Shopping for a new machine

Post by Jeannh » Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:16 pm

I’ve been using a ResMed S9 for over 5 years, so it’s time for a new one. Today I use an auto bi-level (VPAP). Anyone have a machine they like better than the ResMed AirSense/Curve VAuto?

Thanks in advance, Jean

As far as I'm concerned, it's the best machine, if you don't have some other issues, (copd, compsa, csa, other lung issues).

If you're happy with your machine, I suggest getting a machine by the same manufacturer.

I am also moving from the same S9. I tried the Dreamstation -- there was a lot that I really liked more than the S9. While my AHIs were great, I just did not feel rested. Something about my breathing style seems to work better with ResMed. Next week I get the AIrcurve...
