I am currently using the Goodknight 420G and have a 420s which needs repairs, it is blowing out some really smelly air since I dropped it. Something is wrong with the motor I think. These are good machines, why are they discontinued. Where can I find replacement parts now

No frills, but it works.

This is my first CPAP machine.
I wasn't convinced that CPAP was going to do anything so I wanted to spend as little as possible on a machine. Thus I got the 420G.
It was worth the price. For roughly 1300 USD less than the local store wanted I've got a functioning CPAP.
Though to other newbies I would suggest considering getting a machine with Exhale Pressure Relief. When I'm first going to sleep I have to push against the airflow when I exhale. Once I get to sleep my breathing gets more shallow and exhaling isn't a problem. The 420G works but I think it might be easier to get to sleep with a machine with EPR.
Also seriously consider a humidifier. I live in southern Louisiana so I assumed humidity wouldn't be a problem. However I've been having trouble with congestion and to be honest way more phlegm than normal.
In my opinion you won't go wrong with the 420G but some of the features of more expensive machines are probably worth the extra money in the long run.

This is a great product from an honest supplier.

We have purchased two 420 g for myself and my wife. We use them at our lake house and to travel. We also have large fancy ResMed units and i like the little 420g better. CPAP-Supply is an honest supplier and I feel lucky to have found them. We were guoted a price of $1600.00 plus each for the 420g from two other suppliers. Everything offered by these unscurplus supplers is a rip off of your tax dollars through abuse of the medicare system. Do us all a favor and report these abuses to your Represenatives.

Not only do I have 2 GoodKnight 420G's and think they're the greatest, but I also contacted CPAP-Supply and bought the battery backup that's made for this machine. It's very small, very light, and comes in a nice travel kit. I've used it a couple of times during blackouts, and it worked perfectly. The battery holds a charge for a very long time, but I charge it monthly just to be sure. Good luck... HB

Battery Back Up
March 12, 2008
Reviewer:

The battery back up sounds like a great idea, especially when you live in an area where the electricity goes out often. One of you posted that you used a 55 amp sealed lead acid battery for 7 days. Can you help a total illiterate when it comes to electricity? Where and what would I buy? How would I hook it up (most of the ones I saw were like car batteries, no plug - looking at the wrong thing?).
