Been using one for about 6 years now. I had a Phillips Respironics Dream Station APAP (the A is for Adaptable pressure vs. C for Constant pressure). With the Phillips recall ended up with a new Dream Station 2. I also was granted a new machine by my insurance at 5 years and have a new ResMed APAP. Of the 2 I prefer the Phillips machine since the ResMed like to jack the pressure up too often.
My personal recommendations. Make sure to use only distilled water in the humidifier and get heated tubing. For masks I’ve used full face from the start since I tend to sleep with my mouth open. I used a ResMed Airfit F10 for 5 years. It seals nice but leaves strap marks on your face and isn’t comfortable to lay against. I’ve recently switched to a Phillips Amera View which is a combo nasal pillow and covers your mouth. Much more comfortable but tricky to get placed just right. That said white less tightness and the right positioning it is a dream to sleep with. Also if you wear glasses you can wear with the mask on.
Last word of advice, if you are u comfortable with the mask setup you receive, complain, make sure you have the right sized mask and the right type for your comfort. First mask I got was A medium size and was way to small for my face. The tech never officially sized me, just had me put it on, had a look and left. If I had stuck with the wrong size I would have quit long ago.
I bought one of those about 3 months before the recall.
It sits on a shelf in my bathroom.
I have been using an old machine to get by.
I wonder when I will get a new one.
