Where does the Aloha Exhaust?

Post by tangents » Mon May 14, 2012 11:31 am

I currently use the Swift FX, and am happy with everything except the direction of the exhaust - right at my husband. Where does the Aloha exhaust?

Thanks!

the exhaust on Aloha blows up away from your partner

I think so. For me it is a little more quiet than the Swift FX and I have less of the normal in my head inhale and exhale noise with the Aloha. I can actually hear my machine faintly now whereas before I really couldn't.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

I find the exhaust very quiet, it does point away from you partner, it vents up if you keep the hose down, and down if you route the hose overhead. Love it, love it, love it!

In answer to the question "Where does the Aloha Exhaust?" doesn't it simply depend on who or what you aim it at?

After all, the exhale port swivels 360 degrees.

Aim it anywhere you want it, depending on who you want to be considerate of or who you want to annoy!

I haven't had one problem with this little thing. No noise, no leaks, can barely feel it's on, numbers are great. What more can you ask for?
