Resmed or Phillips .

Post by Beachwalker » Fri Apr 26, 2019 12:07 pm

I used to have a resmed air sense 10. Got it when it first came out. It finally broke down. . Got a new machine. They gave me Phillips respironics by mistake.
Which one is better in your opinion.
I can return the respironics and get the newest resmed
Thank you in advance.

welcome to the zoo! though i've only been on cpap for close to four years, i've used both and prefer resmed. better response time, in my estimation.

i heartily recommend the one in my sig.

good luck!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

Thank you. Still a zoo......it’s the internet. Probably won’t change. I was here about 6 years ago for sometime. I did learn a lot!
I did recognize pugsy name. Very nice soul. Super nice.

I switched from one to the other - I cannot believe how much better my new one is (ResMed)
Others find they are used to the Respironics algorithm, and changing to ResMed is not pleasant.YMMV.

I posed a similar question a couple months ago. Generally I think you'll find that most people prefer the ResMed. I'd been on a Respironics System One ASV and wanted to try the ResMed to see if it improved my sleep. The numbers were better, but subjectively, I felt much worse, so I swapped it out for the Dreamstation, and have slept OK since. For me personally, the smoother (but less responsive) Respironics is less disruptive.

If using that Respironics for a few nights won't preclude you from swapping it for the ResMed, that seems like a great option. See if it feels better or worse than what you've been used to, and base your decision on that.

Good luck!
