there aren't, but there are three different S9 machines with "auto" on top. only one of the three is an autoset (that would be the 'good' one mentioned above).
You have confused me, I may be a bit out of date but I am (or was ) aware of the difference with regards to Autoset, Escape or Elite with the Resmed brand. But are there now three different machines with "auto" on top?
well, not anymore, since the air10 doesn't have an escape auto, but back in the s9 days:
36001 S9 "Escape" (CPAP Only no data)
36002 S9 "Escape
Auto" (No data apap mode)
36003 S9 "Elite" (cpap only)
36004 S9 "VPAP S"
36005 S9 "
AutoSet" (advanced autoset mode)
36006 S9 "VPAP
Auto"
36007 S9 "VPAP Adapt" (older)
36008 S9 "VPAP ST" (older)
36009 S9 "VPAP ST-A" (older)
36034 S9 "VPAP COPD"
36037 S9 "VPAP Adapt"
36038 S9 "VPAP ST"
36039 S9 "VPAP ST-A"
36048 S9 "Lumis Tx"
36050 S9 "VPAP Tx"
36065 S9 "
AutoSet" 'for her' Pink
of course, the pink one didn't really count, and most people would say "hey, that darn thing's pink!"
escape auto: crap, autoset: good, vpap auto: great. more than a few people got screwed by DMEs when they went in demanding a resmed "auto" and had an escape auto foisted off on them.
the above list is also why I'm left shaking my head when someone says that they got a 'res med 9' ..... yeah, uh,
WHICH?
Great clarification. If you did happen to come by a pink one you could buy a Dallas cowboys cover from the skinit website to cover up your embarrassment

Nah ! Dallas would cause
choking !

I will withdraw my offer.
I'd wait around. I picked up a new Airsense 10 autoset w/mask, case, climate hose etc. for $250 on craigslist. I had to check it for a month or so. They do pop-up and unless you really need one now it's better to wait for a good deal.

Resmed S9 Auto, with humidifier and long hose and carry case. 2,300 run hrs., Non smoking, non pet home. Was listed At $500, but I offered $200 and they said ok.
We are meeting in a few days so I can see the machine and test it out at a public building.
Is there anything specific I should look for? Is that an OK amount of run hours. I am looking for a machine to leave at my Dad's home as I have to fly to get there.
I'm sorry.. I'm not intending to throw a turd in your punch bowl but did you see this?

Just some stuff to consider
The so called "researchers" have no affiliation with the American Sleep Apnea Association.
And when you go for a sleep study or titration, you use someone else's machine.
Just some stuff to consider also

I almost bought a pink autoset when I was looking to upgrade from my elite, but I waffled too long, and someone else got it. I'm not scared of pink, in any event
but, for what it's worth, this is my vpap auto:
Some blue LED light strips on the bottom or back would complete the look of this blinged up machine. Or pink LEDs would work too

haven't you read the research? blue light is contraindicated for good sleep. pink should be ok though.

Blue also imparts a definite corpse-like hue on human skin. Not a particularly desirable look ! ( IMO ) Lots of vintage audio gear nuts change their gear's displays to blue or amber colored LEDS. If it ain't broke.... I very seldom "fix it" .

I was not suggesting that the light be on during sleep, no research required

Got myself a dandy newish machine off Craigslist. Thanks for all the advise. Got a Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset. 40 Run hours. The lady had only used it 5 nights and gave up. I actually tried to talk her into keeping it and trying to use it. But she was just not going to give it another chance. She had it listed for $250.
