Mine only took about a month but I think there is an extreme shortage of the newer machines. For what it is worth I read up quite a bit on the recall and it is fibers from degradation of the sound insulation. It feels to me that this was happening to machines that were cleaned using an ozone sanitizer. I never used anything like that and had no signs of any dust or fibers from my old machine. What the hell Phillips sent me a new machine and I got my 5 year replacement as a ResMed machine, so now I have 2 to chose from. I hope you get your DreamStation 2 soon. It’s a nice machine but the touch screen locks every once in a while requiring a restart.
I like the dreamstation. I did notice that my chest got a little heavy for the short time I was using it.
I’m currently running my 5 year old IKON.
Nice machine, very quiet, but it is old..
I’m still using my Dream Station, waiting on the recall.
I use inline filters, I think Philips recommends them. They’re just a little “flying saucer” that goes between the machine and hose. Or mask and hose if you’re using a heated hose.
I get the filters on Amazon at about $3 to $4 each. Each lasts a month or more for me. After looking at the used filters I’ll probably keep using them even after the new machine gets here.
