Personalized Comfort Settings
The color touchscreen is designed to be simple to navigate. From humidity levels to Ramp Plus Feature settings and sleep therapy date, easy peasy!
Comfort settings include Ramp Plus, humidification and heated tube temperature.
Ramp Plus Feature
The new ramp plus feature allows you to set a comfortable starting pressure while you fall asleep. It is great for those who are uncomfortable falling asleep to higher pressures. Once desired pressure is set, it will be saved and automatically activated for current and future therapy sessions. Pressure will increase automatically if an event is detected during the ramp period that requires higher pressure.
Built-in Humidification and Adjustable Temperature Heated Tubing
Humidification and water chamber often times make the CPAP unit much bulkier and inconvenient to travel with. The DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP features a built-in humidifier component making it 29% smaller and 2.5% lighter than DreamStation.
Simply tap on the water drop button on the device to navigate your most comfortable setting. Tap it until you reach the most comfortable moisture level. "Off" signifies no humidification, while "5" represents the maximum. The setting will be saved for future therapy sessions without needing to tap the symbols again.
Smart auto and advanced algorithms
Proprietary algorithms automatically adjust pressure to provide personalized therapy.
Micro Flexible Heated Tubing (12mm) or and Plastic Tubing (15mm)
The optional ultra light micro flexible heated tubing is only 12mm. Never slimmer before! If you live in warmer areas, choose the plastic tubing (15mm) will be sufficient. This machine is compatible to all other CPAP tubes.

I had to replace my original Dreamstation and wanted to stick with Philips as I liked the tech and assumed the version 2 would be an improvement. I was right. Setup was smooth, except for paring the Bluetooth which took a few tries but that's normal for all things Bluetooth.
I know I'm going to be happy with this update, it's quieter and the display on the machine is a big improvement over the older model. Changing settings is a breeze and the unit will be a lot easier to clean with the design changes.
The materials included the cpap, mask, auxiliary battery, dc charger and a solar panel charger and all connections in good condition. The set up was made easy with the instruction that came with the machine.
I have used the Dream Station 2 and it’s DreamMapper Bluetooth technology and they are amazing. I get a readout on my iPhone every morning showing the detection of apnea and hypopnea incidents during the night and my oxygen levels. The modem on the machine can be accessed by my sleep doctor to see how I am doing. This is a very useful application.
I am very pleased with the system and I am looking forward to using it on camping trips soon.
I do think the water container capacity for the humidifier is too small. It only holds enough for one or two nights. Also it is somewhat difficult to detach and fill.
Overall I am very pleased with its operation, helpful information and ease of programming for ramping pressure and maximum pressure.
I am glad I purchased the machine from Respshop and they have been helpful in follow up information.

My main issue with the Dreamstation 2 is it was hard for me to figure out how to set up everything like the water chamber for example . It was not very intuitive, so I spent some time practicing. I think I'll need some time to get used to it since it's very different from the old Dreamstation. Also if you don't normally clean your machine daily, i would definitely make sure to do that for this machine. From my time using the Dreamstation 2, I thought there were a lot of places where bacteria cold stick. In this sense I think the original Dreamstation might've been better. But overall I am very happy with the new Dreamstation and i would recommend it to anyone especially if you're looking for a good travel machine.
After having the dreamstation 1 for 12 years, ( yes it was the white one that was recalled) this black pill looking unit is 10 times better in my book. But to each their own opinions, I personally don't have any issues with it, just with my provider for supplies. They know my insurance company and they raise their prices by 3x the cost. So I find this site far cheaper than my provider and might order supplies when the time comes depending upon more research on this site.
My machine does not pair with my phone. Tried several attempts to connect it. Does not work. I’m using it in the Philippines
