Thanks again for the replies. I will PM Grayghost4 and see what he's got. I found one on craigslist "barely used" for $440, might be worth checking out. Either way, I will stick wirbt be AirSense 10 autoset.

Make sure to check the RUN HOURS on any used machine.

How many hours would be considered too many? And how long of a warranty should I be looking for?

LSAT wrote:Airsense 10 is the bottom of the line....You should get the Airsense 10 AUTOSET that Black Spinner recommended. If you would accept a low hour used machine, (with warranty).go to secondwindcpsp.com and look at the model mentioned or an S9 Autoset. You need a machine that will supply data so you can monitor your therapy without running to the doctor often.
I had a friend that had OSA and he said that he could purchase a machine at $700. I wonder if it's a bottom of the barrel cpap machine.
