SLEEP8 CPAP CLEANER
My DME just pitched me on a new CPAP cleaner called the SLEEP8. It appears to be another "activated oxygen" aka ozone device where you put your mask, hose, and water chamber in a closed bag, attach the bag to the SLEEP8 unit and then turn it on. Allegedly it cleans up to 99% of bacteria. It is touted to be quieter than other units, portable, and has a USB-style charger. (Note: other threads cover the efficacy and efficiency of ozone devices).
What makes it look scammy is that I was told that the unit had an MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) of $319, but was discounted to $299 -- but if I bought it now I could have it for $199.00. Amazon has an MSRP of $219.00 and an offering price of $219.00.
This looks pretty much like those cheap foreign devices that cost a fraction of the retail.
Additionally, the bag looks like a consumable and is guaranteed for 90-days. Replacements appear to be approximately $21.00.
Anybody else being pitched?
