    The worst part is that it took them years after it came out to be a known risk before they actually sent me a replacement machine.

    Having to choose between the risk of heart failure and the risk of cancer sure was fun…

      Instead of making you wait, they should have been forced to shell out to get you a new machine from another company. Well, Resmed. All of us who use CPAPs know that Phillips and Resmed machines are far and away better than any other machine out there. Which sucks for us users.
