Insist on actually seeing the run hours.
Here's a conversation I had with somebody selling a
Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset for Her on Letgo.com.
He lost his crap when I asked about the run hours, he then then blocked me.

JEEEEE-pers! no, nothing to hide there.
I know, what an ass he is.
It's still for sale. I feel like creating a second LetGo account with a temp email. Then make arrangements to meet him, and not show up. See how long I can string him a long.

The hoses act a lot like the finger handcuffs we played with as a kid, don't pull hard on the connection, wiggle it side to side while pulling. I get new hoses for the XPAP, if you plan on reusing the short small hose just clean it if you want. Jim
Thanks Jim.
I wiggled and I pulled but those hose were just fused together. Almost like they were baked? I'm suspecting maybe they were thrown in to a dishwasher.
I never planned on reusing the hoses but I wanted to try the mask for a lark particularly because it has two sets of pillows that are sealed and new. I had to slip a knife in ... (which was difficult they were so fused) ... and cut the hose off the mask.
I actually still haven't tried the mask or the machine. I turned it on and it blew but I haven't decontaminated and cleaned it yet.
I hope I am never handcuffed by the Chinese. If so I'd have little hope of escaping.

Might try heating the hose connection with a hair dryer, or become a Surgeon on the rubber connector. Jim

Anyway ... I doubt I'll reuse these hoses but I'm baffled that I can't get them to come apart of come off the mask? At the connection between the hoses is a completely clear connector but I don't know if it's a separate piece or part of one of the two hoses? It makes that connection totally swivel between the two hoses.
*ALL* the hoses end in a soft rubbery end, if there's any hard plastic in that, it's part of a mask, and must be removed before you put a different mask on the hose.
