I think I am going to be sick.
Have you ever seen a frog puke?
Google the video.
I have no desire to, thank you. What does this have to do with a possible new line of machines?

EXACTLY!
The very idea makes me sick.

Ah. Yes. They're certainly profitable. My DME tried to sell me one when I called for supplies. Thanks, not really interested. I can buy an awful lot of Dr. Bonner's for $300.

It also wouldn't surprise me to see the Bleep product line be sold to either Resmed or Respironics in the future especially if it gains traction
The thought of this scares me because there have been so many times when a big company has bought a smaller one, then stops making the competing product they bought. I'd hate to see one of the big ones buy Bleep only to stop selling it.

Well, as long as they avoid misrepresentations about pumping toxic gas into ones home (which in turn avoids lawsuits) - I'll be interested to see what they come up with.

A whole lot of investigation is ongoing before I spend a single dime.

I talk back to the Noclean commercials . . .
while reaching for the remote to mute or fast forward through the babble.
I will probably stick with ResMed products--
---unless they manage to shut the patient out of info and control.

Uhm, folks -- if you want to talk about Resmed or Respironics buying the CPAP cleaners, please start a separate thread.

They really don't have much to do with a possible new CPAP/APA/ASV model line for either company.
