<span class="highlight">CPAP</span> machines

Thanks Val I was putting in ""12V cpap machine" and was coming up with nothing then I put in what you said and yes 20 posts to look at. Thankyou very much for that much appreciated..Cheers

Hi Ken, I dont use the dehumidifier at the moment, it has one attached but I have it turned off. Its only a trial machine at the moment and I need to actually purchase one but want one obviously for home and when camping. The one I have is a Phillips 2 grands worth but just checked on one of the website that was mentioned from the search on this site and there was one which was only $600 plus the dehumidifier not sure how much that is extra but reckon I would need it in winter time. Im currently on a diet and trying to drop my weight write down and see if it has any affect on the breathing/snooring at night. Only got really bad since I have put on additional 7kg on top of my over weight already. Put on the extra 7 kg since I stopped smoking last June so now is the time to pull my finger out and lose the weight as well....Will see what the power usage is on a few of them. I dont want some cheap noisy crappy thing I want some thing that is going to last. The one Im using at the moment ramps up and down (if thats the correct term) and adjusts itself to my breathing as well. My oxygen satuartion was under 50% (very bad apparently) Will post the results of the trial when I get home dont remember them exactly.Cheers Steve

Hi Glen

If you use the "search" function on the forum you will also get some results for resmed :)

The search function in the forum should be every users first port of call – lots of subjects have been covered before. Things change and people have different requirements etc. so no guarantee of success of course but you may find the answer you seek. This was all that was being suggested by J&V. Your advice to use Google (a "search" also I would have thought :) is also good advice though you can get overwhelmed by the information available. One good thing about the forum - more specific "real" information related to outdoors in Oz.

Cheers

I havnt bought one as of yet im only hiring it. To purchase the same one that I am hiring is just under 2g, I just saw a resmed which is made by Phillips anyway, was on google which was $600 + extra for the dehumidifier so not sure what the total cost would be, this is the link that I found this is the one Im currently using

Am I reading the chart wrong, 7 hours or 20 depending on model ?? $600 and only get 7 hours from it, better of buying a jumper start for 1/2 the cost and last longer or a 100amp hour duel batt ?? ............
