I searched the site and not much on the ResMed Air Mini. Who has it and what do you think?

I have an airmini and I love it!! I have sleep apnea, and been on cpap, since 2002. Until I bought the airmini, a couple of month ago, I had always used Resprionics machines. I got the airmini as a backup and travel machine. I thought I would try it for a couple of weeks, as my regular machine. I am still using it! I do use my Dreamstation every once in a while but I use the airmini almost exclusively! You can purchase a setup that offers 3 ways to mount it.
Some have complained about the noise where the humidification disk goes and venting takes place, but I hardly notice that! I love the humidification! Of course, I have used, only passive humidity for years (distilled water in the tank but no heat). Someone who needs a lot of heated humidification may have a problem. There is a Humidex X , that offers extra humidity the same way. The humidification disks are pricey, since they have to be changed every 30 days - not 30 days of use but 30 days in the hose! Filters only need to be changed every 6 months. I like the bluetooth and the software that I check each day on my tablet (a smart phone can be used). There is not indication about how many events happen, or what kind of events they are but I have my therapy well tuned - for me. If I want detail, I use my Dreamstation and Sleepyhead.
I am amazed at it's size - so small!!
There is an earlier thread about the airmini, as the previous poster mentioned.
