Way too noisy. Bought an adapter so I could use same hose and mask from my home machine. Didn’t change the loud air output. Keeps me and my wife awake. Show details

I have found the new machine perfect for my needs and plan to take it with me on our cruise to the USA rather than the bigger Air Sense 10 that I use in the bedroom. So far, all is good. Show details

Australian users, DO NOT BUY RESMED CPAP machines from https://cpapspecials.com/contact/ they should not be authorized to sell machines outside of US as their machines DO NOT work on Australian network. As per CPAP specials they do have the info in fine print on their website which they want us to read before we order the machines which is unfair.… Read more

Also my machine now does not capture data via blue tooth or SD card and I don't have a machine for 6 weeks now. CPAP Specials didn't even bother to respond and get me a warranty replacement machine. Please STOP buying from them.

expensive mistake – The air mini can aggravate sinuses to the point where it cannot be used. This is a problem I have experienced and forums exist where many users express their frustration with this expensive negative experience.

It’s a shocker – Fantastic nightmare. So portable but so noisy. Just can’t sleep.

Perfect traveling companion – Only suitable with nasal pillows. Very small, light and quiet machine. Low power consumption, so mains power pack is tiny and a battery pack lasts a long time. Waterless humidifier means no spillages and use in flight is OK with pre-approval from the airline. Monthly replacement of humidifier cartridge and small filter required at $10-$15 I've had mine for six years and it hasn't skipped a beat.

CPAP Air Mini – Bought an air mini for travel and it is a total waste of money. 1. noisy 2. Doesn’t ramp up like the Airsense machine 3. Support at sleep vantage won’t tell you anything 4. Manual is not worth the paper it is written on. 5. The mask has an humidifier attachment that fits so flimsily that it falls out and touches your nose with the mask on. Do yourself a favour and don’t buy this machine Show details

Amazing piece of engineering – I decided to write this review as I feel this device is getting a bad rap. I have been using the ResMed Airsense 10 for a number of years now and I have grown accustomed to using a CPAP. I had Maxillofacial surgery and no longer need to use a CPAP, however I prefer to use one for quality of sleep and so my wife doesn’t have to put up with my… Read more

snoring. My snoring becomes a problem when we travel where my wife can’t get a goodnight sleep. I had been considering getting a ResMed Mini for travelling but I was a little deterred by these reviews. However I decided using the Mini would have to be better than not using a CPAP at all. I use an F20 full face mask. The guy at the shop told me the half mask causes a lot of noise due to the valve being close to the face. This may have been the reason for some of the bad reviews.

I used it for the first time last weekend when we went to Melbourne for the long weekend. I found the device to be brilliant and worked just as well as my Airsense 10. I found the device to be very quite and I didn’t notice it to be any louder than my Airsense. This is incredible considering how portable and practical it is to take travelling. The pressure was comfortable and I used it for three nights with no problems. Both my wife and I slept great. I highly recommend this product. If anyone is finding it to be too noisy, I suggest trying it with the F20 mask. This has been a great investment and allows both my wife and I to have a quality sleep when away from home.

Want to love it but HATE it! – I need a waterless machine for travel and was given this as a gift. The pressure is so high that after a few hours of sleep I wake up with a stomach full of air and a dry nose that gives me cold like symptoms runny nose and sneezing). I end up traveling with a machine that I use for about 3 hours and then pack away. I have tried setting the… Read more

pressure to "auto" and "for her". I have even tried making the highest pressure 7. Nothing works. I am using the humidX filters both the standard and plus (supposed to give more humidity) and they do not provide any humidity. After trying this on several trips I thought I'd make a call to Resmed customer support before tossing this in the trash. (sorry dad, but thanks for the gift) The support line takes you to a recoreded message to send them an email. I have an Airsense 10 and love it, but this is a loser.

Terrible product and customer service – ResMed AirMini™ Automatic CPAP Machine is very noisy. To the point it keeps you awake at night which goes against what I actually bought the machine for ( to get a good nights sleep ). On top of this, as this is a travel machine, I had no need for it until 6 weeks after the purchase date. When I contacted Resmed they basically said bad luck… Read more

nothing can be done as your outside the 30 day money back period.

So now I am reminded monthly of the fact I signed up for something that I cant use!

Awful. Noisey. Poor customer service – ***please note this review relates to Resmed and not Easy CPAP*** I purchased the air mini to take camping and travelling. Bad decision. The humidx module with the p10 head set sits 10cm below the nasel pillows or just the right length to sit right next to your ear. ITS LOUD as air pushes past all the tiny holes of the humidx to the point it… Read more

keeps you awake

Speaking to ResMed they suggested to wrap a piece of towel around it!?! Seriously.... $1500 and wrap a price of towel around it.

When I contacted ResMed this is the email response I received Dear Damien,

"Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we only offer the 30-day money back guarantee. If it's out of that period, the discretion as to what you should do with your machine lies with you. I suggest you call the place of purchase as they might have other options for you.

Kind regards, Cherryn"

I have a ResMed s10 as my main cpap but I will NEVER again by ResMed after this customer service.

Warning : buy with caution – Yes it’s cute but don’t be fooled. No humidifier means you may wake constantly with a dry gravelly mouth and a phlegm filled throat.This is very unpleasant requiring drinks of water. Sleep is interrupted.The humidifier tablets which are expensive and an ongoing extra cost have little effect. There is a 30 day trial period which I highly recommend you use. I didn’t due to illness, much to my regret.  Show details

Keeps me awake – The unit is compact and great for travel but resmed missed the mark. The unit is very noisy and dose not do a good job in providing enough humidity to prevent dryness. Show details

PORTABLE. APP is nice on phone. But a pain to download 10 times over 2 days final got from another site . NOT APP STORE. MIGHT get a cutter and cut hoses and join with a pipe and clamps minus the noisey humidifier and exhaust.

Awesome machine and perfect travel size – This was intended as a travel machine but it’s become my daily use device. Super quiet (compared to System one) and living in Sydney haven’t needed the humidifier. Highly recommended Show details

I love this tiny machine! – The Airmini machine is so small and light. There is no heavy power transformer. The hose is also very light (although not heated). I chose the N20 mask and headgear, what an amazing improvement on my old headgear. This feels comfortable, does not slip off my head because of my long hair, the mask has magnetic clips which are great (move your… Read more

long hair out of the way first). It is quiet, sleek and modern and I can't wait to see how little room it takes up in my suitcase. Oh! I bought mine on a 36 month plan from ResMed ($55 per month which includes replacement items over the term of the contract). The machine came with a really attractive grey travel bag which you can put over your shoulder or slide onto the pull up handle on your suitcase. I can't understand why people are saying the machine is noisy. The only noise it produces is a small amount of noise from the humidifier cartridge. My old Resmed S9 was way noisier than the Airmini. The Airmini phone app is great too. Each morning I see how close my sleep score was to 100 points!

Air noise with F20 and poor stock control – Not happy with Resmed. I normally use an F&P with F20 full face mask. My wife uses and Air Mini with nasal pillows and hose with in-line humidifier. I wanted to travel with my mask and her unit, so I needed an adapter. Rang Resmed and said I needed the adapter, the guy said I needed the kit. Kit comes with hose, which I explained I did not need or… Read more

want, as I already had a hose. He just could not bring himself to admit that they do not sell the adapter separateIy, that I had to buy the whole lot. Arranged local appointment as my nearest store had 2 in stock. At appointment, the woman had no idea what I was there for and certainly had none in stock, she even checked. First fail was their stock control system. Had little choice but to order part which will be delivered "tomorrow or the next day". Online tracking showed that it was not even sent from Brisbane until the evening of the next day, arriving another 2 mornings later. Second fail, dispatch and delivery predictions. Once part was fitted, and exactly as written by another reviewer, it was unusable due to air noise. The unit itself is whisper quiet. The adapter has a tiny throat with a flap on it. Funnelling blowing air through a small hole has the entirely predictable, indeed inevitable, result that it will make the noise of rushing air. And it does. And that noise is 2 inches from your face and ears. And, it is worse when you breath in. I had to use earplugs which helped, and finally got to sleep, but woke in the early hours, impossible to get back to sleep with it on. Abandoned it. Nul points to the boffins at Resmed. Not sure what the options are now, although with the travel restrictions in place at time of writing, won't be going anywhere anyway.

So noisy - neither my wife nor I can sleep – The product and F20 resmed mask makes so much noise neither my wife or I can sleep when I’m using it. I spoke to Perth CPAP and resmed, and as expected, no one will take responsibility and stand behind this product. My usual machine is a Phillips dreamstation, which I can actually unclip the humidifier from and it is approximately the same size… Read more

as the resmed lemon. I wish I had known this before purchasing- I won’t deal with resmed or Perth cpap again

Great little machine, but where are the reports ? – I purchased the Airmini a month ago from ResSleep as replacement for my old S9 machine. I find the device easy to use and connect to my android smartphone for monitoring purpose via an App. However when I took the device into my specialist for annual checkup I found they had no idea how to extract the routine compliance report even though they… Read more

also sell this device. Whilst ResSleep promised me an online compliance report in tact the specialist was unable to get one. We,were left with looking at the daily summaries available via the,smartphone app. Really this isn't good enough !

Exhalation Air noise annoying on tube mounted humidifier – The whole of concept is ok but when you use the p10 nasal pillow mask setup the cartridge humidifier 5 inches down from your nose mask is annoying...it makes air sound on each exhale and cant get to sleep because of it...and its supposed to improve your sleep. Redesign required. Paid a 1700 dollars for this and makes the purchase so irritating....Used it for 30 minutes and put the old airsense 10 back on and never bothered to try again...

Not as small as it looks – I recently purchase this product from ResSleep for AUD2,100.00. It is certainly small and lightweight and delivers the same high quality sleep as my old ResMed S8 Autoset, which has clocked over 30,000 hours of use. I purchased this new unit for travel purposes primarily for its light weight, but it has a few drawbacks/limitations which I can… Read more

share here with you.

The unit has an EXTERNAL ResMed 20 watt adaptor(made in China) that is plugged directly into the power outlet with what appears to be a special 2 metre connection lead o the unit - This adaptor is about half the size of the Airmini itself and I was unaware of its existence until I made the purchase.

I also need a lightweight extension lead for those venues that don't have a power outlet within reach of the standard 2 metre cable. I've searched many websites for such a thing and so far no luck. For my old S8 I found a 5 metre lead with the correct connections that was lightweight and allowed me to stop carrying the shorter lead that was supplied with the machine. Recognising that all I need to fill this requirement is a 3 metre lightweight extension cord I contacted the ResMed help line and got answers that I thought were generated from either a robot or an offshore call centre as the answer given for my question was irrelevant to Australia. In fact it was a call centre located in the USA. So, for the time being I have no alternative other than to carry a standard 3 metre extension cord, which is far heavier per metre than the one for the S8.

What a shame the USA does have a cord to suit their power system but not so here at home. I hope ResMed might address the overall need in their system for lightweight extension leads.

Overall I'm happy with the Airmini but it needs some work at the edges as discussed above.
