Read the reviews on cpap.com.
If price is more important than value, they may be satisfied.
Anybody can read reviews.
It is at least as accurate as buying everything in sight.

So your initial very strong opinion against the Apex XT machine, based on postings years ago, is now turning into "advice" on reading online reviews (who could have thought of that!).

Again, nice contribution...

What's your actual advice for a small and cheap CPAP or APAP machine then?

Several remarks mentioned excessive noise, and a rough algorithm.
The size was tempting, but the trade-offs seem to be excessive.
No idea this was still around after all these years.
So you don't actually have one or tried one, but are just providing comments on this forum from stuff discussed a few years ago...

What a great way to contribute...

My advice is to get a real full function and data XPAP machine, if the extra 2 lbs make it too hard to carry, rent a pack mule. Jim
Use data to optimize your xPAP treatment!

So who has some actual advice to provide regarding a light, cheap and small device to use for traveling then???

So far, all we have is the dream team contradicting me, but not providing advice, or ignoring most of the requirements. I guess CPAP does not make people any smarter then...
