If you go to the site, look for ResMed FF auto machines, you'll see both, and can see why the For Her is supposedly even better.

Thank you all. I have follow up with sleep study today. So you recommend this:

https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... t-humidair

I remember someone saying to get the "for her" unit. Is that option available in the link above, what's the difference?
The For Her unit is functionally identical with the exception of:
  • It's beige with vines instead of black
  • It has an extra optional algorithm that the regular AutoSet does not have
  • Chicks dig guys who use the AutoSet for Her

What ARE you talking about? what is a "FF auto mask"?

To the person asking about *MACHINES*... ignore Julie's answer and listen to DogSlobber's answer.

Your note made no sense, that's the point.

Someone asks about a *machine type* and you come back with something about "auto masks".

So, after doubling down on your mistake, instead of saying 'oops' and correcting it, your response is to cast aspersions?

Nicely done.

First, I try very hard to *not* confuse people by making nonsensical commentary after not bothering to carefully read the question, and secondly, when I *do* make a mistake, I correct it. (part of that "trying hard not to spout confusing or nonsensical comments in my hurry to make a post.)

PS, your edited comment still says "FF auto"... "Full Face Auto"?
