Much better than doing it manually! It is great to have the Sleep Apnea cleaner. Doing things manually was no fun. The operating device takes quite long to charge, but once you start using it regularly you get yourself into a routine. The company communicates well, and good customer service will help you get the subsequent bags you will need. My device broke after more than a year's use, and the company quickly replaced it.

This is wonderful device for traveling This is wonderful device for traveling. It's small and easy to use and pack into suitcase. I highly recommend it for leisure or business travel.

Great little machine Works as described, super easy, plus I can store it away during while not in use - unlike the competition which requires a constant night table area.

I like the Sleep 8 I like the Sleep 8. It is easy to use, does a good job of sanitizing my CPAP mask, hose and humidifier tray and it seems durable. The zipper on the bag sticks a bit on closing, but works if I am careful with it.

Stinky hot mess We, too, overwhelmed with stink. Smells electrical and won't dissipate after cleaning. Thought maybe the rubber bag. Will try another week before returning. Very dissatisfied because of the stink. I've used 1 week awaken 3 times with headache after cleaning equipment daily. Nice try but stinks.
