ResMed AirSense 11 - Honest Review 📝

[@dthievin]

The best feature for any machine would be to have a pause switch. Maybe with less ramping upon return.

I’ve had mine going 5 mins and 100% agree. Seems like a quality machine though

You do the best reviews of all things having to do with CPAPs. I am glad you put in a score for corporate culture. The lack of interest from many corporations in developing and maintaining a good community-business relationship worries me. I would patronize and pay even slightly higher prices if I thought a company was ethical and cared about its relationship with its customers.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, thanks for your wonderful comment. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and i appreciate the support. I agree, i would gladly pay more also and i think most would if they felt appreciated and received excellent support and assistance. Best wishes. Nicko

[@MrAquinas1]

@@CPAPReviews One thing that goes overlooked is that these manufacturers just keep making the same nonadjustable humidification systems. Some of us need lots of humidification for particular medical conditions. But they all treat this issue as an afterthought.

New CPAP user here and I have to say you've been extremely helpful in alleviating many of my concerns with various devices. Thanks so much and please keep it up! As a techy myself, I would love to see a video about modifying / upgrading air filtration since it's such a big issue. Just an idea 🙂

[@jayriver1644]

Same thoughts here, great suggestion!

[@Nickyknoxx]

As a new CPAP user what machine did you go with for your first?

[@Vgp-rp4iu]

My wife and I both have the 10 and they both sit on my nightstand and I can honestly say I can't hear them at all. Like aside from the time air sound from the mask the machine itself makes absolutely no noise. I think it's pretty incredible there is a motor and fan inside there that can put out that amount of air and be virtual silent. Pretty impressive

[@CPAPReviews]

Certainly one of the best mate. Cheers

[@pierregalea411]

Hello from Canada ! I very much appreciate your CPAP reviews ... and glad to know that others also like to look inside the machines to better understand them. I have bought both Philips DM-1 & Resmed 8, 9, 10 elite & auto ... I also use OSCAR ... am a member of the Apnea board forum etc. We all really DO need to understand our therapy and equipment better, in order to optimize therapy & health ... Nick, many people out there have other conditions which also impact their health ... (pulmonary fibrosis, hiatal hernias, GERD, bruxism etc.) ... so, that the collective health impact on their health, over and above CPAP therapy, may be far greater, and more critical. Sleep apnea is linked and related to other health conditions ( pulmonary fibrosis, GERD, lower esophagus issues, etc.) ... So, many side effects may seem puzzling if one cannot connect the dots ... Many respiratory problems are rather complicated ... We all need better information and data to understand and consequently correct our behaviour moving forward ... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us ... You make a huge difference in people's lives ... Vulnerable People who do not always get accurate information or a fair deal from the product reps etc. ... Thank you

Thanks brother. Appreciate that comment :)

[@Stardustceiling]

I just got my new AirSense 11 yesterday. I'd been on a wait list since December after I'd received my diagnosis. It's my first cPAP machine ever, and after seeing your review, I felt that I lucked out with a good machine. Because I did this through my health insurance, they didn't give me any choice of what machine I got. So I felt after seeing this review that I would have an easy time with this machine, and I did. My first night I was able to be compliant and use it straight through. It is a quiet machine and is easy to use, also the app synced up with no problems and tracked my results. I'm so grateful you do these reviews because it makes it so much easier to be a cPAP newbie with this information. Thanks. 🌺

Fist night straight through...I still can't get used to it 3 weeks in

[@Stardustceiling]

@@JS-te4gz I sure hope it gets easier for you J S. It's SO worth it for our health. Do whatever you can to make it work, because the alternative is just having your health go downhill as you age. Untreated sleep apnea is linked to so many preventable health problems. Yours may be set at a higher pressure, and maybe that's why it was easier for me? I'm not saying I love having to use a machine. I'd so much prefer not having the sleep apnea in the first place. 😉 But this machine makes it fairly easy to do. My Mom has an older ResMed machine, and I much prefer this newer model to hers.

Well, I couldn’t wait for the AirSense 11 after choking on Phillips foam for 4 years. I bought the F&P SleepStyle and am really happy with it. I would have waited for the AirSense 11, but nobody could tell me when it would be available. Glad I didn’t wait.

[@CPAPReviews]

G'day mate, yeah it's hard to know when they will be available. Probably mid 2022 supply should improve. Certainly nothing wrong with the Sleepstyle :-). Very nice! Best wishes. Nicko

[@catherinebiermann295]

Thanks for the review. I was diagnosed with severe Sleep apnea two weeks ago. I delayed having a sleep study for several years because I didn’t want to have to wear a mask to sleep. I convinced myself I probably didn’t have apnea even though I’ve not slept well for many years. Also my brother and sister use CPAP machines and my late father almost certainly had apnea. So now that I know I do have it and there is hope for me to sleep better the RT tells me this machine you reviewed is the one I should have and it backordered. Because I’m in the severe category I’ll be prioritized for the machines that do come in. He said it would likely be a month or two. Now I can’t wait to get started on it and your review was very helpful.

[@CPAPReviews]

Nice one Catherine! Hopefully it arrives soon. Nick

I have a virtual appointment with my sleep doc next wk and hoping to get an Rx for it as well. Currently have an S10 which is a wonderful machine, and just found out from my medical supplier that I was actually eligible for a new machine almost a year ago April 2021. The bright news about that is now I can hopefully get the new one as I would have chosen another S10 auto back then. Hope the smaller fan won’t be a problem.

[@Aortadetroit]

Keep up the good work mate! I literally just told my wife two minutes ago that well-intentioned people like yourself were worth a hundred Doctors. You've forgotten more than my Doc ever knew as far as I can tell. She doesn't give me anywhere near the depth of information you do here. She's a lovely lady too but hearing how things work from the people that actually use them is so much more useful. Screw Resmed if they don't like it. We pay good money for these machines and we are all entitled to have an opinion on them!

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for the beautiful comment. It made my day

[@chriskeo392]

Do these work that well?

[@LarryB-inFL]

2 weeks ago I replaced my Airsense 10 with an Airsense 11. These are what I have observed: 1. Yes, the water tank on the 11 is WAAAY smaller than it is on the 10. I now have to refill it ever night. AND, it is less convenient to open and to fill. 2. The Airsense 11 is reporting a MUCH higher leakage rate. That seems to be because it ALWAYS has a lot of pressure in the tube. See below! 3. When I switched from CPAP to APAP on the 10, I found that the "Auto Off" function was "iffy". Sometimes/often, after I awoke I would remove the mask (Airfit P10 pillows) and it would just pump out a continuous low pressure stream, rather than turn off. To make it turn off, I would have to take a BIG inhale as I removed the mask. On the 11, which is also in APAP mode, when I awake, if I remove the mask there is instantly a HUGE out-rush of air, clearly FULL VOLUME, and it then shuts off. It does not at all seem to run at a low pressure like the 10 did. I am NOT at all happier with the 11 than I was with the 10. The ONLY thing that made Me upgrade (besides it being free after 6 years!) is that it again can/does upload/transmit data to ResMed.

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

Hi Larry, I just got my Airsense 11 a week ago. This is my first CPAP machine. I have had issues every night with water in the tube. I've adjusted the humidity and tube temp and I'm still waking up in the middle of the night having to empty the tube. Also I'm getting air leaks like crazy. Did you situation get better with this machine?

[@tobywinter1]

You are always supposed to change the water every night anyway according to everything I've heard and read.

[@jenniferjaku3419]

My ResMed 11 water chamber leaks air every time I use it. It’s so frustrating!

[@debbiebridygham9230]

Great review, thanks. ResMed should consider: * The simple On/Off button is likely super reliable, but those of us with small pets would prefer a design that doesn’t allow our pets to randomly turn our units Off during the night or On during the day. Perhaps a two button design where both had to be pressed, or a touch panel that would allow the unit to be swiped On or Off would be much appreciated. * Absolutely, a more modular design, the humidifier is a high failure item, as many of us are quite aware, a swappable humidifier would be much better, a port that would allow an optional WiFi module, and so forth * Hopefully the units Bluetooth feature will allow wireless blood oxygen and other sensors to be integrated into the unit reporting and even therapy

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Debbie, thanks for your support and feedback. Some fantastic suggestions there! Or 'cat proof' tubing haha. I had a whole bunch of suggestions in my first recording but i cut them all out as the review was like 40 minutes long haha. I also had the modular design with easy to swap components :-). Lots of love. Nicko

[@michiheinz2024]

What would I do without your videos. Sleep apnea is a completely new topic for me and I'm just sucking up all the information I can get. Your channel has gotten me the most so far. Mainly because you show how to integrate a CPAP/APAP treatment into everyday life, even into vacation (especially camping). I am so grateful and just want to say thank you at this point. Many thanks and greetings from Germany. By the way: I love your accent, it makes the videos even better!

[@badoldbiker368]

Great review Nick. For me the hose fitting change to straight out and no swivel is a step backwards, the 90 degree fitting and swivel on the AirSense10 offers a lot of flexibility for positioning of the machine. I would have a sharp bend in the hose in my current machine position with a straight out hose, I think the hose may fail after time with a sharp bend right at the fitting. It may have a smaller footprint but having to have more space for the hose pointing straight out the back of the unit would be a PITA for me. Other than that 80/1OO is a good rating.

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks buddy, always enjoy reading your comment. Yeah some great observations you're making. The original video went for an extra 10 min and i mentioned a whole lot of stuff similar but it was just dragging on a lot so i took it out but you're spot on mate. Cheers

[@Kandralla]

That 90° swivel, the filter and to a lesser extent the 270° turn the air has to make in the humidifier are probably the biggest obstacles to the device maintaining pressure. When the flow rate is high (like when you're inhaling) those are going to cause a pretty substantial loss of pressure at your mask that ResMed has to compensate for by either running the turbine faster (meaning louder, and hotter) or going to a bigger turbine. My guess is that the swivel was eliminated to make it possible for them to use the smaller turbine without having to run it so fast that it makes the device scream while you're inhaling. This is also likely why the filter isn't that great (better filter = bigger pressure drop = harder working turbine). Believe it or not, we're asking for quite a lot from a device the size of an alarm clock and in any other industry the solution would be a bigger, louder blower attached to much larger tubing; essentially, everything that makes a PAP device desirable (small, quiet, comfortable to use) is 180° in the opposite direction of what you'd do to make a device that maintains steady pressure.

[@LarryB-inFL]

Completely agree about them dropping the swivel!

[@davidwilson2214]

I cant use the 90 degree fitting that I have been using on my AS10? Does the 11 use the same hoses as the 10? Who cares about the swivel as long as you can use a 90 degree fitting. Please help me on this if I am not understanding how it works. Should get my 11 in a few weeks. Thank you !!!!!!!

[@WickedG5150]

Buy a standard 22mm cuffed hose with a standard 90degree elbow. Climateline will not work with it, though. :(

[@StinkySobaccos]

I’ve watched a few of your videos, but this is the one that really impressed me. I’ve been using an AirSense 10 since 2015 and am very pleased with it. When it is time to replace it, I now have some confidence that the AirSense 11 will provide at least the same decent service that I have received from the 10. Thanks for your review and especially for attempting to keep the CPAP manufacturers somewhat accountable for the decisions.

[@CPAPReviews]

Excellent review! I just upgraded from the older 10 to the new AirSense 11, and I had the S9 originally. The thing I have noticed about the 11 that I really like is how quite the 11 is compared to the 10. Maybe my hearing is getting worse. I cannot hear the 11 running. I am OK with the new touch screen, although it would be nice if they could make it bigger so that old people can see it better. It is not real easy to put the machine in warmup mode. I have to be very careful to put my finger on that line only. Overall, I am very pleased with the new 11. Now, when you start talking price, I think the whole CPAP industry is designed to rip people off. Don’t get me started on the price of prescriptions, especially name brand meds where there is no generic available. We all get ripped off royally! I finally told my doctor “NO” when the Medicare Gap hit me and they wanted $500 for 90 days of Jardiance. We have all got to start pushing back on medical cost ripoffs!

Hello. I've had my Airsense 11 for 6 weeks. I love it. Hadn't slept 7 hours in years. Then the sore, dry throat started. It has taken me 3 weeks to get rid of it. Then one night I woke up to find myself trying to take deeper and deeper breathes. The power cord had failed. (I notice this was a problem with #10 in the google reviews) After some discussion with Health Complex they sent me another. Today I woke up to a similar situation. However, this time when I turn on the machine instead of reaching pressure 5 and going up to 12 if needed it will only reach 4 and stay there. They are closed today for NYE so I hope on Monday this can help. I notice that most places do not have any supplies. I'm glad everyone else is enjoying theirs. Happy New Year to you all.

An EXCELLENT and fair review there, Nicko ! ...... I've owned an S8, and I still own an S9 and I have the MINI as well ( for when I do my biker holiday rides ) .... Resmed gave me the BIG $$$ run around as well when my S9 needed "attention" - so I just bought a second hand machine for $100 and swapped out the parts needed myself ( retired Marine Engineer & Mad Scientist type, here ) ... Considering the OBSCENE PROFITS that Resmed have amassed - one would have expected, perhaps naively admittedly, them to be more benevolent to their home country re pricing - but OBVIOUSLY profits mean MORE to them than integrity and / or a sense of propriety ..... Re that exact issue - I give them exactly the same degree of consideration that they give US - the Australian public, and I bought the S9 in Seppoland, as it was less than HALF the price that they were here - ( a DISGUSTING case of gouging on Resmed's part in my books !!! - VERY UN-Australian ... GGGgrrrrrr ! ) .... and I WILL more than likely do the same if and when I upgrade to the 11 as well ! ( AFTER we find the way to DISCONNECT their ability to "upgrade" - ( or to knobble ) the machine at their will ... Keep up the GREAT work son !!! XXX :)

I am a new CPAP user (went through the sleep study because I am always tired, and my Galaxy Watch 4 indicated I wasn't getting anywhere NEAR a good sleep with TONS of wakeups during the night). I got a call today from my doctor saying they are going to get an AirSense 11, but it may be 3-4 WEEKS because of availability... well I have been a lousy sleeper for this long, so I can wait... but I am really excited to hear this!!! FINALLY get so GOOD SLEEP! As soon as I heard this, I came to your channel to watch your reviews of the machine, and NOW I am even MORE excited!!! Thank you for your information!

[@Accumulator1]

Just got Airsense 11. Appreciate your thorough review. I am currently trying to get the humidification set to my liking. My main concern has been that rediculously small filter when I very first laid my eyes upon it. They tell me it is not even washable. I already know there is going to be a major problem with it during dry summer. I like the Bluetooth connection so I can monitor my progress with a downloaded app from the Play store.

Outstanding fact-based (where it can be) review, sir!! My first month with my AS11 (coming from DS1) has been phenomenal. I still have some tweaking to the settings (even more after watching to your review). I wish ResMed had an advanced mode for the MyAir data reporting system that provides the data we need and not just the pablum of "pretty" high-level scoring. I want to know what the events were not just how many. Thankfully filling the shortcomings of MyAir advanced mode, we have Oscar. I will not own a machine that keeps my data encrypted from my use which is not fair (and not HIPPA compliant). You hit all the right marks in your review and I always learn something. Please keep up the good work.

A great review, thanks. I wuld like to see a ResMed 12 have the ability to record O2 and pulse rate data directly to the SD card. Maybe by a finger or thumb bluetooth sensor. That way I could see if the CPAP settings were actually working as intended.

Great review, I have been using the 10 model since they came out and think it is a great machine, although I have the motor warning coming the display, I don't like the heated tubes or ™ humidifier and a ClimateLineAir™ I bought the end cap that is a perfect solution. You can't do that with the 11 model. Bigger on off button is a great idea as the air 10 it way to small. And think a nonswivel on tube at back of the 11 is just silly.

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for sharing your great insights and feedback mate. Nicko

[@australianbloke3934]

G'Day Nick. I've been using CPAPS for 15 years plus, the last ten years with an S9. That served me well but recently I've been waking up with a really dry mouth/throat, using a nose pillow, so reckoned it was time for an upgrade. Three days ago I visited my local Resmed shop and, after some great discussion and advice, chose an Airsense S10 with the hybrid nose/mouth mask. (There was no mention of an Airsense 11, probably because there's no stock and I needed a new machine ASAP). Well, I have to say I LOVE it. First night I didn't get the settings quite right, but next two nights I had around 8 hours good sleep with smiley green faces on the report and very few apnoea episodes. I also really like the 'My Air' app that gives me a comprehensive report, syncing about half an hour after I turn the machine therapy off. I wholeheartedly agree with you on how Aussies are being ripped off pricewise. I don't appreciate what seems to be totally unjustified. Subscribed.

Hey mate, thanks for the vids! I just ditched my Dreamstation cpap machine after little to no response from Philips. A week ago I purchased the Resmed Aiesence 11 from a company called Hart Medical Supply in Michigan. They told me the 10 was no longer available and upgraded me to the 11 and gave me an online discount to boot! This came in about a week, so no big delay problems or supply chain issues. I really like it but having dry mouth issues which I've never had before. I upped the humidity on the heated hose so I hope that solves the problem. Thanks again!

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

Al - bummer. After this review, I don't think I want the Airsense 11, with a tiny portable blower in it. I'm hoping I can replace my Airsense 10 with a new one, or perhaps a CPAP that is a modular design from another manufacturer. I liked the ResMed S9's design, especially when traveling.

[@ranatlas]

I love your reviews, especially your sense of humor and attention to detail. I have the AirSense 11. I wish the water chamber would lock or snap into place. Once on awhile after I power on the CPAP the air doesn't go through the tubing. It's recognized as an air leak, and I had to figure out the fix: remove the water chamber and put it in again. Come on, ResMed!

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks mate, yeah she certainly has a few little issues. That water chamber design is a big problem for many. Cheers

[@popeyegordon]

A statement of the *water tank capacity* was overlooked, or was done after the commercial break when I shut this off. I need more water than the Air Sense 10 offers so it runs out and gives me horrible sinus discomfort. Mostly because I sometimes sleep 9 to 10 hours so it runs out. But in winter it is even harder to avoid running out. I quickly gave up on the manual settings and let the climate control run because it is most likely to stretch the water supply the longest - it does adjust some to changing temperatures but it bottoms out trying to keep up with cold dry air. Try this, because we are forced to do something: buy an evaporative humidifier for your bedroom. NOT an ultrasonic model because they emit a white mineral dust that will clog your machine. A steam humidifier that can run all night safely with enough tank capacity will work but after trying all 3 I prefer the evaporative one with wicks that need replacing after a while. They are the most silent and use the least power. Nothing bad happens if they run out of water. Every time my tank runs dry after a solid long night's sleep I am risking a miserable day (up to three days actually) with clogged runny nose that is identical to bad cold symptoms but NO medication on the market can treat this kind of sinus reaction. Also, use a hose insulation sleeve. I actually put one over another for max insulation with less condensation.

[@Nathriel]

If you use distilled water with an ultrasonic humidifier, it is not emit white flakes everywhere; I had that problem initially too. The white flakes are dissolved minerals which are present in tap water, but not distilled water. Hope this helps.

[@popeyegordon]

@@Nathriel Note that most ultrasonic humidifiers have low water sensors that turn them off when still full if you use distilled, because they depend on the conductvity of minerals in tap water. The best help for my permanent sinus issue caused by CPAP was spending $5 grand for a heat pump system in my home. It does not dry out the air like window air conditioners. Only the evaporative humidifiers that use big paper wicks and a fan to add moisture will not put stuff in the home's air.

I have the S9 free on the NHS here in the UK had it for many years now, but finding I only sleep for 3 hrs before I wake, but manage after a cuppa to get 5 to 6 hrs in total. It’s fixed pressure so maybe that’s the problem being blasted with the same high pressure all night long. Could never afford the 11 but maybe they would give me a 10. Take care now. 🤗 p.s. Any info on the 9

[@mikeshawn5298]

Great review. Absolutely needs a split tank design. I had a System One and since I don't use the humidifier I could travel with just the CPAP unit. It was great having the extra space in the bag for carrying my meds. Somewhere I read that you can buy a special plate to replace the humidifier in the AirSense 11. Likely no benefit since it would not change the overall form factor by much.

[@paulhugglesby1115]

As always a great review Nicko. I am not sure what use the "bigger Button" would have if the machine can be set to Auto start (as i have my AS10 set to). A touch screen is not a game changer for me as i really don"t play with the settings all that much. So really don't see the benefit in upgrading to something that really isn't offering anymore than i am already getting. ResMed really need to be a bit more as a leader in the marketplace than just the same ole' same ole'.

[@dubz9409]

i just switched from the DreamStation to the ResMed 11. I was hoping for a little lower decibel level and not impressed after discovering that they're using a smaller turbine. One detail that I noticed straight away was the tube quality seemed inferior to the DS (not as flexible), and with the tube attach point at the rear of the unit, I've had to position the unit with the back facing my bed and the control panel facing away from me. Would be nice if one could input a specific date and receive a filter change reminder.

[@gavinhadley7672]

..I have a question..I’ve used Fisher & Payle CPAP machines for the past 15 or so years and they are true constant pressure machines. Being on Medicare here in the states I’m eligible for a new machine every 5 yrs. RESMED is the only machine that Medicare will cover so 5 yrs ago I went with the RESMED and could never get used to the way it “breathed” with me…the pressure being lowered as I exhaled. I also found that the changing in pressure was very noisy. Even going into the clinical menu didn’t allow time me to disable the breathing sensor feature. As a result I ending up putting on the shelf where it resides to this day. I bought a Fisher Paykel machine with no help from Medicare…that was 5 years ago so I’m once again eligible for a new machine. Here’s my question…finally right? Can the air-sense 11 be set up as a true CONSTANT PRESSURE machine? If not how can they even call it a CPAP machine? It is supposedly “continuous pressure”..thanks..

[@johnm1574]

Excellent review, thank you. But what about the foam?! It's difficult to determine of it's in contact with the airflow. If it is, it seems a certainty that over time the foam will start to deteriorate. And why not address that in this video?

[@CPAPReviews]

It's a valid question John but after 6 months on talking foam i've personally had enough. ResMed says it's safe and for the time being that's good enough for me. If you don't use an ozone you'll be fine champ. All the best. NIcko

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

I agree. That foam will eventually break down. I also believe that the non-swivel outlet out the back is a big step backward. I purchased the cover for my Airsense 10 so I can use it without the humidifier, and so it is protected when traveling. I will be looking to see if there is a similar option for using w/o humidifier. But frankly, I'm disappointed in this new unit. All the changes scream of cost cutting.

[@wcg66]

I just got one of these. It was the machine offered by the company my Dr referred me to. I've just started using it and never used any others. Looks like cool tech and works so far.

[@CPAPReviews]

Great stuff mate. Thanks for sharing your feedback

[@DanSme1]

Thanks for comparing the true size of the ResMed 11 to the 10. Based on ResMed’s marketing, I was misled to think it was larger, and thus might address my issues with humidification. I needed a larger tank. I live in a very dry mountain location. The humid tank is inadequate to get through the night. Thus in the early morning, I’m dealing with severe dry mouth and clogged sinuses. Further, the humid controls are a joke, IMO. They’re very insensitive, nothing corresponding to 1 to 8 setting. In theory (engineering), it’s a great idea, but it falls short in implementation. Is it possible I have a defective machine? Here in the US, my medical equipment supplier, using Medicare insurance, is not responsive to these kind of issues.

[@popeyegordon]

I struggle with inadequate tank capacity too, mostly because I sometimes sleep 9 to 10 hours so it runs out. But in winter it is even harder to avoid running out. I quickly gave up on the manual settings and let the climate control run - it does adjust some to changing temperatures but it bottoms out, as you know, trying to keep up with cold dry air.

They are the most silent and use the least power. Nothing bad happens if they run out of water.

[@justtinkering6713]

​@@popeyegordonI would use distilled water in the ultrasonic humidifier.

[@popeyegordon]

@@justtinkering6713 Most of them do not work with distilled because they have sensors for water level that can't detect distilled. Ultrasonic turned out to be a big mistake as the white dust clogged the filter and some got past and bogged down the motor bearings. Had to open it up and blow it out. Best for me was the Honeywell evaporative humidifier for $40 at Amazon - added a timer so it runs for just part of each night until the room humidity increases. Too much humidity and all the leather and other vulnerable materials in the room will mold.

Can I just put any SD card in there and the A11 will automatically write to it? Or do I have to set something up?

[@400_billion_suns]

So. Much. Foam. From the looks of it, many times more foam than they had in the AirSense 10. Given the situation with Phillips’ products, I think ResMed owes it to the consumer to prove why they are so confident their extensive use of foam in this new device is safer than anyone else’s. This new machine appears to have just as much inside it as the DreamStation, if not more, and if I had to guess it’s probably because the smaller turbine has to run faster and produces more high-frequency noise. There are only so many ways to make this type of foam, and almost all are some type of expanded plastic or silicone material. ResMed needs to show us what they’ve done to guarantee this stuff is different.

[@aek6396]

Good point. How do we know that ResMed won't be recalling their machines too next year because of foam issues?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hello, Thanks for you comment. ResMed will have iso testing done on the foam and they will have had to provide additional info to the FDA since the Philips recall. I agree they should find a substitute method to reduce the noise. Cheers

11 with no doubts , better software, better integration with mobile app and much better noise … I come from a 10th I was provided by the sanitary system only for one month and I don’t want to go to worse devices and I bought the 11 and pretty happy with how it works in comparison with 10th and noise. The 10th AC power supply was also noisy 11th not and smaller ac power adapter and device .

The comment about the filter is spot on. Why not have a decent air filter on it. I am tempted to cut up an N95 mask to replace the current one.

Thanks for that. If you hold it up to the sun you can pretty much see right through it. I do wonder if perhaps they have to have it like that so that enough air can pass through for the turbine or some other reason. It just seems a bit strange. Cheers mate. Nicko

2 years at 8h is 5840 hours. These only have a 2 year warranty. The insurances wont replace them before 5 years. According to a lot of people your machines start failing at 5000h (mine at 7200 when my nose started buzzing) but are supposed to last 12k hours. People are going back to their working S9's. How come they don't back the quality with a 5 year warranty in step with the insurances? I'm lucky to be able to replace my own motor and save a grand. You just us coming back to the revolving door to empty our wallets and it aint by accident.

Thanks! I fixed my slipping ResMed head strap on my N30i by fixing the position and then stapling it so no more movement, works great.

All in all the air sense 11 fits all my needs. One item that nick mentioned is the filtering system. The filter is pretty poor i capturing dust and that dust not only enters the machine but it is sent out to your lungs. In my past cpap machines I was able to place a bacterial/viral filter on the outlet before tubing was placed. It was amazing what the filter looked like after 30 days. With the current tubing connection with the outlet, such a filter won't work. so I assume that my bronchial tubes and perhaps alveoli will be dusted daily.
