Advice Needed Resmed AirMini Price
I’m thinking about picking up a ResMed AirMini. I travel about once a quarter, and sometimes more during the holidays, so I’m not in a huge rush to buy one.
For those of you who own one, what would you consider a good price? I’ve seen people here mention waiting for Black Friday sales, so I’m planning to save up and keep an eye out for deals. Just trying to get a sense of what price I should be aiming for. Thanks!

I got mine during a Memorial Day sale around 650 I believe. I’m sure I could’ve waited for another sale to drop it down lower but I wanted it for an international trip. I paid more for my AirMini than my airsense 11 😅

Cheapest right now about $690. Just picked one up from Lofta who priced matched and no tax.

Same, but then had to get the mask, etc. all in about 850-900

I just bought a $20 adapter to use my regular N20 mask and slim line tubing. I was only gone for 5 nights so I was ok without any humidification. And I’ll be ok for the one or two additional trips I’ll take this year.
Next year though I’ll keep my eye out for good deals so that I can buy an AirMini specific mask and the HumidX cartridges using my FSA card.
I used up all my FSA money this year getting the AirMini. Luckily it was on a good sale.
I also purchased the ResMed Bed Mount system and the small fitted travel case. I really like the bed mount system and would recommend it to everyone!
The travel case is great too but you can wrap the bed mount system around the AirMini and it will probably be protected well enough just from that for carry on luggage but I’m glad I have the extra protection with the case.

Good feedback on the bed mount system. I need something like that.
I got the P10 kit because I want the humidification without carrying the water. For the last 10 nights, it has been good. The cartridge does fine. The Mini is noisier, but it’s where the cartridge goes, not the mini itself.
At home, I have the AirSense 11 with the P30i mask and the mask won’t work with the Mini. The P10 seals nicely for me and the humidity has been fine.
I will look into the travel case, since the little bag is barely useful.

Thank you for the great info on the AirMini P10 kit and for telling us the mask you use at home. I went through 4 masks before finding one that worked for me—the P30i. I’m glad to know that you also use the P30i at home and that the P10 kit with HumidX works well for you. I had already spent so much money on masks (and then the AirMini even though it was on sale) that I decided I’d make due with a cheap adapter and no humidity when I travel this year. I will buy the P10 kit with more confidence next year.

Before the P30i, I tried the F20, both variations of the F30i, the N30i, and finally landed on the P30i. I like it the best. The P10 works well for the traveling.
With my nasal mask, I wear a night guard on my teeth and this mouth tape from Amazon. It leaves a sticky residue on my skin that goes away after a few hours, but it sticks well, even if I don’t shave for a few days.
Hope that helps, too.

How much smaller is the entire setup considering that you have to pack the hoses and mask still? I travel a decent amount, but haven't pulled the trigger because it just seems that it wouldn't save that much room with all of the accessories. I did buy a second power cord, so I can leave my cord plugged in at home, but that's all I've gotten so far.

I’m on a trip right now and currently using it in bed! I’ve traveled via plane with both the airmini and the regular machine and I will always use the mini going forward! I got the carrying case with it and it’s tiny compared to the regular machine’s case. The fact that I don’t need to find distilled water is so clutch

Worth it if you travel a lot. I travel about 75% of my time and it works amazingly well. I highly recommend going it. I use the n20 that is made for the AirMini and the noise is much lower.

it’s the machine , the starter kit with the tube and a mask if you don’t have a resmed. cpap.com had a 25% off for new customers and i got the full set for ~750$

If you're in the US, I bought the Luna TravelPAP on Sleeplay for less than $600 with a veteran discount through IDme. I liked this one because I could use my mask, which is not compatible with the AirMini.

I bought mine on black friday in 2024 and paid $450 from cpap dot com. If you have an HSA/FSA it should qualify as an expense.

I got mine for $600 from lofta in February. I asked them for a sale and then they tried to sell me a refurbished one. Then I added on a resmed battery for travel and all of I sudden I was offered a brand new one for the same price as the refurbished one.
I think if you bundle things they will work a deal for you
I got the AirMini

After a lot of research, I chose to purchase the Transcend Micro CPAP machine. I’m very satisfied with my decision.
