Posted by tomtom on March 19, 2002 at 00:12:52:In response to some earlier posts, how about this for a possible disadvantage to the built-in: when the humidifier goes on the blink, which I assume would be more often or likely than the CPAP part of the unit (things like thermostats or heater elements that burn out for example), then you have to send in the entire unit for repair and be without a CPAP at all (unless you have a spare CPAP, which I think many of us who have not been on CPAP for many years would not likely have, considering the cost of another machine).
On the other hand, I guess one of the best ADVANTAGES other than compactness/simplicity would be the fact that the whole machine, including humidifier, will work on foreign power sources, whereas with the separate humidifier, you'd have to have a converter for just the humidifier - and I understand that some manufacturers don't recommend even trying to operate a humidifier on a converter (?)
Just some thoughts to throw out there for anyone who'd care to comment or set me straight :)
