Question  03-03-2019, 02:51 PM
BiPAP: AirCurve or DreamStation? (Or, Chicken or Fish?)
Hi all,

Long story short, I need to upgrade to a BiLevel machine because I may need extra pressure to keep my pipes open.

Which one would you recommend between AirCurve 10 VAuto and DreamStation BiLevel Auto?

Thank you for your advice!

ResMed, it reacts faster to events and it tends to be more comfortable because of the way it follows your breathing rather than trying to predict your breathing.

Second for the Resmed. If you're paying out of pocket or savings count, Supplier #2 has a phenomenal deal at $799 new for the Aircurve 10 Vauto, and for about another $100 USD they ship internationally.
