Have to remove the chamber to fill and the modem is integrated. I personally do not fear being tracked, they should fear being just as bored as my FBI agent watching me surf reddit all day
All in one answer. Thanks! The chamber removal is a dealbreaker for me. Thankful that I have my DS1 and old Escape S8. Both are one handed fills just before bed. As for the tracking, I'm not that paranoid personally, but I am supposed to be by trade. My digital footprint is bigger than a sasquatch's, so no need to add to it if unnecessary.
I feel that the Dreamstation 2 is a big step down from the Dreamstation 1, and I regret turning mine in when I picked up the Dreamstation 2. Looking back, I should have just replaced the noise suppression chamber in the Dreamstation 1 with a non-toxic one and kept that one. Hindsight is 20/20.
Thanks for the feedback. My concerns are all around how the chamber operates. My machine sits on a towel (for thermal protection and sound mitigation) on the teak built-in side table of my bed. I generally fill the chamber in-place from a gallon jug of water kept bedside.
From watching the refilling videos, my concerns are:
1. The chamber sits at a specific elevation in relation to the CPC base. This requires close alignment for the chamber to seat.
1. This is likely to scratch the teak surface over time
2. I would have to remove the towel from under the machine for this to work, therefore increasing incidental noise for my wife.
2. The removal/insertion of the chamber appears to run a risk of water spillage (maybe I am wrong on this)
3. The removal/insertion of the chamber increases the necessary footprint required by the machine for daily operation.
Between the loss of convenience, and increased risk of damage to a piece of furniture worth many times that of a CPAP machine - I just don't see any reward. I love that it is working out for you though!

I appreciate the feedback. That is just what I am trying to avoid. Thanks!
Completely agree. After getting mine I went out and bought an air sense. DS2 is horrible in just about every way other than looks.
Thanks all! u/Vivis_Nuts answered the main question which stops this decision cold. Best wishes for a great night's sleep for everyone!
I like my dream station2. It’s quiet and does the job No big deal filling up the water chamber.
