I got the Nova Micro from your store and have to say, it's extremely comfy, pillows feel much better than the P10. It's easy to exhale and it's for me, a far better experience than the P10 was (and it was good). Thanks for the awesome review. Love your videos
I do like the P10 however I found the exhale valve tends to clog up making it hard to exhale and eventually clogs up completely after a few months. I am hoping the micro will last just a little longer.
Yeah I think they changed the design of the vent gauze. I have used P10s for the last 8 years. The last two masks have been clogged after a month or two of use or when rain out occurs. Am hoping this new mask helps solve the issue.
I'm looking forward to trying the Micro. I currently use the F&P Brevida mask which I like but has one flaw (at least for me). The point where the tube swivels is also where the exhaust diffuser is located. Oftentimes it swivels and points at my lips/face and bothers the heck out of me. I like the P10 a lot except for the fact that the headgear is not adjustable. I have a large head and wearing the mask more than four days in a row leads to a sore nose. I don't understand why ResMed doesn't offer a larger strap.
I find the different experiences that users have using the same mask fascinating. I have only ever used a P10 because it was suggested as the best first attempt mask and it has been perfect for me ever since. I have no problem exhalation pressure, no condensation, no fit, leak, or comfort issues and no problem moving about as much as I want. I use it with a ResMed AirSense 11 and I don't even use the water tank. The rotating connections at either end of the hose with this mask did intrigue me a little because the P10 does not have even one rotating end. I think the reason it would be necessary with this Nova Micro is because the elephant hose is so short on this mask. It looks to be about half the length of the hose on the P10. I expect that the significantly longer hose on the P10 allows for far more torsional freedom, eliminating the need for the rotating connections. I think I would probably have issues with the shorter length of the Nova Micro elephant hose because the additional length in the P10 hose creates the freedom I have in turning from side - to - side and is probably largely responsible for the fit and comfort experience I have.

I had similar thoughts but just got my micro and it is much better than the P10 in my view. The pillows are more comfortable. It does exhale better. I am a side sleeper and turn from side to side and have no difficulties with the elephant hose.
I think resmed has changed the diffuser design on the p10. Clogs more easily making it harder to exhale. Have used this mask for years at high pressure of 17 to 18cm H2O with no issue, cleaning weekly. Its become unusable and have tried 2 separate replacements of the p10. Am hoping switching to the new FP mask will solve this.
I've searched hi/lo and tried all masks to find a backup option for respironics nuance (I think they've already dc'd it...); my airmini uses P10... is nova micro available for US customers?
How about leaking on both masks? Do they both have problems with high leakage especially at higher pressures eg max 15 or, is one mask better than the other with little to no problem with air leakage?
Too bad it's not in the US, and doesn't come in XS, just like the brevida, which only comes in small/xs which is really just small and not small enough. I hate they couldn't make a smaller version.
How does people manage mouth leaks with nasal mask? I used to use P10 but mouth leak forced me to use full face mask which I still haven’t found a good fit.
I use paper skin tape sold at any pharmacy and it works well. When you remove it go to the sink and keep dabbing the tape with warm water and it will loosen up within about a minute. No lip soreness. I hope this helps.
P10 is quieter and has way less airflow. On my measurements, P10 exhale air speed is 1.6m/s and Micro is 2.62m/s. This measurement is done at 15cm pressure.

I've been using the P10 for almost 15 years. I like it, but I wish it had a swivel like the nova Micro. I may try the Nova Micro.

WHICH ONE IS BETTER? Let us know your thoughts!
0:01 - 2:40 = Nova Micro Review
2:40 - End = P10 vs Nova Micro
i'm a bit confused. you talk about using these as a side sleeper on a pillow but at the end you don't realy recommend them for that...

CPAP Battery Starting at $129 Canadian : thecpapstore.ca/collections/batteries/products/go-battery-universal-cpap-battery
When will these available in the USA? Your website only shows Canada
According to our F&P reps, the USA will only receive the Solo until further notice. So we do not know as we only operate in Canada.
@@thecpapstoreis that weird that they are only doing it in Canada? I can't imagine why.
I would like to try this but do you ship to US?
wow P10 seems to be louder....

I been on P10 for a few years and i am changing to another mask because i started getting irritation in my nostril and around my mouth
Too bad it's not in the US, and doesn't come in XS, just like the brevida, which only comes in small/xs which is really just small and not small enough. I hate they couldn't make a smaller version.
Question. Do you exhale thru the nose or mouth?
Out the nose with the P10, I guess it would be similar to the Micro, which I haven't received yet.
How does people manage mouth leaks with nasal mask? I used to use P10 but mouth leak forced me to use full face mask which I still haven’t found a good fit.
You could try a CPAP chin strap, which helps support your jaw closed while sleeping.
use KT tape to cover the mouth, works for me.
@@tavolvyou I tried that.. peels off part of my lips every morning!
I use paper skin tape sold at any pharmacy and it works well. When you remove it go to the sink and keep dabbing the tape with warm water and it will loosen up within about a minute. No lip soreness. I hope this helps.
How noisy is the exhalation?
P10 is quieter and has way less airflow. On my measurements, P10 exhale air speed is 1.6m/s and Micro is 2.62m/s. This measurement is done at 15cm pressure.
Cost comparison?
both are $140 CAD on our website. those who get our emails get reduced costs via promo codes.
Can the cushion on the micro be used on the P10?
No because the p10 is resmed and this is f&p
Didn’t they just come out with the noisy solo?
perhaps? I am unable to get my hands on a solo in Canada right now. Hopefully I will get them by fall, and can do a review.
This is pillows, the solo is a "nasal cushion (or nasal compact)" like the evora nasal.
@@screamtoasigh9984 the solo comes in two options. Nasal cushion or pillows. I have the pillow version.
@@screamtoasigh9984 solo is pillows but with a hard shell that your nose is pushed against, making it ache
