Travel Cpap machine
Hello, I'm looking for a travel Cpap machine. I would prefer a Resmed AirMini but would consider others. Please let me know if you have one you are considering selling. Thank you in advance.

Re: Travel Cpap machine
If you get a travel machine, make sure to try it out at home for a few nights before taking it on a trip. The control algorithm will be different from home machines.

Definitely try the machine for a few nights prior to travel.
I have a Breas Z2 Auto. It does make traveling light a lot easier. The therapy is decent, but a bit different than the Airsense units.
I had to use that machine for a few months when my first Airsense 10 Autoset was out for repair before eventually being replaced under warranty.
They are a bit more noisey than your main unit. I was able to get used to that, but some folks don't. One other thing that helps for me is to put a cloth over the machine, and in some hotels, I would put the unit in the drawer of the nightstand to help mask the sound.
My longer term usage was during the summer where my bedroom had a portalbe A/C unit that masked the noise.
The data may not be apples to apples, but with my Resmed units my AHI is usially in the 0.2-0.8 range. With the Z2, it was more like 1.2-2.0. Still respectable.
While there is a bit of a trade off, in my case it does make travel a lot easier which is worth it for me.
