When I got my Bipap the Home Health Agency that I purchased it from told me that they have a "hardship" program where they donate machines to individuals. This came up when I asked them about donating my old CPAP machine. They said they couldn't take old machines but then He told me about the hardship program I live in Ct. near Hartford, you may want to check some of the local health care agencies.
Good luck finding a machine!!

Anyone care to reassure OP that I don't scam people?
I made the offer and I don't scam people. Never have and never will.
It's my PR S1 760 with humidifier but without the heated hose conversion kit upgrade. I was saving it for backup/travel but it might as well be used by someone. Not sure about the hours as it has been a while since I fired it up and looked. Not horribly high though....about a years worth of use if I remember right.

Edit: around 1290 hours but will have a few more once I let it run and air out a bit.
Humidifier is brand spanking new. I have another 60 series machine but I only used 1 humidifier.
Gotta get the cat hairs off the travel case though... everyone knows about my evil alien cats.

If I have a new hose I will include a new hose but I don't think I have one at the moment...just a much used white performance hose. Since I have been using the Resmed and heated hose haven't needed to get any spare regular hoses.
I would put my life on the line for Pugsy! You will never find a woman so wonderful anywhere except heaven
Morbius, are you bored?

If the O.P. passes let me know. Mine just developed a bad SD card slot. Very generous offer.
