Buying a new machine. Blower hours/run hours?

Post by sleepinow » Sat Aug 13, 2022 5:29 am

Hello,

I am buying a used resmed machine and it has around 2,000 run hours. Is that what I should be looking at to determine how much the machine has been used?

I don't want to get fooled and purchase one with 15,000 blower hours but only 2,000 run hours since this is off facebook marketplace

On ResMeds, the Run Hours value (available in the About menu item) represents the total hours the machine has been used (blower hours).

The Used Hours is the resettable value representing time used in a selectable time frame. It's of no value when purchasing a machine.
