ResMed AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP Machine
It's not always possible to find everything you desire in a travel CPAP machine, but with the ResMed AirMini Auto Travel CPAP, you can! Comparable in size to a smartphone, the AirMini's sleek design not only takes up minimal space in your luggage but also fits discreetly on your nightstand.
Featuring three operational modes (AutoSet, AutoSet for Her and CPAP), a waterless humidification system and comfort features such as EPR and Auto Ramp, the AirMini provides the same comfort as your home CPAP machine.
Its compact design and multiple therapy modes make the ResMed AirMini Auto Travel CPAP machine a great choice for CPAP users on the go. Additionally, the AirMini comes with Bluetooth connectivity for convenient setting adjustments and data access via smartphone or tablet.
The AirMini comes with a 20W AC power supply, travel drawstring pouch, and a starter filter. Frequent travelers may want to invest in a padded zippered travel case (sold separately) to protect the AirMini from damage during travel. If a larger carrying case is needed, the AirMini Premium Carry Bag features multiple padded compartments and a front pouch, accommodating not only your AirMini but also your CPAP mask, hose, power supply, phone, and passport.

- AutoSet
- Pressure: 5-20 cm H2O
- Expiratory Pressure Relief Enabled
- EPR Setting 1 (Level 1 lowers pressure by 1 cm H2O on exhalation.)
- Smart Start Enabled
- AutoRamp Enabled

Many of my clients ask me about the ResMed AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP when they’re looking for a travel CPAP. The AirMini is incredibly popular and for good reason. The ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP is compact, travel-friendly, quiet, and has multiple power options. It weighs only 0.66 lbs and is so small you can even slip it into your purse.
Despite its compact size, the AirMini doesn’t compromise on quality and comes with three therapy modes as well as convenient data tracking via the ResMed AirMini app. Comfort settings such as EPR (expiratory pressure relief) and AutoRamp are also available to make it easier to fall asleep.
ResMed has really created a CPAP machine that makes traveling less stressful. The AirMini’s waterless humidification system (HumidX) saves on space and weight, allowing users to breathe warm, moist air without the need for a bulky humidifier. The HumidX cartridges, compatible with select CPAP mask styles from ResMed, eliminate the need to carry or purchase distilled water while traveling.
The AirMini is also FAA-approved for in-flight use so you can sleep better on those long flights. Just remember to disconnect Bluetooth before takeoff. In terms of noise, the AirMini is not as quiet as a full-sized CPAP because there is less room for soundproofing. However, at a noise level of around 30 dBA, the AirMini is quieter than the sound of you snoring.
The AirMini requires an AC power source to operate but battery and DC power options are available. The AirMini DC Converter allows you to plug the CPAP into a car cigarette lighter so you can power the machine with your car, boat or RV. If you're looking to go off the grid, there are many aftermarket lithium batteries/power packs available to choose from. Some of these batteries can even be charged via solar panels so you don't have to worry about recharging your battery.
Traveling can involve some sleepless nights, but the AirMini's AutoRamp and Automatic Start/Stop features make it easier to drift off to sleep. AutoRamp starts therapy off at a lower pressure and gradually increases pressure after you fall asleep. Meanwhile, the Automatic Start/Stop feature begins therapy as soon as you breathe through the mask and stops therapy after you remove the mask. It's hard enough trying to fall asleep in a different bed, but having to continue starting/stopping your CPAP while trying to adjust your mask or tubing can be plain frustrating.
The ResMed AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP is an excellent solution for a restful night's sleep while traveling. Its lightweight design, innovative features, and quiet operation make it an ideal companion for those constantly on the go. Give it a try and see how it can enhance your travel experience and improve your overall sleep quality.
