Second cpap machine (first was the earlier gen from resperonics) I’ve had. I really wish there were more choices in the marketplace. The dream station has been anything but! It was noisy within a year and took it back to RANA. They changed settings but I could tell they weren’t too interested. It also started getting stuck on the high setting at some point in my sleep, but wouldn’t go back to down! I’d wake up having weird dream of being in a hurricane or something. It’s done this many times now. Took it back but in spite of having data card in...Read more

I have been doing CPAP therapy for 6 months.

I have had 5 machines, and of those 5 machines, 2 of them have "broke" one of them, a loaner was that ended up having a faulty humidifier and hose) that was replaced with a different loaner, the other one I purchased was replaced under warranty..

The New machine has completely different event information (that is number of apneas, central vs obstructive, leaking etc) I have woken up with the mask half off and it leaking everywhere and there now NO disconnects and NO leak recorded for the period tha...Read more

I bought my Philips machine because it had the features I wanted. I go camping a lot and the fact that it is 12v, that the humidifier can be removed and bypassed and that it is lighter that a Resmed S10 were all major factors to my choice of a Dreamstation.
From the moment it was plugged in, it wheezed through the filter box. There was also a strong vibration from the motor. I could not get to sleep from the noise and could hear the vibration through my pillow. It was sent back to Blooms The Chemist who promptly swapped it for another. The new...Read more

After completing a two month trial with a reputable sleep clinic I purchased a Phillips Dreamstation. The noise has made sleeping without a sedative impossible the whinning noise is consistent and loud. After eight nights I was experiencing AHI episodes, headaches and all the symptoms of sever sleep apnea. The machine does not maintain pressure during the night nor temperature. I became genuinely unwell due to this faulty machine. Phillips refused to refund me for my 8 day old faulty machine. It was replaced with another faulty machine. ...Read more

I used a phillips dreamstation for around 2 months when suddenly it started to make lots of noise, humming, whistling and the sound of wind blowing around my face although mask was not leaking, i have a dreamwear nasal mask. I sent it back and have just received a new one. This is worse, first night the noise same as above and the wind sound is incredible and the mask isn't leaking, also the heated hose heats up for the first hour or so then goes cold and so does the humidifier. The plate heats up for and hour or so then is cold for the rest of...Read more

Have had this a month. Has developed a loud whirring noise when I inhale. "Heated" tube has wet condensation in a 68 degree hotel room. Looked for similar reviews and found one mentioning overfill of humidifier being the issue. But it also said he made sure gaskets were properly seated. Looked at gasket in my unit between the reservoir and main unit. Indeed it was partly unseated. Carefully repeated it. WOW. Unit was super quiet and the noise in my pillow mask was gone. It became so quiet that I got up and checked the front to be sure it was on...Read more

I tried out a "loaner" that worked well enough. However, the new machine that I bought was not of the same quality. It whines and hums on inhalation and exhalation. However, the tube heater only works for 15 to 20 minutes then quits. It is like the pre-heater is the sole tube/heater connection to the main switch, which shuts the heat off after a short period of time. Consequently, I wake up in the morning with a wet face and my eyes full of water. That is because the mask leaks so badly that condensation in the mask is blown into my eye sockets...Read more
