Re: Philips Respironics Recall V2.0 Questions and Answers

I have a Dreamstation Go and was told the same thing by CPAP.com…that replacement machines would come from Philips, not CPAP.com…I then contacted Philips and was told I was next up to get a replacement machine but that was back in the October timeframe. I called back again a few weeks ago and they t...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

Thank you for your replies everyone...I have decided to give the Go a go...after letting my partner hear the noise of the AirMini (which, with earplugs in she said was not that noticeable) I decided that the Go will most likely not be any louder and hopefully less so. That plus the fact the Go has ...

Re: Resmed mini Darth Vader mask!!

I had the AirMini and sent it back to another seller because of the Darth Vader hiss and lack of humidifier (I use an airtouch mask). Went with the Dreamstation Go and so far really like it. I had to get a hose cozy to deal with rainout but other than that it is much quieter in my opinion at the mas...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

I have a Dreamstation GO. I can compare it to the Resmed Airsense 10. It is more noisy than the Resmed Airsense 10. But the excess noise is what I hear when I inhale and exhale using the GO. It is not the nose the machine is making, it is the sound of my own breathing. It is not a whining or annoyi...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

I use the Dreamstation Go with humidifier. My CPAP trial was with a regular Dreamstation and to me the sound level of the Go is similar. On my bedside locker it's quieter than the mask venting sound. I don't use Flex anymore so I get a constant white type noise which is quite soothing. Can't commen...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

I used an Airmini for almost a year before undergoing a tonsillectomy (yes, at 47) After the procedure, it was unbearably dry. So I started looking for a travel unit with a humidifier. So I changed over to the DS Go. The noise is MUCH less than the airmini. Most of the noise seems to come out the i...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

The Dreamstation Go is not as quiet as a regular Dreamstation or Resmed Air*. However, it's more of a white/pink noise sound compared to the slightly wheezy character of even a properly functioning, quiet Resmed Air*. To me, it sounds kind of like wind outside the window on a blustery night. I can'...

Re: Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

No experience with either so not a lot of experienced help. BUT....the DreamStation Go now has a humidifier attachment and historically adding a humidifier to any machine decreases any machine noise because it acts like a muffler. Thanks - I hadn't thought of that. I now recall someone mentioning t...

Newbie seeking opinions on AirMini vs. DreamStation Go

Hello all, I'm new to the CPAP life (about 30 days now) and this board has been really helpful for adjusting to my new sleeping conditions. Now on to the purpose of my message: I recently purchased the AirMini and am using it with the Airtouch F20 (which is my usual mask I use). I have used it over ...
