Ridiculous Return Policy
The Soclean 2 machine I purchased turns out not to be 100% compatible with my CPAP machine. They won't allow me to return it because I opened the box. The only way I was able to discover the compatability issue was to open the box and read the instructions. Catch 22! This addition to my original review is in response to The CPAP Store's rebuttal to the above review. The seller disagrees with my contention that the product is not compatible with my CPAP machine, based on the fact that with an adapter, I can use the product as a stand alone machine. I chose this product, because it can be permanently connected to the CPAP machine and set to run automatically, daily. This machine cannot do this with my particular CPAP machine. Therefore, it is not compatible for the way that I intended to use it. I asked to return it either for a refund or a product that can connect, as advertised. My request was flatly denied with no effort to help me. The support specialist mentioned that it could be used as a stand alone with an adapter. Even though I provided her with the make and model of my CPAP machine, she made no effort to assist or even tell me the specific adapter that I would need and how much it would cost. Regarding the explanation for the no return policy, there is a big difference between returning a used respiratory product and one where the box was opened to read the instructions. Who returns a product without opening the box to examine the product. In my opinion, this is a no return policy. I've never dealt with a company less responsive to the needs of its customers
Response from CPAP Store USAJul 23, 2025
Thank you for your feedback, but we must clarify several inaccuracies in the review. The SoClean 2 is fully compatible with a wide range of CPAP and BiPAP machines, as clearly outlined in the product description page on our website and by our friendly CPAP Specialist. It can be used either as a standalone sanitizer or connected directly to CPAP or BiPAP machine, depending on user’s preference who chose to use heated tubing. Again, if the CPAP or BiPAP setup includes heated tubing, an adapter may be required — which is also clearly noted in the product description on the website and this information was provided by our specialist during communication. The adapter is available for purchase starting at $19.99, depending on the CPAP or BiPAP machine model. Majority of the customers do not use heated tubing therefore they do not require an additional adapter. Our staff clearly explained this in the email exchange and offered support. Sharing inaccurate information here “not compatible” is not true and not appreciated. Regarding the return: our return policy is transparent and in full compliance with FDA and CDC health recommendations and regulations which prohibit the return of any opened or used respiratory product due to infection control laws. This policy is stated in our return policy. Once a product has been opened or used, we legally cannot accept it for return. Regarding the referenced 3-day response concern, internal records indicate that a reply was issued within the standard response timeframe. The store’s typical communication turnaround is 24 to 48 business hours, not including weekends or observed holidays when the office is closed. Patience is appreciated as support inquiries are addressed in the order received. We are always committed to supporting our customers and providing accurate guidance. At the same time, we must adhere to federal health and safety regulations designed to protect all customers. If you’d like to continue the conversation or need further assistance, we welcome you to reach out to us directly at [email protected]. However, if you feel more comfortable shopping elsewhere, we respect that decision and wish you the best.
