- What's up guys, long time no see.
Nick here again, from CPAP reviews.
I've been vacant for the last eight months,
I've been traveling around Australia,
around 30,000Ks, seen the whole thing,
and now I'm back again.
So, I do apologize for not doing a video,
but I have been having an absolute ripper of a time.
Now, before I left, I was doing a video on the BMC Luna IQ
and then I promised part two and part three,
which I'm gonna get around to.
But, I thought I'd just go back to the Luna IQ,
the machine, automatic machine made by BMC.
Best machine under a $1000 in Australia by a long way,
it's now $849 for the complete package.
Which includes your mask,
your upgraded heated tube, hose, the works.
So 849 bucks and you pick that up without the pay.
Which means you can pay it off in four installments,
which is great.
Now, I thought I'd do an unboxing
because people love seeing these sort of unboxing
it shows you exactly what you're gonna get
so you know what you're in for.
And then, I'm just gonna really hook it up quickly
so you can see me do it, watch how easy it is,
and then we're gonna go to part two and part three
which I've been promising for a long time.
So sticky bit, let's go.
All right.
Here she is, looking schmick.
Now this is a little gray travel bag that it comes in.
As you can see, this is the sort of size,
this is what you're gonna be carrying around
if you're going through airports,
or you're taking it with you on a vacation,
or wherever you go with it.
This is sort of how it all packs up.
There's plenty of room for your mask and stuff inside.
Now, little zipper on the top.
And when you do that,
you're gonna have your quick start manual there.
You're not gonna to need that
'cause you gonna be getting all the great info
from me on how to do it.
But, if you do wanna, you know, revert back to that,
you're more than welcome to.
And then also this little pocket in the side here,
there is a more detailed standard manual,
with a little spare filter, for the machine.
Obviously important to be changing your filters every sort
of four to six months, less if you can
but four to six months at a bare minimum
to make sure that that dust isn't getting into your machine.
It's just gonna make the motor noisier over time.
Now, once we've got in the machine,
you can see machines mostly padded, okay?
To protect the machine,
especially the buttons on the top here and the scraper.
That has just not been padded here on the top.
A spot for your zip up tube in,
a spot for your power supply
and you're asking me would should as well as when it's
facing there.
So let's get it out, and have a looksee.
The tubing.
Yeah, most of the time you're gonna get this with,
with a mask that's gonna be included.
They normally include the mask with it.
So, I've already got my mask over here,
but normally you'll have a mask with it
and you'll be able to choose your nasal pillow mask,
your nasal mask, or your full face mask
and like I said, it comes all inclusive in the cost of $149.
So this is our little set up here.
Now what we're gonna do is,
we're just going to put the power supply in.
I've got mine ready to go here with a little extension cord.
Bang, right in the back there 24 volt machine.
So it will plug any power supply power point
around the world.
You just got to have both the adapter for the power point,
depending on which country you're in.
But it will work in any country.
Secondly, we're just going to get our tubing,
tubing just connects here to the back.
There's only one spot I can go,
just sort of wiggle that down.
Now your package is probably gonna come
with the heated tube upgrade kit.
So your chimney itself will have a little power supply
for it that we'll be able to plug into a power point,
and that way in winter time or in those cold
if you're in a cold climate,
you can turn that heated tube on,
and it's got a copper coil that runs through it.
Well, that copper coil is gonna do is
it's going to start what we call rain out,
which is when water builds up in the tubing.
It's not very nice.
And it also make the air a little bit warmer for ya,
just a bit more, bit more of a comfort thing,
but it will have the standard tubing as well.
You just switch the power off and you've got standard
tubing, non-heated for when it gets hotter.
All right so, put my tubing up.
Next thing I'm gonna do is
just fill out the water chamber,
so it just slides out from the front here.
This is your little humidification chamber or water chamber.
You can just pull the latch at the front,
open that up, like so,
it's a nice,
it's super easy to clean this chamber
I love this chamber.
It's not hard to open up,
It's very simple clicks back down, lift it up,
fill that up to the little max level here,
close the lid, place that back in.
And then what you're gonna do
just grab your cpap mask,
work it in your nose or on your nose or around
your nose, depending on which mask you got,
plug it in here, hit the power button.
And now,
I know it's not the most attractive thing in the world,
but at least the lights are off
and you're sleeping, mostly.
And then when you're ready to stop,
you just press and hold the button down
for one, two seconds.
And it's as easy as that.
So how easy is that?
You can get that whole set up and have it going within
literally, probably about three minutes
and yeah and you're off and running.
Now, this is the fully automatic machine,
so, it is going to adapt to your breathing,
to your apnea, to your snoring of a nighttime.
So the pressure itself as your breathing the machine's
picking up that information through the flow sensor,
the machines using its algorithm to work out specifically
what pressure's required at every minute of every night.
And it's gonna regulate that pressure to make sure
that you've got a nice even breathing.
And if you've got nice, even breathing,
majority of the time, you get to sleep
really really well, soundly
and you are gonna be quiet when you are sleeping
and you are going to wake up,
hopefully feeling a whole lot better
and that's the feedback that everyone sort of presents.
Obviously takes a little bit of time
sometimes getting used to wearing a mask and,
and obviously sleeping with tubing and the machine,
but the end of the day,
I think it's a small price to pay for
a really good healthy night's sleep.
It's gonna add years to your life
and obviously the Mrs is gonna be, or the Mr,
is going to be really really happy,
that you're nice, sleeping nice and soundly
and not restless and moves, moving around.
You're not gonna be snoring
and that means partner's going to get a good night's sleep,
you're gonna get a good night sleep.
Happy marriage, happy life, away you go.
So that's it set up, ready to go.
Easy, easy peasy, Japanesey.
I'm going to leave it there 'cause now I'm just
waffling on.
Let's go on part two, right?
Let's delve into the actual settings
and that way I'm gonna show you the patient settings or
how to change a few little things just to make it
a bit more comfortable.
And then we're gonna go into part three
like I normally do which is,
getting a little bit more technical,
but it's definitely worthwhile,
if you want to really customize your therapy
so you're getting the most out of it.
Alright.
Thanks for watching.
It's good to be back.
I hope you're all doing well and yeah, all the best.
Cheers.
