Like a kid at Christmas!

Post by DaveL » Thu Feb 26, 2009 2:53 pm

I've just received authorization to get a new cpap machine! My old one, affectionately called "leaf-blower" has 19,000 + hours on it in 9 years.
I'm looking forward to having a machine that is smaller and quieter than my old beast.

Regards,
DaveL

Hi--I don't know what kind of machine you had --but I can highly recommend the S8 Elite II CPAP Machine. It is a wonderful DATA CAPABLE machine --very quiet, compact and travels well if you need to take it on trips with you. Good Luck in your search --I am sure that there will be others that will chime in with machine suggestions for you too!!

Thanks Carrie. That's the one I *think* I'll get. I had some help on the forums at http://www.dpreview.com because I like to take photo equipment along too. There's a limit to what I can carry on aircraft.

Now I need a mask...for a round face, and good sized nose.
