resmed machines go through a cool down phase after you turn them off, where the heater shuts off, and the blower runs at a low speed for 20-30 minutes or so, to do exactly what you're wishing for

I do not have any experience with the hurricane dryer yet. I ordered one from CPAP.com and it should come today by FedEx. I have talked to the gentleman who owns The company and he is very nice with lots of customer service help. I am very confident that I will love this product. I considered getting so clean and decided against it because of after doing research it appears this unit doesn't do that much and you still have to clean your skin oil's off your mask. If you still have to clean your mask why use the unit. One thing is for sure I hate to have a wet mask when I go to bed. Most of the time my mask is dry by the time I go to bed but at least 40% of the time it is not dry yet. This is why I decided to get the hurricane dryer.

Fixed it for you.

Then again, I'm sitting at home alone and lonely. So maybe you're on to something.

Maybe he could get a patient on Dawn and Hot Water. Jim

At least unlike So Clean, that could clean. Add a little Vinegar it could remove calcium deposits, with a jar of elbow grease.

Your doctor should concentrate on taking care of his patients

No solution is needed, as THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
Cleaning is easier than those of you who have never used cpap can imagine.
Often it is not even necessary. The current market is already saturated.
If I were obsessed with frequent cleaning, I would go to cpap.com, and get a Hurricane dryer.
Since I not so afflicted, unscented baby wipes are usually sufficient, generic, of course.
Extra soil is easily removed in a clean Tupperware container with hot water and Dawn.
Fill, drop in, attach lid, burp it, and SHAKE.
Then I just spread it out on a clean towel on my pillow--and keep the cat out of the bedroom for a while
What could be easier?
