ResMed AirSense 10 & AirCurve 10 - S, What are the Main Differences?

The Räson for this Thread, I am still trying decide between the ResMed VPAP AutoSer s9 and the AirCurve 10 -S that https://wwww.wardmedicalservices.com, Recommended for Me. I may get the s9, for the lower price, that’s why I have it in My Profile. Still shopping for a VPAP.

The 10 S is a fixed bi-level device where you set an IPAP and EPAP. It doesn't adjust at all.

The S9 VPAP Auto and AirCurve 10 VAuto are auto-adjusting bi-levels. They can run fixed S mode as well. They operate the same. The S9 would be cheaper, but likely comes with more hours used. The VAuto also has a front-facing LCD screen which is a nice feature to have.

Peace

FWIW this place is really tough.

You think it's tough now. You shouldn't seen the place a while ago when a bunch of SJWs thought they were running the place. Using their freedom of speech to bully others and shutdown their freedom to say anything.

That’s a shame.

IMO a place like this should be a welcome place for all.

Back to the topic at hand please.
Not a discussion of what this forum should or shouldn't be doing. We've beat that dead horse to death so many times I lost count and nothing has changed nor do I expect it to.
This thread has been derailed enough.

As others have noted, the S9 Vauto and the Aircurve 10 Vauto are the two machines you would need to compare. These are both full data, auto, and bi-level (the Aircurve 10 S is full data and bi-level but not auto). I have owned both Vautos. It is worth noting that the heated hose and humidifier tank are not interchangeable between the two models.

Both are fine machines delivering effective treatment. Both can be found used at a fair price (I paid about $550 for a used Aircurve Vauto -- a new one is about triple that). There are some differences between the two Vautos but none that I considered deal breakers. At the same price point, I would pick the Aircurve.

There are some differences I have noticed between versions but no show stoppers.

In one of Warren's earlier posts he let us know that he has cerebral palsy. I believe that he is communicating extremely well for one with that affliction. My cousin Max had cerebral palsy and communicating with him was challenging. I miss my cousin Max and I ask that we give Warren the benefit of doubt as he tries to communicate with us. In that same post he asked specifically for no pity, but we could surely lighten up on him some considering this.

Thanks for reading.

thanks for posting this. i blocked him early on and never saw where he shared that.

Zonker, if You take Me OFF Your FOE List, You could probably can find this Post, I believe it is in One Of the Threads i’ Created. It’s Ok, You Can’t read My Posts anymore.

Fair enough. Max passed over 40 years ago. I haven't known anyone else with it since then. Apparently medical technology has advanced greatly for those who suffer form it (a goog thing).

I also just got back from a family reunion, so I was thinking about family members who are no longer around. My emotions are a little high right now.

Very understandable.

My friend had mobility issues, and typing was a chore for her, so she wasn't *fast* at it, but she was extremely competent at her job. The company we worked for had some outside consulting company come in that did a survey of all the ways that employees actually got information, when the report came out, Robin was the largest circle with the most information flows of anybody in the division.

Everybody came to her, and unlike many network people I've worked with in the past, anytime I said "Hey, Robin... I'm having a problem with xxx" she'd jump on it and make absolutely sure there was nothing she could do in her sphere of influence to help remedy the problem before she'd come back with "I can't find anything wrong on my end"... most network people I've worked with before would just say "not us", and I'd have to work to prove it was a problem on their end.

I really miss working with her, and she became a good friend over time.

Beautiful!!! Guitarist

The 2 Threads , That i’ve Created, that Compared the Differences between: Respironics and ResMed:

” Which XPAP Brand is the Reliable With Most Features For Your Buck: ResMed or Respironics?!? “ — Dated: Mon., July 15, 2019, 6:07 PM . The CP comment was made on July 16Th, around 8:36 AM, During the Data Retrieval and needing help with My old M-Series Machine, due to a bad hand, while being set up the First time.

” A REMstar PLUS Lasts 11 Years “: Posted: 2/20/2013; 7:20:00 PM ANDREW SENKE — Dated: Su., Aug., 04, 2019, 8:48 AM This Thread got LOCKED due to Idotic things said By all of Us, including Me.

The reasons for these Thread were to help Me decide on one of the 2 Brands I have chosen.

Interesting, but to help you decide, look at the responses to your posts...every one is a ResMed user as are about 60-70% of the active members on this board.

Your posts still make it difficult to understand.

For example, your subject line asks for a comparison of Airsense 10 (no model stated) vs the Aircuve 10-S. (Way too vague of a question). But the decision you are trying to make is between an S9 VAuto and an Aircurve 10-S. It seems like you asked the wrong question. And the subject line still has the orignal question.

And then you keep adding a bunch of info we don't need that makes it much harder to follow what you are asking. Look at this comparison:

This is your post:

This is what you meant to say:

I was offered an Aircurve 10-S for $1750 (4 monthly installments of $437.50) or a brand new S9 VAuto for $750.

I *think* you are asking for our opinions on the two machines, but you really didn't ask that.

When you post about machines, we really don't know need to know who is selling it, where they are located, when it was discontinued, etc. We don't need a direct quote of all the details from their listing. It puts a whole bunch of unnecessary text in there that makes it difficult to read. And then we don't even find an actual question.

It is really hard to help you when we have to wade through stuff to figure out what you want.
