Mirage Vista -- Need I Say More...

Post by Sleeping With The Enemy » Fri Feb 25, 2005 12:03 am

I have tried this mask twice and both times it leaks something terrible. I used the standard size and it leaks like a sieve between the eyes.

Has anyone had any luck with this mask? Maybe Resmed needs to recall this one!!!

ResMed's Vista didn't work for me either - same reason - leaked up toward the eyes. It's the only ResMed mask I ever tried that wasn't good or excellent. For glasses wearers, their Swift is the cat's pajamas. Of course the Swift has its own set of minor problems (every mask does), but at least blowing air into the eyes isn't one of them.

I think we better call Resmed and tell them to bring this one back to the drawing board!!!

I have the Mirage Vista and find it very comfortable. I can't compare it with anything else cos it's the only one I've used, but it works for me.

We should have to post a picture of ourselves whenever we talk about a mask so others can get a better idea of what the problem might be .

Like No S%$# Sherlock . With a snoz like that no wonder it leaks. Or, With a face that ugly can you blame the mask for not wanting to stay put. LOL

On second thought, lets not, just leave it up to our imagination.

Cheers,

Chris

Chris, if all us guys took pics with our masks on, we would be inundated with all the women, as Liam said, "Chicks dig them"

Ditto on that. I bought one with a new machine a couple of weeks ago and I just can't get a good fit. I had such good luck with my first mask, a Comfort Select that I guess I figured I have a pretty "average" and easy to fit schnoz. If any of you that are enjoying a good fit want a raging deal on a spare, this one has never been slept in, still has the tag on the headgear. Just pm me if you're interested.

I experimented for hours and hours (using all the different adjustments) and could not get it to seal at all. It is a total piece of crap. I may as well have flushed $100 down the toilet!
