Help with choosing the best CPAP

[awakeinWA]

I had a follow up appointment today after my second titration study. The Dr.'s office told me I should convert my rental to purchase and here is the machine I would be buying. I objected. I asked why this machine and could they explain why it was the best one for me? The response I got was basically that they love their respironics rep and that they got a good price on this particular CPAP, they were all pretty much the same, but this was was a little lighter. I objected. I ended up purchasing the same type of machine that I had been renting because I really disliked the way the humidifier was handled in the new M series machine. The humidifier looked very awkward. Now, here I am at home, can't sleep, the new machine I ended up with is noisier than my rental was and I can here every breath I take, even though it's the exact same equipment. The only difference is they increased my pressure from 7 to 8. I have no clue what to do. I'm new to this and feel like I don't have any options. I would love some advice.

That is very strange-the new machine same type is nosier? Maybe its got to break in?

Is the air filter installed properly?

Or Breakdown. Maybe their Rep. gives them a cut on the noisey ones? Noise doesn'yt matter much, find something else to listen to, I use nature sounds. Jim

Figure how much you are going to end up paying for it, and see if buying online is cheaper. One like mine in my sig, is a better vaule. Jim
