Who is using the oldest CPAP on this forum?

[D.H.]

Of course, I can look up the oldest one made that was for the general public. However, I would like to know what is oldest one that anybody still uses.

[Goofproof]

Mines pretty old, it doesn't use any electric, it's got a hand crank that spins the fan. Jim

I don't know about the oldest, but this $18,000 set up for sleep studies would be interesting if I could get the price to $125..

With or without data capability?

Yes. There really were no data capabilities on the older machines.

I used my Solo LX by Respironics for 16 years but have not used it since June as it started sounding like a weed wacker, although it still works but is really loud. Loud enough to hear with earplugs.

Ok, so far that's the oldest. Since you used it this calendar year, it counts. You broke my record for using an 11-year old F&P HC-233 earlier this year when my 7-year old Aeio-Med Everest 3 stopped working. It is still my backup machine.

BTW, what are you using now (please update your equipment in the profile)?

I've used my Respironics resmed series M since 2008

Back when this forum sponsor used to sell used units, I picked up 4 total (after getting frustrated with DME) . Two work fine, one smells of smoke, and the other is intermitant. Of the two that work fine, one is for home, the other for travel

DH, tell us about yourself.
You have so MANY questions--but you offer no explanation of WHY you are so annoyingly CURIOUS.
SPILL, already!

[6PtStar]

Not exactly using but my sleep lab had this one on display at a senior expo. I got to hold the mask up to my face while they turned it on. Really rough and very very noisy. About 30 second after turning it on it threw the belt off the pulley and quit. The big bulb was supposed to soften the air flow but I did not think it did much good.

Just in case you may not have noticed, DH has chosen to ignore all questions and comments made by you and some others.
