Love the idea to mark the water chamber and fill at an angle! The manufacturer FAILED with this design! Imagine trying to fill it with a tremor.

[@RespShop]

Thank you! Yes, filling the chamber requires way too much coordination for users of all ages and abilities, but especially for seniors.

That fill line hack is the best yet. My water chamber is hard to open and won’t stay open - it snaps shut while trying to fill it ! And it doesn’t like to sit level, either. What a bad design ! And I sure do wish they’d made a better grip for pull it out of the machine.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for watching! Glad you found the fill line hack useful!

[@Resist4]

I don't have a problem removing the water chamber. Remember you have to squeeze it down so it unclips, to pull it out. Easy peasy.

[@donpeterb]

Happens to me as well, doesn’t stay closed. I was used more to the resmed10

[@kiltedpiper98]

The mark fill line and fill the reservoir when closed was AWESOME.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for watching!

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

Why you dont put water in when its on the table and close the lid.. same thing..

[@kiltedpiper98]

@@OriginalThisAndThat it sits at an angle and getting it tight on that spot without spilling is a bit of a pain. Like it showed in the video.

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

1. Close the lid before moving, simple. 2. Connect the hose first to the adapter to avoid unwanted bending stress while placed first in the Airsense, after that connect the adapter into its place. 3. Put it in plastic bag and close it to avoid dust going in, also makess it lighter. 4. You need to clean your house, its causing most likely allergic blockiness in your airways. 5. Yes, thats in the manual. I would also check the airfilter pad more ofter and there is also good options for carbon filters which are thin, just cut a fitting piece..

[@ronspi]

Brilliant! Thank you for the ideas. In hack 1: You have to guess where to place the perpendicular line. In hack 2, attaching the corner adapter to the hose first and then to the unit is better and safer. In hack 3: if you place the faceplate without the humidifier, you have to remember to disable the proper functions in the Client Settings on the machine, or else the humidifier plate will warm up without water.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for your feedback! We should mention for hack #3, the side panel automatically disables the humidifier when inserted.

[@Resist4]

@@RespShop I'd rather just use the included water chamber and turn off the humidifier plate, instead of having to pay for the insert, which isn't covered under insurance.

[@weavrmom]

These are excellent! Going off to do the two things I didn't know already. Thanks!

[@RespShop]

Glad you thought so! Feel free to share some of your tips and tricks to help you fellow CPAP users!

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Fantastic!! I finally learned how to enter Clinician Settings -- told my Pulmonary doctor that pressure goes up too high. Now I can enter this mode to lower top pressure and raise the ramp up pressure by 1 to get the Goldilocks Effect for my CPAP therapy.

[@spirit_science5785]

How do you do this?? We can’t figure it out!

[@cbumbaugh7364]

I just received my 11 today. Had the 10 for 5 years.

[@marvinjenkins4901]

Do you like the 11? I only been using mine for 1 month.

[@hotmessbeauty220]

​@marvinjenkins4901 Yes I actually like it better than the 10. My setting is 11, and my events are always under 1. It seems the air flow is softer as well.

[@U2WB]

The 10 didn’t perform as well but I think it was a superior design physically.

[@hotmessbeauty220]

Yesterday my doc lowered my setting from 11 to 9...its even more comfortable now, I was having air in my belly in the mornings. So much better now.

[@marvinjenkins4901]

@hotmessbeauty220 I got a follow up with my Dr. this month. I will see if that is feasible for me. I noticed more gas since I started using my airsense.

[@royestrada777]

Ty 4 the video. My place gets dusty from baby powder so I was thinking of maybe buying the side panel for my AirSense 11, but when I read the reviews on your website nobody seems to buy it to keep the dust out. They buy it b/c they are not using their humidifier, so I'm a little confused. At least for now, b/c of this video, I'll start using a plastic bag every week when I wash my CPAP. Thanks again!

[@RespShop]

You're welcome and thank you for watching! The side panel can keep dust out when you're washing the air outlet. At 1:09, Reuben pulled a part out of the AirSense 11 - that's the air outlet which connects the CPAP tubing to the machine. The air outlet can be washed but when it's removed from the machine, it leaves a hole. Here's a link to what the air outlet looks like: www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/machine-parts/resmed-air-outlet-for-airsense-11-cpap-p-1697.html That's just another use for the AirSense 11 side panel 😊

[@royestrada777]

@@RespShop Thx 4 taking time 2 explain. Every wk i take out the air outlet 2 wash & clean. Thx

[@RespShop]

@@royestrada777 You're very welcome!

[@user-bo1hz1bl6l]

WHy on earth did they change the bit where the tubing joins the body of the machine? I trialled the Resmed 10, then bought the 11 thinking I was buying a better model! Wrong!

[@RespShop]

Thank you for watching! Yes, that's a question we'd like to know the answer to as well. The 90 degree connection for the AirSense 10 heated tubing was a great design esp since the hose connects to the back of the CPAP. Not a smart move

[@goostador]

The two hoses I have connect directly to the back parallel the floor easily. For me the 90 degree elbow is not needed.

[@jmurphy6767]

How does the side panel disable the humidifier?

[@RespShop]

When inserted into the machine, the side panel automatically turns off the humidifier so you don't have to go into your humidifier settings to disable it.

[@cghillma]

The RESPSHOP does NOT ship ResMed products into Canada.

[@RespShop]

Yes, unfortunately we cannot ship ResMed products out of the US. We do carry many other brands (Fisher & Paykel, Philips Respironics, etc.) that we can ship internationally.

[@Resist4]

What about angle adapter hack for a heated tube? Does anyone make one for this machine? And why use that waterless side chamber, can't you just use the regular water chamber without water and turn the humid pad off?

[@RespShop]

The angle adapter hack doesn't work with the heated tube b/c the heated tube has a chip on the machine connection end. When plugged in, this chip helps the AS11 recognize the heated tube and enables certain humidifier settings. ResMed has not made a special angle adapter for the heated tube. Sure, you can just use the regular water chamber and turn the humidifier off.

[@Resist4]

@@RespShop I meant what about making an angle adapter hack for the heated tube. I know the hack in this video doesn't apply because it doesn't have the electrical connection.

[@tommcdonald2805]

I need to filter out the neighbor's cigarette smoke.....is there an activated carbon filter out there or a hack for this?

[@RespShop]

Sorry, we don't know of any activated carbon filter for CPAP but maybe you can look into an air purifier with carbon filter.

[@joeygirl5295]

where do I order the tube adapter

[@RespShop]

Here's the link to the tube adapter: www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/tubing/airmini-cpap-tube-connector-p-1384.html Thanks for watching! Let us know if you have any questions about the adapter.

[@tennesseeterri]

You can slow down the video if you need to. I speed most videos up because they talk too slow or just too long.

[@Nunyabizn3ss]

As previously mentioned, you can slow or speed up the video. Select the gear icon, and choose the playback speed you desire. There is also the option to pause the video.

[@williegarland8888]

Don’t Let them give you a cpap machine that they can control from their office. They shut off the tube heating without telling me. After a month of an ice cold lung causing me a lot of pain during the day, I finally figured out what they did to me. I am considering suing them. I almost went to the hospital over this.

[@RespShop]

Sorry that this happened to you! We hope you received a proper apology from them and an explanation of why they thought they can make adjustments without first letting you know. For people reading this: If you're concerned about your supplier making changes without telling you, put the CPAP on airplane mode.

[@ziraffa5364]

@@RespShop Can they still get our sleep data if we set it to airplane mode?

[@RespShop]

@@ziraffa5364 If the machine's set to airplane mode, it can't transmit you data.

What’s the song?

[@RespShop]

Hi, the song is "Okay You Wanna See." It's a stock music track :)

[@Eric_In_SF]

Hack one is unnecessary. What kind of idiot would fill it up while it’s sitting on a counter and then lift it up to simply close it. The example is done as awkward as possible and anyone who’s had trouble with this has more serious issues to worry about. And filling it from the spout is kind of a no-brainer. And you don’t need to draw a line on it. You just use the bulbous spot and pour a little bit over.
