Suggested replacement APAPs for Philips Dreamstation?

Post by wannasmile » Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:27 pm

I've been using the Philips Dreamstation APAP for quite a few years now.
Due to the recall, I want to find something to replace it with, preferably a different brand.
The Dreamstation is my first and only sleep apnea treatment device, so I have no experience with other brands or models.
Does anyone here have any APAP brand and model suggestions that might not be too jarring of a switch over from my Dreamstation?
With humidifier, and ideally with heated tubing option.
Oh, also, are most PAP hoses "standard" ? that is, could. I use any mask I want with any brand of machine?
Thanks a lot

Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset, or S9 Autoset, superior in every way.

Yes, the ends of the hoses that fit the mask are all the same.

i second the suggestions from palerider and yes, mask and hose will work.

you may be pleasantly surprised by the resmed line of machines. i have used both and overall, i prefer resmed over philips.

good luck!
