I had the AirSense 10 since 2015 and I really liked it. There is nothing wrong with the design. In February of this year I upgraded to the AirSense 11. Everything you said on this video is spot on. I really have not noticed much of a difference between the two machines. I actually kept my old machine for a backup since it was still working. There are 2 differences that I noticed with the AirSense 11. The first is the climate tubing connector. On the AirSense 10 the connector is at a right angle which allows the machine to be closer to a wall. I always thought that was a clever design. On the AirSense 11 the climate tube attaches straight out the back and then must bend sharply. The other difference is with the water tank. On the AirSense 10 the airflow goes across the water in the tank and then out through the tubing. On the AirSense 11 the airflow is directed straight down into the water and then out through the tubing. This makes a subtle change to the humidity level in the tubing.
Thanks for the useful info When you say the difference in airflow changes the humidity, do you mean it’s higher in the 11 or lower (or some other change)?
Great video, good to know that there are some solid, smart people out there who are actually sharing useful information with people that need it. Keep it up man!
@@CPAPReviewshow can someone deal with what feels like unnatural breathing while on a CPAP. I tried for a month a model 10 and I rarely could sleep over 2 hours with it. Took 1-2 hours to go to sleep. From what I remember sleep specialist prescription was 4-14 and ramped up as you sleep. I don’t think mine every went over 8 but it felt like I was on a ventilator. I tried 3 different mask. Any ideas? I returned it in a month.
Thank you for your contributions. I really enjoy this channel ! I had the model 10 until about a year ago when my insurance upgraded me to the 11, and I have 2 main complaints about the 11: First, the water chamber has a weird shape and spills water when I’m filling it. Second, you have to really slam it home when you put it back into the unit, otherwise when it powers on air leaks out all around it. I do like the auto on feature, though !
My air10 suffered from to much 0zone and deteriorated from So clean disinfectant so thankfully insurance took care of most of bill for the resmed 11 cause I'm renting to eventually own. Thank you for the comparison.

Not related, just wanted to let you know I bought a Bluetti Power Station and its flippin amazing. It lasts 4 nights or so and charges under an hour. You dont need a cpap specific battery pack, they cost more and dont last as long. Check it out. Its the EB3A model.
Thanks for the video, I just started CPAP therapy 3 days ago and got the 11 for trial, without humidifier. Does the humidifier really make a huge difference? Greetings from the other side of the globe, and don't worry if you only have 1 bar, it's not the amount of bars that matters but the quality of the beer! 😉 Cheers
After watching this video, I ordered the dream wear head gear to attach to my n30i, and really like it. Thanks for the great idea. I had no idea that was possible 😊
I tried the Dream Wear because I liked the swivel connection on top. My beloved Swift II didn't have that and now never will apparently. The problem I encountered with the DW was it channels the air flow through the hollow cheek "straps" of the headgear itself. Hearing the air rush through the mask next to my ears all night was a no go for me. You may want to consider that. The similar design Air Sense nasal pillow mask SEEMS TO have those "straps" a bit further forward on the cheek and be less noisy. Haven't tried it on, just going on how it seems to fit the man in their video demo. We'll both see in time I guess.
Thanks for the review. I currently have an Airsense 10 and have had it for almost 5 years. In the past several months, the pressure has been getting weaker and weaker. Obviously it's probably aging and time to replace it. Previously I had a Phillips Respironics System One that lasted about 7 years before it gave up the ghost. The Airsense 11 seems interesting and while added tech and connectivity is newer, as you indicated it doesn't mean better. For a $800 difference, I may just get another Airsense 10 if it's still available.
I had a 10 for just over 5 years and they said I could upgrade for free. I got the 11 and after one nights use, I took it back, telling the technician that it would take a breath with each time I took a breath! In other words it was dang noisy!! I had both with me so I could demonstrate them, so he found a new 10 that included the reporting phone system. Ahhhh…. I’m back with a 10, and a happy camper, with a happy wife that doesn’t need to sleep in another room. 😊
I find that the 11 is smoother more natural feeling, quieter with less vibration. They are very close, but for me the 11 is better. One point for the 10 is the water chamber and filter housing are for more robust.
I love my 11. Touch screen is a nice thing to have. I hate the wheel on my 10. I have had my 11 since February and everything has worked great. Just got a update a few weeks ago been working great. Also I live in a small town and surrounded by fields and I have almost full bars on mine.
Gday mate I had the opportunity to try out the Resmed 11 while my 10 was being repaired . Actually I did not like the 11 and was so happy when my 10 was returned .
My A10 was an original that came off the line in spring 2014. When you say that the A10 and A11 have exactly the same algorithm, that's not true because the early A10's and the later A10's have different algorithms. I used a 2018 vauto for awhile and it made a huge difference, but I only realized after I used an A11 that all of the difference was between the first and second AirSense algorithms. The big difference for me is that the early A10 (which I think is actually the S9 algo) measures much higher flow limitations, which drives pressure up. I keep my minimum pressure on the A10 at 7 (EPR 3). Within a few minutes of falling asleep, my pressure is at 9-10 and never drops below 9 as long as I stay asleep. With the A11 I had to set my minimum pressure to 9; when it was 7 I would have an occasional very long OA (45-70 seconds) which would drive my SpO2 down into the low 80's or even 70s, and leave me with a raging headache the next day.
Hey @Uncle Nicko, I recall you saying in another video about the differences between AS10 and 11 is the water chamber (WC) on the AS11 is a better design and the WC on the AS10 had a leak flaw... 🤔❓️
Hey mate, nice vid, thanks. Think I'm going to go the 10 for my first machine, just to save some money.. Wondering, I heard you have to take it into the shop to get them to manually install the updates? How often do you have to do this for the 10? Thanks Also, seeing that I think the 10 is discontinued now? Will they still do the updates for the next 5 years or so, do you know?
Yet to find a setting on my airsence 10 that dosnt cook me, rain me out and dry me out at 2am? Dosnt matter the time of year either. My old silver resmed was the best, 2.5 and 22deg year round was perfect. Got No airleaks I've got a chin strap and hose liner? Even the auto settings aren't that much better...I'm shedding clothes at 2am in winter?
Have to say, I have liked my AirSense 11 better than my 10. The water reservoir is a little harder to use. But if you get a CSpring ,,,,, I like the 11 better- slightly.
have a I breeze and its not blowing the same amount of air. The pressure is way down on the ibreeze. So is this resmed air sensie is a free replacement from my cpap provider quit carrying the I breeze it was during covid is why I got the I breeze. So air sensi better than ibreeze or kinda the same
I would like to see a video for the 10 on how awful the air filters are in these! Just look at the filter when you turn it on it gets sucked in and exposes the bottom of the filter bypassing the filter completely..
I use the mask fit feature to get most of the water out of the main tube. Question: is the fitment end of the main hose compatible with F&P and vice versa (i.e. is it a universal connection)?
Hi there, no unfortunately not. The New AS11 is a straight connection whilst the AS10 has the right angle connection. I prefer the right angle connection. Cheers
1. Is there any benefit to the touch screen? If the other half is a light sleeper YES. Big trouble for me if I want to make an adjustment at night lol (I should add if its not obvious, I have a AS10)
Hi there, i'm not familiar with the power requirements and power consumption of an O2 concentrator unfortunately but something like this might work well - cpap.review/bluetti
it seemed that getting an old model didn't make a lot of sense to me. finally got the s11 after keeping a loaner machine for an extended period. so far so good? the accounts function in the app needs a bit of work - i couldn't figure out how to depair my phone and then pair a new blutooth device without deleting my account, then it wouldn't let me sign up for a new account with the same email address....... but it then let me sign into my deleted account? very strange. machine itself seems to work well.
AirSense 10 now available here in the USA at most CVS and Walgreens, which also carry a wide array of headgear and accessories if your DEP doesn't have what is needed. Just WISH ResMed would bring back the SWIFT II Nasal Pillows, discontinuing their MOST POPULAR Nasal Pillows a BIG MISTAKE ❗
i have been trying to use a 10 for two years on and off when i breathe in i can hear every breath loud i cant tollerate it i took it to a cpap expert she said there was somthing wrong with the machine has anyone else got this problem
I LOVE your mask! I tried to marry them, but I couldn't mate the Resmed cusion to the Dreamwear head gear. You have to tell me: How did you do it? I have the Dreamwear head gear too and the P30I mask. I much prefer the P30 cushion to the Phillips cushion, but the Resmed head gear is too small while the Dreamwear head gear fits perfectly. Please, PLEASE respond. Thank you!
Hey mate! I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea which has been plaguing me for what seems like forever. I’m looking to purchase a CPAP machine and there are currently sales on for both the Airsense 10 and 11 making them only about $200 difference in price. Do you think it’s worth going with the 11?
Where did you acquire your hose holder? I need one; my hose gets a little bent out of shape because of how I have to corral it behind my head and under the pillow, so it will not be dragging on the cold floor.
Compré el AirSense 11 en México y no está habilitado MyAir App y tampoco en la web, a qué se debe que en Latinoamérica no habilitan la Conectividad para usar adecuadamente mi Airsense11?
It's an airpro copilot and it runs the airsense devices for 10-14 hours on a single charge. It powers them via USB-C. They are very cool and available in the States Feb 2024 for SleepHQ pro members
i have an aircurve 10. seeing how mines a bipap and this is cpap they are still the same basic machine. i se no real sense in upgrading for a few fancier features. i hate that these machines are 24 volt. i kept my respironics as a backup for power outages and camping as i can run off any 12 volt battery whether its lawnmower car boat whatever. another thing i found is resmeds auto start is also an auto stop. come to find out i was getting large leaks and the machine was stopping then restarting. since i turned that off i sleep much better. and the funny thing is i had smileys on the machine. seems it only captures large small leaks if that setting is on. oh and the filters are mere afterthoughts in these machines.
Do you know the difference with the ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet Device 4G and ResMed AirSense 11 Elite Device 4G? Just cannot find too much info on the Elite.
The Elite is a fixed pressure cpap (doesn't auto adjust the pressure). The AutoSet has fixed pressure and automatic modes. Always go the Auto as it's not much more and has both modes! Cheers
As soon as my 10 starts getting noisy, I take it to a Resmed dealer and get the machine sent back to Resmed under warranty. The dealer always says 'it sounds pretty normal to me' (but this is to be expected in a daytime ambient noise office space; it's hugely noisier than a dead-silent room at night). Every time, the Resmed service agent comprehensively tests it and essentially replaces the entire guts of the machine, just leaving the shell and water chamber. I've had this done three times under warranty now! I've been reasonably happy with the 10 -- the silicon gaskets between the water chamber and the machine inevitably deform as well causing noise, but they get replaced along with the rest of it...
I got my CPAP RESMED 10 back in the first of the year so far it has improved my sleeping good. My issue is the best way too clean it and what too use so could anyone recommend anything.
Video from Nicko is one way. What I do is just clean the mask every morning. Just treat it as a meal and wash the dishes after your meal. All it needs is a dab or dish detergent (I use the green Palmolive) rub it down with your hand and ensure there is lather on the soft rubber sides. Rinse and use a paper towel to dry it off and set it aside for the night use. As for the other parts, just get a replacement in 6 months. The machine, just wipe down with a towel and remember to change out the filters. At the tube connection piece, I usually put a ziplock bag to ensure prevent any crawlers into the tube, just an insurance plan and not worrying breathing things in. For thr machine concerns of crawlers, I have a filter bulb between the machine and tube. That should stop anything getting through as well.
Forgot to mention that some machines were only 3G compatible ... if you want WiFi ResMed will swap to newer machine...AirSense 11 will cost $450 or same model for no cost
I just got my 10 two months ago so there'll be no upgrade for a long time. I paid $2,200 for the 10 and $1,300 for the airmini since we do a lot of travel. Ouch! I'm still working on getting the benefit with drop in o2 below 90% for a couple of hours still happening, even though I get the useless data like smiley faces. I rely on my smart watch to give me better graphs. I've had 2 nights with only minutes less than 90% and the difference in the morning was incredible. Alas it doesn't happen often enough yet.
@@kal7049 you can, but it doesn't have a humidifier. I actually like it better than the 10 because I get the data on Bluetooth and can control it from my phone. Resmed sends me messages when I'm on holiday to say that they haven't seen me use my machine, ha, ha. You can also take the 10 travelling, by buying a side plate and remove the humidifier or take as is, and source the distilled water. My mini has the drawer bracket and the bed strap so I can secure it in place either way. It's so light and can drop as you move about if you don't use any bracket. I'm getting used to both machines but still have to use my smart watch for better sleep data.
Let me say this, if the Prisma20A was integrated with SleepHQ i would be using it over ResMed. It's a superior device in many ways but i like using ResMed because it's integrated with all my gear (see the end of the vid). Cheers
@@CPAPReviews is that something possible you can work on? I’d love to join sleep HQ. I’m no software dev so likely have no appreciation for how hard that would be to do.
@@bigdazzler82 Nicko said in the video he made on the Lowenstein Prisma 20A that they were working on adding it to SleepHQ in early 2024. You can find that here: ua-cam.com/video/wqnTgmjmhnw/v-deo.html If I were buying a new machine just to use at home, for 300 bucks more than the $2,000 AirSense 11, I would definitely pay the extra and get the Prisma 20A. Big solid, sturdy hardware and motor, better algorithm and bigger tank. Either that or because I use my AirSense 10 as my travel unit as well because it's light enough for me, I would save the $800 and get the 10 instead.
I have been using cpap for almost 25 years. I hate the 11. Hard to pull out the water tank and it is smaller. If you try to fill all the way, it spills out. The carrying case isn't much better than a pillowcase.
i always wondered why resmed stuff in australia is expensive like that and why they waited so much to release it in australia.... knowing that BOTH the resmed11 and Airmini are manufactured in Australia...
Hey mate, ResMed has to look after the U.S medical insurers as that's where they get most of their money from. They charge more here because they can! Aussies always get thrown under the bus when it comes to product pricing. Even digital assets cost more. It sucks!
@@CPAPReviews On that note. Give me an advice. I have both dreamstation one and airsense 10. Can I use dreamwear nasal mask with airsense 10? I don't like the fit of n30i mask.
My bf and I have used cpaps for over a decade but he got caught in that cpap recall (I fortunately did not) and now even though he never smoked (or drank and lived a fastiviously clean life) because of that cancer producing part they found in that cpap he now has Stage 4 Lung Cancer and has been on chemo for the past 4 years and counting with our fingers crossed... TBH I don't dare get another cpap because what if they find later another cancer producing part in that one? It is sad when the things we count on to extend our lives cut them short.
Yes. To access the clinical menu touch and hold both the My Options & My Sleep View icons on the touchscreen. After a few seconds the clinical menu will display. CAUTION: If insurance is paying for it over time leave the pressure as prescribed or have your doctor change it. I had to get my doctor to change my prescription or insurance would no long pay for mine. Each insurance is different but my insurance stated it had to be set at the prescribed pressure during compliance and through the 10 month rental agreement.
A simple smart watch can measure your blood oxygen level for a couple of dollars. So it’s definitely not worth the upgrade for that reason. Most modern smartphones can measure it too with the back camera.
WTF is that quick cut. I assume that when you said "Here it is in all its glory. Check this out" people assumed you were talking about the CPAP. Well at least I have lost all apatite for Mini Doughnuts, which I shouldn't be eating anyway
The machines send data via the cellular modem and they accidentally performed a OTA firmware update which dramatically increased the volume of data hitting the servers = DDOS
@@CPAPReviews...who is getting my data? Place of purchase or the Doctor? Would Resmed be recovering this data too? Maybe video on what we sign off on .
I really don't like the OAU concept without consent of the user, too many bricked PCs let-alone something so vital as a medical device. The question is, when the firmware update went thru did the update block the SD-Card too? Oscar + SD-Card = Therapeutic-Data I know it's a PITA to have to pull the card, but, still doable and a reasonable workaround while the servers were dorked.

I just got the 11 and I started looking on UA-cam for some setup tips. My mind is blown that people are reviewing these and tricking them out.
I love my 11. Touch screen is a nice thing to have. I hate the wheel on my 10. I have had my 11 since February and everything has worked great. Just got a update a few weeks ago been working great. Also I live in a small town and surrounded by fields and I have almost full bars on mine.
If you like it that's all that matters.
I had two 10 models for 10 years and upgraded to the 11 model. I have no issues with it! ❤
Gday mate
I had the opportunity to try out the Resmed 11 while my 10 was being repaired . Actually I did not like the 11 and was so happy when my 10 was returned .
@CPAP Reviews Have you tested the foam etc for VOCs and the other cancer causing chemicals including forever chemicals?
Yes mate ive got a gas chromatography mass spectometry machine in my bedroom. It passed
What is a recommended Bluetooth O2 sat device that won't break the bank?
My A10 was an original that came off the line in spring 2014. When you say that the A10 and A11 have exactly the same algorithm, that's not true because the early A10's and the later A10's have different algorithms. I used a 2018 vauto for awhile and it made a huge difference, but I only realized after I used an A11 that all of the difference was between the first and second AirSense algorithms. The big difference for me is that the early A10 (which I think is actually the S9 algo) measures much higher flow limitations, which drives pressure up. I keep my minimum pressure on the A10 at 7 (EPR 3). Within a few minutes of falling asleep, my pressure is at 9-10 and never drops below 9 as long as I stay asleep. With the A11 I had to set my minimum pressure to 9; when it was 7 I would have an occasional very long OA (45-70 seconds) which would drive my SpO2 down into the low 80's or even 70s, and leave me with a raging headache the next day.
Got over the air updates back…finally.
Glad to hear it! Cheers
@@CPAPReviews I’m in the USA so this may just be where I am. NY, to be specific.
@@CPAPReviews Today’s updates are unavailable once again. Can’t believe it.
Haha, i can!
@@CPAPReviews I just checked and it still isn’t up. Well, they got it right one day in a row.
Great info, thanks
Hey @Uncle Nicko, I recall you saying in another video about the differences between AS10 and 11 is the water chamber (WC) on the AS11 is a better design and the WC on the AS10 had a leak flaw... 🤔❓️
Hi Melody, yeah they've both had a few issues with batches of chambers. The Air10 can leak and the AirSense11 is easy to overfill.
Hey mate, nice vid, thanks. Think I'm going to go the 10 for my first machine, just to save some money.. Wondering, I heard you have to take it into the shop to get them to manually install the updates? How often do you have to do this for the 10? Thanks
Also, seeing that I think the 10 is discontinued now? Will they still do the updates for the next 5 years or so, do you know?
How is it at treating Central Sleep Apnea? Is there a better unit for Central Sleep Apnea therapy?
Nah mate, more likely to cause CSA than treat it. Cheers
Yet to find a setting on my airsence 10 that dosnt cook me, rain me out and dry me out at 2am? Dosnt matter the time of year either. My old silver resmed was the best, 2.5 and 22deg year round was perfect. Got No airleaks I've got a chin strap and hose liner? Even the auto settings aren't that much better...I'm shedding clothes at 2am in winter?
Check out this vid mate - ua-cam.com/video/a_-VBpXOV8s/v-deo.html .
Have to say, I have liked my AirSense 11 better than my 10. The water reservoir is a little harder to use. But if you get a CSpring ,,,,, I like the 11 better- slightly.
Side note, I don’t use “My Air” I use Sleep HQ. So My Air going down didn’t effect me.
Appreciate the feedback mate and agree. Cheers
have a I breeze and its not blowing the same amount of air. The pressure is way down on the ibreeze. So is this resmed air sensie is a free replacement from my cpap provider quit carrying the I breeze it was during covid is why I got the I breeze. So air sensi better than ibreeze or kinda the same
I would like to see a video for the 10 on how awful the air filters are in these! Just look at the filter when you turn it on it gets sucked in and exposes the bottom of the filter bypassing the filter completely..
I use the mask fit feature to get most of the water out of the main tube.
Question: is the fitment end of the main hose compatible with F&P and vice versa (i.e. is it a universal connection)?
A few people have mentioned this. I'll have to try it . No the heated tubes are not interchangeable with different devices. Cheers
My AirSense10 humidifier quit. I have mixed feelings about upgrading to the 11
Curious to know what the latest version update is so I can see if it’s been updated 🤔
You can view them here mate - www.resmed.com/en-us/sleep-apnea/campaigns/ota-updates/
so whats the verdict? remed 10 or 11?
I hate the 11. Hard to fill water and it runs out of water too quickly in dry Minnesota winters.
hey mate, how does the airmax Pro hook up to the AirSense 11?
Thanks for the video. Does the ClimateAir heated tubing from AS10 fit the new model?
Hi there, no unfortunately not. The New AS11 is a straight connection whilst the AS10 has the right angle connection. I prefer the right angle connection. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews Thank you. 🙂 Any opportunity to get into your wallet, Resmed will find it!
Thanks, saved me lots of trouble I won’t be getting the Airsense 11
1. Is there any benefit to the touch screen? If the other half is a light sleeper YES. Big trouble for me if I want to make an adjustment at night lol (I should add if its not obvious, I have a AS10)
I hear ya mate but don't think many people are making thearpy adjustments mid night
@@CPAPReviews lol you make a valid point.
I replaced my 10 with an 11 because it was starting to fail. I’m not sure why, but I sleep much better since I changed.
Question if you need a oxygen concentrator what would be a good an option for backup battery power. Thank you in advance.
Hi there, i'm not familiar with the power requirements and power consumption of an O2 concentrator unfortunately but something like this might work well - cpap.review/bluetti
it seemed that getting an old model didn't make a lot of sense to me. finally got the s11 after keeping a loaner machine for an extended period. so far so good? the accounts function in the app needs a bit of work - i couldn't figure out how to depair my phone and then pair a new blutooth device without deleting my account, then it wouldn't let me sign up for a new account with the same email address....... but it then let me sign into my deleted account? very strange. machine itself seems to work well.
Where do I find that battery bank an the water refill machine at ? Really like both of them an would love to find both of em
In the US, I got the firmware update and I do not have the Bluetooth. Wonder why??I’ve been all through the menus and do see it..
Mine hasn't updated yet either mate. They might still be rolling it out. Cheers
AirSense 10 now available here in the USA at most CVS and Walgreens, which also carry a wide array of headgear and accessories if your DEP doesn't have what is needed. Just WISH ResMed would bring back the SWIFT II Nasal Pillows, discontinuing their MOST POPULAR Nasal Pillows a BIG MISTAKE ❗
I agree! I really miss those awesome pillows.
In Canada (at least in British Columbia) the price for the 10 & 11 are the SAME! WTH? How is that even possible?
LOL.. Delicious MINI DONUTS 🤣🤣😂
i have been trying to use a 10 for two years on and off
when i breathe in i can hear every breath loud
i cant tollerate it
i took it to a cpap expert she said there was somthing wrong with the machine
has anyone else got this problem
Is there a way to get the o2 ring connected directly to the AirSense 11?
Nah mate, they will 100% make it so that only a ResMed purchased device works with it. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews Lame!
Thanks, keep up the good work!
Anytime mate
Hello, I recently received my machine however the backlighting on the display seems low. Any advice on changing this? Or is this normal? Thank you.
The screen is supposed to auto-adjust the brightness, mate but doesn't always work that great. No manual way unfortunately
I LOVE your mask! I tried to marry them, but I couldn't mate the Resmed cusion to the Dreamwear head gear. You have to tell me: How did you do it? I have the Dreamwear head gear too and the P30I mask. I much prefer the P30 cushion to the Phillips cushion, but the Resmed head gear is too small while the Dreamwear head gear fits perfectly. Please, PLEASE respond. Thank you!
I've had two new Airsense 11 autocpap machines fail to powerup after using for a few weeks. Sent back under warranty. Disappointed.
Thanks for the heads up!
Nice cookies! 😉
haha, thanks buddy!
Hey mate! I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea which has been plaguing me for what seems like forever.
I’m looking to purchase a CPAP machine and there are currently sales on for both the Airsense 10 and 11 making them only about $200 difference in price. Do you think it’s worth going with the 11?
Where did you acquire your hose holder? I need one; my hose gets a little bent out of shape because of how I have to corral it behind my head and under the pillow, so it will not be dragging on the cold floor.
where did you get the wall mount Nicko?
Etsy mate, he prints one for the AS10 also - cpap.review/3d-wall-mount
@@CPAPReviews Thank you!!!!
Any guesstimate of when ResMed might release the Bluetooth O2 add-on for the AS-11?
within 4 weeks i'd say. Stupid having a feature on the screen with no way to use it
Can this feature connect to O2 ring ? Or just a feature reserved for Resmed own product in the future.
yeah it will just be reserved for Resmed
@@CPAPReviews oh no…
yep @@alkinwheel
Will the willue wear02 work with sleephq and the airsense 11?
Unfortunately not my friend. Would be very cool if it did. Cheers
Mate can you do one on the AirMini please?
My machine with full reservoir dries my mouth and nose out. Lately in middle of the night its not giving me enough air.
Compré el AirSense 11 en México y no está habilitado MyAir App y tampoco en la web, a qué se debe que en Latinoamérica no habilitan la Conectividad para usar adecuadamente mi Airsense11?
Thanks for the info, BUT WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON AT 4:09???
I've noticed also the flashing, did maybe the video released on April fool?
Can you tell me what battery you are plugging these into there? How many nights of use are you,getting?
It's an airpro copilot and it runs the airsense devices for 10-14 hours on a single charge. It powers them via USB-C. They are very cool and available in the States Feb 2024 for SleepHQ pro members
@@CPAPReviews If I heard right, you said you get 5 nights of operation running the airmax pro battery. Please clarify. thx.
Will the resmed o2 monitor change/adjust therapy or just log?
It will just log but it will be very helpful for therapy setting adjustments. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews thank you sir!
i have an aircurve 10. seeing how mines a bipap and this is cpap they are still the same basic machine. i se no real sense in upgrading for a few fancier features. i hate that these machines are 24 volt. i kept my respironics as a backup for power outages and camping as i can run off any 12 volt battery whether its lawnmower car boat whatever. another thing i found is resmeds auto start is also an auto stop. come to find out i was getting large leaks and the machine was stopping then restarting. since i turned that off i sleep much better. and the funny thing is i had smileys on the machine. seems it only captures large small leaks if that setting is on. oh and the filters are mere afterthoughts in these machines.
Do you know the difference with the ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet Device 4G and ResMed AirSense 11 Elite Device 4G? Just cannot find too much info on the Elite.
The Elite is a fixed pressure cpap (doesn't auto adjust the pressure). The AutoSet has fixed pressure and automatic modes. Always go the Auto as it's not much more and has both modes! Cheers
Any word on when the pulse oxygen sensor will be available for the air sense 11?
yes, here it is - ua-cam.com/video/jCw6gMdyzR4/v-deo.html
I liked my 10 better, The water chamber was easier to fill and I preferred the dial control. I wish it didn't crap out on me by becoming noisy.
Yeah the filter technology is pretty rubbish. Most machines end up getting noisy due to the dust build up in the blower. I'll see what i can do
As soon as my 10 starts getting noisy, I take it to a Resmed dealer and get the machine sent back to Resmed under warranty. The dealer always says 'it sounds pretty normal to me' (but this is to be expected in a daytime ambient noise office space; it's hugely noisier than a dead-silent room at night). Every time, the Resmed service agent comprehensively tests it and essentially replaces the entire guts of the machine, just leaving the shell and water chamber. I've had this done three times under warranty now! I've been reasonably happy with the 10 -- the silicon gaskets between the water chamber and the machine inevitably deform as well causing noise, but they get replaced along with the rest of it...
I wish the length of the hose would be increased from 3 feet to 4 feet.
Same
Not that I ever use the menu, but I so hate touch screens. I did, however, finish the video.
I got my CPAP RESMED 10 back in the first of the year so far it has improved my sleeping good. My issue is the best way too clean it and what too use so could anyone recommend anything.
Glad to hear it mate. Here's a cleaning vid on the AS11 which is similar to the AS10 - ua-cam.com/video/Fw_UnaVyL8E/v-deo.html
Video from Nicko is one way. What I do is just clean the mask every morning. Just treat it as a meal and wash the dishes after your meal. All it needs is a dab or dish detergent (I use the green Palmolive) rub it down with your hand and ensure there is lather on the soft rubber sides. Rinse and use a paper towel to dry it off and set it aside for the night use. As for the other parts, just get a replacement in 6 months. The machine, just wipe down with a towel and remember to change out the filters. At the tube connection piece, I usually put a ziplock bag to ensure prevent any crawlers into the tube, just an insurance plan and not worrying breathing things in. For thr machine concerns of crawlers, I have a filter bulb between the machine and tube. That should stop anything getting through as well.
Forgot to mention that some machines were only 3G compatible ... if you want WiFi ResMed will swap to newer machine...AirSense 11 will cost $450 or same model for no cost
Their recent firmware update left reporting to cell phone app "unavailable."
Yep, that was a big stuff up!
I just got my 10 two months ago so there'll be no upgrade for a long time. I paid $2,200 for the 10 and $1,300 for the airmini since we do a lot of travel. Ouch!
I'm still working on getting the benefit with drop in o2 below 90% for a couple of hours still happening, even though I get the useless data like smiley faces.
I rely on my smart watch to give me better graphs.
I've had 2 nights with only minutes less than 90% and the difference in the morning was incredible. Alas it doesn't happen often enough yet.
Can you use the airmini full time Instead of having to buy both?
@@kal7049 you can, but it doesn't have a humidifier. I actually like it better than the 10 because I get the data on Bluetooth and can control it from my phone. Resmed sends me messages when I'm on holiday to say that they haven't seen me use my machine, ha, ha. You can also take the 10 travelling, by buying a side plate and remove the humidifier or take as is, and source the distilled water.
My mini has the drawer bracket and the bed strap so I can secure it in place either way. It's so light and can drop as you move about if you don't use any bracket.
I'm getting used to both machines but still have to use my smart watch for better sleep data.
Except for the hose leaks
Would you buy the Lowenstein Prima instead?
Let me say this, if the Prisma20A was integrated with SleepHQ i would be using it over ResMed. It's a superior device in many ways but i like using ResMed because it's integrated with all my gear (see the end of the vid). Cheers
@@CPAPReviews is that something possible you can work on? I’d love to join sleep HQ. I’m no software dev so likely have no appreciation for how hard that would be to do.
@@bigdazzler82 Nicko said in the video he made on the Lowenstein Prisma 20A that they were working on adding it to SleepHQ in early 2024. You can find that here: ua-cam.com/video/wqnTgmjmhnw/v-deo.html
If I were buying a new machine just to use at home, for 300 bucks more than the $2,000 AirSense 11, I would definitely pay the extra and get the Prisma 20A. Big solid, sturdy hardware and motor, better algorithm and bigger tank. Either that or because I use my AirSense 10 as my travel unit as well because it's light enough for me, I would save the $800 and get the 10 instead.
@bigdazzler82 a very very realistic timeframe is before 2nd quarter 2024 but potentially much sooner. Cheers
I have been using cpap for almost 25 years. I hate the 11. Hard to pull out the water tank and it is smaller. If you try to fill all the way, it spills out. The carrying case isn't much better than a pillowcase.
Appreciate your feedback!
The pump in the 11 is the travel pump?? That’s a deal breaker. The other advantage to staying with the 10 is you will have a spare power supply.
Yeah that's correct
Interesting, in my country Airsense 10 and 11 cost the same so it was kind of a no-brainer to get 11
i always wondered why resmed stuff in australia is expensive like that
and why they waited so much to release it in australia....
knowing that BOTH the resmed11 and Airmini are manufactured in Australia...
Hey mate, ResMed has to look after the U.S medical insurers as that's where they get most of their money from. They charge more here because they can! Aussies always get thrown under the bus when it comes to product pricing. Even digital assets cost more. It sucks!
Seriously? 11 is made in AU? That's interesting!
I can't stand touch screens, and am happy with my Airsense 10.
Certainly not for everyone bob. All the best mate. Cheers
The crow agrees with your advice.
Pretty sure ResMed has trained that crow
@@CPAPReviews On that note. Give me an advice. I have both dreamstation one and airsense 10. Can I use dreamwear nasal mask with airsense 10? I don't like the fit of n30i mask.
Yes the masks are interchangeable with devices. The dreamstation is junk and has a really bad automatic algorithm.
My bf and I have used cpaps for over a decade but he got caught in that cpap recall (I fortunately did not) and now even though he never smoked (or drank and lived a fastiviously clean life) because of that cancer producing part they found in that cpap he now has Stage 4 Lung Cancer and has been on chemo for the past 4 years and counting with our fingers crossed... TBH I don't dare get another cpap because what if they find later another cancer producing part in that one? It is sad when the things we count on to extend our lives cut them short.
Oh wow I'm sorry see this is my biggest scare with any of these cpap machines
It was the Philips that got recall not resmed
You know you can file a lawsuit against Phillips corporation for all your husbands meds , pain and suffering and medical bills right?
SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU BOTH!!!
Man, that it is hard to read. Prayers and hope he is doing well
Where do you buy 20’s for $1200 😮
You mean 10's?
Can the user adjust the pressure ranges ?
Answer is yes, just have to get into clinical mode
@@kito1sanCool - Thanks !
Yes. To access the clinical menu touch and hold both the My Options & My Sleep View icons on the touchscreen. After a few seconds the clinical menu will display.
CAUTION: If insurance is paying for it over time leave the pressure as prescribed or have your doctor change it. I had to get my doctor to change my prescription or insurance would no long pay for mine. Each insurance is different but my insurance stated it had to be set at the prescribed pressure during compliance and through the 10 month rental agreement.
@@justcause9334Thanks, really appreciate your reply and the heads up on the insurance !
Data on my Airsense 11 back for now😳 until the next glitches..hopefully not
Glad to hear it mate. Cheers
It’s better face it!
Do you want to hear my crow impersonation?
I worked in healthcare using touchscreens, they fatigue and fail in time. I'd rather have the manual wheel.
Dude, that’s not a crow in your backyard. It’s a friggin’ pterodactyl!
A simple smart watch can measure your blood oxygen level for a couple of dollars. So it’s definitely not worth the upgrade for that reason. Most modern smartphones can measure it too with the back camera.
I’m very disappointed with 11 from 10. I feel it is noisier and no new useful features. The size and reduction is welcomed but not significant
sorry to hear that mate. A lot of people feel this way. I guess when you have a monopoly on the market you don't really need to improve. Cheers
WTF is that quick cut. I assume that when you said "Here it is in all its glory. Check this out" people assumed you were talking about the CPAP. Well at least I have lost all apatite for Mini Doughnuts, which I shouldn't be eating anyway
Poor Aussies you could get the Airsense 10 for $399 for Black Friday today. The 11 for $720
The fact that the CPAP can be hacked is terrifying.. why does everything have to be connected to the internet?
how did they accidentally ddos themselves as a cybersecurity student I find that hilarious
The machines send data via the cellular modem and they accidentally performed a OTA firmware update which dramatically increased the volume of data hitting the servers = DDOS
@@CPAPReviews...who is getting my data? Place of purchase or the Doctor? Would Resmed be recovering this data too? Maybe video on what we sign off on .
I really don't like the OAU concept without consent of the user, too many bricked PCs let-alone something so vital as a medical device.
The question is, when the firmware update went thru did the update block the SD-Card too?
Oscar + SD-Card = Therapeutic-Data
I know it's a PITA to have to pull the card, but, still doable and a reasonable workaround while the servers were dorked.
