Have you ever bought any equipment, machine, masks or replacements, from china?

Hi, guys!

See, I noticed here in Brazil the suppliers sell masks from BMC and machines from other chinese manufacturers. So, it got me wandering, have you ever got anything cpap related from china? Also, are the chinese brands good?

Just curious why you would think of 'going there', unless they had stuff you knew was good but a lot cheaper than buying locally and were sure of a refund if it came to that.

Well, I think about it because some brands sell locally here in Brazil. To be honest the masks really catch my eye, because the price is way better. Everything cpap related here is really expensive.

Why don't you post links to the masks that you are referring to. General statements about Chinese masks are usually not helpful.

This one. Actually every one of those different masks look like this, so I brought this link so you can check. Also, BMC is supplied locally here in Brazil.

But to be clear, I want opinions to avoid spending a lot of cash for nothing.

It should be OK. It gets 4.2 of 5 stars from 130 ratings. Read some of the reviews. Do be aware that the best products on the planet get some negative reviews. https://www.google.com/search?q=bmc+nas ... e&ie=UTF-8 (Hope that link takes you to the reviews and rating.)

Is it this machine - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... t-humidair ?

Make sure it's the AutoSet model. I have that machine and it and the 11 are the only machines I would recommend!

Let us know how things work out for you. Don't forget OSCAR!

Yes that's the machine, thanks for the help!

By the way, what is OSCAR? Newbie, here!

Check near the top of the index page. You can start a thread and get help with any questions.

I see, thanks! I'll post when I buy the machine.

Accept nothing less than an AUTOSET
There are other, lesser models--STAY AWAY from them.
