Review of CPAP machines and Masks

Hi,
I am looking for reviews and comparisons of various popular CPAP machines and masks. I hope that you can point me in the right direction. Thanks

I would really appreciate if someone can tell me where to start. I'm lost with the number of different kinds of machines available and just dont knw where to look
Thanks

Go to cpap.com and click on CPAP Machines. You can read reviews for each machine there and the software even allows a comparison of the various PAPs.

Look for a data capable machine. Beyond that they are all pretty much the same. Mask wise, it's whatever works for you. Everyone has a different comfort level and requirements. Cpap.com has reviews of machines and masks. If you have a dme in my experience, they are all kinda brand specific. Like when you go to a restaurant and they only have coke products. that could just be the 3 dmes in my area though. Good luck

Thanks a lot for the replies. I'll check out CPAP.com . Really appreciate it

By "data capable" we mean EFFICACY data. Do not accept a machine without AHI AND leak data. My blog has a list of which machines have EFFICACY data. I do need to update it for two new Philips Respironics machines. I recommend against the IQ model because it acts as an APAP for only 30 days--silly if you later need to test your settings.

So be sure to check for EFFICACY data once you've narrowed down your choice of machines.

Take a look at the education section of our site there are videos on most of the masks and machines. If you have any questions you can also email us at cpaplibrary@gmail.com
