0 HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted November 29, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 29, 2014 The machine I have has two filters. One is washable, the other finer filter is not.

0 Dinnard Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It's not just about snoring. Ask someone to watch when you are sleeping and see if you stop breathing.
