- Hi, everyone.
My name's Nick and a big warm welcome to my channel,
CPAP Reviews.
Well, it's my channel for the time being anyway.
Now, just before we take a look
at the new ResMed AirSense 11,
I do wanna give a quick shout out
to a few very special people.
All of you guys.
The CPAP family.
Thank you so much for all your beautiful support
over the last week.
It was really heartwarming to know that
no matter what happens in the future,
I've got a lot of great people behind my back, so thank you.
Now, for those of you new to the channel,
I'll quickly give you the backstory.
About a month ago, I dropped a video,
giving you all the heads up
that ResMed was soon to release an AirSense 11 device.
And this is important information.
It's not like phones when they release them every year,
these machines come out sort of every six or seven years.
So when you're gonna be buying a machine
in the year where there is a bit of a changeover,
it's important to know you don't wanna be buying
right at the end of that product cycle.
You wanna be buying right at the start of the new one.
And it turns out I was actually right.
So about a week after that video,
I started getting emails from people
who were actually using AirSense 11 machines,
sending me photos, manual pictures, all sorts of stuff.
I did a few more videos on the AirSense 11,
and that's when I started getting the legal notices,
the copyright infringements, the YouTube strikes.
It's information they didn't want you to know about.
So just before we start,
I do need to give you a quick disclaimer.
And that is that all the artwork in this video
that I'm gonna show today, it's my own artwork.
None of it's ResMed's.
And even if it was ResMed's artwork,
this is a critical review video
of their AirSense 11 machine,
which means it's exempt from their copyright.
All right,
well let's have a look at some of the new features
of the AirSense 11.
As you can see, it looks quite similar to the AirSense 10.
This is probably on purpose.
The AirSense 10 was a really popular machine
and people do like what's for me to them.
A lot of people don't actually like change.
It does have a new screen
and the screen is now a color touch screen,
and they have also removed the click wheel.
So now you just have the one button
on the top of the device.
The humidification chamber is very similar
and still slots in from the side.
It's still the same volume as the AirSense 10
and a similar design with the flip top lid.
They have, I believe changed the bottom heater plate
due to some problems they were having
with the AirSense 10 design.
It's now a circle design.
The filter is almost identical.
The power supply has changed is now the same as the AirMini
in terms of the connector.
The tubing is similar to the essence 10,
although they've redesigned it a little bit.
They've removed that 90 degree kink that they had at the end
that used to connect to the AirSense 10.
And it's now straight in line with AirSense 11.
It's gonna make it a bit easier to clean
with your hose brushes.
There's gonna be three versions of the AirSense 11.
You've got your AutoSet, your APAP machine,
your Elite CPAP that's your fixed pressure CPAP device
and they're also gonna have a budget CPAP device.
There's no more, for her version and for him,
welcome to the 21st century ResMed.
However, they are going to have the for her algorithm
available in the menu.
So you'll be able to choose between two different algorithms
in the menu section.
There's a new test drive feature
that is aimed at helping beginners.
They also have a new app called RMDpulse,
which you can check out on the App Store and the Play Store.
The AirSense 11 is also going to have the same GSM comms
that the AirSense 10 had that's your cellular modem stuff.
And it's also gonna be Bluetooth enabled this time around.
And that's pretty much it guys.
ResMed playing it pretty safe there with the AirSense 11,
not wanting to stray too far
from their very popular AirSense 10 design,
kind of like a minor evolution, I guess,
from the AirSense 10 to the AirSense 11.
Certainly nothing really revolutionary about it though.
All right, so here's what I'm thinking.
If you've already got yourself an AirSense 10 machine,
and you're doing fine,
then I'd stick with it for the time being,
unless you can get a free AirSense 11
through your insurance provider.
If you're brand new to the market and shopping around
for your very first CPAP machine,
then you've got a couple of options.
You could definitely have a look at the AirSense 11 machine,
although you will pay a hefty premium,
especially when it first drops.
And you can also have a look at the AirSense 10 machine.
The closer we get to that AirSense 11,
the more discounting there's gonna be
on the AirSense 10 machine.
So if you don't have a lot of money,
you could look at snapping up an absolute bargain
on what is a fantastic unit, the AirSense 10.
And that's it for today guys.
