are newer xpaps more reliable or less so

Yours is going to be a bad machine. It will be unreliable and inaccurate with treatment. It will break frequently. It will have a short life. You will continue to come here regularly complaining.

+1...He's already anticipating problems.

It doesn't take a "Expert Engineer", to answer that one! But one will tell us, Over, and Over! It's not a "Tank", probably a Pinto with a X Box in the back seat. Jim

His libtard doctor prescribed a libtard machine which was supplied by his libtard DME and paid for by his libtard insurance company. He will have trouble installing libtard Sleepyhead and downloading the libtard SD card. He will complain about the libtard copay.

I don't like the pressure going to 25cm, I'm going to turn it down so it can't go past 10cm....there.. Fixed by an expert engineer ..

who cares. what are you going to do, buy a machine from 1995 just because it was made with more care?

Got mine in 2005, "Tanks", so good I bought two more, still using the first one nightly. Basic Leaf Blower, full data, made in the U.S.A. Will still be working after they fill up the landfills and build your new house on it!

BTW: Only tracks AHI, Snores And leaks, don't have to worry about anything else that doesn't matter. Just good sleep and treatment..... Jim

Everyone has a story like that regarding one product or another. Made in the USA probably used to mean something...

So nice to come here to check out the latest, highly informative posts. Kind of like paying a visit to the day room at a mental institution.

So many here take themselves way too serious. For me it is FREE Entertainment, in its purest form.

Exactly, where else would you find a guest that has posted under 38 different names ? Takes "split personality" to a whole new level.

I won't chime in to some of the previous back and fourth on this subject.

Instead I will say this. The newer machines are smaller, quieter, more precise, and have a variety of features that were not available on older machines. For the most part, they are reliable. Typically, they should be replaced in five years.

The older ones are sometimes real workhorses and will do what they always did for twenty years or more. For instance, last year my six year-old machine broke, and I had to revert to me eleven-year old machine until the new one came.

The eleven-year old machine is excellent, but it is very large, has no leak compensation, has only manual altitude adjustment, and keeps no stats except blower hours. It is not as quiet as my new one (though I can't say it's "noisy"), nor is it as precise (though it's reasonably accurate). It also does not have exhalation relief, but I can't stand that anyhow. It can only be activated and deactivated with the switch, but I am not bothered by that.

Some folks like the old stuff, each for their own reasons.
I like new, shiny things, with cool features, but that is just me.
I grew up surrounded by old, ugly crap, and it impacted my taste.

38 different names??? I hope the 39th name he comes up with is something like... 'Human Being'.
