I have used the Breeze since it came out several years ago.
It has changed in design many times, some minor, some major.
It is a bit of a challenge to adjust and many people are simply are not able to do it.
Sometimes it is necessary to bend the metal spline to loosen it to fit. Gotta be careful here.
I am having a problem with the latest model in which the straps are on a sliding cradle rather than being attached to a single fixed point. It keeps falling down. I remedied this by moving it to the TOP and now it rests BELOW or under the flexible hose. Still not perfect, but it does not fall down.
The earlier models broke very easily and I came up with a very easy way to fix it- not involving any glue or adhesive, but Sandman does not permit me to post this fix as he considers it potentially dangerous.
I am totally convinced the pillows have enlarged my nasal opening quite a bit since I started using it. I am now on the green pillows and probably need to get the next larger size. I think they are purple- maybe the dilator- not sure. I welcome clarification on this.
I have a respironics autopap and the reports show a very good leak rate with the newest version.
