I use one every night. Took it to Ireland last year, took it on 17 night cruise this year, used it in caravan on 12V. No probs so far, been using it for 18 months. Change the filter mostly monthly, found I can get then filters cheaper on Amazon.
Great review! I have watched others of yours about the travel CPAPS. I have also watched other ones done. Yours is very easy to listen to and understand. I have been looking for a review of the travel CPAP and extended backpacking. There doesn't seem to be one. So when I return from my trip maybe I will do one. :). It will include carrying battery power and it cannot be the 12Volt car battery that some of the camping videos show when at a campground or in a RV, I think I will use the Medistom with the new power adapter for the ResMed Mini and purchase a 'piggyback' Medistrom. If I come into a town every 3-4 days I will be able to recharge. The battery will add quite a bit of weight with charging cable. Fortunately, many hiking materials are ultralight now. Thanks again. I waived between the three smaller travel units, but with all consideration - including powering it - I think I will get the ResMed Mini.
Great Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Franaar Magic Dream Formula (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for eradicating sleep apnea and snoring without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Silver Bee 🐝. Sooooooo true. I get so sick and tired of hearing about ‘noise’. The machine noise is so quiet compared with snoring and gasping for air. You hit the nail on the head. Well said 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hello, thank you kindly. There is also some noise that can't be heard, it's noise that travels up the tube. I highly recommend trialling a travel unit before purchase. Cheers
You measured the noise level at the device. However, the noise one hears is not really coming from the machine. With the long hose, you can place it further away and hence not hear the noise coming out from the device. It is the noise level near the mask that is the problem, loud when breathing in and out. I dont get this loud breathing problem when using the Resmed Airsense 10. And it would seem to be the major issue with the device. I bought the device 4 years ago and hardly use it. As for cost, I am sure you can ship from the US and it would be much cheaper.
Nice unbiased video. I don't have a ton of money to throw around, so I'm not going to buy it. By the way, I am 59 and I CAN STILL HEAR very well (LOL!)
Seeking your opinion..,.,I use a Bipap machine at home but need a ResMed Air Mini for travel. Can I use the Air Mini for a week or so without "consequences"? Thanks very much
the moisture exchange sounds like a great bacteria breeder - I'll look for the cost of filters and maybe try the 30 day test. Really curious how this would work for me on long international flights
Hi has any one reviewed the actual humidity aspect of this unit - is it as effective as a regular full size unit or does it leave people with a dry sore throat?
I just bought this and an adapter for my Philips Dreamwear mask but it is still super noisy. I do not have the humidifier attachment. I have also tried it with an F30 mask but not happy. Should I return it or try nasal pillows? ( I am a mouth breather) but use Somnifix strips. My pressure is set at 8.16 cm and EPR 3 whatever that means!
G'day Frank. The best travel one is the Z2 Auto. It's about $1199 AUD but you can get them on payment plans for about $300/month which is pretty reasonable. All the best and thanks for the kind words z2cpap.com.au/z2-cpap-payment-plans/
You mentioned that there were much cheaper options for travel CPAPS; what are they? I've lugged an F&P Icon on a couple of overseas business trips and even used it once on a long haul flight, so keen to find a more compact alternative.
Yes it will be very pricey and they are certainly not the smallest travel unit. I have heard though that they are really quiet for a 'travel' pap. Cheers
Hi Nick. I’m experiencing rainout on the Air mini. Any idea what the cause might be? The mini is attached to a new P10 , with a new humidex plus. It is humid here but the bedroom is air conditioned to 20 degrees and it’s not blowing directly on me. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Cheers
Hi there, you just use a little adaptor that connects to your cpap and then you can run in oxygen to the PAP therapy. Here's the link amzn.to/34ZzLTq Have a great day
No HME will be as good as large water chamber humidifier however they serve a purpose and are small and portable. Perhaps just visit tropical humid climates on holidays
Nick, the commentary on these machines is that the noise come from the HMA filter. Could you measure the decibels from the HMA filter, rather than from the machine itself?
I wish insurance would cover this machine but since they got me a ResMed AirSense 10, they won't and I can't see paying $900 US for it. To be far with that decibel test, the meter should be where your head is and not right next to it.
I found this unit ridiculously noisy. The machine itself is noisy but the tube at the point of the silly humidifier is worse still and only inches from ears. Don’t ask your wife in the kitchen if she can hear you - ask your partner trying to sleep next you. Bordering on useless and there are many people who have exchanged their unit if possible.

Hi Uncle Nicko! Can Bipap (Aircurve 10V auto) users use Air minis?
I use one every night. Took it to Ireland last year, took it on 17 night cruise this year, used it in caravan on 12V. No probs so far, been using it for 18 months. Change the filter mostly monthly, found I can get then filters cheaper on Amazon.
Grat video mate !!! The old person jokes are priceless! Cheers..
My house is in the center of the map you are showing. You are right about age and noise. I take my hearing aids off at night.
Awesome mate! That's one way to cut out the noise haha
Thanks for all you do! and share
Super helpful! Answered lots of questions I could not suss out on my own on the websites. Thanks much!
Cheers Kathryn, glad you liked it

I just ordered mine in. In regards to noise honesty whats better.. slight breathing or your partner gasping for air and snoring.
Silver Bee 🐝. Sooooooo true. I get so sick and tired of hearing about ‘noise’. The machine noise is so quiet compared with snoring and gasping for air. You hit the nail on the head. Well said 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you.. very thoroughly review - the noise test was very helpful
Hello, thank you kindly. There is also some noise that can't be heard, it's noise that travels up the tube. I highly recommend trialling a travel unit before purchase. Cheers
Thank you for a great Review, I Subscribed I hit the bell and order one.
Cheers Benny :)
Thanks for the info, very conscious. Keep them coming..
Thanks Adam, will try to find some more time to do some more :-)

Great review. Thanks!
Thanks Lynda, appreciate that :)
How do I connect to your web page. I no longer have anywhere to add a machine. When I had O2 ring it would not let me import data.
Hi Nick. Where is part 2 of this review please?
When I click on the link for Part 2, It says "private". Is it available somewhere?
Would you be able to review the BMC M1 Mini and compare it with Resmed Mini?
Nice unbiased video. I don't have a ton of money to throw around, so I'm not going to buy it. By the way, I am 59 and I CAN STILL HEAR very well (LOL!)
Thanks for the feedback. Glad the ears are still serving you well
Is the humidity filter required in the tropics.
Can it be used without the humidity filter
Probably don't need it in humid areas. I think you need to use it for the ResMed but you just wouldn't replace it :-)
Seeking your opinion..,.,I use a Bipap machine at home but need a ResMed Air Mini for travel. Can I use the Air Mini for a week or so without "consequences"? Thanks very much
the moisture exchange sounds like a great bacteria breeder - I'll look for the cost of filters and maybe try the 30 day test. Really curious how this would work for me on long international flights
They only last 10-14 day’s so you’re very safe. It’s an epic machine and highly recommended. Reviews are A+
Thanks. I can't find the link for part 2. Could you provide the link please?

Where did you find adapter/what’s the adapter called. I can’t find one
Cheers Nick,would really like the travel kit Mate but there is no way We can afford it. Really enjoy Your videos.
G'day Frank. The best travel one is the Z2 Auto. It's about $1199 AUD but you can get them on payment plans for about $300/month which is pretty reasonable. All the best and thanks for the kind words
z2cpap.com.au/z2-cpap-payment-plans/
Thanks for that
It should be a fairly simple exercise to modify the tubing to accept a standard end and then use the mask of your choice.
Good video mate. Subscribed ;)
Nice work mate! Can you tell me where to find the directions to change the cm pressure? My Rx says 8 cm. Thanks!!
I believe it's in part 2
@@CPAPReviews Part 2 is no longer on your site. Any clues?
Is it possible to change the air pressure on the mini?
Yes you need to access the clinical settings.
You mentioned that there were much cheaper options for travel CPAPS; what are they? I've lugged an F&P Icon on a couple of overseas business trips and even used it once on a long haul flight, so keen to find a more compact alternative.
Hello, yeah you can pick up the transcend machine four around $700 which is pretty good. The Z1 is also good value at around $1100. Kind regards
Nick
Thanks! I'm wondering whether it's worth waiting for the Philips Dreamstation Go, but it's going to be pricey!!
Yes it will be very pricey and they are certainly not the smallest travel unit. I have heard though that they are really quiet for a 'travel' pap. Cheers
Great info. Thanks. How much do the replacement moisture exchange filters cost and can you buy a few of them in a package? Thanks.
Hi Jennifer, depends on which ones but yes you can find some good deals out in the world wide web
Hi Nick. I’m experiencing rainout on the Air mini. Any idea what the cause might be?
The mini is attached to a new P10 , with a new humidex plus.
It is humid here but the bedroom is air conditioned to 20 degrees and it’s not blowing directly on me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Cheers
So the filter collects bacteria also - how often do you replace it?
Thanks well detailed Review
many thanks, hope it helped
How do you use oxygen with this device?
Hi there, you just use a little adaptor that connects to your cpap and then you can run in oxygen to the PAP therapy. Here's the link amzn.to/34ZzLTq Have a great day
Thankyou, enjoyed your video : )
Thanks Nicole :)
Does the humidX really work compared to a regular humidifier ?
No HME will be as good as large water chamber humidifier however they serve a purpose and are small and portable. Perhaps just visit tropical humid climates on holidays
is there going to be any problem if i use AirMini as my main machine even at home?
Hello, it doesn't have a humidifier so possibly. I would consult with your cpap clinic or do a 1 month trial. Best wishes
Hey Nick, would you advise the Air Mini as my primary CPAP given that my levels are around 9.6?
Nick, the commentary on these machines is that the noise come from the HMA filter. Could you measure the decibels from the HMA filter, rather than from the machine itself?
Peter Helton hello, the commentary is incorrect. The noise does not come from the filter.
That's good to know. Why do you think forum owners are complaining of more noise than they are used to compared to their Resmed 10's?
Because they are noisier than full size units especially above around 13cmH20.
So you mentioned the noise for the air mini was 60Db, what is it for the rested airsense 10 as a comparison?
I wish insurance would cover this machine but since they got me a ResMed AirSense 10, they won't and I can't see paying $900 US for it. To be far with that decibel test, the meter should be where your head is and not right next to it.
Mask has no vents ? How is the carbon dioxide expelled?
I found this unit ridiculously noisy. The machine itself is noisy but the tube at the point of the silly humidifier is worse still and only inches from ears. Don’t ask your wife in the kitchen if she can hear you - ask your partner trying to sleep next you.
Bordering on useless and there are many people who have exchanged their unit if possible.
6:55 ruh roh missed call! lol
HAHAHAH
Z1 is junk. And the worst customer service of any manufacturer.
Thanks, very informative
Cheers for the kind words Gwynneth
