New ResMed Mask. AirFit F30

[Lou Cypher]

Anyone try this mask ?

Wondering if an AirTouch F30 with memory foam will follow ???

[Stom]

The availability of the F30 in the US and Canada was just announced a few hours ago. So I'm thinking it will be a few days before anyone can post their experience with it.

[Pugsy]

There may have been a few forum members who were part the demo trials for this mask but they were probably sworn to secrecy until the release.
If the people who were part of the demo trials aren't members of this forum it is unlikely we can get their input.

So we have to wait until forum members who want to try this mask actually get it and let us know there experience.
Cpap.com just announced pre ordering of this mask a few hours ago...so give it a bit of for people to test it out and report on things.

It is NOT at the top of my "to do" list at this time so don't be looking for me to experiment with it anytime soon. It doesn't interest me and I have my mad money fund earmarked for some that I find more appealing ....at new bigger better stove.

won't you find that hard to strap to your face?

I'm being fitted for the strapless model.

When was the last time someone told you that you're weird?

I am interested in this one. Confused a bit, though, as the user manual from the ResMed site (which I assume comes with the mask after you buy it) says to use the fitting template before using the mask to get the right size cushion and frame, which sounds like all sizes are included (kinda like the Hybrid). But on cpap.com's site you need to pick a size (small or medium).

My current stove I could probably almost fix it to my head...imagine this...24 inch stove..teeny tiny oven...ancient...so ancient I have pilot lights that are always on. No electronic ignition. Near as I can tell 40 to 50 years old maybe. The oven temp no where near accurate..the closest I can get is within 25 degrees and that's a crap shoot. Sometimes it's 50 degrees or more off. Yes, I use an oven thermometer.
I love to cook but not under the conditions I am working with now. So before anyone gets anything....I get my new bigger stove.
And it is taking more than just a new stove because I have to redo the cabinet to make room for a 30 inch stove. I live out in the country....propane. So a very minor kitchen remodel is also involved. It's at the very top of my "to do" list.
I am worth it.... A new full face mask is at the very bottom of my "to do" list which is fairly lengthy. There's more other stuff to spend my money on than a mask that I don't pretty care to try and know I won't ever wear.
Next below the new stove is a deck off the front porch. There's no reason for me to try a different mask just for grins at this time and I don't have the money anyway.

ResMed does make a fit guide template for the Ff30 based on the dimensions of the underside of your nose. You can see a video of it at this link:

https://www.resmed.com/us/en/healthcare ... t-f30.html

It seems a little confusing. The guide apparently comes in the box, so that a DME can check the size before they issue the mask to you, which doesn't work for mail order so much.Sometimes cpap.com has PDFs of the fit guides you can print - with a reference to make sure the scale is correct. But I haven't found one yet on cpap.com or on ResMed's site.

Ah, thanks for the clarification; makes perfect sense now!

yup, with you on that. when we moved from washington state to flagstaff, az we did some downsizing. one of the things my wife wanted was a gas stove (after years of cooking on an electric) and she wanted a 20"!! we found it and even though the contractor thought we were nuts, the put it in.

however, it DOES have an accurate themometer as far as we know....

well, you posted this at 10:39, so a couple of hours, at least.

This one would fit without a remodel, assuming it can be converted to propane.

Trust me...I have researched all the 24 inch gas stoves. Most can be converted and one actually came already converted to propane.
I had some specific wants on my list and that Hotpoint (coincidence that is a newer version of the HotPoint I already have)...isn't black and doesn't have the top grates that I want and the frigging oven is 2.9 cu ft. You can barely bake a big chicken in it.
I don't want a broiler on the bottom either...it takes away from the oven capacity. I can't remember when I even wanted a broiler.
I don't ever want another white appliance of any kind.

This decision has been 3 years in the making. I don't do much without a lot of research. I want a 30 inch stove with massive oven and I am willing to give up 6 inches of cabinet space (actually drawers) to get it. And I found cabinet with 4 drawers that fill fit perfectly and it's 15 inch....I only had 16 inches to work with.

So this is what I am getting. It checks off ever single box on my want list and even some stuff on the wish list that I didn't think I could get.

It will be here the end of the month and the cabinet 2 days later and I already have a piece of granite (which I can cut myself) for the countertop for the cabinet.

It's a small kitchen remodel. Unscrew one base cabinet and swap it out for a smaller base cabinet. Easy peasy. I have laid tile floors, granite countertops, new bathroom floor (just recently) and new laundry room floor (also very recent)....I can handle this with my eyes closed.

Actually looking forward to it. I love doing stuff like that. You should see what I did to the She Shed we got.
I never go to the mall but going to Lowe's or Menards....that's where I love to shop. Don't get me a blender...get me a wood working tool to make me happy.
Current project at the moment...repainting the ceiling and adding some texture because it was so plain slick and ugly.
Got slowed down at bit because the recent rain and cold weather has played hell with my back but I will get it finished this week. Kitchen ceiling is already done (along with the new light fixtures).
