Thanks for the review.
Just finished a 2 week trip with the Micro. Normally travel with my Resmed S10, but got tired of lugging an extra bag on the plane. This along with the accessories fit nicely in a bag I got from Amazon and slips into my backpack.
Yes, it's not nearly as quiet as the Resmed; however I got used to it; and actually appreciated the white noise. The motor has a slightly perceptible high pitched whine that is carried through the hose; especially as it speeds up & down with exhalation relief. The airflow sound is definitely there, I think its because of the small hole hose attachment at the machine, comes down to physics and fluid flow. Small area, higher flow, more noise. I use both Resmed P30i & Dreamwear masks which have the air supply coming down right past both ears, this likely contributes to my slightly noisier experience.
An important feature for me is the exhalation relief. It works well, my experience was that it kicks in after about 3 - 4 breaths and works as well as the Resmed.
Make sure you check the filter more often than you would on a home machine. I was shocked to see how dirty mine was at the end of my 2 week trip. Easy to clean and reinstall.
Hope my experience helps.
Great input. Thank you!
I travel frequently and have the transcend micro for travel. At home I used resmed AirSense 11. I love the transcend micro for travel. Perfect size. I use the humidity filters and have no problem with this Cpap. Love it, recommend it
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I just got the transcend micro, but I have noticed the air of my resmed AirSense 11 machine is comes out so much more powerful and strong compare to the transcend micro machine and I couldn't find a was to make it stronger.
Great video! One con that I have is that the machine is so small and lightweight that it knocks over and rolls around a bit anytime the tube is moved. I'm a side sleeper and sometimes I can hear the machine moving when I roll over. Not a deal breaker, I can prop it up with something, but it's a thing to consider.
Thanks for sharing!
I love your presentation. Thanks for the great job you do in educating CPAP users. 👍🏽
Much appreciated!
The new Transcend Micro PowerAway Battery looks like a nice addition to providing power off the grid.
For Sure!
I'll echo the other comments and thank you for showing the gear in such a practical way. I use a Dreamstation 2, which I love, but I want to do some bicycle touring (bike packing) which means "off grid" on occasion and this setup fits my needs very well. Thanks again.
Nice! Enjoying the biking, and thanks for watching!
Awesome review, thank you showing us the machine running!! You are the only person to show this and i have viewed loads of videos on this devise.
Glad that you liked it.
This review of the Transcend Micro was very helpful and informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Starting my new TM tonight for the first time. First of two test nights before a trip. First thing I can tell as I turned it on is that the pressure does not seem to be as high as my prescription. At least it does not fell like it. My Z1 travel and my nightly home F&P both feel stronger.
There is no way for me (as patient) to change the pressure to my comfort. Even if I had access, I believe the access software is Windows only. Seriously? In this day and age, the company cannot provide Mac or IOS access by Bluetooth?
The unit is very light. So light that it will not stay on top of the nightstand. I put Velcro on the bottom so it would stick to the heavy battery base.
Oh well, off to sleep for night #1.
Tough start. Let us know how it goes after use.
The proprietary tube is an instant dealbreaker. Not just because they probably jack consumers on the price, but for the reason you stated - can’t just grab one on the fly. If I need to bring a spare tube with me, it defeats the entire purpose of the small unit.
I understand. Thanks for watching.
Looks interesting but any tips on keeping it from falling off a nightstand ?
Keep it as close to you on the nightstand as you can.
This was helpful
Glad we could help.
I can't figure out how to attach my f&P vitera to the transcend micro. Is there a video on that?
It should plug right on, but I will bet your adapter is still in your primary CPAP tube. Link below may help.

Thank you for your detailed and informative video. Any idea why I connect it by my smart phone via bluetooth the blue light turns green, but will turn back to blue in 1~2 seconds? I already download the app and login but can keep the bluetooth function light at green.
I will have to look into that for you.
Wondering how much does this cost with all the accessories 🤔😊. Do you have an idea?
ON sale at the time of this reply, but the link below will take you to current pricing.

When traveling from the US to other countries with different voltage, for any CPAP will the converter handle the different voltage as long as you have the correct plug adapter? Thanks
Yes it will
@@CPAPmyway thank you, I know I used it with no problem in Greece and Italy but going to Israel I understand they supply 220 bolts instead of 110
Most adapters today can handle the various voltages and just need a plug adapter.
How does it compare with the ResMed AirMini?
It is pretty comparable. I have a link to a blog that will help you compare all the latest models side by side. Link below.

Is there any Con to connecting the HME at the outlet of the muffler?
I don't think that there would be a con, but I am not sure that it will offer any pros either that far away from exhalation.
Not a con but you don’t get as much benefit as connecting it to the mask as it meant to be connected.
Sadly this isn't compatible with the Philips Respironics DreamWear mask (despite what the CPAP shop says). Definitely doesn't fit in the tube!
It should fit just fine. I would bet that your DreamWear Quick connect is stuck in the end of your Home CPAP tubing. Very common with the DreamWear Mask. This video link may help you.

Thx for the review. But..."First thing first": hooking up the power supply is the last thing you do. Always. With every machine. Big or small.
Thanks for the input. Can you expand on why that is the last thing you would do?
@@CPAPmyway just safety. electricity must be the last thing you connect and the first thing you disconnect. I know, it's a small machine but it's just a habit we learn at school & at home.
Have to wave the BS flag on that one. There are only two connections to be made power via a DC adapter and an air hose. There is no risk either way. No one turns off their air sense 11 to remove the heated hose!
@@peterwillison5284 'heated hose'? Euh...That worries me...
