A five-year old machine is nearly worthless. On top of that, it is probably a brick. No one here would buy a brick for regular use even if it were brand new.
As for your new brick, maybe your insurance company still has it in the rental period and you could return it?? Then go to a FriendlyDME and get a data-capable auto machine. You should call your insurance company now.

I called 3B products and asked them if my machine is is the current model they make. They said that the Luna model of the resmart Auto is newer. But the only thing they added is wifi capabilities.
They also said that the one have. If I use the SD card instead of the icode I get better reports.
I did one with the icode thirty day report and I got reuluts.
Most of them are average. I'm wondering what other machines would give me more.

There are many Philips Respironics and ResMed machines that report full data. They have a good bit of available data on the machine display. They also work with the free SleepyHead software which is what you need to properly manage your therapy.
Look at some of the machines on the forum host's website -
https://www.cpap.com/
Those two companies also make some bricks, so, ask forum members before you get another machine.
