Best plan of attack is to do homework and read!

If you will spend a couple of hours reading pasts posts about machines, masks you will get the drift of what is going to happen. You are just starting a long journey that will last the rest of your life and there is nothing like an education.

Good Luck

Look up the following machines. Puritan bennett GK420E,
Resmed Spirit, Respironics Remstar auto with c-flex.

They can be found at https://www.cpap.com

There are others but these are the more popular auto models.

Cheers,
