It is not a heated hose slimline.
I'm wanting to know if anyone has used both, and has noticed a difference.
I linked you back because the answer to your question is there.

the *ONLY* advantage to a slimline hose is that it's LIGHTER.

if you have a bipap with high pressures, you shouldn't use one because it creates too much flow restriction, which is why resmed sells a larger heated hose, not just the original slimline heated hose.

for normal users, there's no difference in the received treatment, as long as you have your machine set up properly (having selected the right tube size).

Thanks! Just curious if there was any *perceived* difference by people who have used both.
