Re: Husband says CPAP is scary and unattractive...

Nothing attractive about a CPAP machine unless your the one using it. Nothing scary about a CPAP machine unless your uneducated.

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

just received a replacement Dreamstation 1 machine from Phillips. This process took way to long and Phillips should be ashamed. I ended up buying a Resmed 10 machine and will never do business with Phillips again. Now if i could just find the old Dreamstation 1, Its been two years!

Re: How do I know when to replace my Airsense 10 Autoset?

When the display says its time for replacement have a backup machine on hand. Its always good to have a backup machine regardless. I have at least six backup machines all still work, some are over 20 years old.

Re: Newly diagnosed — Respironics vs airsense

My Dreamstation 1 and My Aircurve 10 provide the pressurized volume of air to combat my sleep apnea. I rely on either one to do the job.

No confidence in Phillips especially with a referb unit. Replaced my DS1 air chamber with a foam free chamber.

Re: I have hoarded old CPAP stuff!

I too hoard my old CPAP equipment. I always purchase used equipment that fits my needs. Some day my remaining relatives will have the pleasure of discarding all of it.
