Re: AirTouch F20 is such a major disappointment

I still don't believe there is such a thing as the perfect mask . Perfect is the enemy of good. Who's asking for perfect? I'd settle for an F20 that doesn't leak out of 4 different spots and gets no better no matter how much I adjust it, unless I tighten to the point my head's about to pop off.

AirTouch F20 is such a major disappointment

I got skin irritation and sore spot from F30, so I had high hopes for foam F20. It's terrible, couldn't do a damn thing to stop it leaking from 4 spots at the same time. So disappointed. Do liners really make much of a difference?

Re: DME/insurance or buy online? Same price, what do I do?

I ended up going thru my DME. Cost me a bit more than an online vendor ($150 or so) but figured that's a small tradeoff when I can apply it to my deductible.

Re: DME/insurance or buy online? Same price, what do I do?

Thanks for all the feedback! I found this DME by shopping around (avoided the one my doc had originally provided). They gave me an estimate of $950 for a Resmed AirSense 10 Auto with first mask included. So it sounded like a fair amount to me. I don't know that I will have alot of medical expenses l...

Re: DME/insurance or buy online? Same price, what do I do?

So paying through a DME and using my insurance is roughly the same price as buying machine and masks online. My deductable is $1500, so that may figure in just this year since I'm buying the machine, but probably not in following years. With the costs being roughly the same and deductable not likel...

I'm a newbie and need help on picking resmed or dreamstation please!

Hi all, I'm new here and need advice. Long and short of it: I got my first cpap last week, a PR dreamstation. Seems to work well enough and is easy enough to use. But I have seen so much feedback online saying that Resmed AS 10 is superior. My DME gave me until Monday to switch to Resmed if I want. ...
