Frances Knight replied to Frances Knight's discussion Air Sense 10 - changing pressure settings

Jonathan replied to John's discussion Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry

"I previously had a DeVilbiss Sleepcube and the dehumidifier did sometimes run dry. On the other hand I now have an AirSense 10 and it never runs dry, and I've had the humidity turned up high."
