ResMed AirMini for travel

I am considering either buying or renting an AirMini for a forthcoming holiday this month where I will be sharing a twin room. I have read that they’re quite noisy and I don’t want to waste my money on either rental or purchase if the noise level could be disturbing for the other person. If anyone here is using this little travel machine I would love to hear your views. My Somnowell MAD which I normally travel with is no longer fitting me comfortably and will cost more than the AirMini to replace so it seemed to be a more cost effective solution to switch to using an AirMini, but not if it’s going to be a lot noisier than my AirSense F10.

"Hi, I use a ResMed F20 and had the same issue with the silicone full face mask causing red marks and soreness on my nose bridge. I switched over to the Airtouch memory foam full face masks which are expensive and not supplied by the NHS, but the…"

"It's very much still relevant and we're getting closer to have them manufactured and has been no easy challenge. In fact we were speaking with the company working with us on this only yesterday. If you're not on our newsletter list…"

Soft Cap

some time ago I was told that Hope2Sleep was researching a replacement for the discontinued Soft Cap.. as I have seen nothing to indicate moving forward on this, would I be right in assuming you decided it is no longer relevant?See More

"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"

Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind

HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More
