I used the Airsense 10 for 5 years and now I've used the Airsense 11 for 1 year. Yes, I do miss the swiveling hose on the Airsense 10. One thing I don't like about the 11 is that it's noisier than the 10. Even with earplugs, there's a slight whining noise I can hear from the 11 with the N30 mask. When I use the 10 it's dead silent, no sound at all with ear plugs. Also, the 11 started having heating problems with the humidifier after about 8 months. I had to get a new replacement. The 10 lasted all 5 years with no issues. Even with all that, I still do like the 11.
@@af1966 Same for me, even my wife said the 11 is quieter than my previous 10...and I had two of them for 10 years! The ResMed specs state that the 11 is slightly noisier than the 10...27 vs. 26.6 dBA, but the 11 uses less power...65W vs. 90W AC. Personally, I like the smaller profile of the 11 and the larger power button. Also, I get my results on the app immediately after turning my 11 off. The 10 would take larger for the results to be available from the ResMed database, but usually within an hour.
If it rolls over you need a longer hose such as a 10ft hose and turn the machine sideways (the 11) so the hose is coming directly to you. Put it on a silicone mat so it won't move.
I purchased the Airsense 10 Auto auto card to cloud. No Bluetooth. But For $400, it seems like a great deal to me. I believe during Covid when there were supply chain shortages. They had to construct machines without modems. I use Oscar and it has an SD card. So it works fine for me.
I have been using CPAP's for over 20 years. I have been through several devices and my last unit is the AirSense 10 Respond, which I have had for about 5 1/2 years. It appeared that the AirSense 11 doesn't have the heated hose feature that my AirSense 10 has, and I am very found of. If I am able to select between the two, I will select the AirSense 10 Again. It has been the most effective of all the CPAP's I have owned and the most care free. So I don't plan to change.
The 11 might hold the same amount of water but it’s really hard to not spill any when you fill it up to the max. Really easy to put too much and the lower profile means it spills when you move the tank.
I have the 11 I've never had any problems of it tipping over of course I rolled the hose around the side and back around and it seems to not bother the machine at all but no issues with it
I use an AirSense 11. I trialed an AirCurve 10 ASV for a few weeks. I liked the interface on the 11 more. The 11 was also noticeably quieter. One advantage the 10 had been the availability of a 12V power supply. I just recently noticed 12V supplies are available for the 11. I have one on order. It should make it more efficient to power my CPAP while camping.
I had heard the 11 was a little bit noisier, but I really couldn't hear much of a difference. The motor is smaller in the 11 (uses the same motor as the mini). They must use better sound proofing.
Wish this vid was out before I bought the AS11 in December. I’m pretty sure after watching your videos and “others “ I would be much happier with a bi-level machine. I’ve just started CPAP therapy and have hacked my way through a few nights of misery so far. I’m getting closer to a good “compromise “ pressure and mask situation. One day, hopefully soon, I’ll be contacting you for a fine tune on my settings. Until then my buddy Jason, wishing you the best and very thankful for your talent and passion to help folks. Cheers
As a majority of patients, I also started with a CPAP, and it did a really great job. It may be enough for you. I have the chance to start with a very good mask... for me (I am a side sleeper, nice leak control, confortable) : the ResMes Mirage FX. I now have a bi-level for my UARS, and I wanted to try another mask. I tried 5 (!!!) other masks that I completely dislike (skin irritation with the DreamWear Silicone Pillow) or like less than my first ResMed Mirage FX : A "big" nasal mask with flexible headgear. My opinions : "Big" nasal masks are much more comfortable than small nasal masks (AirFit N30i) or nasal pillow masks (AirFit P30i) => more surface area in contact with the skin, less pressure, better comfort. Also, it is always nice to have a full face mask when sick. I like the F&P Vitera : very comfortable and nice leak control. Take your time and don't be afraid to try multiple masks and find a mask that you like 😀
@@LucMasse-pr5uu Did you find a big difference between CPAP vs BPAP for your UARS? I have SA and UARS (6 AHI/25 RDI) and CPAP has helped alot but I still want that remaining 30% of my sleep quality back. Thinking of getting a Bipap in the future.
I was able to stretch out my S9 to 10 years, and recently was faced with deciding between an AirSense 10 or 11 for a new machine. Didn't know about the tipping comparison between the two, but I would think that would be a minimal issue for most users. I did think the reservoirs had different volumes, but you confirmed they hold the same volume of water. The 11 is more vulnerable to spillage and I've heard mixed reviews on it's heating plate design. The motors on the 10 and 11 are different. The decibel levels are not that different, but maybe the durability and lifecycle costs of the motors might come into play. Surprised ResMed didn't keep the same Climatline tubing and connection used on the 10 for the 11. Carrying bag for the 11 is fairly compact. Like the idea that the machine can receive OTA SW updates.
My DME recently supplied me with the air sense 10. There is no connection for the DME or doctor to receive the info from the machine. After I called and spoke with the DME compliance department they said “just mail in the SDcard. So the charges can go through but how does the MD get results? Called the doctor-she called in the order for the air sense 11. Now waiting for delivery. She really wants the connection.
I started using an Airsense 11 from October 3 this year, and it works perfectly. I sleep more and very well, I don't have anything wrong to say about it.
Had an AS10 Autoset, but on doing an in-lab sleep test, was changed to an AS10 Aircurve ST BiPAP. There is a difference in the way the pressures are managed, but now that I am used to it breathing is better. It does affect how full-face masks work - I can not get one (tried like 5 different ones) to work without leaks, and the pressure change (mine is 16 inhale, 8 exhale) makes the silicone cushion inflate/deflate to the point of not sleeping.....so the F&P Evora nasal mask and mouth-tape from BSN Cover-Roll does the best. I agree on picking an AirCurve if you are buying new.
I have an airsence 11 and have been using it for about 4 days. Very easy to use. If you have never used a cpap it might feel wired but it's something you well get used too.
I just got the airsense11 for what I'm told is severe apnea and I have a hard time weeding through the flip comments and rushed explanations... I'm feeling pretty lost and its only been 5 days and I feel I need to get back to my doctor to reset something.. I get air collecting in my mouth that I have to expel and I don't think that's supposed to happen. Because my 02 was drifting down into the 50's at night I'm nervous about taking my regular medications with a cpap that might not be doing what it's supposed to be doing... not happy.
Had AS10 and last year it broke, replaced with AS11, happy with it so far. What I don’t like is you can’t completely shut off with button (have to pull plug) so touch screen stays on for a few minutes after use. The hose port inside AS11 unlike AS10 easily pops out for cleaning. Weirdly every night AS11 blows air for a few seconds at 30 mins after use.
I was just issued an Airsense 11 by the VA. So far I’m satisfied with it. The technology aspect is quite impressive as you can see the progress each night via an app that is connected to the machine.
Believe it or not, the airsense 11 is more difficult to operate for someone with arthritis due to the sensitivity of the screen and low profile. I regret switching to the 11, the 10 just seems as if it’s better made.
Resmend Airsense 11 does flip over easy. Both do what is meant to do. The Resmed Airsense 10 I like swivel part on machine for the hose. I think it would help the 11 not to tip over as easily as does, if had as well.
I am currently using the Airsense 11. However, I use an old Resmed S9 for travel, since I can use it without the humidifier. Yes, I can use the 11 with the adapter in place of the humidifier. But it doesn’t really make a significant difference in the footprint or weight. What I really would like is a light weight power supply. Would be nice not to have my carry on bag be so heavy.
That swivelling tube is really handy when you travel and have to change sides of the bed your COAP is on or even at home it might be pointing the wrong way! I’d go with the older model.
You mentioned that you had trouble with the machine rolling up and getting water into the hose while pulling it. Personally, I always position my S9 machine with the hose pointing toward me when I am in bed. What does anyone else do? Also, I've always thought that it would be nice if manufacturers made heavy plates that could attach to the bottom of the machine to prevent movement while using it.
Agree 100 on spending a few more bucks to get the Aircurve. So what about noise? Seems like you mentioned the 11 has the smaller and higher rpm motor, and different insulation, therefore 11 might be louder? Also, so what part of a flowrate curve would indicate UARS such you would want to get the Aircurve?
Thanks for the great review. I have recently hired a F&P SleepStyle+ PLUS Auto machine but it makes this whining noise when you breathe in, was wondering if the AirSense 11 made any noise at all?
It appears that there might be a significant aftermarket opportunity for some company that would be willing to make a universal swivel adapter for the AirSense 11 / AirCurve 11.
I’m having to choose between the 10 or 11 and I have concerns with both. Currently in Canada, they are both the same price. That being said the Airsense 10 is older, and will eventually be obsolete. As for the 11, it has issues with the heating & there is NO solution other than to replace it if it’s still under warranty. So which would you choose? Any helpful guidance would be appreciated. 🤷🏽♂️
I have used the as11 for about 3 years. The hose on the back I hate. I used a system 1 previously. It’s hose on the top with a 45 degree swivel much better. It was about 4 inches taller. I set the as11 on a wood box to make the hose level with the bed. I turned the hose connection to the bed. That also put the water chamber to the front making it way more convenient. I use a set pressure no auto mode. Overall I get along with it. Just the hose issue
I know these comments are not associated with the subject. I respect your knowledge on CPAP’s. There has been a lot of discussions about mouth taping. I had my first sleep study in Aug 2023. Later I discovered I could not use the nasal mask without taping my mouth closed. I got to wondering what would happen if I just taped my mouth closed during the night not using CPAP machine. I convinced my sleep doctor that I had quit drinking and lost weight ( not really honest) but I wanted another sleep study with my mouth taped closed during the test. In March 2024 I had my second sleep study. Results: First study, Time under 88% oxygen saturation 35 min, Second study 9 min. First study, Central apnea index 4.1 events per hour. Second study 0.5 events per hour. First study AHI was 33.8 events per hour. Second study 27 events per hour. What other data would you like? Comments? Ron Estes
I need to get a new machine soon and want to get the aircurve 10 Vauto. It would seem that the $600 heated hose is not needed. I have had two dreamstations for five years total. Looking forward to a change.
I've been using AS11 since July on CPAP setting (on your advice I convinced my sleep dr) My complaint is the reservoir warps. I've gone through two. I tried a heated hose and it used all the water and warped. Replaced it, ditched the heated hose and one night used all the water and that one warped. By that I mean it won't close tight without a gap. Nobody can tell me if this is ok or not. BTW I'm in a very dry Midwestern winter climate.
I've boiled my 10 dry many times (stinks!) and the tub has never warped. I don't like that circular plate design, I think the 10 has it right with the square larger plate.
Hello! Thanks for you informative and funny videos. I been using the res med 11 for a month and a half. I do not have any cronic condition, but my blood pressure goes down and the oxygenation. The machine was brand new (as far.as i know) i ck the hours and most likely match my usage time my only concern is when cleaning it is the time that this tubes take to dry. Any suggestions?
#CPAPLegend! It’s been five years and I’m renewing my CPAP. I’m going back to the old reliable air sense 10! No 90° elbow was the dealbreaker for me on the 11! Btw do you need a different prescription for the bilevel????
Loved my first AS10... when I popped 22000 hours I bought another 10, the C2C, for 399$... now *that's* a steal! Then I rebuilt the old one, put a new motor from Amazon, even soldered in a new clock battery, then completely disassembled and cleaned it. Put another 500 hours on it, runs like a champ... so I put vAuto firmware on the C2C, now it thinks it's a bi-level!
I have used the 11 for a year with no problems. It is my first unit so I have nothing to compare it to. Does it work? Yes. Does it help me? I have no idea- I need to have an analysis done by a professional polysomnographer...
Went from an S9 that was falling apart ti an air sense 11 about 6 months ago and with the help of you and another channel and using OSCAR abd learning how to read the data with your help(using sleep HQ free as like a cloud backup) my sleeps got significantly better. Highly recommend your channel add the air sense 11
Pause the video at 7:35 in the video. Then at 7:49 I say it's $150 more. It's the card to cloud version. All units displayed are here for a price check: cpapsupplies.com/machines/?manufacturer=822
1. My tube is about 6 feet long. It doesn't come close to snagging and lifting my RM 11 off the table. 2. A simple right angle attachment can by bought anywhere to attach your tubing to the machine. My DME supplier gave it to me, but they are less than a buck at any home improvement store. Plumbing section has tons of PVC fittings.
I’ve only known the Airsense 11. If I was not on Medicare and had no insurance, then yeah I’d back petal in technology and spring for the Airsense 10 because of costs. In a little over a year I’ve set my unit on a no grip liner that’s used in drawers, so my unit doesn’t move or roll. But… the only problem I have had with the Airsense 11 that I’ve seen mentioned in a few places over the last 3-4 months, is the humidification heating unit going kaput. Contacting my sleep center and DME offered a one day swap out.
My 11 faces away from me on the silly stand I had to put it on to get it below my bed because - water issues for my hydration I still use. That means the back is facing my bed, never had a tip. Did I just jinx myself??? Lol 😂
Thank you for your videos, they are a rapid bootcamp to figure this stuff out. I wondered why my tank was dry and also had mask leak issues so that small detail was useful. So many variables in what will and won't work and why. I've got the SD card ordered to play with Oscar, should be interesting.
I started using a CPAP machine with the AirSense 11 (about 1 1/2 years ago) so I don't have a perspective on older models but I'm very happy with the 11. It's changed my life. I sleep so much better! I've also traveled with the 11 and it's not a burden.
@@TV-cx2zw - ResMed AirTouch N20. I think it's comfortable, but it did take about a week to get used to. My wife's complaining about my snoring was strong motivation to stick with it. Good luck.
@TV-cx2zw I know it sucks at first. I had the same problem with removing my mask. Are you using a full face mask or nasal pillow? What helped me was turning off the ramp feature along with switching from the f20 to the f40 mask. The f20 made sleeping on my side impossible without getting significant leakage. The most important thing is not giving up and working with your Dr on finding the best mask and pressure that works best for you.
I like to pre-warm the water tank. My biggest complaint with the AirSense 10 is how many spins and clicks of the dial I have to do in order to start the pre-heat on the humidifier tank. Did they make turning on pre-heat any easier on the 11? My first CPAP machine had a button on top for that ... easy peasy. Come on ResMed, why make it a 300 level computer science project to turn on pre-heat?
All I know that I have had at least 3 times more screw-ups and breakdowns using the Airsense 11 for maybe a year and a half compared with the many years I used the Airsense 10. After having so many breakdowns with the Airsense 11- both with my own machine and the loaners I got while my own machine was being fixed - I’m a fan of the 10. I don’t care if the 11 has more fancy-dancy features. Who cares if the 11 breaks down 😢constantly? Take my advice - keep your 10 until they come out with the 12. The 11 just isn’t made as well.
The thing that I find with my 11, my first machine ever, is with mouth taping I get zero leak but I'm still having routinely 3 to 5 episodes an hour. I feel like this is not good.6 and 0.3 or some my new amount
Just got my first ever machine today, this one. I'm a little scared to try it. I got the nostril only mask to try that first. yeah, i'm a little scared to use it. Any tips for first night with this thing?
It can take months to get used to it and tune all the settings to maximize your comfort and sleep quality. Keep using it every night and tweaking things until you find what works best for you, including trying out different masks.
Ok so here is why I am very confused why, though a pep settings are always downplayed. After watching all of the videos, I’ve been only doing CPAP for several months. I’ve had a horrible leaks and AHIS . That for her setting ended with zero leaks. !! Only 1 event ! I was SHOCKED! I’ve been having 40 large leaks or so . Why would someone do better on the for her settings? I’m still in shock ! Please anyone??
Oh that is so interesting! I didn't know that setting existed... Would you recommend the Airsense 11? No regrets? I've been researching and researching which machine to get as my medical device supplier only carries the airsense 10, airsense 11, and Luna G3. I'm replacing like a 12 year old Philips respironics "system one" machine. TC in Annapolis, Maryland @@juliethompson3887
It depends on your prescription because your prescription should say any machine it should not be written for a particular machine so check that your prescription says any machine and if it doesn't get your doctor to write it that it says any machine
I like to start my treatment with "Run mask fit" every night. This way, I have time to adjust my sleeping position, my mask for leaks and calm my breathing before the PAP treatment start for real and start recording on the sd card. This way, less false events flag and the Sleep Report is cleaner (especially for Vt - Tidal Volume) I like my AirSense 10 Elite (buy used) and my AirCurve 10 VAuto (bi-level for UARS treatment) physical buttons and knob, this way I can access the menu without my reading glasses : I can count the steps on the knob to access "Run mask fit" Nice bonus : the screen stay clean. The swiveling heated tube thing help since I like to have the screen facing me. I always check how my night went using the "Sleep Report". I like to check sleep time, RR, Ti and I:E for fun. I also like to check AHI, leak and Vt (especially now on bi-level) to see if everything is ok. If everything is ok (feeling good and Sleep Report ok) I can be weeks without reading the SD Card using OSCAR. The knob and physical button + the swiveling tube thing + possibility to buy an after market motor + possible airbreak + lower cost on the used market : AirSense 10 is the winner for me.
My thoughts exactly... I have two of them now... rebuilt the old one (>22000 hours!)... new motor off Amazon, soldered in a new clock battery, completely disassembled and cleaned... put it back in service, now the C2C machine sits around!
"larger tank wont do anything either" - but it does sir, it makes it so you only have to fill the tank once a week/month instead of every day or two :)
Jason, I’m sorry, but you’re dead wrong about the humidity/leak thing. I use a full face because I’m a mouth breather and I like the humidity turned up. My leak rate is always really low but I will run out of water halfway through the night. I got a Cspring and the problem is solved.
@@af1966 Generally 6. I'd like it higher, but then I keep getting rainout, even with a heated tube. Remember, water use can also depend on your pressure and the "exhaust factor" of your mask.
I think for comparison the bag is important. There is more room in an S10 bag and better cushioned than the S11 bag, which is thinner and if you have a full face mask, good luck squeezing it inside the S11 bag.
Wow I hate both bags. They were never big enough. They require you to crush your hose, and then smush your headgear in with the power cable (that's been on the floor?) The flat zipper pocket on the outside holds next-to nothing, and those two ridiculous pockets on the inside flap, are they a joke??? I miss the sturdier, roomier bags that came with the S8 and S9.
No, the 11 uses 60w, the 10 90w. They are supposed to be the same noise, but what I hear is that the 11 is whinier. It has a smaller motor and noise foam in it.
I have my resmed as10 velcroed to the bottom shelf of my nightstand with industrial strength Velcro. No flipping going on here. I will stick with the 10.
Sad! You must not be Severe grade... I'm uber ultra Severe, AHI >100, I'd die without it. If you monitor your O2 overnight you might be able to tell if you can get away without CPAP.
Can you get Lego Man to get in touch with Nicko and ask him to send you a Lowenstein Prisma 20A to review? I'd love your feedback because I have really found your content both frank, funny and with quality info. I'm new to CPAP after getting a hospital diagnosed AHI of 33.7 and after testing the Dreamstation and the Lowenstein Prisma Smart, The Prisma 20A was just on a whole different level. I know it's not available in the US at the moment, but still worth a look for your international viewers. The Soft PAP 3 setting was the thing that sold me, it works so well when still in APAP mode but with the same high and low CmH20 level, or maybe 0.5 difference in the two.
So the answer to my question is no, you haven't used the Lowenstein machine. So my question now is, why would you say it is not as good as Resmed? Furthermore, did you read my comment where I clearly stated that Lowenstein machines are not yet available in the US?
Hi Jason! Love your channel! Have had the AS 11 for about a year now and do not think it is as good of quality as my previous AS 11 that I had for over 5 yrs (Had to do an upgrade per insurance) Miss the rotating option for my climate control tube. And yes I have tipped it. 😣
Who else loves how their humidifier chamber falls over when they try to make it stand open like that at 1:35? It just flops right the f**k over, doesn't it? It's so amusing. 🤬 Especially since my CPAP is in my bedroom by my bed and not on my granite kitchen counter. Also, who else is left-handed and LOVES how the fill-line is only visible to right-handed people? Touching, really, thanks guys. You shouldn't have. Oh right, you didn't. How endearing. ❤ No matter how carefully I try to fill that thing, even just ⅔ full, a few drops almost inevitably trickle out the back near the hinge, leaving a little wet spot. I've just taken to keeping a towel nearby. I can't set it directly on top of a towel because the fabric just makes it more unstable and almost ensures that it will topple. I would've snagged that new Fischer and Paykel but I need a prescription and yadda yadda. Eh, I'm alive, so, whatever; I'll use a towel until my 11 bites the dust in 5-7 years and hope things will have improved by then.
Bought one almost 2 years ago. This is the seconnd time I have amechanical problem with, was the modem now the eating plate. The worst after sale service I ever had. No more ResMed products for me.
Roll the 10 and water gets into the motor… roll the 11 and the water doesn’t get in. I use the F30i mask which has the swivel at the top so never had difficulties. I agree regarding the air curve but in Australia it’s almost twice the price of the Airsense 11. You can buy the Airsense 11 yourself whereas you need a prescription from a specialist to buy the Aircurve … in Australia. The 11 is marginally noisier than the 10.
@@af1966 true and there are companies in the US that will receive and redirect. You’ll have difficulty with warranty and I’m not sure an Australian prescription is valid in the US.
I merely bumped my S11 and water blasted through the whole apparatus and straight up my nose. The hose, headgear, and the insides of the machine were soaked. I was grateful I still had my S10 as a backup that night.
@@ChillDfect I’ve more than bumped it as have a number of reviewers, no ingress of water at all. I’ve also had it packed while 4wheeling and stupidly forgot to empty the water … found it upside down and on its side … no ingress of water to the motor area at all, everywhere else yes. A strong bump could perhaps do that but it wouldn’t have entered the motor, it’s not designed that way.
Upper airway resistance syndrome? Wha-aaat is that? 😂. Another video coming? I just bought another CPAP too. I’m thinking maybe … should I have bought a bilevel? Good video!
What you're showing for the prices of the machines is way too high because every day I get emails in my inbox from different websites that sell the machines and the prices are much lower
Hello good sir Jason 🫡 do you know if any of the resmed bipaps go to a pressure of 30? I have the old Phillips bipap ST, but want a new one for a back up since Phillips got recalled, thank you 🙏
Cons from perspective of moving from DreamStation 1 to ResMed AirSense 11: - AirSense 11 is Loud, I feel like I have Darth Vader hovering over me as I am breathing through it. I sleep with a Fan going that drowns it out though so acceptable with fan. Without fan noise I would never get to sleep with this machine. - Hose in back is annoying. I guess if I turn the machine around backwards it is ok. Dreamstation had connection on top on swivel which was great. - Water tank is annoying. Easy to spill water. Dreamstation was the gold standard for water tank. - With Dreamstation I was very well rested every morning and fell asleep easily without issues. With this Airsense 11 with same settings and same mask, I am having issues sleeping. Something is different with this machine and I dislike it so far. Hopefully I can figure it out but may just be the machine.
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.
Forgot to add, the 11 is quieter but the filter is all the way in the back of the machine and thus hard to get to. Worst feature is the auto shutoff when the machine senses a leak, it sucks the air and what feels like the life out of you when it auto shuts and the mask is on…ooof.
Thank you, I’ve done that and it’s so much better. I’m still waking up with a dry mouth and tank it’s so frustrating. I am exactly between a small and medium size in masks. @@ChillDfect
APAP user for over 12 years, started with the S9 for 5 yrs then AS10 for 7 yrs, had the 11 for 3 wks and hated the whining sound (effecting my sleep) so my supply center swapped it for a new 10. Much happier now.
I've use both AS10 & AS11. I find they both function well. The AS11 is a tad louder, but only by a hair. I use a 90 degree elbow adapter from my old AS10 with it, so I don't mind that it doesn't swivel. My only gripe is that the water tank "clicks" as I inhale and exhale - which I've overcome by placing an elastic band in the latch as I close the lid. To be honest, I like them both. I only bought the AS11 for the smaller size and nicer screen. It was the same price as the AS10, do I figured why not. If I had to do it again, I'd probably make the same choice. 😊
The driest parts of the USA are when central air conditioning is used! In west Texas we used propane in winter and evap coolers in summer... kept us moist.
Seems like ResMed keeps doing away with things I liked. First off, WHY did they get rid of the swivel??? Now with the S11 my mask gets twisted around and pulled askew, because it doesn't have that swivel. WHY did they replace the simple gray power cable of the S9 with the "two-cables-and-a-clunky-converter-box-but-with-only-one-velcro-tie" combo? I HATE those! Why did they make the humidifier chamber MORE of a floppy drippy tiny flimsy burny pain in the ass? Why did they stop making the carry-case BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD EVERYTHING??? Traveling with the S9 was SOOO much easier than with the S10 OR S11. Everything about the S9 was way more conducive to grab-and-go. With the S10 and S11 you have to do a lot of fumbling and fiddling to cram everything into a case so ridiculously... and come on, what's with those two useless pockets on the inside flap??? Seriously! What kind of inane bullshit is that? And then the one zipper pocket on the outside with NO ROOM for anything! These are some of the reasons I snapped to attention when watching your recent video covering the Fisher & Paykel stuff. The F&P SleepStyle has a lot of the features I miss about ResMed stuff, yes including the handle on top. Another criticism of both the S10 and S11: those numbers in the "sleep report" are such BS. Like you said in another video: random number generators. Sleep report: "You slept 6 hours." Me: "That's not very reassuring, since I only took a 1-hour nap. " I appreciate all the leaps in functionality, the heated hoses, the clinician's remote access, etc, but why did they abandon good stuff they already had, and for something shittier? As for the problem of accidentally pulling machines onto the floor, I've had that problem with every machine I've ever owned, except maybe my big Millennium Falcon-sized S8.
Have you tried both the AirSense 10 and AirSense 11? What do you think? Thank you for watching!!!

Airsense 10 is not supported by the Resmed My Air app.
My Air app is complete trash, so that's not a loss.
@@Freecpapadvicewhat app do you use?
Resmed air sense 11 is a horrible product. Unless you’re looking to suffocate. 😂😂🍺🍺
I used the Airsense 10 for 5 years and now I've used the Airsense 11 for 1 year. Yes, I do miss the swiveling hose on the Airsense 10. One thing I don't like about the 11 is that it's noisier than the 10. Even with earplugs, there's a slight whining noise I can hear from the 11 with the N30 mask. When I use the 10 it's dead silent, no sound at all with ear plugs. Also, the 11 started having heating problems with the humidifier after about 8 months. I had to get a new replacement. The 10 lasted all 5 years with no issues. Even with all that, I still do like the 11.
Wow you must be a really light sleeper. I find really no noise from the 11.
@@af1966 Same for me, even my wife said the 11 is quieter than my previous 10...and I had two of them for 10 years! The ResMed specs state that the 11 is slightly noisier than the 10...27 vs. 26.6 dBA, but the 11 uses less power...65W vs. 90W AC. Personally, I like the smaller profile of the 11 and the larger power button. Also, I get my results on the app immediately after turning my 11 off. The 10 would take larger for the results to be available from the ResMed database, but usually within an hour.
If it rolls over you need a longer hose such as a 10ft hose and turn the machine sideways (the 11) so the hose is coming directly to you. Put it on a silicone mat so it won't move.
I purchased the Airsense 10 Auto auto card to cloud. No Bluetooth. But For $400, it seems like a great deal to me.
I believe during Covid when there were supply chain shortages. They had to construct machines without modems. I use Oscar and it has an SD card. So it works fine for me.
Best deal going. Not a fan of the 11, many reasons go beyond Jason's review. It has the AirMini motor, for one! Lots of foam in it, for another.
I have been using CPAP's for over 20 years. I have been through several devices and my last unit is the AirSense 10 Respond, which I have had for about 5 1/2 years. It appeared that the AirSense 11 doesn't have the heated hose feature that my AirSense 10 has, and I am very found of. If I am able to select between the two, I will select the AirSense 10 Again. It has been the most effective of all the CPAP's I have owned and the most care free. So I don't plan to change.
It does have a tube Warmer. ! I love the 11 !! LOVE the FOR HER SETTINGS !
I have the heated tube for my AirSense 11. It’s great.
The air sense 11 has a heated hose. Perhaps the base model option comes with a standard (non-heated) hose but mine included the heated version.
The 11 might hold the same amount of water but it’s really hard to not spill any when you fill it up to the max. Really easy to put too much and the lower profile means it spills when you move the tank.
I have an AirSense 11 and I've got no problems with any of the hassles described in the video.
Me too
Me too
Me three
I have the 11 I've never had any problems of it tipping over of course I rolled the hose around the side and back around and it seems to not bother the machine at all but no issues with it
I have an 11. I have the hose facing me. Never had a problem with the hose with it facing away
I use an AirSense 11. I trialed an AirCurve 10 ASV for a few weeks. I liked the interface on the 11 more. The 11 was also noticeably quieter. One advantage the 10 had been the availability of a 12V power supply. I just recently noticed 12V supplies are available for the 11. I have one on order. It should make it more efficient to power my CPAP while camping.
I had heard the 11 was a little bit noisier, but I really couldn't hear much of a difference. The motor is smaller in the 11 (uses the same motor as the mini). They must use better sound proofing.
Wish this vid was out before I bought the AS11 in December. I’m pretty sure after watching your videos and “others “ I would be much happier with a bi-level machine. I’ve just started CPAP therapy and have hacked my way through a few nights of misery so far. I’m getting closer to a good “compromise “ pressure and mask situation. One day, hopefully soon, I’ll be contacting you for a fine tune on my settings. Until then my buddy Jason, wishing you the best and very thankful for your talent and passion to help folks. Cheers
As a majority of patients, I also started with a CPAP, and it did a really great job. It may be enough for you.
I have the chance to start with a very good mask... for me (I am a side sleeper, nice leak control, confortable) : the ResMes Mirage FX.
I now have a bi-level for my UARS, and I wanted to try another mask. I tried 5 (!!!) other masks that I completely dislike (skin irritation with the DreamWear Silicone Pillow) or like less than my first ResMed Mirage FX : A "big" nasal mask with flexible headgear.
My opinions :
"Big" nasal masks are much more comfortable than small nasal masks (AirFit N30i) or nasal pillow masks (AirFit P30i)
=> more surface area in contact with the skin, less pressure, better comfort.
Also, it is always nice to have a full face mask when sick. I like the F&P Vitera : very comfortable and nice leak control.
Take your time and don't be afraid to try multiple masks and find a mask that you like 😀
@@LucMasse-pr5uu Did you find a big difference between CPAP vs BPAP for your UARS? I have SA and UARS (6 AHI/25 RDI) and CPAP has helped alot but I still want that remaining 30% of my sleep quality back. Thinking of getting a Bipap in the future.
I was able to stretch out my S9 to 10 years, and recently was faced with deciding between an AirSense 10 or 11 for a new machine. Didn't know about the tipping comparison between the two, but I would think that would be a minimal issue for most users. I did think the reservoirs had different volumes, but you confirmed they hold the same volume of water. The 11 is more vulnerable to spillage and I've heard mixed reviews on it's heating plate design. The motors on the 10 and 11 are different. The decibel levels are not that different, but maybe the durability and lifecycle costs of the motors might come into play. Surprised ResMed didn't keep the same Climatline tubing and connection used on the 10 for the 11. Carrying bag for the 11 is fairly compact. Like the idea that the machine can receive OTA SW updates.
My DME recently supplied me with the air sense 10. There is no connection for the DME or doctor to receive the info from the machine. After I called and spoke with the DME compliance department they said “just mail in the SDcard. So the charges can go through but how does the MD get results? Called the doctor-she called in the order for the air sense 11. Now waiting for delivery. She really wants the connection.
I started using an Airsense 11 from October 3 this year, and it works perfectly. I sleep more and very well, I don't have anything wrong to say about it.
Had an AS10 Autoset, but on doing an in-lab sleep test, was changed to an AS10 Aircurve ST BiPAP. There is a difference in the way the pressures are managed, but now that I am used to it breathing is better. It does affect how full-face masks work - I can not get one (tried like 5 different ones) to work without leaks, and the pressure change (mine is 16 inhale, 8 exhale) makes the silicone cushion inflate/deflate to the point of not sleeping.....so the F&P Evora nasal mask and mouth-tape from BSN Cover-Roll does the best. I agree on picking an AirCurve if you are buying new.
I have an airsence 11 and have been using it for about 4 days. Very easy to use.
If you have never used a cpap it might feel wired but it's something you well get used too.
Velcro to the table and remove the concern of tilt or pulling? I don't have mine yet but will Velcro based on your observation.
May not be needed, plus Velcro attracts dust, not what you want around the machine. Mine has never tipped. GL
I just got the airsense11 for what I'm told is severe apnea and I have a hard time weeding through the flip comments and rushed explanations... I'm feeling pretty lost and its only been 5 days and I feel I need to get back to my doctor to reset something.. I get air collecting in my mouth that I have to expel and I don't think that's supposed to happen. Because my 02 was drifting down into the 50's at night I'm nervous about taking my regular medications with a cpap that might not be doing what it's supposed to be doing... not happy.
Had AS10 and last year it broke, replaced with AS11, happy with it so far. What I don’t like is you can’t completely shut off with button (have to pull plug) so touch screen stays on for a few minutes after use. The hose port inside AS11 unlike AS10 easily pops out for cleaning. Weirdly every night AS11 blows air for a few seconds at 30 mins after use.
The 10 does that too... see the snowflake? It's running 2cm cooling cycle, cooling the tub and hose.
I was just issued an Airsense 11 by the VA. So far I’m satisfied with it. The technology aspect is quite impressive as you can see the progress each night via an app that is connected to the machine.
Believe it or not, the airsense 11 is more difficult to operate for someone with arthritis due to the sensitivity of the screen and low profile. I regret switching to the 11, the 10 just seems as if it’s better made.
my thoughts exactly. Something you want to stay on your bedstand *should* be heavy!
Resmend Airsense 11 does flip over easy. Both do what is meant to do. The Resmed Airsense 10 I like swivel part on machine for the hose. I think it would help the 11 not to tip over as easily as does, if had as well.
I am currently using the Airsense 11. However, I use an old Resmed S9 for travel, since I can use it without the humidifier. Yes, I can use the 11 with the adapter in place of the humidifier. But it doesn’t really make a significant difference in the footprint or weight. What I really would like is a light weight power supply. Would be nice not to have my carry on bag be so heavy.
That swivelling tube is really handy when you travel and have to change sides of the bed your COAP is on or even at home it might be pointing the wrong way! I’d go with the older model.
I always pack a short extension cord which has been handy
You mentioned that you had trouble with the machine rolling up and getting water into the hose while pulling it. Personally, I always position my S9 machine with the hose pointing toward me when I am in bed. What does anyone else do? Also, I've always thought that it would be nice if manufacturers made heavy plates that could attach to the bottom of the machine to prevent movement while using it.
Velcro would be a good solution to prevent tipping. Works great with guitar pedals on pedalboards!
@@smokingtarheel3003 Not sure if I want to glue down one half of velcro to my nightstand, but there has to be a way around the gluing part.
@@Billsfan2012 It's an adhesive backed product. That being said, I've never had my 11 tip over after 2 years.
Or options for fastening it to something, tethering, screwing, clamping, etc.
No tipping for me, tube comes out the back around the side and down under the pillow. Quiet machine AS11
Agree 100 on spending a few more bucks to get the Aircurve. So what about noise? Seems like you mentioned the 11 has the smaller and higher rpm motor, and different insulation, therefore 11 might be louder?
Also, so what part of a flowrate curve would indicate UARS such you would want to get the Aircurve?
Good question .
Thanks for the great review. I have recently hired a F&P SleepStyle+ PLUS Auto machine but it makes this whining noise when you breathe in, was wondering if the AirSense 11 made any noise at all?
It appears that there might be a significant aftermarket opportunity for some company that would be willing to make a universal swivel adapter for the AirSense 11 / AirCurve 11.
I’m having to choose between the 10 or 11 and I have concerns with both. Currently in Canada, they are both the same price. That being said the Airsense 10 is older, and will eventually be obsolete. As for the 11, it has issues with the heating & there is NO solution other than to replace it if it’s still under warranty. So which would you choose? Any helpful guidance would be appreciated. 🤷🏽♂️
I have used the as11 for about 3 years. The hose on the back I hate. I used a system 1 previously. It’s hose on the top with a 45 degree swivel much better. It was about 4 inches taller. I set the as11 on a wood box to make the hose level with the bed. I turned the hose connection to the bed. That also put the water chamber to the front making it way more convenient. I use a set pressure no auto mode. Overall I get along with it. Just the hose issue
I know these comments are not associated with the subject. I respect your knowledge on CPAP’s. There has been a lot of discussions about mouth taping. I had my first sleep study in Aug 2023. Later I discovered I could not use the nasal mask without taping my mouth closed. I got to wondering what would happen if I just taped my mouth closed during the night not using CPAP machine. I convinced my sleep doctor that I had quit drinking and lost weight ( not really honest) but I wanted another sleep study with my mouth taped closed during the test.
In March 2024 I had my second sleep study.
Results: First study, Time under 88% oxygen saturation 35 min, Second study 9 min.
First study, Central apnea index 4.1 events per hour. Second study 0.5 events per hour.
First study AHI was 33.8 events per hour. Second study 27 events per hour.
What other data would you like? Comments?

I need to get a new machine soon and want to get the aircurve 10 Vauto. It would seem that the $600 heated hose is not needed. I have had two dreamstations for five years total. Looking forward to a change.
I've been using AS11 since July on CPAP setting (on your advice I convinced my sleep dr) My complaint is the reservoir warps. I've gone through two. I tried a heated hose and it used all the water and warped. Replaced it, ditched the heated hose and one night used all the water and that one warped. By that I mean it won't close tight without a gap. Nobody can tell me if this is ok or not. BTW I'm in a very dry Midwestern winter climate.
What number setting do you have your humidifier on? I had mine on 6 and it almost used up all the water every night so I turned it down to 5.
I find I use less water in the CPAP tank if I run a humidifier in my room -- might help with the running dry problem.
I've boiled my 10 dry many times (stinks!) and the tub has never warped. I don't like that circular plate design, I think the 10 has it right with the square larger plate.
Hello! Thanks for you informative and funny videos. I been using the res med 11 for a month and a half. I do not have any cronic condition, but my blood pressure goes down and the oxygenation. The machine was brand new (as far.as i know) i ck the hours and most likely match my usage time my only concern is when cleaning it is the time that this tubes take to dry. Any suggestions?
Just got the11. Had the 10. Big improvement. I always used fhe nose mask and a head sling. Now i am usi gthefull face mask. And so far so good
The problem with the ResMed heated tube is that it's only 6 ft long it doesn't come in a longer lehgth
My airsense 11 isn't too bad. but looking into getting the aircurve vauto
#CPAPLegend! It’s been five years and I’m renewing my CPAP. I’m going back to the old reliable air sense 10! No 90° elbow was the dealbreaker for me on the 11! Btw do you need a different prescription for the bilevel????
You know that you can add a part to the back of the 11 that you can buy from an internet seller that is an elbow and that swivels. Did you know that?
@@af1966 Does it have the electrical connection for the heater?
Loved my first AS10... when I popped 22000 hours I bought another 10, the C2C, for 399$... now *that's* a steal! Then I rebuilt the old one, put a new motor from Amazon, even soldered in a new clock battery, then completely disassembled and cleaned it. Put another 500 hours on it, runs like a champ... so I put vAuto firmware on the C2C, now it thinks it's a bi-level!
@@af1966 probably but does it have a connection for the heated tube?
I have used the 11 for a year with no problems. It is my first unit so I have nothing to compare it to. Does it work? Yes. Does it help me? I have no idea- I need to have an analysis done by a professional polysomnographer...
Get my 11 tomorrow. Its the first time using a CPAP
Congrats! Hope it's doing you a good job.
You’re going to love it!
Went from an S9 that was falling apart ti an air sense 11 about 6 months ago and with the help of you and another channel and using OSCAR abd learning how to read the data with your help(using sleep HQ free as like a cloud backup) my sleeps got significantly better. Highly recommend your channel add the air sense 11
I love the 11 !
In Australia we would have to pay nearly $4,000 AUD for an AirCurve 10 vs $1,400 AUD for the Air Sense Auto set vs $2,000 AUD for the Air Sense 11.
Little secret... I"m running vAuto firmware on an Airsense 10, no problems. It's out there... google 'cpap airbreak'.
We're getting shamelessly ripped off in this country
Just an FYI your sponsor sell the Airsense 10 for 960.00 and sells the Aircurve 10VAuto for 1816.00 so its double the price not $100.00 more .
Pause the video at 7:35 in the video. Then at 7:49 I say it's $150 more. It's the card to cloud version. All units displayed are here for a price check: cpapsupplies.com/machines/?manufacturer=822
Thank you so much for your honest and humorous review...
1. My tube is about 6 feet long. It doesn't come close to snagging and lifting my RM 11 off the table. 2. A simple right angle attachment can by bought anywhere to attach your tubing to the machine. My DME supplier gave it to me, but they are less than a buck at any home improvement store. Plumbing section has tons of PVC fittings.
Doesn't work for the Cliimateline connection.
I’ve only known the Airsense 11. If I was not on Medicare and had no insurance, then yeah I’d back petal in technology and spring for the Airsense 10 because of costs. In a little over a year I’ve set my unit on a no grip liner that’s used in drawers, so my unit doesn’t move or roll. But… the only problem I have had with the Airsense 11 that I’ve seen mentioned in a few places over the last 3-4 months, is the humidification heating unit going kaput. Contacting my sleep center and DME offered a one day swap out.
Another good video. Do you have any information on the NIGHTLASE procedure for sleep apnea? Thanks.
My 11 faces away from me on the silly stand I had to put it on to get it below my bed because - water issues for my hydration I still use. That means the back is facing my bed, never had a tip. Did I just jinx myself??? Lol 😂
No you didn't. I do the exact same thing with my 11. And I use a 10 ft hose
Thank you for your videos, they are a rapid bootcamp to figure this stuff out. I wondered why my tank was dry and also had mask leak issues so that small detail was useful. So many variables in what will and won't work and why. I've got the SD card ordered to play with Oscar, should be interesting.
I started using a CPAP machine with the AirSense 11 (about 1 1/2 years ago) so I don't have a perspective on older models but I'm very happy with the 11. It's changed my life. I sleep so much better! I've also traveled with the 11 and it's not a burden.
What mask are you using? I cannot get used to it, I end up taking it off a few hours after putting it on.
@@TV-cx2zw - ResMed AirTouch N20. I think it's comfortable, but it did take about a week to get used to. My wife's complaining about my snoring was strong motivation to stick with it. Good luck.
@TV-cx2zw I know it sucks at first. I had the same problem with removing my mask. Are you using a full face mask or nasal pillow? What helped me was turning off the ramp feature along with switching from the f20 to the f40 mask. The f20 made sleeping on my side impossible without getting significant leakage. The most important thing is not giving up and working with your Dr on finding the best mask and pressure that works best for you.
I like to pre-warm the water tank. My biggest complaint with the AirSense 10 is how many spins and clicks of the dial I have to do in order to start the pre-heat on the humidifier tank. Did they make turning on pre-heat any easier on the 11? My first CPAP machine had a button on top for that ... easy peasy. Come on ResMed, why make it a 300 level computer science project to turn on pre-heat?
All I know that I have had at least 3 times more screw-ups and breakdowns using the Airsense 11 for maybe a year and a half compared with the many years I used the Airsense 10. After having so many breakdowns with the Airsense 11- both with my own machine and the loaners I got while my own machine was being fixed - I’m a fan of the 10. I don’t care if the 11 has more fancy-dancy features. Who cares if the 11 breaks down 😢constantly? Take my advice - keep your 10 until they come out with the 12. The 11 just isn’t made as well.
I use fisher& paykel full face mask flexifit 432 what is the upgraded model thanks
Vitera
what about a VAUTO Bi-Pap 10 vs VAUTO Bi-Pap 11 comparison
Should be almost identical... the 10 has a more robust motor, I'd go with the 10.
The thing that I find with my 11, my first machine ever, is with mouth taping I get zero leak but I'm still having routinely 3 to 5 episodes an hour. I feel like this is not good.6 and 0.3 or some my new amount
>5 means you're treated. Join a forum and start reading your Oscar graphs to go lower.
Just got my first ever machine today, this one. I'm a little scared to try it. I got the nostril only mask to try that first. yeah, i'm a little scared to use it. Any tips for first night with this thing?
It can take months to get used to it and tune all the settings to maximize your comfort and sleep quality. Keep using it every night and tweaking things until you find what works best for you, including trying out different masks.
I was hoping you would talk about the ‘for her’ and ‘for him’ setting on Airsense 11.
I did speak about the algorithms. They are all ineffective at attaining and maintaining optimal pressures.
Ok so here is why I am very confused why, though a pep settings are always downplayed. After watching all of the videos, I’ve been only doing CPAP for several months. I’ve had a horrible leaks and AHIS . That for her setting ended with zero leaks. !! Only 1 event ! I was SHOCKED! I’ve been having 40 large leaks or so . Why would someone do better on the for her settings?
I’m still in shock ! Please anyone??
Oh that is so interesting! I didn't know that setting existed...
Would you recommend the Airsense 11? No regrets?
I've been researching and researching which machine to get as my medical device supplier only carries the airsense 10, airsense 11, and Luna G3.
I'm replacing like a 12 year old Philips respironics "system one" machine.

@@juliethompson3887 Evidently the algorithm works for you. Jason is a thicc boi... he does not understand.
The AS10 Autoset C2C is *significantly* cheaper than the modem AS10 or the AS11...
I was prescribed cpap. can I buy the AirCurve 10 with the same prescrioption?
probably but to quote Jason, the AirCurve 10 is worth extra $150, so maybe come out of pocket if necessary.
It depends on your prescription because your prescription should say any machine it should not be written for a particular machine so check that your prescription says any machine and if it doesn't get your doctor to write it that it says any machine
I like to start my treatment with "Run mask fit" every night. This way, I have time to adjust my sleeping position, my mask for leaks and calm my breathing before the PAP treatment start for real and start recording on the sd card. This way, less false events flag and the Sleep Report is cleaner (especially for Vt - Tidal Volume)
I like my AirSense 10 Elite (buy used) and my AirCurve 10 VAuto (bi-level for UARS treatment) physical buttons and knob, this way I can access the menu without my reading glasses : I can count the steps on the knob to access "Run mask fit"
Nice bonus : the screen stay clean.
The swiveling heated tube thing help since I like to have the screen facing me. I always check how my night went using the "Sleep Report". I like to check sleep time, RR, Ti and I:E for fun. I also like to check AHI, leak and Vt (especially now on bi-level) to see if everything is ok.
If everything is ok (feeling good and Sleep Report ok) I can be weeks without reading the SD Card using OSCAR.
The knob and physical button + the
swiveling tube thing + possibility to buy an after market motor + possible airbreak + lower cost on the used market : AirSense 10 is the winner for me.
My thoughts exactly... I have two of them now... rebuilt the old one (>22000 hours!)... new motor off Amazon, soldered in a new clock battery, completely disassembled and cleaned... put it back in service, now the C2C machine sits around!
I have the 11 now and after a few trips to my Dr person i think we finally have it dialed in.
The only advantage of 11 is it's quieter. Everything else is a step backward, esp. the crappy touch screen.
"larger tank wont do anything either" - but it does sir, it makes it so you only have to fill the tank once a week/month instead of every day or two :)
Good point. They should just scrap the APAP idea already and simply start everyone on the VAuto.
The for her APAP is the best !
I have vAuto frmware running on my AS10... if you know, you know.
If I cash app you could you show me how to use the airsence 11 via video chat for like 15 mins?
Personally I like the 10 WAY better than the 11
My 10 was super quiet till the end of its like. I have had the 11 for 1 day and tried it out....the noise!!! Why lord why is it so loud? THoughts?
Jason, I’m sorry, but you’re dead wrong about the humidity/leak thing. I use a full face because I’m a mouth breather and I like the humidity turned up. My leak rate is always really low but I will run out of water halfway through the night. I got a Cspring and the problem is solved.
What number do you have your humidity set on that you run out of water?
@@af1966
Generally 6. I'd like it higher, but then I keep getting rainout, even with a heated tube. Remember, water use can also depend on your pressure and the "exhaust factor" of your mask.
I LOVE the humidifier !!!
Good review. Thanks
In Australia there asignificant price difference at the moment, because the 11 is fairly new. So thanks for the video!!!
I think for comparison the bag is important. There is more room in an S10 bag and better cushioned than the S11 bag, which is thinner and if you have a full face mask, good luck squeezing it inside the S11 bag.
Very true!
Then just buy a bag for the 10 and use it for the 11
Wow I hate both bags. They were never big enough. They require you to crush your hose, and then smush your headgear in with the power cable (that's been on the floor?)
The flat zipper pocket on the outside holds next-to nothing, and those two ridiculous pockets on the inside flap, are they a joke??? I miss the sturdier, roomier bags that came with the S8 and S9.
good detail.
11 is quieter than the 10.
The power block is smaller, but I think uses more power.
No, the 11 uses 60w, the 10 90w. They are supposed to be the same noise, but what I hear is that the 11 is whinier. It has a smaller motor and noise foam in it.
ANYONE ELSE have trouble with the AS11 developing cracks on top of the Water Reservoir?? I've had it happen to two of them (and I'm gentle).
I love my AC10.
Scared of what the AC11 will be.
The 11 is awesome !
I have my resmed as10 velcroed to the bottom shelf of my nightstand with industrial strength Velcro. No flipping going on here. I will stick with the 10.
Yes Jason what is the best for your settings for your moisture control
I believe the answer is OFF OFF Manual OFF. Just a guess though.
We have a winner!!!!
10:47 Hi
I purchased the 10 model because it was only $400. I only have used it a couple of times. I sleep better when I don’t use the 😢 machine 😢😢😢😢
Sad! You must not be Severe grade... I'm uber ultra Severe, AHI >100, I'd die without it. If you monitor your O2 overnight you might be able to tell if you can get away without CPAP.
I started on A11. I hate it. I now use VAUTO. Way better. No more vertigo.
wider bottom for the win :)
wow--got to learn and laugh! Great job !
Can you get Lego Man to get in touch with Nicko and ask him to send you a Lowenstein Prisma 20A to review? I'd love your feedback because I have really found your content both frank, funny and with quality info. I'm new to CPAP after getting a hospital diagnosed AHI of 33.7 and after testing the Dreamstation and the Lowenstein Prisma Smart, The Prisma 20A was just on a whole different level. I know it's not available in the US at the moment, but still worth a look for your international viewers. The Soft PAP 3 setting was the thing that sold me, it works so well when still in APAP mode but with the same high and low CmH20 level, or maybe 0.5 difference in the two.
Softpap isn't worth the effort compared to EPR
Have you used a Lowenstein machine? Specifically the Prisma 20A?
Where would you buy the Lowenstein in the United States?
So the answer to my question is no, you haven't used the Lowenstein machine.
So my question now is, why would you say it is not as good as Resmed? Furthermore, did you read my comment where I clearly stated that Lowenstein machines are not yet available in the US?
@@danielforrest3232 Not as good. ResMed has integrated thermostatic/hygrostatic heated hoses, Lowenstein doesn't.
Why does he suddenly start talking about the bilevel machine in the middle of a review of the AS11?
Hi Jason! Love your channel! Have had the AS 11 for about a year now and do not think it is as good of quality as my previous AS 11 that I had for over 5 yrs (Had to do an upgrade per insurance) Miss the rotating option for my climate control tube. And yes I have tipped it. 😣
To answer a question that usually isn't asked but should be.
Because, in the reviewer's opinion, it is worth paying $150 more for the AirCurve.
Because Bilevel is awesome
@@apriltenney9015you couldn't have it the 11 for 5 years because it only became available during the summer of 2021
Who else loves how their humidifier chamber falls over when they try to make it stand open like that at 1:35? It just flops right the f**k over, doesn't it? It's so amusing. 🤬 Especially since my CPAP is in my bedroom by my bed and not on my granite kitchen counter.
Also, who else is left-handed and LOVES how the fill-line is only visible to right-handed people? Touching, really, thanks guys. You shouldn't have. Oh right, you didn't. How endearing. ❤
No matter how carefully I try to fill that thing, even just ⅔ full, a few drops almost inevitably trickle out the back near the hinge, leaving a little wet spot. I've just taken to keeping a towel nearby. I can't set it directly on top of a towel because the fabric just makes it more unstable and almost ensures that it will topple.
I would've snagged that new Fischer and Paykel but I need a prescription and yadda yadda. Eh, I'm alive, so, whatever; I'll use a towel until my 11 bites the dust in 5-7 years and hope things will have improved by then.
Bought one almost 2 years ago. This is the seconnd time I have amechanical problem with, was the modem now the eating plate. The worst after sale service I ever had. No more ResMed products for me.
you confused me with this video. I currently use the airsense 10 but I'ver had it for nearly 5 years at this point I think I need a new one
Roll the 10 and water gets into the motor… roll the 11 and the water doesn’t get in. I use the F30i mask which has the swivel at the top so never had difficulties. I agree regarding the air curve but in Australia it’s almost twice the price of the Airsense 11. You can buy the Airsense 11 yourself whereas you need a prescription from a specialist to buy the Aircurve … in Australia. The 11 is marginally noisier than the 10.
You could buy the air curve, ship it to someone in the USA and have that person ship it to you in Australia
@@af1966 true and there are companies in the US that will receive and redirect. You’ll have difficulty with warranty and I’m not sure an Australian prescription is valid in the US.
I merely bumped my S11 and water blasted through the whole apparatus and straight up my nose. The hose, headgear, and the insides of the machine were soaked. I was grateful I still had my S10 as a backup that night.
@@ChillDfect I’ve more than bumped it as have a number of reviewers, no ingress of water at all. I’ve also had it packed while 4wheeling and stupidly forgot to empty the water … found it upside down and on its side … no ingress of water to the motor area at all, everywhere else yes. A strong bump could perhaps do that but it wouldn’t have entered the motor, it’s not designed that way.
It's a shame the Aircurve costs $4000 AUD here in Australia. Twice the price of the APAP
Buy it from a seller in the United States and then have it shipped from a friend in the United States to Australia
I'm running vAuto firmware on my AS10 C2C. It's out there if you dig... google 'cpap airbreak'.
Upper airway resistance syndrome? Wha-aaat is that? 😂. Another video coming? I just bought another CPAP too. I’m thinking maybe … should I have bought a bilevel? Good video!

What you're showing for the prices of the machines is way too high because every day I get emails in my inbox from different websites that sell the machines and the prices are much lower
Hello good sir Jason 🫡 do you know if any of the resmed bipaps go to a pressure of 30? I have the old Phillips bipap ST, but want a new one for a back up since Phillips got recalled, thank you 🙏
I think the ASV can do 30.
Cons from perspective of moving from DreamStation 1 to ResMed AirSense 11:
- AirSense 11 is Loud, I feel like I have Darth Vader hovering over me as I am breathing through it. I sleep with a Fan going that drowns it out though so acceptable with fan. Without fan noise I would never get to sleep with this machine.
- Hose in back is annoying. I guess if I turn the machine around backwards it is ok. Dreamstation had connection on top on swivel which was great.
- Water tank is annoying. Easy to spill water. Dreamstation was the gold standard for water tank.
- With Dreamstation I was very well rested every morning and fell asleep easily without issues. With this Airsense 11 with same settings and same mask, I am having issues sleeping. Something is different with this machine and I dislike it so far. Hopefully I can figure it out but may just be the machine.
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.
Forgot to add, the 11 is quieter but the filter is all the way in the back of the machine and thus hard to get to. Worst feature is the auto shutoff when the machine senses a leak, it sucks the air and what feels like the life out of you when it auto shuts and the mask is on…ooof.
You can turn off the SmartStop function in the clinician menu. You'll just have to turn the machine off manually when you wake.
Thank you, I’ve done that and it’s so much better. I’m still waking up with a dry mouth and tank it’s so frustrating. I am exactly between a small and medium size in masks. @@ChillDfect
APAP user for over 12 years, started with the S9 for 5 yrs then AS10 for 7 yrs, had the 11 for 3 wks and hated the whining sound (effecting my sleep) so my supply center swapped it for a new 10. Much happier now.
10 is the best machine going. 11 has foam in it!
Which do you think legal man would want to use The one with the bigger tank so that he can swim around lol thanks for everything Jason
I think it's "Lego Man."
I've use both AS10 & AS11. I find they both function well. The AS11 is a tad louder, but only by a hair. I use a 90 degree elbow adapter from my old AS10 with it, so I don't mind that it doesn't swivel. My only gripe is that the water tank "clicks" as I inhale and exhale - which I've overcome by placing an elastic band in the latch as I close the lid. To be honest, I like them both. I only bought the AS11 for the smaller size and nicer screen. It was the same price as the AS10, do I figured why not. If I had to do it again, I'd probably make the same choice. 😊
Legoman is working on his JD, so it's an honest mistake.
@@FreecpapadviceLOL
It does sound like he's saying "Legal Man" at one point in the video. 😄
@2:20 Totally False. A larger tank is needed in super dry climates. Resmed hasn’t tested the product in the driest parts of the USA.
The driest parts of the USA are when central air conditioning is used! In west Texas we used propane in winter and evap coolers in summer... kept us moist.
the 10 is thicc baby
Hate the 11, bought another 10.
Seems like ResMed keeps doing away with things I liked. First off, WHY did they get rid of the swivel??? Now with the S11 my mask gets twisted around and pulled askew, because it doesn't have that swivel. WHY did they replace the simple gray power cable of the S9 with the "two-cables-and-a-clunky-converter-box-but-with-only-one-velcro-tie" combo? I HATE those!
Why did they make the humidifier chamber MORE of a floppy drippy tiny flimsy burny pain in the ass?
Why did they stop making the carry-case BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD EVERYTHING??? Traveling with the S9 was SOOO much easier than with the S10 OR S11. Everything about the S9 was way more conducive to grab-and-go. With the S10 and S11 you have to do a lot of fumbling and fiddling to cram everything into a case so ridiculously... and come on, what's with those two useless pockets on the inside flap??? Seriously! What kind of inane bullshit is that? And then the one zipper pocket on the outside with NO ROOM for anything!
These are some of the reasons I snapped to attention when watching your recent video covering the Fisher & Paykel stuff. The F&P SleepStyle has a lot of the features I miss about ResMed stuff, yes including the handle on top.
Another criticism of both the S10 and S11: those numbers in the "sleep report" are such BS. Like you said in another video: random number generators.
Sleep report: "You slept 6 hours."
Me: "That's not very reassuring, since I only took a 1-hour nap. "
I appreciate all the leaps in functionality, the heated hoses, the clinician's remote access, etc, but why did they abandon good stuff they already had, and for something shittier?
As for the problem of accidentally pulling machines onto the floor, I've had that problem with every machine I've ever owned, except maybe my big Millennium Falcon-sized S8.
