It’s been 2 months since ResMed began shipping their AirMini Travel
CPAP machines to suppliers. ResMed’s entry into the travel CPAP market
has given the travel-CPAP ‘niche’ a major shake-up. I could imagine
Transcend and HDM – the manufacturers of the most popular travel CPAP
machines shaking in their loafers.
The main appeal of the AirMini device is it’s portability – it’s size makes it the smallest CPAP machine on the market.
With that – let’s dive into things and see what people have been saying about these units.
Introduction to the ResMed AirMini AutoSet CPAP Machine
The AirMini has featured within the top-selling CPAP machines overall
on many of the online retailers websites since its release. This is
significant, as the travel CPAP machines typically occupy a small corner
of the demand and are only for those that can afford to purchase a
second, travel-specific CPAP machine. This suggests that many people are
actually choosing the AirMini as their primary device.
Released in early 2017 – the ResMed AirMini is an incredibly compact
CPAP machine with most of the features you have come to expect from
ResMed’s larger bedside units. The machine is pitched to the upper end
of the market – and ResMed have tried to cram in all of the features of
the larger AirSense machines. Consequentially – it is priced about the
same as their top-echelon bedside machines – $US880.
The AirMini has a comparatively tiny profile – the machine itself
measuring 5.4 inches (13.7 cm) by 3.3 inches (8.4 cm) making it one of
the smallest CPAP machines available. It is light too – weighing just
0.66 pounds (300 grams) – less than the weight of a can of soup. So, it
definitely fits into the ultra-portable travel CPAP machine category.
It comes standard with ResMed’s unique HumidX humidification system,
expiratory pressure relief, autostart, bluetooth connectivity, and ramp
features. All things we have come to expect from our CPAP machines.
What do the Reviews Say about the ResMed AirMini CPAP Machine?
As you’d expect from any of ResMed’s products – it has SOME raving
fans, and its getting pretty good reviews overall. The travel CPAP
market can be scathing – and keeping patients happy is all-too-often an
impossible task. Travel CPAP users demand near-identical features and
noise levels from a machine that is a fraction of the size of
traditional CPAP machines. Nobody is saying that the AirMini can do
everything that the AirSense machines can do. However, it is possibly
the best travel CPAP machine currently on the market – and it would want
to be with it’s premium price point.
