect sales.
You might just be onto something there.

Re: TRavel CPAP Recomendations

My home CPAP (Dreamstation Auto) and travel (Dreamstation Go) both can use 110-220 without a voltage converter. I think most modern CPAPs are that way. The Dreamstation Go has a good humidifier, and I'm very happy with it. I use bottled water with it, not distilled. Sometimes I use tap if the water ...

Re: Dreamstation Go Review

I watched every video of the Dreamstation Go that I could find as well as read tons of reviews. Many would talk about how it's about the same footprint as a regular Dreamstation, but they don't quite do justice to how much the shape makes a difference in packing. I'm a big fan and suspect I'll be us...

Re: Mini CPAP machine for travel

I was going to buy an Air Mini but talked to the folks at CPAP.com and Second Wind. The staff at Second Wind were extra helpful. I ended up with the Dreamstation Go. It's not the smallest option out there, but without the humidifier it's pretty tiny. With the humidifier it's still smaller than my Dr...

Re: Dreamstation Go Review

I purchased a Dreamstation go last week and just finished traveling for 4 nights with it. Prior to that I had been traveling with a Dreamstation Auto. The go is a little smaller in every dimension, but what really makes it seem much smaller to me is that it is the extremely uniform in shape. I could...

My experience with Dreamstation Go

I was diagnosed with OSA in September 2019. My doc prescribed a Dreamstation Auto. That's his preferred machine and he virtually always prescribes that machine. I was excited to get it, and I've used it nightly since then. I've traveled a lot with it. The case isn't so great, but it's worked. But I ...

This rocks, and I hope it's legit. I was about to order one and this helps me decide to get the humidifier.

Re: Supplies for 2 years?

The heated hoses that I have are indeed for the System One machine and won't work with your DreamStation. Sorry. But do let me know about P10 nasal pillow preference on size. You might be like me...able to use 2 sizes just about equally well. I was that way with the Small and Medium sizes. I prefer...
