Does anyone here use this hose

Post by kempo » Thu Sep 16, 2010 10:03 am

I bought a used PR One auto for a backup and it came with this hose but it was used and I am not going to use it. I couldn't believe how much lighter and flexible felt compared to a regular hose. Just wondering it it will last as long as a regular hose. The slimline that came with my machine didn't last but two weeks and I'm not going to pay twice the price for that piece of crap.

I'ved used this hos on two machines. There were no problems with it lasting in the slightest bit.

You can always check the reviews of a product over on cpap.com for some validation on user experience with a product.

I have the PR System One Auto and it now comes with this hose.

I have used the Performance white hose for years though. I have 2 and keep one as a spare. I trade off when one is drying after being washed. They are 2 years old (both of the ones I bought before I had this machine). They are excellent, lightweight, long lasting hoses and I highly recommend them. Their light weight means much less tug on the mask when a person moves.

I was glad to get another one with my PR System One when I bough it several months ago. Now I have 3! I think it will last as long (maybe longer) than the "regular" hose.

I don't know if it works with Resmed machines because I use PR machines. I would never use any other hose! I think it is just a great hose.

Thanks for your replies. I figured you would probably give up some strength for being more flexible and a lighter weight. Just wondering if there were any legitimate complaints out there. Like I said the slimLime at 30 bucks a pop is way over priced for a substandard product. I have tape wrapped around the hose-cuff to keep it from coming leaking. What a piece of crap.

Cpap.com's page for this hose says:
Compatible with nearly all CPAP, APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel systems from every manufacturer on the market, Respironics' new Pure White Performance Tubing is 20% lighter and much more flexible than standard tubing.
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.
