An OK mask
September 21, 2009
(3 out of 5) by William K H, VA
"I usually use a Comfort Gel mask. At the recommendation of my DR, I tried this new model. It's light, fits well, but has two short comings in my estimation. First, the exhaust port sends the air directly out from your face at a 90 degree angle. In my case, that was directly at my wife! The Comfort Gel exhaust follows the hose and, logically, doesn't point at your sleeping partner. Second, the cushion is not washable with the rest of the mask but is only to be "wiped off" with a damp cloth. I, personally, am concerned that this is not an effective means to clean and sanitize the mask."

Zest Nasal CPAP
July 29, 2009
(3 out of 5) by Annoymous User
"Purchasing the Zest Nasal CPAP upon the advise of another person who liked it, I had hoped for a more satisfactory experience. The nasal portion of the device too easily becomes separated into pieces which are a bit hard to put back together, especially in the dark if one happens to squeeze it adjusting while in bed. The foam lining portion sort of ejects itself from the outer body of the nasal cushion system, and it becomes a drawn out effort."

Zest is comfortable

"Just want to say how great the Zest is and quality is great! After years of using the mask with blue silicone nasal cushion this one out does it. THE Zest fits really comfortable and after a nights sleep when you take it off it does not leave a impression on your face that you had a big mask covering you all night. Zest is lighter and quiter - more pleasureable wearing! The nasal cushion feels of quality and now will see what the wearablity is like as compaired the the blue type.
Really glad I tried it and the reviews helped me make this dession to buy the Zest"

Zest Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear ( Average )
June 30, 2009
(3 out of 5) by Steven H, ON
"I got this mask as a replacement for my original Fisher & Paykel mask that I received when I first started using my CPAP 2 years ago. The ratings and reviews were very favorable and I figured I could trust the feedback here and the reviews. I have to admit that I am somewhat disappointed in the performance of the mask. It felt more comfortable initially but as time went on I had to continually make the mask tighter to my face in order for the Silicone seal to remain against my face. The mask would always leak and blow air into my eyes despite trying to adjust it repeatedly over the past 6 months. I was mostly interested in the venting setup as my prior Fisher & Paykel mask was a lot louder than this one. But recently the 400440A started to whistle and blow air out around the seal. I think that I'm going to try something new. Hope this helps somewhat in your decision making to purchase or not."

Zest Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear
June 13, 2009
(5 out of 5) by SL NYC
"This is the most comfortable nasal mask I have used yet. I like the soft material used. It seals well, feels snug, and is very easy to remove with a simple unhook mechanism. Much quieter than ripping off a velcro strap. Only drawback are the forehead cushions, which tends to dig into the skin a bit after a night's use."
