August 2006 started with S8 Elite ... forced DME to trade out for S8 Vantage by September 2006.

In December 2006 got Remstar Legacy APAP w/ Cflex.

Sometime in 2007 I got Remstar M seris APAP w/ Aflex ... sometime that same year got Everest travel CPAP w/portable battery pack.

I sold S8 Vantage and Everest CPAP.

I use M series Aflex machine nightly and use Legacy Cflex for travel and backup.

No money to try out more but lucky me I have my therapy tweaked about as good as it will ever get.

I started out with the DME issued Respironics M series Plus which did not support a Smart Card and efficacy data. So last year I purchased the M series Auto with a card reader and software out of my own pocket. It was worth it. Now I have the data to monitor and adjust my therapy as needed. I certainly feel better and am sleeping through the night more often.

I have used four different machines and four different heated humidifiers over a period of 17 years. I still have all those machines and humidifiers and they are all still in good working condition. I haven't slept a night in 17 years without CPAP or xPAP, and unlike many users, I liked using it from the start because I slept and felt so much better.

My sleep study titrated pressure was 10 H20 17 years ago. My S8 AutoSet II 95th centile pressure is now genearlly between 9.6 to 10.6 H20 most nights, so my optimum pressure seems to have changed very little over that relatively long period of time.

Only the one machine, but only been on CPAP for 2+ years, so that's reasonable.

Same initial mask too. No replacement parts, just keeps on going.

My first and only machine is a ResMed S8 Elite ll with H4 Humidifier. I will be able to review my yearly numbers very soon, as I purchased them in January of last year. I use a Mirage full mask but am soon going to try the Swift with the air pillows. I'm glad I was diagnosed with OSA, I know now what I had been missing.

I have two, with one being my "travel unit" and the other my "home unit." They're identical.

Travel can be hard on them, and I didn't want to take the chance that my only machine would be damaged on the road.
