What makes anyone think that krp is anything more than a shill for a certain non-medical device maker?

It did cross my mind but without proof or some other actionable something (like a link or whatever) I couldn't do anything about it.

Trust me... I really wanted to NOT start this whole mess up again so soon after the last one.

I asked myself "what would Carolyn do" and I already know the answer...she even allows real known spam for educational value.
So I couldn't remove it without a really good reason and "maybe a shill" is not a good reason.....no matter how much I might want it to be.

That's why I went out for popcorn. :lol: I was getting ready for the show but hoping my comments would maybe let it be a short show and not a 5 page show.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

I found that Philips Respirontics allows weekly cleaning the non fabric parts of the Dreamwear mask(s) in the dishwasher top rack with the drying cycle off. I also clean the Airsense 10 water chamber that way.
Do other manufacturers allow dishwashers?
Only the dishwasher safe AirSense 10 humidifier can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The normal one is not supposed to be cleaned in there.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't know there was such a difference and both my water chambers say Humidair S which is the non dishwasher safe version. I only recently dishwashed my spare and haven't used that one since so I'm not going to die. :D
Thanks for the correction. I think I got that idea from a youtube but can't find it now.
My signature says I'm clueless so I appreciate the vets straightening me out.

I'm a shill for CPAP.
Does that pay well?

I have both ResMed water chambers...the official dishwasher safe version and the non dishwasher safe version.
I am unsure as to the exact difference but I suspect it has to do with water and maybe dryer temps. One probably stands less chance of melting but I think the non official chamber might still hold up well as long as the temps didn't get horribly high.
I would be extra careful with the AirSense chambers...the seal seems to be a bit delicate. I dropped one and while the chamber didn't break...the seal did and it leaked and I tried to repair it but just finally gave up.

Unfortunately I can't test my theory....in this old house...no automatic dishwasher....no room in the postage stamp sized kitchen.
I keep looking for the space for a dishwasher and a 36 inch stove instead of a 24 inch and I can't find it yet.

Thanks everyone for your input. Sorry I'm new to this Blog, but after reading through some of your responses, I'm not sure I'll stay a member.

So far, I believe there is little to no chance of its ever constituting a violation of my vow of poverty .

Man I wish somebody had told me that years ago. I've been wondering why all you people keep making these posts here all over my blog.
