Hi Lisa @techi, I use the SoClean 2 unit that sits next to the CPAP machine. Just have to take the mask off in the morning and put it in the SoClean unit with the hose still connected and close the lid. It sanitizes the mask, hose and humidifier. I have so many "morning" routines that I didn't want to add mask cleaning as another one. I think there is still a monthly cleaning/washing of the mask and hose but it sure saves a lot of messing around for me. It is spendy at $319.00 but I figured I'm in it for the long haul and I will get my money's worth.
I have the Dreamware full face CPAP mask and I like that it does not fit over the nose but snugs up to the nose so you can still breath through the nose or the mouth. I'm on the third week with it and still getting adjusted but I do like it.
