Best small, quiet, cflex type traveling cpap machine?

[mrammell]

I have the REMstar M for travel. I need a machine that has the cflex (exhale pressure relief) but is small, quiet, and no annoying blue lights. Yes, I know you can put tape over the lights, etc. I put a wash cloth over the machine but it still bugs me. My "M" is fine in everyway other than it makes "whiny-humming" noises and the lights. So, is there a machine that is even smaller, that has the exhale relief feature and no annoying blue lights? I love my big old REMstar PRO 2-Cflex but find it too big to travel comfortably with. I also have a Polaris portable with less than 300 hours that is small, but doesn't have the c-flex feature, it will be sold one of these days. Your ideas are appreciated.

OK, more specifically, do any of you have any experience with the new PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine? Is it quiet? Any bright lights? Thanks.

Since it's basically an auto version of the PR System One, I'll take a stab. It's not quite as quiet as a ResMed S9, but very quiet, there are some lights when you turn on the machine, or make adjustments, but they turn off after about 15-30 seconds.

I like my PR System One Pro (non-Auto) very much, but it can be a personal thing. If you like the ResMed line, you might want to stick with that.

I have a PR System One Pro fixed cpap also, and have been very happy with it. Its makes a little more noise than a Resmed or Intellipap (I have all three) but its white noise. This is my main every day machine at home. The system is light and its not any bigger than the other ones, but the travel bag that respironics ships with it isnt very compact and is a poor design.

If you look at the resmed bag or the devilbiss bags, they store a similar footprint as the respironics in a more compact fashion. The only thing that is bigger and has some additional weight is the power brick. I travel a lot for work and travel with the Devilbiss lately. It seems like the Devilbiss was designed with travel in mind and not as an afterthought. I was surprised how I didnt even notice the lack of EPR or CFLEX when i was on the road. I think it was mental as when i tried it at home I seemed to notice the lack of EPR or CFLEX more.

The main reason I have a separate travel machine now is for convenience. I can have everything all packed up so in the morning Im not worried about taking things apart and packing them. Also I can clean everything good the next day after I return from a trip and come home to a clean machine and mask.
