How hygienic is a used machine?
Doesn't matter.

I know the hose/mask can be replaced but is there any part of the machine that could be like mold/dirt areas you would need to look at?
No

What about the hose connection area doesn’t that go to where people breathe and everything?
No

To me buying a used machine just doesn’t seem like it would be healthy/clean…?
You're, quite simply, wrong.

I did not mean it that way….just was wondering because I see a lot of people buy used machines. To me it would be like buying used clothing or etc. which is fine you just have to know what to look for. That’s why I asked in case I ever need to.
Never been to a second hand store/Goodwill then, have you?

you should get a backup if you’re able.
The advice given here was that plus get the same machine you’re using now so parts are interchangeable.
plastic surfaces can be cleaned easily and mine has new hose and water chamber.
Beware the schoolyard bullies, mean girls, and fragile male egos. Move along if you can’t be kind.
