M Series BIPAP Plus with Bi-Flex

So far I am pleased with my m series bipap machine. It is a little louder than my old one but the lower pressure on exhale is nice. Glad my wife can't hear to well or it would probably keep her awake. Was very easy to set up and get running. took a few nights to get use to but doing well now.

Works extremely well. It is what the BIPAP is all about from a user's point of view. Only two suggestions for improvment: There should be a way to lock out the switches so only an on-off is active if you so choose, and the power unit and cords should be integrated for ease of handling. Also, purchasing from cpap.com was as easy as buying a book from Amazon and their tech set the adjustments without additional charge.

As a brand new user I have no "priors' to compare with; however, I love the design and performance of this machine, along with the humidifier attached. I read all the materials and was able to set it up myself (settings confirmed by therapist later). I am very happy with it.

This machine is only my second and I have to admit that I wasn't happy when I found out that only the M Series is available for purchase now. Now I have two machines that are not compatible. I'd hoped to have a spare humidifier, spare power adapter and only have to buy one set of filters and so on and have a backup machine that was a true backup, now I have two separate machines. That being said, I am very pleased with the M Series. It is very comfortable to use and I believe the airflow is modulated by the blower rather than a switching valve. It feels like a more natural transition than older machines. This could be due to an improvement in the Biflex technology as well. This is also a feature my wife doesn't like as there is more "breathing noise" as she puts it. Before the machine was one constant sound, now she hears the change in my breathing from the machine. It is a quieter machine overall, the sounds are different. The setup is very easy. There are many improvements over the older machines. The power options, particularly for 12 volt applications, are much simpler and less cumbersome. The travel case is much smaller and more functional, even with the optional humidifier. The fit with the humidifier is more integrated and makes for a nice looking unit whether you use the humidifier or not. The unit works great also. The therapy provided is very comfortable and easy to stick to with this machine. This is why, despite some complaints below, I still rate this machine highly. It works great for its intended purpose. As for my complaints, I'll start with my biggest. Although the lights dim slightly after the unit begins to operate, it's not enough. My previous bipap had an option for turning off the lighted buttons completely after starting the unit. I want that feature back. Even dimmed I can see very well in my room. I can see my ceiling very clearly in this bright blue light. This change has been traumatic for my wife. She has trouble sleeping unless it's very quiet and very dark, both things this machine has disrupted. I tried covering up the buttons with something loose, but my hose knocked it off during the night, and I don't want something covering them semi-permanently as I don't want to change the look or function of the device or create a fire hazard from heat building from the device or humidifier. This leads me to my next issue, the rear hose connection. This is an inconvenient location for me. I don't route the hose over or through my headboard, and the position of my machine is very far back so I'm concerned about the hose kinking over time and I have less wiggle room because the hose connection is farther away and the angle eats up some of the length of my hose. It works great for the humidifier connection, but it's outlet is also on the rear. They could have included a non-swivel elbow to assist with this issue. Overall a good machine for the purpose and it would be excellent with just a few tweaks.

This new Resperonics Bipap plus machine is so much quieter and smaller than my ten year old Resperonics machine that it is well worth the money that I'am paying for the machine, as Medicare would not replace it. Thank you cpap.com for the rapid responce to my order.

Nice compact machine. I find it to be quiet and compact. Hope it holds up as long as my old one.

a very nice machine; natural breathing, quiet, compact.
