- What's up guys, Nick here from CPAP Reviews,
coming to you from Australia,
yes, the land down under.
Now, for those of you that don't know,
maybe some of my international viewers,
we're currently in the midst of a bushfire crisis down here.
People have lost their lives,
thousands of people have lost their homes,
and billions of animals have died.
Trying to raise a bit of money.
So I'm gonna put a link
in the description of the video
where you can donate if you wanna donate.
It's going to all those people
that are in a great deal of pain at the moment
to help them rebuild their lives.
Currently raised $12,000 which is just incredible.
So thank you for your support.
Now, although that's going on,
we do have some exciting news
on the CPAP front that the Z2
is soon to be released into Australia.
Thank God.
So, out with the old (shattering),
(laughs) see you Z1, in comes the Z2.
Two here, so let's unbox it, have a look
and I'll go through some of the features
and tell you why this is an absolute cracker of a machine,
and one that if you're into traveling,
camping, hiking, caravaning,
all that sort of stuff,
or if you just want a really super portable machine
for everyday use,
then this is gonna be the one you're gonna wanna get.
All right, let's have a look, unboxing.
(trumpeting)
All right, so,
you can tell by the small size of the box
it's gonna be a small machine, which it is.
So, obviously you get your standard manual stuff,
quick start guide, product manual,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Then you have a four foot tubing.
So this is a little 15 mil four foot tube.
I'd almost recommend getting a six foot tube standard size,
the four foot's fine
if you're sort of in an airplane or something like that,
but I think just normally
if you're sort of sleeping there,
and you got your machine,
you kind of want that six foot tubing
and that allows you to move around a bit more in bed.
So you can just pick them up,
they're about 20 bucks online,
but comes with a four foot tube,
it now is included the,
what they call the Q-Tube, okay.
So this is a noise muffler essentially.
It's a little device and has a muffler on it,
and it just helps reduce the noise.
You used to have to buy this with the Z1,
it was about 50 bucks,
now they're throwing it in for free.
You're HME filters,
so this is the heat moisture exchange filter,
it helps deliver humidification.
So you just put this just below your mask,
spare filter, pretty standard sort of stuff.
This is a little tube adapter,
your power supply,
little USB cable to plug into your computer
if you're wanting to download the data viewer,
but you've also got an app
which I'll talk about in a bit as well.
And then the new Z2.
Now although the Z2 looks very similar to the Z1,
it's on the inside of the case
where we find the improvements.
The Z2 has a new quieter motor
and that coupled with the Q-Tube
makes it 29% quieter than the original Z1.
And this is a huge reduction in the noise level,
making it now one of the quietest travel CPAP machines
on the market, which is amazing.
Also has a new algorithm,
sampling your breathing many times per second
so it can deliver a perfectly tailored
auto-CPAP therapy for you.
It's gonna perfectly adjust that therapy
minute by minute throughout the night
to make sure you're always getting that optimal pressure
to treat your sleep apnea.
The machine also now has a new auto-on auto-off feature.
This means that when you put your mask on
and start breathing,
it will automatically turn on
and when you take your mask off,
the machine will automatically turn off.
This can be handy if you're in situations
like where you're using the machine on an airplane
and you might have it, say under your seat,
instead of fiddling around trying to turn it on
or to turn it off,
you can simply just put your mask on
when you're ready to go to bed.
Start breathing and it will switch on
and the same thing when you're ready to put it off,
you just take your mask off,
you don't have to fiddle around,
the machine will stop.
So that's a handy feature as well.
Other features, like I said before,
is they now included the Q-Tube with the device,
okay, the CPAP muffler, very handy,
it reduces noise at the mask end,
so that's a very handy piece of equipment
to have that included now instead of having to buy.
But let's go through some of the features
of the new Z2.
So the Z2 has the Z-Breathe technology.
This is the pressure reduction technology
when you're breathing out,
the machine reduces the pressure
to make it easier to breathe
against the positive airway pressure.
It's a comfort feature but it's really handy
and it goes between one, two and three,
so you can choose a level that suits you.
The higher you go,
the more pressure relief you get,
making it easy to breathe with the therapy itself.
It's super small and lightweight.
So it's under 300 grams at 299 grams
making it the lightest CPAP machine on the market.
It is literally featherlight,
and this is very handy if you're traveling obviously,
you don't have to take a big heavy unit with you,
you can quickly put this in your backpack
and away you go.
And if you're going through airports
and things like that,
it's gonna make your travels a lot lighter,
a lot easier and so forth.
Obviously very small as well,
meaning that it doesn't take up much space.
There's no special masks required with this machine,
you can use your favorite mask.
Some of the other machines on the market now
have very specific masks that you need to use,
they have proprietary connections,
and you have to use their mask with this machine.
With this machine, the Z2,
you can connect any mask to it,
it's gonna fit all masks.
It has the Nitelog app which is brilliant,
it enables you to automatically sync your data via Bluetooth
to your mobile device, Android or iOS,
and also you can program your machine
from the app as well.
So that app's called Nitelog.
The machine is also FAA compliant
which means that you can take it on airplanes
and use it on airplanes.
It also will self automatically adjust
between 100 to 240 volts
when you go to different countries.
So you can use this machine in any other country,
all you gotta do is have the little connection
for whatever plug is in the wall socket there.
It's the only 12 volt travel CPAP machine.
Now, obviously you can plug it
straight into your wall socket,
but, it's a 12 volt machine,
which means you can pick yourself up
a little 12 volt cigarette cable,
and you can plug it in anywhere
that has a 12 volt connection.
So your caravan,
you might have a 12 volt battery,
you can plug it into your car,
if you're trucky,
you can put it into your 12 volt plug in your truck,
it's just so handy having a 12 volt machine.
What's also amazing is you can get it
with a number of batteries options,
which makes it truly portable and really amazing.
I've got a couple here which I'll quickly show you.
Firstly, this is the Z2 PowerShell,
the Extended Life PowerShell,
it's a battery option, okay.
So a little power block there, goes in like so,
and then you can grab your machine, push her in,
and now that machine is,
you can take that any way you wanna go.
The battery is gonna last a full night,
it can get close to two nights
if you've got a low pressure,
but definitely a full night's use with that,
you can charge this up via 12 volt as well.
So if you're driving around,
you can plug in the 12 volt charger,
charge it up when you're going
and then when you're ready use it,
if you're camping, if you're on a plane,
you can use that.
Super, super cool, just absolutely love that.
And then also, on top of that,
we have the Medistrom Pilot Lite battery, okay.
So this is the same capacity
as that PowerShell battery.
It's just an aftermarket battery,
but little lithium ion battery pack.
It's got a USB port as well
for charging your phones and stuff,
but just a little bit cheaper this option
because it's aftermarket,
but still just a great 12 volt lithium ion battery pack
that will run this machine for close to two nights
on a single charge.
So, there's some of the features,
the machines due to arrive in Australia February I believe.
I'm gonna put a link in the description
where you can pre-order it if you want to.
Now the Z2 offers real value for money in Australia.
It's priced well below the competition,
but it's the lightest, one of the quietest
and has some of the best features
out of the travel CPAP machines.
So, if you're looking for a travel CPAP machines,
