Snoring - Is this a Scam?

Hi,

Snoring is an issue and has been for over a decade!

I came across this site - is it real? Or a scam? Surely a CPAP machine can’t be this cheap?

Anyone any ideas? Please advise before I waste my money 😔

I’ve got a ‘proper’ CPAP machine and it’s hard to see how that small thing would do the same thing but it’s relatively cheap so might be worth a go.

It doesn’t look like it’d be that comfortable and I’m not convinced it would stay in place.

It is not a CPAP. Where is the air pressure coming from?

It looks like a pricey nose plug. But it should not break the bank and might even work - see reviews.

The only scam is to call it a 'CPAP' - misrepresentation.

I have to buy it privately.

The real machines cost a lot - just under a grand.

I was thinking if this should be tried - the reviews seem pretty good - but don’t want to waste money 😕

If you do try please repost and let us know. I am a bit skeptical of the reviews. There are lots of Olivers, Lucy's Lots of Bennetts and Harris' and so I really dont believe all the reviews they are all very well written as well, and have very similar names but just mixed up

That’s what I thought too! They seem like they are too good to be true.

If it seems too good to be true then it usually is a scam 😭

If I have the money to buy that - I will do so and let you know.

@ButterfliesnWaterfalls have you spoken to your GP? I have my CPAP on the NHS.

I have - was referred to the sleep clinic and they said it was mild so didn’t prescribe a machine but told me to lose weight 🤣

I have been trying to lose weight for years but 😢
