Resmed replacement macine
Well I took my S9 Resmed machine along to ResSleep today and they told me the error message that it displays, indicates that the motor needs replacing soon. For $900 to replace the motor I thought no especially that they only give 1 year warranty.
So it looks like I am going to need to buy a new machine and they have quoted $1700 for a new Resmed Airsense S10 Autoset with built in wireless connectivity.
What are your thoughts and which supplier list could I purchase on from (at a better price)
My S9 Auto was made and purchased in 2011, with just under 22,000 sleep hours on it
Love to hear from you
Happy sleeping

That's an average price in Australia. However a quick search online indicates that a number of suppliers are offering specials including a free mask or deeper discounts if you buy a package. Have a look at Sleep Express Australia and Perth CPAP (and a whole lot more). Perth CPAP are offering the machine for about $50 less plus a free mask of your choice.
Alternatively, consider importing a machine from the States. You probably won't get a made-in-Australia Resmed, but a Singapore model, which is probably fine. Several of the dealers on our suppliers list will export to Australia.
Supplier #2 is noted for very low prices as well as near-new or "gently used" machines.
Supplier #33 is apparently a very low cost no frills outfit. If you do buy from the States, don't forget to convert their prices to Aussie dollars (including whatever percentage your friendly local bank whacks on top). Plus you have to pay for postage and there will be an Australian Customs handling fee which is currently $80. And if something goes wrong Resmed won't help you - it will have to go back to the States for warranty service. Having said all that, a lot of people do buy from over there and are very satisfied with the deal.

Supplier #33 will sell a Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset for $625 USD and about $100 for shipping to AU. Lots of members have used this vendor. Very reliable.

I would just retire your old machine and keep it as a back-up machine.
Go with Sleeprider's suggestion, there is no point in paying to much to get a machine.
