Someone is selling used air curve 10 VAuto

Post by alancalan » Sat Jun 15, 2024 3:57 pm

Someone near me is selling an an air curve 10 VAuto. That is printed on the machine. It's silver and beige although the beige might be white because the bag it comes in is not looking black it looks brownish so I think there's a color issue with the picture.

I thought that they were black and white. I have the air curve 11 that is all white.

How do you find how much time it was used? It says brand new and the original plastic is still on the screen which means nothing.

Thanks LSAT, I checked out how to do it on my air curve 11 and of course it was different than the video but I still got the settings and to ABOUT and there it was, so thank you.

The guy selling machine says it has about 6,000 hours on it, which at 7 hours a day it's close to 2½ years, which isn't bad. My S9 isn't in great shape with cracks all over the body and the button on the right side doesn't work. Probably has about 25,000 a hours on it and of course it says the motor has outlived its life and I can't get rid of that message because of button doesn't work on the right hand side. So this seems to be like a good price under $500 for a backup to my AC11.

I guess I should just run it and listen to it and maybe bring a mask and tubing to see how it works. The only tubes I have are the plain plastic tubes that I use on the S9. Is there a different tube required on the ac10 like there is on the AC 11. The plain tubes don't fit on my machine.

the 9, 10, and 11 models all use different heated tubes. No interchangeability
