If you travel a lot with a CPAP, this is truly a game changer and this is an excellent price.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. It's substantially louder than your Airsense 10 or 11. The noise is both at the device and the exhalation port where the heat and moisture exchanger (HME) is. You can mitigate this somewhat by placing the machine away from you and lower than the top of the bed to block some of the sounds. Resmed sells a mounting kit that has several option to hang it from a bed or a nightstand. You can also use a different hose and mask that is more quiet, but see item 2 for more on this. There are also some muffler kits out there. I do not recommend these as they have a similar black foam to the kind that degraded in the Philips machines and caused that massive recall from foam dust getting in people's lungs. I also use a white noise app which helps while traveling anyway to cover up the unfamiliar sounds.

2. It uses a nonstandard hose and CPAP connector will not connect to a standard hose. Likewise, the mask end is different as well. You can buy adaptors to allow you to use standard tubing and thus a standard mask, but you lose the ability to use the Resmed heat and moisture exchanger (HME). I find the HME useful and so I just deal with the special hose/mask combo and extra noise. There are some generic HMEs that will fit between a standard mask and hose.

3. The heat and moisture exchangers (HME) are kind of expensive for their relatively long, but limited life (30 days). I've been using some generic cartridges and they've been fine.

4. All configuration is done through an app.

Overall, it's totally worth it as long as you understand the limitations. It's great to travel with something that's smaller than a shaving bag (including the tubing and mask) rather than something the size of a laptop bag. And no searching for distilled water is a huge bonus.

It also runs great on battery, whether you use the Freedom series CPAP batteries or just an another power station. The Freedom batteries are expensive, but they will run one of these resmed airminis for about 2-4 nights depending on your pressure and which battery. They are also FAA-approved since they are in 99 and 160 Wh sizes. (160 may be a problem internationally).

Seems like an excellent price, but the Breas Z2 travel CPAP is much better from a standards standpoint. No proprietary hose connection and has standard DC plug to connect to any 12v battery. No need for the resmed overly expensive custom battery.

I thought cpaps needed to be prescribed.
They do. They won't ship it out until the get the prescription.

Those HME cartridges just drop into the Resmed AirMini tubing.
...
The HME cartridge looks like it's much wider (>1in) than the airmini tubing (~0.5in) to me. Some mask options seem to have a little holder for the HME. Can you be more specific about where the HME cartridge "drops in"? Maybe a photo? Thanks.

perhaps your CPAP cannot serve you properly because you are not its true master?

The AirMini tubing/mask connection is a
receptacle for the HME cartridge.

I have both an AirSense 10 and also this AirMini and have used both over the last 8 years
I cannot stand the AirMini
I've tried different hoses, mufflers and hangers
The noise level is just too much
I can deal with it, but my wife hates it
So I still take my bulkier AirSense 10 on trips and use that instead.
The AirMini is much smaller but since airlines treat these medical devices as a free carry on, it really doesn't matter how small it is. I don't want to deal with its limitations when I'm travelling. I might sleep well but my wife won't
If anyone is buying this particularly for travel, look for something else or bring along your existing unit

I have this and it is "different" than the Airsense 10 enough that I'm still dialing it in for pressure.

The exhaust at the facemask is annoying but if you don't mind white noise, like me, it is bearable.

This is my cruise ship, vacation and work travel cpap so I don't destroy my at home setup.

I had an issue with TSA wanting to almost disassemble my Airsense 10 like they'd never seen one before. The climate tube was apparently the cause for concern. After that, I paid full price for the mini and never looked back.

It is loads easier to pack and with the mounting kit it is easier to manage.

I have a recommendation for getting command strip cable holds. They do wonders for keeping the hose off your face.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797LMJF5

I travel with these and put them on hotel walls right above my head so the hose dangles downward to my face.

A little work and you'll get it dialed in and it makes it easier for me to sleep if the hose isn't wrapped all around.

When it is time to leave, I gently remove the command strip without leaving any marks.
