Update. Now 7 months in. I love this machine. I only use it on fixed pressure. It is super quiet. Easy to use and clean. Very comfortable too. The humidity is great. the chamber hinge that Jason points out seems thin, but it has been very sturdy. I can't see a problem with it. 3 minor issues: Hose is a little stiff and wonky, but not a deal breaker. Bluetooth loses connection sometimes and you have to unplug the power and connect it again to fix. Still not SleepHQ compatible, but OSCAR works great!
Did you use Resmed before this one, and is it a problem that you can't change tuvbe temperature, or the humidity works on auto great.
I've been using this machine for over a month now, and I really like it. Extremely quiet, and sleeping well with it. Only one slight annoyance is that the hose is a little stiffer than others I have used and can be a little awkward at times, other than that it is a solid machine. Glad I bought it!
Kudos though to F&P for using an *amber* screen instead of a wake-me-up blue or poke-my-eyes-out white.
Seriously!!!
😂😂😂
I never understood CPAP makers having brightly lit screens on their machines that affect melatonin production. Don't we have enough sleep issues?
@@sarap1233 Definitely some bizarre design choices there. I don't suffer as much because my ASV has a black faceplate and so they made the screen background black. But the normal CPAP Dreamstations have white backgrounds 😭
Thanks for showing the clinician menu, the manual said nothing about it! Been great so far except for that, now I'm at cpap instead of auto at my desired pressure.
I had my for nearly 2 years and its been awesome.It took me a bit to get use to,but it was worth the effort to get comfy with....No more getting up to go to the toilet every 1 or 2 hour every night and also no more hypnagogic jerk.But I do get ear pop from time to time.
@
Andre Gamanche Agreed the cord and the hose can be inconvenient especially in tight places.
Love the machine otherwise. Even more now I know how to get the therapist menu
It is all pretty durable it seems from my experience in using it for over a year. I’ve never used other machines but this thing is basically zero sound. Previous to using one myself my the only time I seen one of these machines was when I had to share a room with someone who used one. The dang machine kept me awake all night while friend had a great nights sleep.
Have been on one of these for two years now and no issue with the tank lid coming off.
Seems to do the job but I really have no comparison.
4:30 Do your neighbors ever ask if you're crazy? Hahahaha
No.....because I drive to random neighborhoods and run through THEM with CPAP in hand. Those people probably think I’m certifiable.
@@Freecpapadvice lol you have a good sense of humor and it's funny
One of your neighborhood jaunts may generate a SWAT callout one day! LOL!
CPAP legend
Not all latest model cpap machine are quiet. The phillips cpap home version is noisy. Fisher and Paykel and Resmed are quiet.
If only the phillip cpap Go version was quiet, I would've bought it. I ended up purchasing the resmed
Love it. Sense awake is nice
Omg, you’re so funny. I freakin’ LOVE you!!! Personality plus...
Great video. The sleep clinic I go to have these as one of their primary machines. I wanted one of them but turns out I need bilevel.
Thanks for the helpful vid
I have 103 error, and my maschine is not working?
The Fisher & Paykel is much heavier than the ResMed and the buttons are harder to use than the ResMed if you have any sort of arthritic problem in your upper body.
Other than that machine works well but if I had my time again I would get the ResMed
I can't carry the F&P machine myself which is a problem whenever I take it to be serviced.
Just because the machine is marketed as being better for arthritis it does not mean that it is.
Another comment: the design is not fantastic. Great improvent needed: size of the box, controls and électric cord (reminds me an old military type of electrical plug . Otherwise, the machine works very well.
I was just about to purchase this one when I saw that Fisher and Paykel will no longer make CPAP machines, discontinued??
What does the ramp do????
Hi, does this machine have an automatic start function? Or you must always push the start button??
Thanks!
Great video Jason. I Will use that code next time I order.
I think it’s getting close to gingerbread season! We might need another gingerbread truck review😂 I do love your other channel as well. It’s time for another epic video!
Thanks man! I have one coming......
I OWN BOTH the Resmed and this one. The Resmed is much better because you can change the tube air temperature going to you so it blows cooler air. With the P&K you just get hot air blowing at you! Like living in Florida in summer. Also the P&K does not self-start and you have to press the button. You can’t travel with it to different countries unless you buy the plug for that particular country. Also, the silicone top of the humidifier stinks if you don’t wash it REALLY well EVERY night. Stinks like mold. The Resmed, you just need to wash it with dishwashing liquid once a week. It’s much less high maintenance. But the biggest thing is the heating tube. I hate breathing in hot air. I can change the temperature in degrees on the Resmed. It was a relief to breathe in cool air. I like my room to be cool and not warm when I go to sleep, so I don’t like to breathe in warm air. There’s also a lot more features on the Resmed besides that, like it shows you what your average pressure is. Also there’s a setting if you always want a ramp on, think you have to keep the button pressed down at the start with P&K? Not sure. The Sense Awake didn’t make a difference to me that I know of. If I wake up with the Resmed, I do have to pull the mask away from my face if I want it to stop blowing so high. Noise level is the same between the two machines. I just use my Resmed now. Just be sure to get the latest Resmed (July 2022 as of now, not sure when it came out) as the previous model had a leaky humidifier chamber!
Re Plugs: Have to do that for everything anyway I believe. Re Humidifier: It's adjustable (up or down). Re Gasket: I have *never* come across this. I suggest you swap to distilled water.
@@BarrySuridge no, I live in the U.K. and as the Resmed has the large converter box on the power cord (lead), I can plug it straight in when I go to the USA or France. With my P&K, I needed to buy a separate plug for the USA, which I have done, as it doesn’t have a converter box on the lead for the amps in each country. (With the Resmed, you just have to change the SHAPE of the plug that goes into the socket which you can get at any airport, not the whole power cord).
Great feedback.
I just bought the resmed airsense 10 and has 30 days return warranty..
I am hesitant whether to return it and get the F&P sleepstyle just for its sensawake feature which automatically adjusts the pressure down if im awake (due to high pressure).
Im on my 2nd week with Airsense10 and the main drawback is the high pressure at night ,which causes mask leak and wake me up..
1. Does the senseawake really work particularly in dropping the pressure and wont WAKE you up?
with Airsense10 i just remove the mask too, to drop the pressure..
@@thierrysiao1402 From memory, it is not that intuitive, so it doesn’t know you’re in the process of waking up. You wake up, it’s blowing hard, and then it drops. So I doubt it would help with you waking up due to high pressures and leaks. Sounds like you need to adjust your mask tighter or maybe try one with the silicone because it sticks to your face more? I would never take the Sleepstyle over the Resmed. My Sleepstyle is sitting in a box. The main reason is that I don’t like breathing warm air. I find it much more comfortable to have the air temperature at like 19, nice and cool! That reason alone to me makes it worth it.
5:10 That's absolutely horrible. So cheap. No other manufacturer does that.
Hi, I've been searching APAPs machines and found your channel. Could you briefly describe the main differences between Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset for Her and F&P SleepStyle? It will be my first machine and I wanna buy a reliable and sturdy one. Don't wanna swap soon or take to technical assistance. Thank you very much. p.s. You're really fun! :)
Of the two, go with the ResMed. You'll be able to view your data with OSCAR.
@@Freecpapadvice Thank y! :-)
@@Freecpapadvice thanks for the advice there. Pretty hard choosing between the two, would love to buy NZ made (fp) and the hose looks great on this unit...
TheLankyLefty27 hello there! I am also trying decide between the F&P and the Resmed 10 (black for him) and was wondering what your thoughts were on the swivel tube? The resmed swivels but does the F&P? Does the F&P allow you to increase/decrease temperature?
The problem with F&P will not set up for world travel. The power cord are single voltage.
Found it odd that many places are selling this unit for $699. Even with your discount code your sponsor is $150 more then most other companies sell this for.
The cheapest I've found anywhere without discount is $999. Where are you shopping at that price?
I've been using this machine for more than a year. At first, it was fantastic for about 2 months. then i started to get the same sleep apnea bad effect. Tired, dizzy, problem to concentrate. The supplier telle me the machine is fine and is working well. I had a few problems recently with air leaks, I changed the mask and was better. But i still have problems with 4 days out of 5. Usually, head aches and mostly dizziness and problem to concentrate for most of the day until 3 -4 pm. Then on evening is better usually. So i miss most of my day battling this bad side effect. Anybody have any clue ? I getting hopeless.
This could be a hormonal or blood sugar problem unrelated to your cpap function.
I had this same problem. Turns out I was choking while on my cpap machine. if you have a very narrow upper airway, sometimes the cpap air will force your tongue into your throat, causing you to choke while you sleep. if you stay on your side, it will help you. also, the RonchAP upper airway clasp, which is available in europe, used in combination with the cpap helped me greatly. i no longer have the sleep apnea effect you describe.
you could also try an oral appliance in combination with your cpap.
Can you explain why the machine should be kept ON all day? If it is not, the computation of IAH is erratic. Thanks for ypur help
I'm not sure why. Didn't know that it did cause computation problems with the AHI.
Hey Jason, this is one of your older videos. You mentioned that this machine does not support OSCAR but “they’re working on it” and you’ll provide an update. What’s the latest and greatest? Does this machine have a comparable data analysis program?
Not yet. Looking forward to it when it does because I really like this machine.
@@Freecpapadvice It does now, yes?
The noise test was useless. There was no sound on both. I still use my ResMed S9 because I tried the AirSense and it was loud compared to the S9. The smaller they get, the noisier they get!
That was the point that I made with the noise comparison......
The noise comparison should have been when wearing a mask. I have had my AirSense 10 for many years and from day 1 it has upset me because I can hear the machine go up and down with my breathing. With my first machine, Philips respironics system one, Remstar Pro C-Flex +, it was silent and no one heard it. More than once people woke me up to tell me machine was off but it wasn't
@@loriburritt9750 yepper that is why I haven't gone to the AirSense 10. But Lanky doesn't think it is loud! Ha!
da heck is oscar and sleepyhead?
Such a fingerprint magnet.
I did not realize you were local
I'm local to wherever I am at the moment.....FACT!!!!
Travel? That thing reminds me of the old CCCP SCTV skit where they show a giant room sized camera billed as the latest advance in Russian miniaturization technology.
Genuinely laughed out loud! That's hilarious!!!!!
Lord Garth I did manage international travel with the model this replaces. Only needed a plug adapter.
its not a travel cpap imho. Its too thick. They need to built slimmer. I actually prefer the resmed airsense 10 bag. Its slimmer and built more sturdier than fisher and paykel's bag
Too thick.....or too thicccccc?
Are you going to raffle the machine off?
I've been looking into the legality of doing this for another machine that I acquired. I think something like that would be really fun. I was considering doing it to people that support via Patreon....but I kinda hate Patreon.
@@Freecpapadvice You could just give it to me:) seriously I don't think the CPAP police will come after you. It's all CPAP patients here. You could make the disclaimer that you have to provide your scrip in the contest rules.
@@Freecpapadvice Ah, you're woke about Patreon too?
Hmmmmm........🤔
“Hella” woke. 😎. About to do something about it too.
It looks like it should be a blender!
