ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine || REVIEW

[@TexasBrian-k1h]

Another great vid from Respshop. I started CPAP therapy a almost 6 years ago. But I travel a LOT - over 13 weeks a year (sans COVID). About 6 months after I started CPAP therapy I loved it but I determined that dragging my AirSense 10 all over the country every month was a pain and I bout the Mini. My wife also is under CPAP therapy and does a lot of international travel so we share the device. Ours has been to 3 different continents with various power adapters. It's about to go to Lima Peru in September. It probably has over 5,000 hours on it. Fantastic machine. Last year I had knee replacement surgery and had to stay overnight in the hospital. I took my Mini with me. The respiratory therapist at the hospital had never seen one before! She thought it was great!! Humidification: I agree with the vid, you have to pay for the HME filters. I typically travel only a week at a time and I use one each trip and consider that a part of life cost. My wife has done 30 days on one filter during a trip to Europe. Not cheap but worth it and you don't have to find distilled water. Tubing: There is now an adapter so you can use standard tubing and any head gear / mask you want but I don't recommend it because you cannot use the HME filters. Noise: It is a little noisy. In a hotel room I typically throw a hand towel over it and make sure it can breathe. That seems to muffle the noise. But I also have tinitus so I usually have the room AC fan on to block out the noise. Price: It is expensive and insurance, if you have it, generally will not cover the cost for a travel machine (at least in the US). But for me and my wife - not having to drag around a standard machine and having to try and find distilled water is priceless. In our minds, it has paid for itself just in that. Interface: I like the smart phone interface. Unfortunately there is no way to combine your data from your AirSense 10 or 11 into one online account so when your sleep therapist or pulmonologist reviews your ResMed on-line data there will be gaps so you will need to let them know you used the Mini for travel for those gaps. [I specifically corresponded with ResMed in Australia and they confirmed there was no way they could combine the info into one on-line data set.] If you do use it for travel - especially international - be sure to check the air filter! When my wife got back from Europe a couple of years ago, after 30 days the filter was nearly gray/brown and it was new when she left home. A lot of the places she stayed allowed smoking. 😞 If you get one I know you will enjoy your Mini for travel!

what?!? rent? is that possible? I am a distance cyclist and like to travel inn-to-inn, with camping once in a while, with everything on my bike.

So expensive!

[@cfrtravel7734]

Excellent video overview! The only thing I would change about it is the claim that the “difference in sound is minimal” or the claim that it is “still a very quiet machine” (at the 9:00 minute point). The difference in sound is far from ”minimal”, it is a VERY noticeably different (louder) compared, for example, to the ResMed AirSense 10. You WILL hear this loud whooshing sound right under your nose, from the diffusing vents around the compartment where the HumidX cartridge (which provide the humidification) is housed. Removing the HumidX cartridge makes no difference. Now, I have gotten used to this loud whooshing, but it took a long time for me to adjust to it. Also, if you sleep with a partner/spouse, be aware they will also notice that the AirMini is much louder than the Airsense 10. Something to consider.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for your feedback. The difference in noise is based on mask and pressure settings. The noise varies patient to patient. A standard full time CPAP noise level is 26.6 DBA as the airmini is 30 DBA. Thank you for watching!

[@gloriasaliba3395]

I ended up purchasing the mini and i have to say I adore the simplicity of this little beauty, not having to boil water every night to fill up the humidifier is wonderful. It started out a little noisy however I've found placing a folded towel beneath it reduces the noise and does placing it below the bed on the floor. I'll see how I still feel closer to the 30 day guarantee from Resmed. My sleep lab advised me to change the filer every 3 months however you're suggesting every month, is that correct or should i just check the colouring of the filter throughout the first and second months?

[@RespShop]

@@gloriasaliba3395 Glad to hear you're enjoying your AirMini - it's one of our favorite travel units too. Because everyone's air quality is different, we suggest checking the coloring of the filter throughout the first and second months to get an idea of how regularly you should replace your filter. Hope this helps!

[@michaelfeliciano5731]

I would be buying one of these for my travels to Europe. Does this unit take the 220V as well as 120V like in the US? My full size RESMED machine has a transformer in the power adaptor so it was no problem taking it to Spain.

[@RespShop]

Hi, the AirMini is dual voltage (100-240V) just like your full size ResMed machine. Thanks for watching and have fun in Europe!

[@Robin-hz9bn]

This is a great review but it needs to be updated because you absolutely can use your regular cpap mask with this device. All you need is an adapter for the hose and they are readily available and work perfectly. You won’t have the humidifier capabilities though.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for your feedback! We have a link in our description to an AirMini Tubing Connector Adapter that you can use to connect any mask and non-heated tube to the AirMini. We decided not to mention this in the review video b/c it's a lot of info for potential users to process.

[@beeski]

Excellent review. Thank you. Quick question I picked up the DC converter for camping and noticed that the wattage is 65w compared to the ac adapter which is 20w. Will I be using more power from my portable battery when choosing the DC adapter? Thanks!

[@ebikecnx7239]

Even the S10 on dc power, dc to dc, uses only 15W max with no humidifier. This uses the same pump, so the wattage is 7 to 15 watts. You are probably converting a battery to a.c. and then back to d.c. which is silly. Use a dc to dc converter, I do. 12v to 24v converters are $30.

[@gels1922]

why did you not mention the ADAPTER available online for the AirMini? you can use any type of hose and mask without the rip-off by Resmed?

[@jaycorbin]

Does this also work as an everyday CPAP machine (so I don’t have to spend 2 grand for both an everyday CPAP AND one for when I travel) or do I have to buy separate machines?

[@RespShop]

Hello Jay, you can certainly use this everyday. Just note it is missing a standard humidifier where you add distilled water too (which most patients need/want) Also due to the size, the unit does have a shorter life span then a standard CPAP.

The mini is louder (per my wife) than my full-sized resmed 11. Supposedly they have the same air pump, but the full size units have more foam for sound deadening. I find my full sized machine to be a smidge more comfortable, but the air Mini is better than my old travel unit, a Z2.

Does the mini draw less power than the 10 or 11? I like to camp and have a emergency battery with a dc 12v - 24v adapter for my resMed 10. I don't use the humidifier so I see the draw to the mini, but I'm not sold on it unless I could get more life out of my battery.

[@alanlempert1775]

Great video. I was considering this unit for travel plus daily use, but now I have some doubts. Is there a machine that you would recommend for daily use plus travel?

[@RespShop]

Thank you! We don't recommend using a travel CPAP as an everyday machine b/c it's louder and the motor isn't designed to work every single day for years like a home unit. If you want to know every reason why it's not a good idea, we have an article: kb.respshop.com/can-i-use-a-travel-cpap-machine-full-time/ The article also goes over important features to look for if you're set on using a travel cpap everyday. Personally I'd recommend the ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 for daily use and travel. They're really not that big and if you fly, you can bring the CPAP bag as a carry-on in addition to your personal item and carry-on. For the AirSense 10, you can remove the water tub and close off the gap that's left behind with a side cover to make the machine smaller (if you don't use the humidifier at all/don't use it when you travel). If having a small machine is very important, I suggest getting a good solid home machine for daily use and then pick up a travel CPAP when they go on sale. Breas Z2 auto travel CPAP is good if you need a quiet machine and APEX XT Auto Travel CPAP is very affordable (but louder).

[@leonardabeyta6784]

When do you think ResMed will release an updated Airmini that is commensurate with the Resmed Airsense 11. This model has been out for quite a long time.

[@RespShop]

Hi there! Unfortunately, we have no idea when ResMed will be releasing an updated AirMini. They have yet to release the AirSense 11 in the advanced modes like BiPAP or ASV. I suspect that will happen before they update the Mini, but we really don't know.

Great video and helpful! I just ordered the air mini for travel with nasal pillow & should have it the end of the week. I've been packing up the larger home unit in the zipper bag for travel dealing with locating smart water or distilled water to buy. I'm a 18 year user of CPAP and currently have the ResMed 10 for at-home use. I've heard of people complaining about the noise from the air mini compared to the home unit for obvious reasons because of the build Style. We shall see? 🤞

@blackrhino44 I traveled internationally 10 days with the air mini and found it to be a useful c-pap & very convenient alternative to packing the larger unit requiring distilled water. I used the recommended moisture disk & didn't have any dry mouth issues or sinus issues. It does create more air noise than the home unit, but not to the point of preventing falling a sleep. Other than the $900.00 cost plus buying extra accessories, I really don't have any other significant complaints. It's portable travel size & ease to operate makes it a great alternative over taking the larger home unit plus needing to locate smart water since it's impossible to find distilled water when traveling.

[@LeoDodier]

I have the ResMed Airsense 11 and the AirMini. The air mini is quite a bit louder in the airsense 11, which does bother my wife. I have tried it without the HME filters, and then, with the filters, to see if they reduce any of the noise and I don't notice much of a difference. What do you suggest?

[@RespShop]

The airmini is louder as there is not much sound proofing foam around the motor due to the size. Your provider should have advised you of the difference in noise. Unfortunley, there is nothing to assist with reducing the noise.

[@kelvintheweekend5035]

Hi Leo, just got one to take on Holiday but I find it too noisy cant get off too sleep well & my Partner has said its too loud .

[@LeoDodier]

I ordered the adapters, allowing the standard Rez med, hose to fit on the mini, and also ordered the adapter to replace the proprietorial mask and the inline filter. Since I have the same mask (N20)and standard hose on the Rez med 11, I was able to try different combinations. There was a substantial noise reduction in using my standard Res med hose and mask, it was also a significant noise reduction by replacing the inline humidifier and proprietary mask, keeping the standard air mini hose. I haven’t seen anyone comment or try this, but it does work! Night and day difference.

Hi, once opened, a single HumidX cartridge is good for 30 days max. Unfortunately there's no way to see data older than a month on the AirMini app. But your CPAP provider/doctor can access all you past data on their software if your AirMini is set up on the software. We offer this service as well: CPAP remote data download(www.respshop.com/remote-data-downloading-service-a-844.html). Basically we set your machine up on the software and then send you the CPAP report for the past 90 days. You can specify the time frame too.

I need this mashine in bipap ! Is this also in bipap version also ??????? Fir travel ???

[@RespShop]

I am sorry, currently a Travel BIPAP machine has not been manufactured.

[@oscargarcia-fraga1244]

Can people use this CPAP in an airplane?

[@RespShop]

Yes, the AirMini is FAA-approved and can be used on the plane.

[@johnsteven5544]

Went way too fast over the potable power option. Isn’t there just a simple battery we can buy?

[@RespShop]

We recommend the Zopec Universal Smart Travel Battery, weighing at 2lbs it is a multi purpose battery and can give you anywhere from 10-16 hours of CPAP use on one charge.

[@h0mbre74]

The problem with the noise is not from the device itself but from the air hose connected to the mask… where the air is expelled…

[@RespShop]

Hi, yes unfortunately the airflow noise is a problem for some users. We made a video that goes over the different accessories that can help dampen the noise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGPCop5peb6kprcsi=EdpzExVnvMUqdNuW If you're using the tubing adapter, use a standard 22mm instead of a slim 15mm tubing. Also, putting the AirMini lower than your head seems to help some users too (even though the noise is not due to a loud motor).

[@JonNewell]

I’m returning my air mini, the noise from the humidifier is unbearable and the humidifier does not provide enough humidity for me.

[@RespShop]

I am sorry to hear that! Travel machines aren't for everyone due to the humidity and noise. Some patients find benefits in using the airmini tube adapter, vcom, and using a heat moisture exchanger.

does anyone use it as their every day device?

[@RespShop]

There are some patients who use the Airmini as full time unit. Just a reminder the unit itself is much smaller than a full time unit. Which means the motor will be much smaller. Most full time units will last you up to 5 years. The airmini life span may be less than that if using it every day. Thank you for watching! We hope you enjoyed our video.

[@candilocz8847]

is it loud?

[@RespShop]

Sound is 30 DBA. A bit louder than a full time unit, due to size there is not as much sound proofing around the motor. Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed our video please don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP and Sleep related content.

Main tube is the same and it’s huge.

[@RespShop]

Thank you for watching! sorry, can you please clarify what you mean by the "main tube"?

[@djpaceeuro]

@@RespShop Is the Mini using the same tube or buoyancy as the AirSense 10?

[@RespShop]

@@djpaceeuro Not sure what you mean by buoyancy but I can answer your question about the tube. The AirMini doesn't use the same tube as the AirSense 10. It uses the AirMini Tubing which is a non-heated 15mm hose with a special end connections. The AirMini Tubing can only connect to the AirMini and to AirMini-specific CPAP masks.

Does sleep apnea cause male pattern baldness?

[@RespShop]

Some research in this area has suggested sleep apnea can lead to baldness. Sleep apnea can cause thinning of hair. The reasoning is very similar to how a lack of sleep can cause hair loss as it affects hormone levels. This would be best consulted with your Dr. Thank you for watching!

No real info. He just plays ball with himself...and us.

[@swerdna1970]

i feel like the battery kind of detracts from the whole "lightweight" and "compact" thing.

[@RespShop]

The battery we carry (Medistrom) weighs a total of 1.3lbs and is optional if backpacking, camping, or needing to use the device where there is no electricity or frequent power outages.

[@LauraSingleton-t1b]

No new information I hadn’t seen in the reviews and the lack of information about power supply options was disappointing

[@RespShop]

Hello Laura, Feel free to give us a call if you find that your questions about the unit has not been answered. You can reach us at 1866 936 3754.

[@stever5122]

Luckily my machine makes no noise. My finance says she can’t hear a sound either. In fact I didn’t believe it was on at first. My only question is the exhaust vent. On my full size machine there is a constant airflow from the tubing bend/exhaust port. I feel no exhaust air flow from this at all.. anywhere.. is this normal?

[@RespShop]

The air vent is where you connect the humidx capsules to the hose and mask. Tiny small air vents. Not as noticeable as your full time device.

[@logicalpolice]

Yours must be broken since almost all comments I've read have been about how loud it is.

[@alvincatraz]

If i buy from your shop, do i take this airmini to my doctor to get it programmed?

[@RespShop]

Hi, when you purchase a machine from us, we'll program it according to your prescription so it's all set up and ready to use when you receive it.

[@NeonMoonPi]

I was so scared to buy this after reading countless reviews on the noise. While the airflow noise does exist, it’s nowhere near as bad as many describe

[@RespShop]

With a proper setup and connections, it can be pretty quiet! We offer a noise muffling kit that significantly reduces the machine's noise overall.

[@andrewbeavis5677]

Useful video but there is absolutely no need for that distracting background music. Really puts me off watching further videos.

[@RespShop]

Sorry for the loud background music. We've adjusted it in our newer videos!

[@andrewbeavis5677]

Well done guys. Really want to hear what you have to say.👍

[@emilywilson8289]

Hi, i use the airfit f30 mask with my lumis 100 can i use this with the air mini ❤❤❤ EDIT: i found out, i can't i can only use f20 😢

[@RespShop]

Hi, thank you for watching! You can use the F30 with the AirMini as long as you have the F20/F30 mask connector (www.respshop.com/cpap-masks/parts/othe-parts/resmed-f20-mask-connector-for-airmini-cpap-p-1211.html). The downside is there isn't a HumidX compatible for the F30 so you wouldn't have any humidification.

[@changeorbeextinct]

Just carry AirSense 11.

[@RespShop]

We do carry the AirSense 11 and we have a detailed review on that as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqpYX-Lp6msnbM

[@JC-cn9vk]

It’s too loud.

[@RespShop]

I am sorry to hear your find the airmini louder. Note that most travel machines are louder, due to the size there is not much sound proofing material around the motor.

[@packratcouple]

Don't buy it. NO RETURNS. The machine itself is very quiet but the air noise from the vent on your mask makes it unusable to sleep with. Bought one for my wife at the same time now we are stuck with two $1000 paper weights. Worked with the vendor to try to fix it, different hoses, mufflers, Masks, settings... nothing. Last warning don't buy it.

[@kennethpace287]

I an having the same Issue . It is sooooo loud when i breath with my mask I can’t sleep With it. 50 decibels

[@rickflavoredarsenal]

Did you try a universal adapter with regular mask? I don't plan using the humidity part

[@mscolli3]

@@rickflavoredarsenal Yes the airflow from the AirMini isn't acoustically modeled for any mask. Like others have said you will hear every breath no matter what muffler, tubing or mask. I haven't tried any N (nose) style masks yet, but for all Hybrid/Full Face the mask is VERY loud.

[@rickflavoredarsenal]

@mscolli3 I ordered one and I don't find the noise is much different than my Airsense 11. I use the same nasal mask on both machines with the adapter

[@mscolli3]

@@rickflavoredarsenal Hm maybe its different for the nasal masks, thanks

[@adeyemiadeyiga7510]

Can my insurance pay for this?

[@RespShop]

You will need to contact your insurance provider to see if your plan will allow a Travel machine to be purchased under your plan.

[@n.g.spencer8076]

No side-view, no nothing. How thick is it? How does it work? How much does it weigh...etc., etc., etc.? It blows air already. We knew that. So does this ad.

[@sauronthegreat5799]

Why not just make all the machines like the airmini so I don’t have to buy both.

[@RespShop]

Hello, The airmini may not be comfortable for all as it does not come with a heated humidifier or heated tube. The motor is a lot smaller as well so if used daily, your machine will expire sooner then the full time machines. Thank you for watching!

[@michaelfeliciano5731]

Because it costs so much more to make the unit smaller, and the small size comes with limitations that are not ideal for long term usage.
