I had the same experience! It was like they were trying to explode my lungs with the absurdly high pressure. First I was lent the machine by my provider to try out for a week, smart ramp enabled, and it worked perfectly - zero apnea. But when they gave me the machine after my insurers agreed to pay for it, smart ramp was disabled and the pressure fixed at 13. Loony! This video has allowed me to take control myself! Ten thousand thanks to Nick for this vid!
This video series was so absolutely, amazingly helpful to me. I was basically handed the CPAP, etc. and a booklet then patted on the fanny and wished good luck! No detail from my respiratory therapist nor from my doctor. This is so helpful. Can't wait to check/adjust my settings.

Nothing on the web (including the company's info) comes close to these videos. I will give the URLs to my Dr. &, hopefully, he will pass these on. Thank you again.
Just received a replacement cpap for my Philips recall. I have a Philips system 1. I got a brand new dream station one as a replacement. I just watched your 3 videos which made it really easy to set up. It’s my first auto machine. 1st tonight. Thanks for the help with set up
Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been using the machine for a little over a year. I’m on my fifth CPAP so I’m not new to sleep apnea. Find a new machine very practical in its use and very versatile and its applications. Your videos explain things in very good detail. My medical provider never gave me anything close to this in explanation of what my machine can do. Thank you again for taking time to make these videos I am from United States and I live in Bethlehem Pennsylvania
Hey Mark, glad to hear you enjoyed the videos brother. Appreciate the kind words and glad to help. Great to hear they are reaching across the other side of the world ;-). Hi from me in Melbourne
There is only one advocate for my good health......me! I had made two clinical adjustments to my CPAP, which has truly made it a ‘dream machine’, thanks to you. Thank you for these videos, I have made them part of my “watch later”, so I will always have them to refer to.
CPAP Reviews, I apologize for not giving you all of the credit, for my new found love of the ‘Dream Machine’. We need more clear cut advice, on medical equipment for at home use to make for a better life. Your honesty and medical precautions are essential if the end effect of this kind of home medical equipment is to be successful. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I have had my DreamStation for 3 months, and this was very helpful! I appreciated the information about the R factor, and was able to make the appropriate adjustment, as recently switched to a nasal mask.
Excellent video! I own this and I took the test privately so have zero support from anyone and videos like these make my life so much better as I can adjust and understand my machine way better. Thank you
@@CPAPReviews I don’t have a doctor… I did this privately. I have no help or support except what you guys and another Facebook group gives me. The people I bought from are looking into this
Again- your videos are a life saver. My machine started going to high pressure over the past 4 days, and I have no idea why. I am not sick, haven’t been drinking heavily, and I was struggling to breathe because it was pushing too much air in. This helped SOO MUCH. And when you said, “...you’ll want to throw it through the window...” :D I knew I’d found the right video to fix this machine. Thanks again and again and again.
Hi Shannan, thanks for the kind words! Glad to be of help and yes, we've all wanted to through our machine through a window at one point or another :-). Have a great day Nick
These so called doctors, are going to be a thing of the past here shortly ! All they are concerned with is getting more patients and billing the insurance companies ! They have so many patients, that they cannot or will not take the time to actually set down with you and explain the machines capabilities and the process ! They then hire these younger inexperienced interns to see you on their behalf because they are sooo busy. Now they can bill more insurance companies and make more money ! They say that they are so booked up that you can't get an appointment for 3-6 mos out. This is bullshit ! And why is it when you schedule an appointment to arrive there on time and then you're forced to sit in a waiting room with sick people for two hours waiting to see the Dr. ! Do you all see where this is going ? They don't want you resting well and not scheduling appointments. Instead of your doctor telling you that you can do exercises with your throat and tongue to alleviate the sleep apnea, they sell you an expensive machine, set it up improperly from their office, just to keep you tire, exhausted and returning to see them ! I'm turning off the Bluetooth on my machine ! I no longer want my Dr to be able to change the settings from the comfort of their office ! I will monitor my own perimeters until I get my machine dialed in perfect ! When my hypoxnea level rises from the paltry 2 where it is now back up to 4 I plan on removing the oxygen! Last time I went to my doctor. I told them I was falling asleep during the day. They said it was from oxygen deprivation? It wasn't from oxygen deprivation, it was because of sleep deprivation ! My Dr told me just like all of yours did, don't worry about the settings, we control that here. All at once my machine started getting hot in the humidifier? To the point where it started using more water every night ! I went and looked. Imagine that! The settings have miraculously been changed ? But how could that happen ? Easily done with Bluetooth from their office ! I haven't slept well since before 2020 ! I'm considering a malpractice lawsuit !
Excellent video ! Just got mine 3 days ago , I noticed the pressure ramp up and wake me up so I need a 7 day average and change the settings ! Without going back to the hospital! Great information thanks
Hi Andre, appreciate the kind words mate. Yep i would be looking at your 90th percentile pressure and using that value as good place to set your AUTO MAX level. You can use your average pressure as a bit of a guide to put your AUTO MIN level. I normally the auto min level a couple of levels lower than the average :-). Have a great day
Excellent presentation of a mode that some providers like to hide from their customers. The ability to adjust the CPAP pressure down, even in fixed mode allowed me to actually get a better nights sleep by not being disturbed so much, and my AHI dropped as well. May not work for everyone of course.
Thank you sooooo much. I found all 3 vids exceptionally easy to follow, especially the more complicated No 3 with the extra settings. Your brief explanation of each setting is also great, as no one tells us this stuff. A previous reviewer said you should get some sort of reward/medal.... I totally agree. Thank you again for all the info as it will help me understand my machine better.
THANK YOU for one of the best instructional vids I have watched! It is such a great help and I am now as a new user able to calibrate my Dreamstation perfect to fit my values without having to consult my provider unnecessarily. This video series is also great for reference if I after some time need to do adjustments or read my results!
A big thank you. After several years unsatisfied experience I googled for info. Big difference your awesome. Sad the vendor only interested in sale. Thanks again
OMG- I was given my machine and told "OK your all set" with NO EXPLANATION on how to use it properly or adjust it AT ALL !! This video is a life saver and a game changer.I was having terrible difficulty wearing my CPAP (exact same machine as this video) This video series should be MANDATORY viewing to all users of this machine ! Thank you
Edit: I've lost a lot of weight since I got my Dream Station, and I think that has changed the settings I need. I've been getting a lot of noisy leaks and a strange thing where (with a nose-only mask) the air is forced into my mouth and makes a noise like snoring. My wife was very unhappy. Using this video, I set the auto-max to the 90% level (3 less than it was set on originally) and the problem is solved! Good sleep plus peace and quiet!!!!! Thanks for your brilliant videos!
Hi there, yes the therapy can be very difficult in the beginning but with a little bit of time and effort it will become a lot more enjoyable and comfortable. Glad you found the video helpful. Have a great day. Nick
So, 3 1/2 years ago I was fitted with this machine…kinda…they stuck it on my face and said looks good, off you go! I didn’t know squat about the machine, it’s capabilities or menu. I also found sleeping with it a nightly wrestling match and of no benefit resting or waking refreshed, etc. I felt like CRAP! Then I discovered this video series… Ive adjusted all the necessary settings and am actually looking forward to experiencing some positive results for a change! Thanks for putting to this series together for all the tortured souls out there!
Awesome info, I'll try it after Philips fixes my machine. I always found that when the pressure was higher than 12 I woke up constantly, felt like I was driving with my head out the window! Caused air leak issues as well.
I got one of these to use in a new sleep study. I came without the water tank 🤬🤬 so there's nothing I can about humidity levels and the like, BUT, this video helped me figure out how to adjust the pressure and how to turn off the Opti start. That was a huge source of discomfort last night. Thanks Nicko!
@@CPAPReviewsAt most i would get 2- 4 hours at night before i would "swat it off" my head at night. BUT now after watching your video, I was able to get 7.4 hours last night! Thank again and keep up the good work. It was a game changer.
Getting one of these tomorrow, and am so excited to start my therapy! I already know what my settings are from my old machine, and can't wait for this machine to hopefully improve my sleep.
@@CPAPReviews Got it 3 days ago, and I'm over the moon! It replaced a Respronics System 1, that was on its last leg. While a good unit for its time, the Dream Station blows it out of the water! Thanks to your video, setup was a breeze! My original setup was 14 max pressure, so I set this at 15 max, just to give it a little headroom. I had the min set at 5, but raised it to 6, because it was just too low, and had me feeling a little claustrophobic, but 6 is perfect! Set to auto, it just works! When it comes on, it's so quiet, I thought it wasn't working, LOL! It's so nice to go to sleep, and let this machine just do its magic. 3 nights in, I haven't felt this well rested in years! I got this without a prescription, because I just didn't want the hassle of telling my Dr, going through another *#&@ sleep study, just to have them tell me what machine I'm going to use. I've done a ton of research, and thanks to your informative videos, decided on the Dream Station, and am so glad I did! I've even downloaded the app that goes with this system, and now am more informed than ever before! The insights into my sleep cycles will make tweaking the settings in the future more accurate than a Dr ever will. I might even buy a second one, and store it as a backup, LOL!
Thank goodness I found this. Just unwrapped my new Dreamstation and what a terrific way to learn the basics. These videos will be my "go to" whenever I want to check or reset the settings. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.
I really needed this one. I just got a new CPAP machine which was setup differently from the previous machine. I needed to know how to get into the clinical settings and to turn on auto on and auto off and a few other settings. Much better now. Thanks.
Thanks for putting this on. I have been trying for 7 weeks to get the doctor to authorize my setting change. It was at 14 and I could not breath at that lever.
Glad to hear it brother! There's a great lesson in that. Learn how to take control of your own health and well being. Understand your therapy, how it works and then learn how to operate it and you will never look back. Cheers and best wishes
Ivan, because doctors are so busy, ask the receptionist if you can speak to the nurse. Be patient, it will take some time for them to speak to the doctor and get back to you. The pressure on most machines have to be prescribed, at least at the beginning.
@@CPAPReviews Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Canadian Government website: Recalls and Safety Alerts healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2021/75889r-eng.php
Watching again to get better control of my comfort and hopefully more sleep. My numbers are always good but I feel exhausted and wake up frequently. Pressure and deviated septum. On my 5th mask Style in a year. Thank you!
Great tutorial, thanks so much, it helps understanding what and how to do! Just got my machine after a month on a trial and am going to use it for the first time tonight.
Thanks for your comment. Good luck on your cpap journey :-). Here's another little video for beginners. ruclips.net/video/WupHMMIBN0M/видео.html ruclips.net/video/TK58N4BqxwQ/видео.html
Thanks, this was helpful. When I got this unit the technician set the air pressure to a lower value than I had been using for years, basically making it unusable to me. Now that I know how to adjust it myself I can use it without jumping through the VA hoops.
I just found this video. I have a regular tube with a humidifier, but I am waking up with a dry mouth and throat regardless of how I set the humidifier. After watching this, I am gonna try to go from adaptive to fixed humidity to see if it helps. Thanks so much
Very good info. I was given this CPAP device with only a very brief explanation. Thank you for helping me to understand how it works and how to adjust the settings. Also, I was able to learn about the device at a time that was convenient for me.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It is very helpful. I tend to like to tweak things and this give me enough confidence to begin to mess with the settings on my new DreamStation auto. My starting pressure is way too low (4) and being able to increase the minimum pressure lets me get to proper pressure quicker, which is good.
I can’t thank you enough. I just got this machine and was so overwhelmed with it. Your video helped so much and it just made it easier to understand this amazing Dream Machine.

Hi Rob, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the DS has been recalled. It's not good for your health. Please watch - ruclips.net/video/kFxtA3y1ucQ/видео.html
Thank goodness for this video!!!! (...and the preceding 2 in the series.) I spent ages with my brother helping him with his CPAP machine and was confounded, not only by the ambiguous "explanations" in the manual but also Philips' own videos. Also we couldn't find the trick to altering the machine's more useful settings. My brother is on a pension and can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars just to go back to the damn specialist simply to make slight adjustments to the machine. You are the greatest! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks so much for doing this video, it was so helpful to understand my replacement CPAP Phillps sent me to replace my recalled one. Started with 3 of 3, looking for 1 and 2 of 3 to watch them, thanks again.
I wonder if the recalled ones are safe now. I've been struggling through trying to use an AirSense 10 and it's about to ruin m life. I have a replacement DreamStation and would love to get back in my CPAP-Cadillac and begin sleeping again. Dark circles and bags under my eyes with the new junk is not fun
Awesome video!! Nick was extremely thorough on all settings and reasons for the settings. I'm hoping to see a reduction in my AHI now that I've adjusted my settings according to the video recommendations.
Thanks Nick this was so easy to understand why they can't tell us this , OH! wait a minute they don't want us to know! So they got us under their thumb, I fixed my dreamstation one does not have the foam anymore works great
Thank you so much! I will employ these methods to help sleep better and stop being awakened at night by my machine that is supposed to help me sleep LOL - I appreciate how well you explained -
I've been using my Dream Station for about 5 years. That's long enough that my insurance will pay for a new machine, but there don't seem to be any new machines available. Supplier is telling me that they don't expect to see any new machines until at least late September. (I have registered my machine on the recall website.) But as a practical matter I think that if I've been using the recalled machine for 5 years, another month or two probably isn't going to make much difference. If it's going to poison me, it likely already has.
Thank you so much. In over one year I have never had this explained despite countless complaints to dme and provider. I don’t think they know! I became more and more sleep deprived and did want to thrown machine across room. Finally gave up on it. However, I was just diagnosed with afib so am back on it. I am going to play with these settings as the last two weeks of being back on machine have me super-exhausted again. Of the five masks I have tried, the one that worked the best is Phillips but I can’t find the number. But now I know what to demand that provider explain to me. Thank you.
These videos have made me love my cpap thankyou so easy to follow l was waking up during the night and feeling tired during the day with some adjustments lam doing realky well xx
Wow! What a great and informative Video! I just bought an Auto BiPap Dreamstation 2nd hand, and thought I would need to discuss with my doctor prior to using, but I feel pretty comfortable trying it out right away after watching your 3 part series! Thanks again for being so detailed!
@@CPAPReviews First night set on AutoB defaults had an AHI of 6.8, adjusted the settings last night and down to a 1.9. I feel with a few more tweaks, I can get under 1. Still not certain about where Pressure Support Min and Max should be but I will figure it out! Thanks again. Hope things are well down under!
Thank you. All these parts were very helpful to explain what everything in the settings means / does. The instructions that come with can be a bit vague with explaining.
ANZACs mate but I live in the USA. Brothers in arms till the Blacks play the Wallabies, then we're sworn enemies until after the footy is done, and then we'll sit down as mates and have a beer 👍🏽
Thank you so much for these videos because I have the same machine and I have changed the chamber with the video that you shared a year ago and this video given me the information I was looking for to change my settings and pressure on my machine. 🙏👍
Thanks for all the effort you have put into this series. I watched them all and thumbs upped them as appropriate. The tutorials are far more helpful than the manuals as they are quite comprehensive and easy to understand. Although I'd consider myself reasonably advanced in my knowledge of CPAP machines and technology in general, I did pick up one or two helpful hints so it was time well spent, even for an advanced user. I just upgraded to one of these machines (an auto one) and I am delighted with it. You have helped me tweak it even further for which I am grateful. :-)
nice machine but one thing that know one talks about is closing the door for the reservoir. Do not just snap close the door on the water chamber. It will break after time so just slide open the chamber door and then close it the same way.

There is only one advocate for my good health......me! I had made two clinical adjustments to my CPAP, which has truly made it a ‘dream machine’, thanks to you. Thank you for these videos, I have made them part of my “watch later”, so I will always have them to refer to.
Hi John! Love it mate and so true. Glad i was able to your 'dream machine' and you're very welcome. Cheers mate. Nicko
CPAP Reviews, I apologize for not giving you all of the credit, for my new found love of the ‘Dream Machine’. We need more clear cut advice, on medical equipment for at home use to make for a better life. Your honesty and medical precautions are essential if the end effect of this kind of home medical equipment is to be successful. Thanks again!
The best most detailed explanation of this machines capability. Really comfort and therapy directed. Thank you very much
Thanks John, appreciate the kind words
CPAP Reviews Thanks, much better instruction

@@CPAPReviews I don’t have a doctor… I did this privately. I have no help or support except what you guys and another Facebook group gives me. The people I bought from are looking into this
Again- your videos are a life saver. My machine started going to high pressure over the past 4 days, and I have no idea why. I am not sick, haven’t been drinking heavily, and I was struggling to breathe because it was pushing too much air in. This helped SOO MUCH. And when you said, “...you’ll want to throw it through the window...” :D I knew I’d found the right video to fix this machine. Thanks again and again and again.

How do you not know that your doctor isn't altering the settings to force you to schedule an appointment?
These so called doctors, are going to be a thing of the past here shortly ! All they are concerned with is getting more patients and billing the insurance companies ! They have so many patients, that they cannot or will not take the time to actually set down with you and explain the machines capabilities and the process ! They then hire these younger inexperienced interns to see you on their behalf because they are sooo busy. Now they can bill more insurance companies and make more money ! They say that they are so booked up that you can't get an appointment for 3-6 mos out. This is bullshit ! And why is it when you schedule an appointment to arrive there on time and then you're forced to sit in a waiting room with sick people for two hours waiting to see the Dr. ! Do you all see where this is going ? They don't want you resting well and not scheduling appointments. Instead of your doctor telling you that you can do exercises with your throat and tongue to alleviate the sleep apnea, they sell you an expensive machine, set it up improperly from their office, just to keep you tire, exhausted and returning to see them ! I'm turning off the Bluetooth on my machine ! I no longer want my Dr to be able to change the settings from the comfort of their office ! I will monitor my own perimeters until I get my machine dialed in perfect ! When my hypoxnea level rises from the paltry 2 where it is now back up to 4 I plan on removing the oxygen!
Last time I went to my doctor. I told them I was falling asleep during the day. They said it was from oxygen deprivation? It wasn't from oxygen deprivation, it was because of sleep deprivation ! My Dr told me just like all of yours did, don't worry about the settings, we control that here. All at once my machine started getting hot in the humidifier? To the point where it started using more water every night ! I went and looked. Imagine that! The settings have miraculously been changed ? But how could that happen ? Easily done with Bluetooth from their office ! I haven't slept well since before 2020 ! I'm considering a malpractice lawsuit !
Thank you so much for explaining this! We are getting nowhere with Phillips and you are a blessing from across the pond!
Hi Teri, you're welcome. I'm certainly trying :-). You do know that machine has been recalled yes?? It's not good for your health. Nick
Excellent video ! Just got mine 3 days ago , I noticed the pressure ramp up and wake me up so I need a 7 day average and change the settings ! Without going back to the hospital!
Great information thanks
Hi Andre, appreciate the kind words mate. Yep i would be looking at your 90th percentile pressure and using that value as good place to set your AUTO MAX level. You can use your average pressure as a bit of a guide to put your AUTO MIN level. I normally the auto min level a couple of levels lower than the average :-). Have a great day
Excellent presentation of a mode that some providers like to hide from their customers.
The ability to adjust the CPAP pressure down, even in fixed mode allowed me to actually get a better nights sleep by not being disturbed so much, and my AHI dropped as well. May not work for everyone of course.
Thanks Ray :)

Thank you sooooo much. I found all 3 vids exceptionally easy to follow, especially the more complicated No 3 with the extra settings. Your brief explanation of each setting is also great, as no one tells us this stuff. A previous reviewer said you should get some sort of reward/medal.... I totally agree. Thank you again for all the info as it will help me understand my machine better.
THANK YOU for one of the best instructional vids I have watched! It is such a great help and I am now as a new user able to calibrate my Dreamstation perfect to fit my values without having to consult my provider unnecessarily. This video series is also great for reference if I after some time need to do adjustments or read my results!

OMG- I was given my machine and told "OK your all set" with NO EXPLANATION on how to use it properly or adjust it AT ALL !! This video is a life saver and a game changer.I was having terrible difficulty wearing my CPAP (exact same machine as this video) This video series should be MANDATORY viewing to all users of this machine ! Thank you
Thanks Chris, glad it was of helpful for you
Edit: I've lost a lot of weight since I got my Dream Station, and I think that has changed the settings I need. I've been getting a lot of noisy leaks and a strange thing where (with a nose-only mask) the air is forced into my mouth and makes a noise like snoring. My wife was very unhappy.
Using this video, I set the auto-max to the 90% level (3 less than it was set on originally) and the problem is solved!
Good sleep plus peace and quiet!!!!!
Thanks for your brilliant videos!
Thank you so much. I gave up having a therapist helping. Appreciated very much!

So, 3 1/2 years ago I was fitted with this machine…kinda…they stuck it on my face and said looks good, off you go! I didn’t know squat about the machine, it’s capabilities or menu. I also found sleeping with it a nightly wrestling match and of no benefit resting or waking refreshed, etc. I felt like CRAP! Then I discovered this video series… Ive adjusted all the necessary settings and am actually looking forward to experiencing some positive results for a change! Thanks for putting to this series together for all the tortured souls out there!
Sooo useful Niko, I was being woken up continuously feeling like I was in a hurricane, now I know how to change it... thank you🙏🏽
Nice one Ann, i see you're using a Philips device! Make sure you change brands when you can - ruclips.net/video/j0BnXaruxFU/видео.html . Good luck!
Awesome info, I'll try it after Philips fixes my machine. I always found that when the pressure was higher than 12 I woke up constantly, felt like I was driving with my head out the window! Caused air leak issues as well.
No problem Mike, try and switch companies when you can. Cheers
I got one of these to use in a new sleep study. I came without the water tank 🤬🤬 so there's nothing I can about humidity levels and the like, BUT, this video helped me figure out how to adjust the pressure and how to turn off the Opti start. That was a huge source of discomfort last night. Thanks Nicko!
What a professional presentation. You are a natural presenter. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

@@CPAPReviews WOW! Thanks for the info. Not a word about this in the US. WTF?
I have been Philips web site and my unit is on the recall list. I filled out the paperwork and the reply was "This could take some time"
Getting one of these tomorrow, and am so excited to start my therapy!
I already know what my settings are from my old machine, and can't wait for this machine to hopefully improve my sleep.
G'day brother! That's awesome. Let me know how you find it. Have a great day and cheers for your comment!
@@CPAPReviews Got it 3 days ago, and I'm over the moon!
It replaced a Respronics System 1, that was on its last leg. While a good unit for its time, the Dream Station blows it out of the water!
Thanks to your video, setup was a breeze!
My original setup was 14 max pressure, so I set this at 15 max, just to give it a little headroom.
I had the min set at 5, but raised it to 6, because it was just too low, and had me feeling a little claustrophobic, but 6 is perfect!
Set to auto, it just works! When it comes on, it's so quiet, I thought it wasn't working, LOL!
It's so nice to go to sleep, and let this machine just do its magic.
3 nights in, I haven't felt this well rested in years!
I got this without a prescription, because I just didn't want the hassle of telling my Dr, going through another *#&@ sleep study, just to have them tell me what machine I'm going to use.
I've done a ton of research, and thanks to your informative videos, decided on the Dream Station, and am so glad I did!
I've even downloaded the app that goes with this system, and now am more informed than ever before!
The insights into my sleep cycles will make tweaking the settings in the future more accurate than a Dr ever will.
I might even buy a second one, and store it as a backup, LOL!

Ivan, because doctors are so busy, ask the receptionist if you can speak to the nurse. Be patient, it will take some time for them to speak to the doctor and get back to you. The pressure on most machines have to be prescribed, at least at the beginning.

I've been using my Dream Station for about 5 years. That's long enough that my insurance will pay for a new machine, but there don't seem to be any new machines available. Supplier is telling me that they don't expect to see any new machines until at least late September.
(I have registered my machine on the recall website.)
But as a practical matter I think that if I've been using the recalled machine for 5 years, another month or two probably isn't going to make much difference. If it's going to poison me, it likely already has.
Hi Scott, i think you're right mate, a few more months are probably not going to make too much of a difference. Cheers brother. Good luck. Nicko
@@CPAPReviews For what it's worth, I've never used an ozone cleaner on the machine, the the foam is probably not disintegrating.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words :)

Thanks Cobber. I agree. You're much better than the manual. Cheers 🇺🇸🤙🏽
Awww right on legend. You da man!
ANZACs mate but I live in the USA. Brothers in arms till the Blacks play the Wallabies, then we're sworn enemies until after the footy is done, and then we'll sit down as mates and have a beer 👍🏽

Thank you so much for these videos because I have the same machine and I have changed the chamber with the video that you shared a year ago and this video given me the information I was looking for to change my settings and pressure on my machine. 🙏👍
This was really helpful and so much better than the instruction book!

So helpful and informative!!! I have a lot of things to check on now. thanks so much for such a clear and well-presented video.
Thank you. You saved my life. That 4 pressure was a joke.
Thank you! Bought the machine on line, had no idea what the settings were or how to adjust them.
Glad I could help! Have a great day. Nick

The instructions were well described they were just a bit fast for me so I had to go back and watch it again. Over all I would give it a 10
Hi Fran, thanks for your great feedback! I will endeavour to slow things down a bit in the future :-). Sorry about that. Nick

best "How to" ive ever watched. thanks mate
Thanks for all the effort you have put into this series. I watched them all and thumbs upped them as appropriate. The tutorials are far more helpful than the manuals as they are quite comprehensive and easy to understand. Although I'd consider myself reasonably advanced in my knowledge of CPAP machines and technology in general, I did pick up one or two helpful hints so it was time well spent, even for an advanced user. I just upgraded to one of these machines (an auto one) and I am delighted with it. You have helped me tweak it even further for which I am grateful. :-)
Hi John, thanks for the kind words. Glad you found them useful. Best wishes with your therapy.
I agree! So much better than trying to figure everything out from the manuals.

I did not know how to get into the main settings... Thanks, Very helpful
nice machine but one thing that know one talks about is closing the door for the reservoir. Do not just snap close the door on the water chamber. It will break after time so just slide open the chamber door and then close it the same way.
