Which Machine Do You Have And...

[James @ Intus]

Hi All,

As I'm new and hoping to get to know you a bit better, I thought I'd ask which machines you all use. Short and simple let's see...

Which machine do you use?

Which feature do you like and dislike most?

Which mask is your favourite?

I'm not on CPAP myself, sorry! But I've worked with many types of machines and hundreds of users for years so I do know a thing or two (so I like to believe, anyway )

If U Aint On Cpap Mate How Can You Tell A User If The Products Any Good Then???
Perhaps Ur Mates At Intouch Need To Get Some One Who Has Osa Might Be Better.

PS -wheres joe ?

Hi PIPKIN,

Like most Ferrari salesmen don't own a Ferrari themselves and a microwave saleman doesn't own every type, brand an dmodel of microwave, as someone advising patients on therapy devices, I can offer a balanced view by comparing features and benefits based on the patient's wants and needs. As CPAPs have to comforn to stringent medical standards, all are good by default. Whether or not a particular model with particular features is suitable for someone depends on many factors which we then help them with to decide.

Also, as we have close connections with many CPAP users as well as experienced sleep clinic staff, we are in an excellent position to offer information so people can decide for themselves whether something is good or not. But of course, I agree that first hand experience is invaluable... Hence this forum! It's great that newbies and experienced users alike can share their vast knowledge so ask around and see what others say too.

I'm not sure where Joe is right now but last I heard was he had to sort one or two things out before showing around here again.
