I need to get one, and I'm having difficulty choosing one that's light (for travel) AND has C-Flex...

I use a RemStar Pro (C-Flex) by Respironics. It has almost 12,000 hours on it and I have never had any trouble with it. I used to travel extensively and took this unit with me. It comes with its own case that accomodates the unit, mask, and hosing. It is quiet and works extremely well. If they don't make this particular model anymore, I would still recommend the Respironics line. They are bullet proof. Hope this helps a little.

I'm not familiar with C-Flex, but I have used a Puritan-Bennett Goodknight 420G for the past three years, both for travel and everyday, and it's just great! It's lightweight, much quieter than any other I've used, and it can be used in other countries with only a plug adapter.
I got mine from http://www.cpap.com --they have the machine I use on sale for $254 right now! I don't know about C-Flex, though. There is another machine a little further down the page that says it has that. Whatever it is, do you really need it for travel? I have really enjoyed being free of the bulk and noise of previous machines!
You must have a current (within one year) prescription to buy CPAP.

I see C-Paps, C-Flexs, Bi-Paps. V-Paps, day in and day out and I agree with Barry. For the C-Flex ability and travel go with the respironics RemStar Pro M-Series with C-Flex. The best thing about this is that for short trips and if you can go without your humdifier, you can detach your blower from the humdifier to make it very small.

You should check with your doctor or whoever recommended you use a c-pap. They can help you decide what is best for you. Not someone on the internet.

Please see the web page for more details on CPAP.
