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).

Sure.

Hope the helps!

OK I understand now. The "tubing/mask connection" is specific to the mask you have, not the airmini tubing. Mine doesn't have that connector that holds the HME cartridge, hence my confusion about how the hme would "drop in".

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.

This is a great idea with the command strips cable holds. I honestly think a hose hanger a HUGE benefit, especially if you toss and turn like I do. Switching to nasal pillows resolved 85% of my discomfort when I started and a hose holder took care of the rest.

For travel, I use one like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P2F95QR

It fold flat against the inside of my carryon and takes up practically no space. I cover it with a hydration tube cover to prevent damage to the bed/walls as some hotels have weird headboards.

Good Deal. I've been waiting for this travel cpap to go down. Also I used the code to buy another Luna II to keep at home to replace the one I have and discount code worked on that one as well and took the price to $174. Thanks!

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 have the Z2 as well. Yes, both the host setup and the batt are universal. All the cables are included when I bought it. Been using it for 2-3 years now. Even took it out to backpack one time.

My only complaint is the complexity in cable connection and how the hoses chained together (both AC or batt powered). I have to make sure I have everything organized every time I use it and pack it up after or else I'm going to parts missing. It seems like there should be a simpler solution. Also, the part that connects the humidifier to the part plugged into the base unit tends to come loose after a while.

Will there be any good cpap deals usually Black Friday ?
You can also wait and check just before tax deadline in April. All the retailers will want people to use up their FSA money from previous year.

Just bought it with the nasal pillow attachment. Been meaning to pull the trigger on this for a while. I plan on using this on international business travel. The planes are too dry and it's hard to sleep even when in business class. A quick question for the folks who have this, does it come with the hose? I purchased it with the p10 nasal pillow mask. Thank you in advance.

It does not come with the hose. Make sure you order the P10 AirMini Setup Kit (which includes the mask and the hose). The regular P10 mask is not compatible.

Usually when you buy this CPAP with a mask, this is the kit they send:

https://cpapx.com/products/p10-ma...ine-resmed

It has everything you need to get started, the mask with all three pillows sizes, headgear, hose, and two humidx inserts, one of the standard and one of the "plus".

Keep in mind that while flying, different airlines will impose different restrictions. Pretty much none will let you be in an exit row while using it, most won't let you use it in an aisle seat if someone would need to cross to reach the aisle. I've never had a problem with a window seat or with a lie-flat seat. Definitely look into a battery for it (check the carrier for their max, either 100 Wh o 160Wh) as it makes it easier to power and you don't have to worry about the adapter falling out or the in-seat power from turbulence.

You might consider the HumidX plus on the plane for the extra humidification.

I sometimes travel for a few months at a time and have used this daily during those times. No problems whatsoever!

I own two AS 10's, a Mini and a Philips (after recall). From what I can remember, the Airsense 11 and the mini share the same blower motor. The Airsense 10 uses the last gen. bigger motor which is generally more quiet for daily use. Mini is definitely louder which is a shame.

Old prescriptions will work; I can confirm based on my previous order with them.
