Need advice on new machine
Need advice on new machine
I have been re prescribed a cpap machine for sleep apnea. I used a cpap around 2011-2013 and then had difficulty tolerating it. I've cone full circle and it's time for another machine. The last one was Resmed. I learned A LOT from this group. I know DME companies are crooks and it matters what you get. What are the new machines like? What models should I consider to assure I'm not being ripped off? Thanks in advance!

https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... t-humidair
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... with-modem
That's an expensive modem for what you get. Used AS10's with 5khours are going for 300USD in my area... no guarantee on modem type etc.
Get the C2C if you are paying for it... and you don't have to show monthly compliance. Just take the SD card into your doctor when you visit. Love my AS10's, have two of them.
