It does not look neat to me!

It looks terribly uncomfortable. And only $169 and $40-60 shipping?

Interesting device. I am not sure I would like something in my mouth but it is worth checking out sometime in the future.
I also noticed that they want information on you before they will accept your order and a licensed physician will Rx it for you. Rx for a mask? Sounds like a new marketing information gathering technique. Thanks for sharing this.

I think PT Barnum had something to say about the market for this device.

This device comes up every couple of months in ALL forums.

I have yet to hear of an authenticated GOOD experience with it.

On the other hand, considering the differences between people, there must be someONE that this interface actually works for.

Comment from an ex-Oracle user, wouldn't even consider it. To have to involve your mouth into this equation by placing something in it all night, which does cause increased saliva production (trust me) and other side effects, is something I only would do to stop mouth breathing. And I cannot believe, even with a boil and bite mouthpiece, this device would stay in place with the weight of the nosepiece pushing down if one were to open their mouth during sleep. I ordered the Dr. Sue device which is similar to a boil and bite mouthpiece, and even that, in less than one month's use, doesn't stay in place like it used to and has no weight of anything attached to it to dislodge it. Have gone back to Tegaderm patches instead for now. If you can keep your mouth out of it, I would.

And like R&R said, look at the price for this modern marvel!!! $40-60 for s/h? How much does it weigh???
