Hi George, wow what a great comment! Thank you so much :)

what a positive aura and a great video thanks so much mate best wishes from germany

I bought my mini air last April for travel and camping. It does run for a long time on a small battery. I had used it since July of 2021 as my main machine until about 2 weeks ago. When I replaced my turbine casing of my DS1 with a casing with out the foam. The humification is not as good as a bedside machine. The noise , I could not tell the difference. My pressures on my auto pap run on the lower side . Yes it can serve as your main machine and is a good back up machine.

Spot on! Great thanks for your daily efforts to keep us safe. Took your advice order the FP full face; took three weeks to arrive in Virginia. Worth it, totally worth it.

You're welcome Ron. Glad to hear you're enjoying the Evora full :)

Summer here in Oz. I have recently returned from being away for 17 days tent camping next to my car. I borrowed a 168Ah lithium battery charger with Anderson connection. I used my AS10 with the humidity. The battery pack has a Bluetooth adapter so I could monitor the use. Give or take a bit of leeway but generally the overnight drain was about 10%. I could top up the lithium battery by connecting my portable solar panels. This worked very well. Not sure I’d get a “travel” specific device, especially if it is noisier than the AS10.

Thanks Nick. Your videos are informative.

I've got a full-sized Phillips machine as my 'home' unit, but bought a Z2 auto machine a few years back for travel. I always knew that I had a horrible time sleeping when on planes, and when I was finally prescribed a CPAP, I figured out why! The cabin pressure in the plane seems to make my apnea a lot worse and what was a 1-2 time per night event turns into an every-5-minute event cycle on a plane. The Z2 isn't nearly as comfortable as the full-sized home machine. It doesn't adjust nearly as quickly or as comfortably as my home machine, even after many nights of tweaking and trying every possible setting. It IS, however, much easier for me to grab-and-go when I'm traveling. The battery gives me at least 2 full nights of therapy at my pressures and I got a good 5-6 hours of sleep on my last overseas flight, which was a game changer! I think about my home machine as a 1960's era Cadillac... super comfortable and plush, but sometimes you need a Chevy Volt for trips into Manhattan where the Cadillac just becomes too cumbersome to handle. If we have threats of winter weather, I plug in the travel machine to charge the battery, safe in the knowledge that I've got at least 2 nights of good rest on battery power if we lose power.

I have the air mini, and I found a hack around the noise. I just place the device on a gel type cushion. It seriously helps with the noise.

Hi CPAP Reviews! Thank you for your cogent and lucid presentation and comparison of the traveler's and home CPAP's. I finally want to get the little ResMed model. My large home CPAP is a ResMed but it is on recall. It is 5-14-22 today and last October my medical equipment supplier said that being on the waiting list and high priority with age and level of severity... that I should get a CPAP in January. I wonder if I'll ever get a replacement as the rep at ResMed said it involves over one million people! I want to go camping first time in many years and to sleep with confidence using the travelers model. The battery is almost $400. Will you ever do a demonstration of how it works camping? I will be in areas without electricity and need advice on what would be a good portable solar panel so I can recharge the battery. Also, would buying one place me further down the waiting list since I have an toxic substance free CPAP?

Nick, your explanation is spot on, air mini was more noisy when I trialled it ahead of a trip overseas. Didn’t like it nor the special mask limitation so got the S10 (upgrade from the old Icon). Humidification is important to me as I run it always on 2. So sadly air mini in future (when we travel more) might be on the cards for a few days but not full time.

I travel for work and have been using an HDM Z1 for about 4 years now. One of the best purchases I ever made. I see many others toting the recognizable bags for their home units through airports. I do keep a supply of HME's on hand. One thing that I didn't understand early on was how long they would last and how to treat one that I've only used a couple of nights. I called HDM one day and the woman in their support center explained to me that they have a desiccant inside and to wrap them up tightly with no airflow if only used a couple of nights. I find they typically last me 5 or 6 nights. When I have a morning that my airways feel a little dry, it is time for a new one. The sound doesn't bother me. Despite being almost 61, my hearing is still pretty good. There are just some background noises I can tune out more readily. I've been musing if a water tank for a Travel unit could be made with a collapsible bladder.

I trialled on a Phillips deathstation and thought it was great. In the midst of all the recalls I was ready to purchase & took a leap of faith on the Resmed Airmini, thinking if it doesn't work out as my daily driver, at least I can get a full size machine later on and just use the Airmini for travel. I haven't had major issues with noise or humidity (I don't even use humid-x) and haven't had a burning desire to upgrade. The two things I dislike is the proprietary mask/connection system and Resmed not giving patients access to their own data. Can mostly recommend this device as a full time machine, but others may have different experiences of course for the reasons outlined in the video.

G'day Simon, great to see that membership badge next your name legend. Thanks for sharing your experience with the AirMini bro. It's true, some people seem to do fine without humidification but most people do feel it improves the comfort of therapy and then there's some who simply can't use it without humidification. I was furious with ResMed when they made that proprietary connection (it's the first time ever a mask fitting was not universal). CPAP masks are already confusing but imagine if only certain masks worked with certain machines. What a nightmare. I belive you can actually write to ResMed privacy@resmed.com and request your personal data. You should do it! Cheers mate. Nicko

This was a great topic. I have tinnitis, so I actually wouldn't mind if my CPAP machine were a bit louder - I could do without a noise machine or a fan, if it were! Do you have any thoughts on weighted blankets for people with sleep apnea? I toss and turn quite a bit, and a friend suggested it might help. A Google search turns up conflicting advice, naturally. LOL

With the Phillips recall I use the Z2 Breas Travel CPAP nightly with an HME and wakeup refreshed.

I second the issue with th HME, even when using the humidx + for desert environments it left me dried out. only way I could see myself using this for more than a night or two in the winter would be with one of the standalone F&P heated humidifiers but that would still leave me without heated tubing

Hi my original cpap is the resmed s9 fixed pressure with humidifier and my second cpap is the resmed AirMini. My pressure is in the good range in this video. Comparing them for noise I would say the AirMini is a little more louder from the fan/motor but thought the sound from humidx was more noticeable than the fan/motor. However I would note that the humidx level of noise and humidity would change quite a bit depending on the environment. For example on a night that had frost warning (very cold by Melbourne standards) there was a lot more noise and water droplets in my nasal mask and my noise was getting very cold while be no problem in an air conditioned room. The other issues with the humidx for full time use are, you feel like you are dangling from your nose and you can’t not tell when it needs replacement (I wish they had a coloured dye on it that changed colour with usage)

The Reps at Resmed told me that the mini was meant to be used to full-time, when my machine was recalled

I use my airmini as my full-time machine, under the advice and care of my doctor. He felt the mini was better than nothing, even without the humidification. I keep bottled water by my bed, if I do wakeup with serious dry mouth I don't have to go far for water. A good chin strap seems to have helped alleviate some of the dry mouth. I just got my latest email from Philips, same old same old-it's been how long now-six months? I don't think it's any louder than my DS1 was, and I do travel, it's so easy to pack. And I've been told it's much quieter than all the noise I made before cpap therapy, so all is good.

I have severe rem obstructed apnea oxygen levels plummeted to 60% for close to 2 hours in my sleep study - how do I assess my oxygen levels going forward?

I wondered if a travel CPAP was worth it. Since I'm hearing impaired, the noise wouldn't bother me, but hubby is a light sleeper. Also, I have taken my ICON with me to Europe with no issues, so I think I will stick with the larger unit for travel. Thanks for this video. Btw: most CPAP videos are so dry and boring. Yours are not, thankfully.

I sleep with ear plugs anyway, given the noise of the mask and exhaust, and I don't use humidification at all (just heated tube on the main machine, and no Humidex disc on the travel one). Therefore, both my AirMini and AirSense 10 machines serve very much the same purpose. The trick with the AirMini is to put it much lower than the bed/head, like on the floor. It reduces the noise of the machine but also breathing noise inside the mask. One difference however between the fixed and portable machine: data/stats available. Not much available on the AirMini, compared to the AS10 (with or without third-party software).

@sebastien4116

I think they may have suggested 7 years if only used occasionally, as a travel machine, as the blower has a life expectancy in hours, rather than elapsed time. The issue Resmed have is that they state "design life" of 5 years for the blower of many of their machines, while their warranty is never 5 years. In the UK (and maybe in the EU), products are supposed to last a suitable time and built to quality, regardless of warranty, so a blower stopping working after say 4 years would mean to be eligible to a free replacement from Resmed or from the retailer... They haven't thought that through.

It's true to some extent: the AirMini is designed to only use some specific masks, because the tube is different. I believe it was a way for Resmed to make money as opposed to true requirement, and it's of course anti-competitive too (can't use other brands). However, some cheap adapters are available to use normal tubing with the AirMini. Note that there would be no humidity in that case, as the "humidifier" is built into the custom Resmed tube, but it doesn't work that well anyway.
