Upgrading my cpap machine

Post by Gianniny » Mon Nov 10, 2014 9:15 pm

Is there any real benefit in going from an S9 to an AirSense cpap machine?

It depends. If you already have a functioning S9, I would say no.

If you are going to buy a new machine and choosing between the 2 to replace an S8 or M series, I would go for the A10.

My S9 was getting somewhat wacky about reporting data and running quietly after over 10,000 hours.
Plus, I was feeling a bit paranoid about Medicare, competitive bidding, and shifty people who have too much control over things that affect me.
