Question For C-Pap Users

[gab13by13]

First of all, I am not endorsing any product, but my 5 years are up and I am getting a new machine.

I am looking at the ResMed Air Sense 11 and my only question is to people who have one, do you like it, are there any problems? It is a 5 year investment is why I am asking. I am sure that other brands are just as good, maybe better.

1. I have one

I like it a lot. Much better than my Philips one.

2. Love it

I had one (but no longer needed it) and loved it, and my husband still has his. Very quiet and reliable, and the phone app worked like a champ. If I ever need one again, it'd be very high on my list.

3. Mine's almost 3 years old

Third machine I've had, far and away the best. Quiet, compact. Have had zero problems with it.

4. I've had the same Resmed

machine for about 15-20 years.

6. Me too. It will be 17 years in December.

5. If you travel, consider a ResMed Air Mini

I just got my second one, and I love it. Even though I travel less, I use it at home too and enjoy its small size and lack of humidifier tank. (It uses humidifier “disks” which are an additional monthly expense)

7. The regular size isn't that big

it packs up pretty neatly and is no issue getting through airports. It is considered a carry on.

8. The pressure seems to get out of control on mine

So I wake up in the middle of the night with air blowing out from the edges of the mask.
I was told to just restart it. This has been going on since the beginning.

9. My doctor preset my air pressure

to keep it constant, no ramping up.

10. My doctor is for shit. But that's another story.

11. I've had a ResMed Sense 10 since March and love it.

Far better machine than my old Phillips Respironics, IMO. It's more intuitive and has a few more features too. Smaller tank though.

Currently, I'm using a loaner because the control knob just out of the blue, froze up — no bumps, drops, nothing spilled on it. Feels like a mechanical failure to me and the provider says they've never seen that before. Still, I'd never go back to a Phillips, especially after all the recalls/lawsuits.

I think the newer Sense11 model has more digital/display features than the 10, not sure.

12. I have an AirSense10

I've had it almost 3 years. I'll usually get something new with every 5 year sleep study. It won't be a Phillips.

My only complaint is that the water tank is only good for two days. It's been reliable with no problems.

I switched to nasal pillows with it and those are great!

13. I have a ResMed AirCurve 10 because I need a Bi-Pap machine VA gave it to me to replace the Philips recalled one.

I am satisfied with it. All my previous machines were Philips (started on CPAP November 2005). It has a monthly-replaceable single filter.

It works fine but I can no longer stand the pillow mask all night so I sleep without it in early morning. I do use it at least 4 hrs/night to qualify as meeting the requirements. The mask is the same type as I used with the Philips for years. However, last year, I got a skin nerve disease where one's whole body hurts to be touched even by clothing, shower water, a pat on the arm or anything else. Prior to the disease, I slept on my back rather than my side due to my military-caused disability and the fact that the mask did not result in being pushed to the side by a pillow. The disease is under control now but I still can't stand it all night. Prior to the skin disease, I slept like a log all night. But this issue has nothing to do with the machine.

14. I've had a ResMed CPAP for years,

Np problems at all.
