→Models I recommend
**ResMed A10 Elite
**Philips Respironics PRS1 Pro
I believe all the ResMed S9/A10 or Philips PRS1 bilevel/BiPAP/VPAP/ASV/AVAPS machines are OK. There is no SleepyHead support yet for some of the more advanced models.
====Philips Respironics DreamStation====
There is a newer model line of Respironics machine, called the DreamStation. I suspect it is a fine machine, but for now, I don't recommend it because users don't have access to an updated version of Encore Basic or the free, open source, SleepyHead programs. I recommend to avoid the DreamStation "CPAP" base model because it collects much less data. The Pro and Auto models have good data collection.
There is a working version of Encore Pro available now. It's not nearly as good as SleepyHead, but does work. It also is a problem install for many people. I recommend that you log in as an administrator for the install, not just do the "run as administrator" process.
These machines have an optional wirless wireless modem that allows you to view SOME of your data online, but the data is limited compared to Encore Basic or SleepyHead. The online program also requires someone to pay money every month to use the web site and the cell phone network.
