point of order, there's no such thing as a 's10' unless you're talking a small chevy pickup.

there are airsense 10 and aircurve 10 machines, as10 ac10...

and, there are as10, and even ac10 machines that can be had at a bargain
I stand corrected. If you google S10 Resmed you will see there are some vendors and articles that refer to it as s10 and I saw it so much I thought it was part of the name, but it looks like not according to Resmed and not in the forum so I will change my erroneous ways starting with correcting the post.

I have seen some of bargains but they are not within my grasp yet. I was surprised at how close some are, though
I only nitpick about things like that because I've seen more than a few people end up with the wrong thing because they were calling something by the wrong name, and someone guessed what they meant, and confusion and disappointment resulted... see people wanting a 'resmed auto' and ending up with the near useless s9 escape auto, instead of an s9 autoset. etc.
I thank you for that! My recent search starting from scratch was rife with confusion. Even sites/blogs/discussions that were set up to teach how to identify machines contained confusing and contradictory information. For some of us shopping is done by analyzing blurry pictures published by sellers who have no idea what they are selling and we need accurate info to sort through it all.

Everything published as information should be subject to scrutiny and all such errors should be pointed out and corrected. There are no are no official editors any more and since the shift of information moving to the internet people tend to just be too nice.

Cheers,
Paul

more than just some of us

the best proven method is to ask the seller for the REF number off the label, and compare it to a chart...

krelvin is working up a web page search based on information grayghost4 and I supplied him, and adding his own I'm sure. if his previous work is any indication, it's doing to be quite neat, and handy.
