Re: Backup machines
I've got the same machine I use, in a case in the closet, same settings, mask, hose, everything needed.
I had a spare for the backup, till someone made off with it.

Re: Backup machines
I have the same backup as you. It has like a week or two of usage on it. I expect to use it as my travel machine as well.

Re: Backup machines
I have a spare that I keep set up in the guest bedroom so I can keep my germs away from my wife when I have a cold. It's almost the same as my main machine (Autoset vs Autoset For Her) and since I am not using the For Her mode, it is really the same thing. It's a low hours machine I bought for backup and as a travel machine.

Re: Backup machines
I have a back up machine. And a battery in case the power goes out.

Re: Backup machines
me, for sure. my main machine is crapping out on me so i bought an airsense to serve as my fisrt line machine, while my old machine will serve as backup.
i'm very lucky in that i don't have to rely on insurance to buy one and that gives me more flexibility.
i could NEVER imagine having to go through a night without cpap!!

Re: Backup machines
Since my wife and I both use the same model machine, we have two spares. One for me and one for her.

Re: Backup machines
Have a backup S9 and an S8. If all 3 died, I have my original brick Escape, now my hose drier.

Re: Backup machines
I have one. No, wait, I actually have two. I retired my first machine, a Phillips Respironics, but right before that I bought a refurbished Resmed Airsense 9 For Her. Then I bought the 10 For Her, having noticed that the "For Her" version seemed to work better for me. The 9 is my backup, and it's the one I travel with. I am thinking about having the old Respironics refurbished. I am paranoid about being without a machine, so given that frame of mind, a backup to the backup makes perfect sense!
