1. Which mode? CPAP / AUTO(APAP) / BIPAP
You want go forget about getting a standard CPAP altogether. You should definitely start with an AUTO (APAP) and if after 1-2 months you are really struggling to use the therapy consider speaking to your consultant about trialling a BIPAP device which is easier to use (but more expensive!)
2. Which brand?
If you have plenty of money then consider getting one of the big 3 (f&p, resmed, philips respironics). They are all very good machines and they all have very similar specifications. They also have similar comfort features like pressure relief features, heated tube features and good data capabilities including smart phone apps. I personally would go with a SleepStyle at this point in the product cycle as it's only 3 years old compared to the other two which are +5 years old.
If you are money conscious then you can't go wrong with BMC Luna G3 Auto. It's got a 5 year replacement warranty, integrated heated tube, great data capabilities, huge lcd screen and it's ease of operation / cleaning etc is just awesome. It also retails about 50% less than the expensive brands.
Portability is important for some. A smaller machine is easier to travel with so if you travel frequently compare the size and weight of the different machines. There's not a huge difference between most of them but there's certainly some that have a smaller footprint. You might also like to check out the travel cpap machines options as a secondary unit if you really travel a lot. The best travel cpap machine is the Z2 Auto. I have one and it's AMAZING! [ Ссылка ]
I don't really recommend using travel cpap machines as your everyday device however if you don't need humidification then there's no reason why you can't use them everyday.
