Old equipment

I have two old Cpap machines, what do you do with them?

Hello, Swillis, do they still work? If so, I would save the one with the fewest hours on it to use as a backup machine -- you never know when you might need one. I would just pitch the other one in the trash.

Personally, I would stop buying unnecessary new machines, however having 3 working units isn't overkill.
I have 3 2005 Remstar "Tanks", all still working fine, no need to fill in a Landfill, just tp make more profit for the manufacture, while they pump out new machines that aren't as well made. Jim

Keep the best one for a backup, or parts, if applicable, and if you know a curious kid with tools--let them at it.
If the kid is especially "curious" (destructive), get the process on video.
Upload to the internet--fans will be both the curious and the frustrated.
And he/she might actually make some money.
Tuition towards that engineering degree . . .

My DME gives donated CPAP's to people that need one and can't afford one. Call the DME's in your area and find one that does this.

What specific brands and models do you have?
When did you acquire them?
How many hours do they have on them? (User hours and Run hours or Blower hours......depending on which make/models)
If they're still in running condition.......keep them for spares.......or offer them on the forum.

Yes, donation is the best course of action.
But I was hoping to see a video of one being DESTROYED.
