Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle CPAP SPSCAA

Waste of money – Had to buy this as the supplier did not have anything else. Biggest regret as it horrible to use. It actually make breathing while sleeping harder as the air flow is heavy and they can’t change that. Do not recommend this at all! Show details

defective to the point of dangerous – had this unit for some time and was having oxygen drops ding the night , information from an oximeter. on a couple of occasions i caught the unit trying to choke me for about 5-10 seconds just before I went to sleep. after multiple meetings with the sleep specialist who was no help i wrote a long complainant letter to F&P . After supplying them… Read more

with some machine data they admitted something was wrong with the unit and they needed to send to NZ for further testing and they replaced it. I lost faith after that and bought a Airsence 10. I sleep much better now.

Mobile unfriendly – Every couple of days I have to disconnect and reconnect so that the info from my cpap machine transfers to my iPad. It disconnects from Bluetooth regular and even when I try to reset it may or may not work. Also, when you wake up I the middle of the night to go to the washroom and come and restart it does not register the second part of your sleep. Piece of crap, I like the dreamstation better. Show details

Very good unit with 1 downside – The unit works great! Im very happy with all the features. The only downside is that the hose connection between the unit and the hose that cuts out the heating function is total garbage. The connection part does not have the grooves as the hose. This causes high air leakage and for a top unit with its pricetag this should not be! The bluethooth function for the app took me about 10 times before it actually connected. Show details

I would get rid of it fast – I got the fisher and Paykel cpap as an interim until my airsense was repaired by my chemist, although it was appreciated as they didn’t want me to be without, I think I would have had the same sleep quality. Do yourself a favour and do not buy, I gave it 3 nights to many and suffered for it, I feel that I couldn’t get air most of the time even… Read more

though my pressure was set at the same level by my chemist. My brother tells me he took his back under similar circumstances so it wasn’t just me that had this experience.

Good Product! – Used it for 4 monts, feel the different and makes much better sleep quality! Show details

Excellent product! – Get used to it after about one week and can't live without it. Now used it for about two months and everything works smoothly. No issues. Really helped to stop my OSA! Show details

FANTASTIC MACHINE – I have had mine for 2 years now from SleepWell Clinic in New Zealand. It is an AMAZING product. Super easy to setup, use and maintain. Almost silent machine. Not a single problem. Had to turn on and off to data download a couple of times. This is an awesome CPAP machine!! Show details

tried resmed but did not like the humidifier but apparently they fixed it – Stopped using it because of sore throats ,after stopping for 2 years I started back due to sleepiness was back, and purchased 2. One for travelling. I find that F&P cpap are better quality ,but prefered the older model as the water resevoir was larger and visible now you have to open it to check and too small ,they should fix that .Already woke up with that dry smell ,3 am not fun but maybe they can improve the size of the container Show details

Great machine – I did lengthy trials of both the Resmed and F&P units. The F&P was much better tolerated - I didn't wake up in the night the way I did with the Resmed. I suspect this is due to the automatic ramping function. Have used it nightly for six months without issue. My only gripe is that there is no easy option for non-mains power when camping. Show details

Great breaths - Bluetooth not so good – This is a great product that has in handed my sleep no end!! Only one small problem is the Bluetooth disconnects when ever I leave my house and I have to reset the machine to get it to reconnect. Show details

F&P Core CPAP Unit – I have recently invested in F&P equipment, including this core unit and a 'Envora' mask. Regularly our night is disturbed with the core unit delivering far too much air such that the sound of escaping air is audible to the point of wakening both my Wife and myself. I have come to calling this event, the core unit tripping into 'cyclone' mode! Has anyone else experienced this occurrence, and, of greater importance, how di you resolve the problem?

Love the machine!! – I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 2 years ago. Since using the machine, my quality of life has improved immensely. I now wake up in the morning feeling so much better and can now function properly during the day and think so much clearer. The machine is quiet and so easy to use. I have had to replace the strap that connects the mask to my face… Read more

on 2 occasions and the air filter at the back of my machine but apart from this, I haven’t had to do anything else. A great machine and I would recommend to anybody looking to purchase a CPAP machine.

Best machine on the market – I had a Phillips dream station but the f&p machine is by far, better. I highly recommend the Fisher & Paykel sleep style as it is more efficient and very quiet when running…… I rate it 9/10 Show details

Has changed my life - I cant live without it – I have had one of these since Nov 2020 due to sleep apnea. It has improved my mental capacity and ability to think clearer during the day. My ability to stay aware longer has improved my quality of life Show details

Regret swapping from Resmed – Firstly the straps on my full face mask fell apart and I had to make home repairs. (I was trapped in southern Africa where access to a CPAP provider was impossible). Secondly the blue-tooth connection to my phone kept failing, and still does in Australia. The hose to my mask is more rigid to what I am used to and effects my mask fit as I am a restless sleeper. Show details

Great product, it's a dream to use – I have been using my sleep style for a year now and what a great machine it is. So easy to use and super quiet. The data is great and access from the app is good, cannot rate this machine higher. So simple and easy to use and the build quality is great Show details

Outstanding – This F&P SleepStyle CPAP model is effortless to use, has comfortable breathing; and gives a great nights sleep. Has a small foot print, quiet, easy to clean, and sleep info is available onscreen or via ap - therapy hours, mask leak and apnea events. Very easy to program pressure, humidity, and expiratory pressure. The ap worked fine for me. My… Read more

previous F&P must be at least 7 years old - only stopped when I was travelling and the reservoir still had some water in it going all through the machine so I would say this brand has been very reliable for me. I borrowed a BMC machine when this occurred earlier this year - the humidity never really warmed up properly, and the tubes kept collecting water, which sometimes ended up in the mask.( I note the F&P manual warns about having devices above head height for safety reasons if using water in the humidity chamber). My ears got sensitive and I really didnt get great sleep compared to my old reliable F&P. I have not tried the competition products like the latest Resmed or Dreamstation so can not compare to those, but am pretty sure this one is hard to beat. Very surprised there are not more 5 star reviews here on this model given it is so good. Ill try and post a follow up if reliability is lacking.

This is great to use but but – I was using Fisher & Paykel as trial which I was happy to use this compact Cpap machine, easy to handle and not noisy. However on a third day machine didn't work at all and this lady at Cpap Victoria said I didn't follow the instruction properly that was why it was broken. This lady made me feel guilty "this is new one we never had the problem" I… Read more

said " I will pay it" but I haven't heard yet since last week. By the way they don't have other trial machine at all, even other brand which is shame. The other lady [name removed] is amazing.

Replace, replace, replace – I had the previous version of this machine and it had to be repaired 3 times under warranty. The fourth time it had to be replaced and since they no longer manufactured it I was given this one. Less than 1-year later the heating plate for the humidifier stopped working but the manufacturer will not honor their warranty if the machine has been… Read more

replaced. So I am stuck with a CPAP without a humidifier unless if I shell out all of the cost for a new one myself. In addition, I use the nasal masks and the thin plastic hooks on the top of the mask rarely last more than 4 months and my insurance will only cover 2 masks a year. The one benefit to this mask is they do have a 3-month warranty on them.

I have tested many, but this one is the best! – After testing 3 different devices, I bought the F&O icon Auto more than 10 years ago. It was a great machine. After 7 years it started to get a bit noisier and I decided to try the new DreamStation. That instrument was a total disappointment as it is very noisy and changes the noise frequency during normal breathing. I had to write it off and… Read more

bought a new icon auto which is still going very well. However, as I could buy a new machine heavily subsidised through my health insurance, I decided to buy the new SleepStyle auto. It is an amazing machine. It is basically noise free and even my wife is very impressed. Best investment I have made in a long time!

Warranty replacement after 1 year – I bought the CPAP non auto version in January - it started making weird noises and failing to work properly within a year. Fischer Paykel were actually pretty good replacing the device (although a lot of back and forth pushing to get the replacement sent). The machine works well, but I suspect the app is not very accurate (It said I had only .2… Read more

apneas per hour last night, but I woke up feeling very tired). Do your research and make sure you have the latest firmware. The patients data cannot upload to the internet unless your health provider has set it up properly: I have had very few issues with the SleepStyle app on iPhone,5, 6 and 10. Remember that Bluetooth is a problematic connection and your machine may be competing with other BT devices that your phone prefers. My warranty replacement arrived yesterday and I expect it will last for another 2 years. Changing the masks regularly is bloody expensive in Australia ($300 per mask!!). When mine went wrong, I found that these machines have a real problem being transported, so ensure you let the machine settle after movement and dont transport with water in it (in fact, remove the reservoir). Overall, a decent machine but not very robust.

Very shady company – After 5 years the machine just stop, I did some research on my fisher paykell Icon they have a recall on them when I called the manufacturer they said the recall is over and my machine will not be cover under warranty. I did let them know my disappointment and they told me the machine has lifespan of 5 years and not to worry after 5 years health… Read more

Canada will pay for a new machine. I let them know I wasn't happy with their response, Fisher paykell are using the Canadian system they know that health Canada will cover most of the cost after 5 years. Shame shame I will never buy their product ever again.

F&P Icon auto – Brilliant machine, until one day a couple of years down the road when it decides that it doesn't want to work anymore. Beware, it's a well known problem. The display and controls just go dead Show details

Great machine, but no sleep data available – I have had my F & P Sleep Style Auto since October 2018, and I’m generally happy with the machine. It’s a neat machine that is simple to use. One bad point is that it needs to be below your head height. I have had to purchase a separate small table to put next to my bedside to accommodate the machine, as my usual bedside table is too high. Not an… Read more

issue as it is a very quiet efficient machine, and very morning I just push it back away next to the wall.

Bluetooth: My one disappointment is the app and bloothtooth quality of this machine. Recently I have been unable to sync my phone or iPad with my Sleep Style. This happened a lot in the early days and I followed all instructions given on both the internet and in the manual, turning off, disconnecting and reconnecting again. When you do the last option you lose all data. I wasn’t concerned as I thought I had fixed the problem and I focused on the future, not the past. However this problem occurred intermittently over the next following few months... and I would have to reboot the machine again and again, and attempt to sync the app to my machine so I could get my sleep data.

Today I have had no data reading for over 4 weeks. This is not good enough, when I have requested support I am told to resync the machine, however I would lose all my data. I can see the Bluetooth light is on on my machine, and my phone is connected to the machine, however nothing happens!! Data is crucial in helping understand how my sleep and apnea is progressing and this machine does not fulfil the task it was meant to do in collecting my sleep data.

As other people on this site have suggested, the USB drive is useless and the sites you are directed to in order to obtain your data from this USB, is non existent. If this USB data is only available for doctors or the sleep technician’s eyes, then don’t advertise the fact to customers....this is misleading advertising.

I understand that the New Zealand owners of F & P have sold out to Chinese owners and have abandoned Australia. This shows in the care factor of looking after their customers post purchase. I’ve had similar problems with my F & P oven and dryer, and the bad after sales support when something goes wrong. I bought this Sleep Style machine in good faith thinking the service would be different, but I was wrong. With F & P, if something goes wrong you are on your own and they don’t want to own up to their failings in providing the service they have promised.

I will never touch a F & P sleep apnea machine ever again. It’s back to Resmed for me!!!

Disappointing – I purchased the Fisher Paykel CPAP in late October 2018. It worked beautifully and paired with my phone so that I could read my sleep data daily. I was very happy and getting great sleep. On February 24 the machine was making noise and the mask leak was "High" despite my switching out the mask I had been using for brand new. Additionally the… Read more

SleepStyle app stopped pairing at the same time. After returning it to the store where it was purchased the machine is now working as a CPAP with no further noise and mask leak issues. The retailer gave me the phone number to Fisher Paykel for customer support on the app/bluetooth issue (California). Very very disappointing. No ownership. The fault is definitely in the phones (tried 5, iPhones (2) and 3 androids, same result) according to Fisher Paykel's service. There is a website that you can log into and insert a stick that is located on the back of the machine to get your data but that website is "invalid" on three different laptops. A feature I paid a lot for is simply defective and there is no further way to address it with the retailer or Fisher Paykel. It is a "too bad, so sad" situation. Based on this experience I would recommend purchasing the well established brands that do not have this feature and cost far less as in short order the feature will be defective anyway. Fisher Paykel has NOT backed up their product.

I have purchased two Fisher Paykel fridges in the past, very nice and somewhat high end, and they have been great with one small issue being very well addressed by their customer service years ago (New Zealand). I have just almost bought my third as I have just purchased a new abode but will look elsewhere as the name, Fisher Paykel, that I have been so loyal to and recommended to many friends is now tarnished by this CPAP experience.

While the machine is again working only as a CPAP machine without any data (I have no clue how I am doing with my health problem, NONE) my experience with Fisher Paykel's support team in California and the now obsolete data situation I can not give one star. Update: I had to give one star to post.

Fisher Paykel you have disappointed thoroughly.

e&oe

Better than Resmed – I have been using my F&P Sleepstyle since the end of February 2018 and it has performed well up until the past month or so. The humidifier no longer works and I am waking up congested and dried out. Also, the sleep data is not transferring to my phone app so I've missed long periods of time, at least a couple of months worth of data. I still gave it a 4/5 because it works and is easy to use.

HAPPY ENOUGH WITH MACHINE BUT APP DOSN'T WORK. PAT NOV 2018 – .Tried loading it putting in new passwords through the email function etc.Has anyone out there actually got the app to work?Perhaps you could run me through how you managed it.Thanks

Very disappointed – I bought a Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle machine and have not had any success with obtaining data from the machine. Extremely quiet. Well fitting masks which are very easy to clean, as are the hoses. Very pleased with the operation of the unit. Biggest downfall is I cannot get my downloaded data from the machine and this makes any sleep apnoea… Read more

device irrelevant if you cannot access the information. The device itself does not connect to the internet through its program. I have been supplied with 3 different machines and everyone has had the same fault/issue. Fisher & Paykel advertise an App which does not connect to this machine!!!

Caveat Emptor – I got sold one of these machines as the flash new alternative to the Resimed I have been trialing and have had nothing but problems with it. The support app falls short in comparison and whilst it has a small footprint it needs to be lower than the patient so I have to leave mine on the floor which diminishes usability and visibility as well as… Read more

reducing hose length resulting in mask leakage and discomfort. For a period it would start but then stop a few seconds later and would continue that sequence and not work properly, though that seems to have fixed itself. The WiFi capacity is also dodgy and doesn't always connect properly and it has taken a number of shut downs and restarts over the past two days to get mine on line again.

Great robust totally silent – PRO - Robust machine. Very little to break or go wrong - Totally silent. No noise from either the machine or down the hose into mask - Powerful motor so it feels totally smooth even with rapid inhale. - Links to F&P site and to Bluetooth for statistics. - Has a feature called 'Sensawake' which reduces the amount of times you are woken during… Read more

the night from the machine.

- The AUTO feature works perfectly and fast.

Against:

- Lack of reporting features on machine (Reports raw AHI not Central / obstructive etc).

- Not yet compatible with Sleepyhead software.

- No DC power input. Transformer is built-in to the machine and sits under the heater plate. This means it does not suite travel or camping etc.

- Does not have RAMP feature.

- Heated hose and humidity are combined into one setting (some see it as a positive, others a negative).

Summary: Whilst brands that have previously taken the lead such as Resmed have a ton of reporting features, the latest series in that brand suffers a ton of problems from weak motor that burns out, to seals that come loose with a single cough - and they suffer a lot of noise esp. Whistles (noises with a pitch). The F&P Sleepstyle has none of these faults and trust me I tried three units just so I could break them. It is robust and silent and suffers from nought. Parts are about the same price between all the brands. The footprint of the device is small - about the same as the Resmed and much smaller than Phillips. Pricewise - the unit is on par with the other top brands.

If you are looking for a robust and durable perfectly quite machine - look no further than the F& P Sleepstyle. It ill nbot let you down. Of the top three brands in CPAP / Auto CPAP - I highly recommend this unit.

Excellent quality CPAP Machine – Have been using the Fisher & Paykel for 6 weeks now. It is the best cpap machine I have used. It is easy to use and is a compact size so doesn't take up to much room on a bedside table. The humidifier compartment inside the machine and is easy to take out to clean. There is a small filter that is on the back of the machine which is easy to remove… Read more

and replace after cleaning. It has a usb stick for data storage as well as the machine itself can store data. There is also a modem in the machine for connection to supplier who can keep track of data also.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a CPAP machine. They come in fixed and automatic models.
