My two cents? Buy the cheaper choice between a Resmed S9 AutoSet or PR System One Series 60 Auto CPAP. Make sure you get the heated humidifier. And it may be worth starting out with a heated hose. You can always turn the heat off or go back to a (cheaper) unheated hose if you don't like the heated hose.

But between these two machines, I'd shop solely by price. Buy whichever of them gives you the cheapest total OOP cost.

If you really want to agonize about making decision based on something other than price, you can read my post at viewtopic/t94287/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=82 ... 5&#p866535 that is part of a thread called ResMed S9 AutoSet vs. Respironics PR System One REMStar 60 S. In that post I discussed every thing I could think of about the pros and cons of each of these two machines.
