Thinking of getting one and wasn't sure which one is the best out there? I know there are maybe 4 on the market right now and the most well known one is the ResMed AirMini. I use a ResMed AirSense 10 so it would make sense to stick with a ResMed.

PA Sig, I have one, I was thinking of ditching yesterday. I used it about 2 times, but couldn't get it to work well for me as it has no humidifier.

Happy to send it to you gratis if you want to try it.

Sure, thank you!

I could send you a Paypal or Venmo to cover shipping cost for you?

What make/model is it?

I have the AirMini and love it. It is great for travel.


As for the lack of humidifier, there are a couple of mask options that have an inline “moisture wicking” cartridge doo-dad that “collects” moisture from your exhale and acts as a pseudo pass over humidifier to return some of the moisture to the air.

I’ve used mine for as long as two weeks in a row with no issues.






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

I use the resmed AirMini, have probably used it for a year now at least, over 150 nights a year in hotels....I love it, very small, very light works as good as the big unit. Only down side is no water tank, but I use the inline moisture capture discs and they seem to work ok, I don't have any problems with dry mouth.
Also, you have be very careful when purchasing supplies, make sure you have the correct mask when ordering, they are all proprietary and one moisture does not fit all masks, the connectors for the mini hose is much different that the full size. You have to buy everything mini. Other than that, I love it. I even bough the travel battey to run it when I book dock, works great.

I just used my normal ResMed in New Zealand, with this $12 plug adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DL9VDT1Z?psc=1). You could also buy the correct AC-ended power cord and not need an adapter.

I used the bag it came in for travel, and the airlines were fine with it as my personal item (in addition to my wheeled carryon bag).

FYI these Bestek adapters (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RBFK52U?psc=1) did NOT work with the ResMed, but did work with my laptop adapter.

More: I did not need the humidifier, as it was way more humid than I’m used to. Although I started off using water in the tank, I stopped adding water and slept better. It was -too- humid with the added water.

My apologies, the weekend got away from me.
I replied today and will get it shipped today.
Have a great day!
