Hi David You'll be using the machine for many years to come, don't waste money on re-conditioned unknown CPAP at any price, with the rebate from your private insurance, you can get the best auto data capable machine, something like this ... http://www.resmed.com/au/en/consumer/pro...toset.html or "for Her" version from Australia as machines bought from overseas don't qualify for the rebate. There is no rebate for masks, hoses, and other accessories, I get those from Supplier #10, both suppliers #2 and #10 ship overseas. Good luck

Anyone know the cost of running a CPAP machine over a year please? CPAP motor are three phases, these are controlled by a "variable frequency drive", not voltage. The important of a CPAP is the motor and it consumes very little W, today I checked the consumption of my machine without connecting Humidifier at a fixed pressure of 8cmh2o: in inspiration 0.360 Amp (50% Time) or 4 Wats, in expiration the A flex reduces consumption to 0,160 Amp (50% Time) or 1.9 Wats/h 6 divided by 2 = 3 Wats at 8 cm H2O. If you are 18 cmH2O consider the consumption of its motor 6 or 7 Wats/h the rest of the power of 90 W source is to feed the humidifier and heated hose. Although it never works continuously, it connects intermittently and the average consumption low enough, I assure you that those 152.00 dollars will cover the electrical consumption of your cpap.
