The noise, how far does it carry? I'm about to go on a 10 month trip with my family. I'm currently debating bringing my Resmed S9 without humidifier, or buying an Airmini or Dreamstation Go. I'd like the smaller size, but do not want to have extra noise that will bother my wife.Mark_Wallace wrote:I just returned from traveling for 2+ weeks through the UK and bought the Resmed Air Mini for the trip and couldn't be happier with the unit. With the power cord, It packs up smaller than a pair of shoes (my shoes at least, size 12), and with the built-in heat-moisture-exchanger, I didn't need a humidifier. If you're traveling to a very dry climate, the HME won't work as well, but there was plenty of humidity in the UK for it to work nicely.
The biggest complaint about the Air Mini is the noise from the HME since it's located so closely to your face. I wear earplugs to sleep however, so this didn't bother me at all. If you're a sensitive sleeper, or are easily affected by noise, then it might not work for you.
