I've had my AirMini a few months now and have used it multiple times. Here's what has not worked for me and how I fixed it. I'm SUPER happy with what it is now. First of all I did not like the tube that came with it. Not sure why because it looks close to the one I replaced it with so it took me a while to change it but I tried the regular slimline tube. I got an adapter for it (very inexpensive) to go into the mini and use my regular headgear/mask combo. The therapy is now steady and I can even lower the pressure. With the original tube I kept having to jack up the pressure not to snore but it would get uncomfortably high and disrupted my sleep. Secondly I did not like the humidifier capsule that can be used in the mask but I do need humidification (allergies): I would wake up with a gummy feel in my mouth - very unpleasant. I can do one of two things: the simplest is the wet a washcloth (soaking wet) folded and placed it near the air intake of the mini, works super well. The other option is a mini humidifier next the intake: the water vapor does shoot up in the air but then it falls around the mini and that works perfectly to relieve dryness. Hopes this helps someone. I have found the mini very quiet, not really any different from my Airsense 11 or the previous 10 and I am horribly sensitive to noise. I'm saving money not buying the expensive humidifier capsules or the AirMini tube, just a standard slim line from the Drugstore for under $10.
Just saw a video that shows the BMC P2H CPAP mask kit come with a connector specifically for the Air mini and that mask has a humidifier option within the mask that requires filters to be purchased every 30 days. The Air mini also has a humidifying option and the HumidX or HumidX Plus also has to be replaced every thirty days so this mask is also a good option.
I just received my air mini and getting ready to give it a trial before my upcoming vacation. I’m pretty excited about this, I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. I really dislike my regular big, bulky machine, especially when traveling. My question is, how do I switch back and forth using both machines, mini for away from home and big bulky machine at home? Is it as simple as turning on the mini when I’m using it, and then not turning it on when I’m home? I want to make sure my usage is recorded. Thank you for this great video also. It was very easy to follow.
Thanks for the compliment and for watching. It is as simple as using the AirMini on the road and the home CPAP when home. However your data will not combine on one single report. You will end up with two different sets of data reports.
Ok, another question. I’ve tried the 2 different humidity filters at different times. After, I have terrible sinus dripping that Benadryl barely can stop. Will not using any humidity filter take care of this? I’m not home right now; out of town, or I’d try it right now.
I’m looking at getting the air mini next year for my bike packing trips….since I’ll be camping outside I don’t see a reason to use the humidifier filters sleeping outside in the humid air. I have a 72Ah battery pack that has a usb-c dc outlet that I can plug a power cable into it and the CPAP. I’ve run my airsense 10 w/o humidifier or heated tube at home and got 4-5 nights of use before having to recharge the power bank.
Thanks for the video. Two questions… 1. I’ve been warned that water is actually a necessity, and that the 30-day humidifier packets (I forget what they’re called) don’t do the job and will dry out your nasal passages very quickly. 2. I’ve also been warned that the motor is so small that it can’t possibly do the job of my normal Philips unit. I only intend this for travel, up to 3 weeks max. What do you think?
The HMEs do not work as well as a heated humidifier with the water. However, they do help, and for most they do a good enough job. The motor on this unit is great. Can not think of one over the years that has gone down. Even for customers using the AirMini every night as primary unit.
Ive been using this for 6 months as my daily and no issues. I drink about 2 litres of water daily, with my final glass before i goto bed and wake up fine in the morning, no dry mouth etc. If you do have a concern about dry mouth use Therabreath mouth wash.
Appreciate the video, was disappointed to learn there wasn't a built-in battery. At a grand for the mini plus battery, I'll shoot for a portable battery pack for planes. Then can still use humidity when at other's houses or hotels with my Airsense 10 when on 110VAC.
You are welcome and thanks for watching. We really like the Freedom Battery option for what you are thinking. Link below for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/freedom-v2-airsense-battery-kit
Thanks for the informative video I have had airmini for a long while but have hardly used it because I just couldnt get it right pressure wise. Sitting here in my front room wearing it trying out different pressures and it seems to be working. Question…. Is it possible /ok to use the air mini without the little round filter humidx insert? I dont need humidity on my airsense 10 so think I need it in this ‘dry’ format on the mini… any thoughts on that?
i read so many comments about this machine and how noisy it is, and also people saying their partners relating to it being nearly as loud as their snoring without a cpap. It doesn't seem noisy at all. And sure i do realise theres a little bit of difference listening to on camera vs physically being there but you were very close
You can definitely hear it more than a home CPAP, but I have shared a bed with my dad on a few trips and he used a Travel CPAP. Didn't bother me at all.
Looking at the app, can you explain the points systems? Mask on/off I keep getting 0/5 points. So am I supposed to take my mask off several times a night??
@@CPAPmyway I just purchased and P10 mask with the Air Mini. It’s absolutely wonderful! I’ve been using the Swift Fx mask for years. But the P10 rules supreme!
Hi, is there a noticeable difference between the standard and plus HME? Does one perform better than other? Not a lot of comparisons available. Thanks and great video!
I have yet to have anyone tell me that they can tell a difference in the humidity level between the two HMEs. I am sure that there is some difference, but not one that anyone has pointed out to us.
You can, but you will need a battery for that. Link below to a great battery otion. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/freedom-v2-airmini
Very good video, I liked it. Question: I just bought one and when I want to turn it off, I press the on/off button and the Air Mini starts to pressurize again, unable to turn it off using that button, the 2 ways I found are first: let it turn off automatically by itself or pull the power source, is it a set up problem or a problem with the air mini? What is the best way to turn it off. Thank you. Jacques.
No, actually, I disconnect the tube and when I press the on/off button, the pressure resume as if the tube was there. It is a brand new unit so I’ll bring it back to the store. Thank you for the answer. Jacques.
I don’t care about using moisture but need a humidX filter installed in order for the air mini to provide the right pressure. Do you know if you can install a humidX and leave it longer than 30 days or is there contamination issues etc? Thanks.
Is there a solution for the F30i masks and humidity yet? I switched from the F20 to the F30i because I like the smaller form factor and the hose connection on top of the head (gives more freedom to move around). I really want to get this AirMini with an off-grid kit so I can go camping, but I live in the desert and NEED humidity. So far, I haven't seen any HumidX that works with the F30i mask, which I'm assuming has to do with the hose being on top of the head instead of the front of the mask. I can't find anything that I can use unless I just take my normal DS2 machine and find a campsite with electricity. Any ideas or am I stuck with using the F20 when traveling/camping?

After much work and buying different parts, medical suppliers don't know what they are doing, I got my mini to work. At first it seems great, but after trying and trying to get a leakless fit, I discovered that the mini ramps up pressure. So it works great at first but after a few minutes it blows so hard it lifts the edges of my mask. Sleepless nights traveling are killing me. How can I reduce the pressure?
I have had my mini for about 3 weeks...on vacation without humidity. My sinuses and nose are a mess...dry, and painful. I ordered waterless humidifier and an N20 connector for Air mini Ref 38844. It was a stab in the dark because the information out there on how to connect an HME to these buggers is non existent. I have a full face/under the nose mask and this item does not fit without some kind of adaptor which I have no clue how to obtain. I have larger bore tubing than the one I saw earlier in a video so the connector does not connect. I have no idea how to find a connector that does or if one exists. Most frustrating!! Saline nasal spray is all I can do until I get home to my big ResMed machine.
The new F20 setup pack for aimini comes with the HME now. But you have to be using the F20 full face mask. Links to both below. cpapmyway.com/store/airmini-f20-setup-pack cpapmyway.com/store/resmed-f20-full-face-mask
Yes it can. I have a great battery option for you that is FAA compliant below. It can get you as much as 3 nights with the AirMini. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/freedom-v2-airmini
Great video, thanks for the info. I just had one question. You mentioned the HME's are good for 30 days. Is that constant use of 30 days or if I'm on the road for 10 business days a month, I can theoretically stretch it 3 months?
Hi great info. Thanks, I bought the AirMini and used it for a few nights using N20 mask. I notice the air outlet at the HumidX has strong air that came out and sort of blow on my face. Its is quite irritating when you are sleeping... w cold air blowing on your face... Do you have the same experience? Any way to mitigate this?
Are you sure it’s not the mask, I have the same problem with air blowing on my face but it’s coming from the mask and not my outlet. Personally I really dislike the N20 mask
@@chrislausen6639 Its from the outlet... it is irritating and I need to wrap a small towel around it to prevent the air from blowing on to my face. I have since replace with w a P30i nasal pillow masks... this is so much better....
Thanks for the review! I have brought the Airmini recently. Does the app or anywhere else I can see the AHI data? I can only see a “myair” score in the app.
I have a lithium goal zero battery would this work on it for a couple of days? My current full size cpap completely drained it in one night without the heated tube and humidifier
There is air coming out of the coupling part of the tubing that holds the humidX filter. It cools my face and disturbs my sleep. I’ve tried taking it apart and putting it back together but that doesn’t help. Is this normal?
There is air passing through from there. I have not heard it to be so noticeable, but I guess that would depend on your settings and how high the pressure is going.
With the app, does the air mini app sync with the myair app? As a truck driver i have to use the myair app but I wanted to get the mini for traveling outside the country. But I have to maintain a minimum of 70% of 30 days on the myair. So for the week or two I'd use it would it be able to port that info to the myair app from the mini app?
Using two different CPAPs is tough when you have to report compliance to the DOT. The AirMini has its own app and reports completely separate from the MyAir app for the home device. Philips Respironics allows you to combine reports from the DreamStation go and DreamStation home CPAP. However they are not available for the foreseeable future due to the recall.
i AM MISSING THE CLEAR PLASTIC COUPLING THAT CONNECTS ON THE TUBING THAT CONNECTS TO THE cpap n20, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS CALLED, SO THAT i KNOW WHAT TO ORDER?
First thing that you should check the old tube. Hopefully it is there. The connector for the N20 to airmini link is below for you. cpapmyway.com/store/resmed-airmini-travel-cpap-n20-adapter
The Freedom Battery and the Portable outlet will work great for that purpose. Links below for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/freedom-v2-airmini cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/portable-outlet-cpap-battery
@@AlexT-md9df Amazon has it . I bought one there for my air mini. I have never used it yet but it snaps into your machine and the other end fits standard tubing. You forgo waterless humification when you do that. But it allows me in an emergency to use a standard non ResMed mask.
What are other options for power? I know of one car lighter adapter for 12v operation, but what about plug in adapter for airplane use? USB type? Camping? Etc. thanks, Rob
We have two that we really like. The Freedom and the Portable Outlet. I have a couple people that I an think of that use the Freedom on the Airmini and get 3 full nights of use on a single battery.

I have the air sense 10. I just got the teamed air mini for travel. I use the humidx gray for the humidification. I use the same setup shown in this video, however I still wake up with a very dry nose. Anyone know why the dry nose, and what can be done to prevent it?
Unfortunately, the HME is not always as good as a Heated Humidifier. It may not be quite enough. The only way to combat that would be to add humidity to your environment. Like a room humidifier.
YEs we have a couple great battery options for the AirMini. I'll put links to both below for your reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/portable-outlet-cpap-battery cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/freedom-v2-airmini
Air Mini works well but Bluetooth on to iphone does not connect often Any suggestion or a resource that I can contact about it? The demo was good but did not go into problems with BT connection.
We hear that a lot. I have that issue with almost every bluetooth connection on my phone. I do not think that there is a good resolution for the AirMini connection. I am sorry.
Hi .. I recently started getting condensation in the N20 mask and it wake me up because there is water ? Any thoughts. I recently change my humidx filter and it is still happening.
Humidity is a must for me but the HME seems kind of gross and expensive to constantly replace. Any know any other good travel machines that just use distilled water? Im traveling with an S10 constantly and its a burden.
The Transcend 365 is a good option for you in that case. Link below. Heads up. Very hard to find right now. Extended backorders. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-machines/travel-cpap-machines/transcend-365-mini-cpap
i need to change my setting from 7 to 7-12 per prescription. I’ve watched your other video, but my phone will not get to that screen where I can change. and my local Apria has never done it on the mini. any suggestions?
I’m using the air touch f20 with the mini and it’s SO much louder than my home AirSense 10 machine. I also tried the adapter to use my regular tubing and mask, but can’t get the noise level down. Any suggestions? It seems like it’s on exhale, right at the mask elbow connector.
Unfortunately that is one of the only downsides to this and most other Travel CPAPs. The Mask connection on the AirMini is definitely a little bit louder than a standard setup. If you haven't tried it with the Humidxx HME, then that may be an option for you. cpapmyway.com/store/airmini-f20-humidx
Found the same using my AS10 P10 nasal mask. It's noisier when connected to the mini (using an adapter) on exhale. I've changed settings but to no avail. Using the mini's P10 mask with no humidx cartridge seems to be the quietest combination. I don't use a humidifier any way with the AS10 so that's no problem for me. Wondering if the noise is related to the different turbine, it's pressure algorithms or lack of noise abatement foam in this device.
It can be a pain. You have ot press down on the arrow while sliding it back. But it is kinda tricky. Be careful, I have broken a few trying to press too hard.

I thought that it did show the AHI, but it may be called it "events".
I have a lithium goal zero battery would this work on it for a couple of days? My current full size cpap completely drained it in one night without the heated tube and humidifier
Thanks for the input.
There is air coming out of the coupling part of the tubing that holds the humidX filter. It cools my face and disturbs my sleep. I’ve tried taking it apart and putting it back together but that doesn’t help. Is this normal?
There is air passing through from there. I have not heard it to be so noticeable, but I guess that would depend on your settings and how high the pressure is going.
Does the machine allow to use a regular tubing? It seems that there is space to use a standard.
It will not work with regular tubing.
Question - how can you check to see what pressure the machine is set at?
You should be able to look that up in the AirMini app on your smart phone once it is linked up.
With the app, does the air mini app sync with the myair app? As a truck driver i have to use the myair app but I wanted to get the mini for traveling outside the country. But I have to maintain a minimum of 70% of 30 days on the myair. So for the week or two I'd use it would it be able to port that info to the myair app from the mini app?
Using two different CPAPs is tough when you have to report compliance to the DOT. The AirMini has its own app and reports completely separate from the MyAir app for the home device. Philips Respironics allows you to combine reports from the DreamStation go and DreamStation home CPAP. However they are not available for the foreseeable future due to the recall.
How loud is this with a f20 mask? I’ve heard the air mini is really loud because of the humidx filter…. Not sure if it’s true for the f20 mask
The HME does make more noise for sure. You can use it without the HME though, and that seems to help. You may be dried out though.
How high does the pressure go on the air mini I have chronic sleep apnea bad and my home machine pressure is set at 15.
The AirMini goes up to 20cm
When travelling overseas, do you need to use both a converter, and adapter, or can you just use an adapter?
You should be able to just use the adapter. The power cord converts the electricity.
How often do you clean the tubing and do you take that humidity filter out before cleaning?
Wash Tubing at at least once per week. If you wash the HME make sure that you dry it out well.
i AM MISSING THE CLEAR PLASTIC COUPLING THAT CONNECTS ON THE TUBING THAT CONNECTS TO THE cpap n20, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS CALLED, SO THAT i KNOW WHAT TO ORDER?
First thing that you should check the old tube. Hopefully it is there. The connector for the N20 to airmini link is below for you.

Any FAA approved portable battery options /recommendations for nap use on long flights?
The Freedom Battery and the Portable outlet will work great for that purpose. Links below for reference.

cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-accessories/power-options/portable-outlet-cpap-battery
Does it have auto pressure setting?
Yes it does. Anywhere between 4-20cm range. Link to it below.
cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-machines/travel-cpap-machines/resmed-airmini-auto-travel-cpap
You can buy a tubing adapter and use your own mask with standard tubing
Thanks for the input.
Where can I find this adaptor? Been looking everywhere
@@AlexT-md9df Amazon has it . I bought one there for my air mini. I have never used it yet but it snaps into your machine and the other end fits standard tubing. You forgo waterless humification when you do that. But it allows me in an emergency to use a standard non ResMed mask.
What are other options for power? I know of one car lighter adapter for 12v operation, but what about plug in adapter for airplane use? USB type? Camping? Etc.
thanks, Rob
We have two that we really like. The Freedom and the Portable Outlet. I have a couple people that I an think of that use the Freedom on the Airmini and get 3 full nights of use on a single battery. Links below for reference.

@CPAPmyway do you have the 12v?
I have the AirMini with the P10 mask. If I use the HumidX I wake up during the night with extreme dry mouth. Any suggestions?
I would try a chinstrap or a full face option. Usually that is due to mouth leak while you are sleeping.
Hi, I notice after i have used the air mini for several hours the pressure seems stronger and the air is cold. Can iI adjust the pressure?
The pressure has to be adjusted in the Clinical Menu by the Clinician or your provider.
What would you suggest which battery is last long for the place that doesn’t have electricity ?
The AirMini will last as much as 3 nights on the Freedom battery. But the portable outlet is a great option as well. Links to both below for you.

@@CPAPmyway thank you so much
I have the air sense 10. I just got the teamed air mini for travel. I use the humidx gray for the humidification. I use the same setup shown in this video, however I still wake up with a very dry nose. Anyone know why the dry nose, and what can be done to prevent it?
Unfortunately, the HME is not always as good as a Heated Humidifier. It may not be quite enough. The only way to combat that would be to add humidity to your environment. Like a room humidifier.
Can you set the pressure on this device and if so how ?
We should have a video out on that very soon. Stay tuned.
@@CPAPmyway Thank you
Is there a battery pack I can purchase separately that I can use with my ResMed mini ???
YEs we have a couple great battery options for the AirMini. I'll put links to both below for your reference.

Air Mini works well but Bluetooth on to iphone does not connect often Any suggestion or a resource that I can contact about it? The demo was good but did not go into problems with BT connection.
We hear that a lot. I have that issue with almost every bluetooth connection on my phone. I do not think that there is a good resolution for the AirMini connection. I am sorry.
Unplug airmini and plug it back in. It’s an annoyance, but it works.
Hi .. I recently started getting condensation in the N20 mask and it wake me up because there is water ? Any thoughts. I recently change my humidx filter and it is still happening.
Is this on the AirMIni travel CPAP?
@@CPAPmyway yes
Can’t slip down filter cover no much I try. Any suggestions?
It is a pain sometimes. You have to press down gently on the arrow as you slide it. Be careful, because you can break it is you press down to hard.
Humidity is a must for me but the HME seems kind of gross and expensive to constantly replace. Any know any other good travel machines that just use distilled water? Im traveling with an S10 constantly and its a burden.
The Transcend 365 is a good option for you in that case. Link below. Heads up. Very hard to find right now. Extended backorders.

By the price is it correct to say airmini is better than this other model?
Who is the straw bale for?
HAHA!! Fall decorations for kids candy night at our office. I am sure it sat there for months afterward.
Does the blue tooth light stay on while in use?
If it is connected.
If I buy a used airmini, can I reset the pressures?
It has to be done in the clinical menu, but it can be done.
i need to change my setting from 7 to 7-12 per prescription. I’ve watched your other video, but my phone will not get to that screen where I can change. and my local Apria has never done it on the mini. any suggestions?
I will work to get a provider menu video out for the AirMini soon. It is really easy to do, but difficult to explain typing.
@@CPAPmyway I finally got it off the other video! thank you!!
Any chance you can point me to that video to change the pressure settings? Thanks!
I’m using the air touch f20 with the mini and it’s SO much louder than my home AirSense 10 machine. I also tried the adapter to use my regular tubing and mask, but can’t get the noise level down. Any suggestions? It seems like it’s on exhale, right at the mask elbow connector.
Unfortunately that is one of the only downsides to this and most other Travel CPAPs. The Mask connection on the AirMini is definitely a little bit louder than a standard setup. If you haven't tried it with the Humidxx HME, then that may be an option for you.

Hmmmm… this is concerning, would the HDM Z2 be quieter.?
Found the same using my AS10 P10 nasal mask. It's noisier when connected to the mini (using an adapter) on exhale. I've changed settings but to no avail. Using the mini's P10 mask with no humidx cartridge seems to be the quietest combination. I don't use a humidifier any way with the AS10 so that's no problem for me. Wondering if the noise is related to the different turbine, it's pressure algorithms or lack of noise abatement foam in this device.
Can’t seem to open filter cover on Mini. What’s the trick?
It can be a pain. You have ot press down on the arrow while sliding it back. But it is kinda tricky. Be careful, I have broken a few trying to press too hard.
How many nights do you get out of the portable Outlet?
2 nights on most CPAPs.
I cannot remove the filter cover by pushing down. Anyone have any advice?
It can be a little tricky. But you have to press and slide it at the same time. Be careful not to press to hard, because I have cracked a few over the years.
How well does it work?
Very well. Similar feel and performance to their home version of auto CPAP.
Is there a new air mini coming out this year 2021?
Not that we have heard of. We have seen that the AirSense 11 is in the inspection phase, but no ETA on a release.
Whats th price of mini in USA? this is an expensive machine in india, i am using currently Airsense auto but my travel job i need someting lighter to carry with me
Currently $949 for the AirMini Travel CPAP. Prices fluctuate however.
999 US dollars
Hello, would this stop loud snore?
Usually CPAP does a great job of stopping snoring problems.
You can you any mask you’d like with an adapter or you can cut the propriety end and attach you’re own.
Thanks for the information.
Sir I need one how much the coast in United Arab Emirates please awaiting your reply
Unfortunately we can only ship to a US address. Here is a link to the AirMini travel CPAP for pricing reference.

Can you attach oxygen to the air mini
I do not think so.
If it is not working then what we do
You would need to contact your Provider and have them work to have a warranty repair or replacement unit processed for you.
How can I get the machine to start at 7.0 or 10?
You should be able to adjust the starting pressure in the App when you have it connected to the AirMini.
Do you need to have the HME?
I don't think so, but it may cause a little more noise.
Can some tell me where the dc plug is on resmed 11.
I am not aware of a DC power supply for the AirSense 11.
Do you have portable battery charger
I recommend the Freedom Battery for the AirMini Travel CPAP. Link below. We have seen 3 nights use on a single charge with the single battery.

I use F 20. It is so load I can’t get to sleep. Suggestions.
SAME. So loud I want to return it but it’s not returnable. Help!
How is returns policy
We do not accept any used equipment back. Since we only sell brand new units. 2 year warranty on any problems with the device though.
@@CPAPmyway I need one then what I will do
Why is there always a blank screen where it tells you to select an accessory. I have tried this 20 times and no matter how long I wait no accessory name appears.
Are you talking about the App setup?
Have Mach many this is machine
Thanks
