This is exactly what I need - recommendations for a good travel CPAP machine. Has anyone had experience with the Philips travel Dreamstation with humidifier? If so, what do you think of it? I am currently using a Philips System one 60 series and like it - but it's heavy and bulky.

I have the Dreamstation Go travel CPAP with the humidfier. I also have the Dreamstation CPAP which was my regular CPAP until I went on a long weekend trip and used my Dreamstation Go for the first time and had really good AHI numbers. When I got home I decided to make the travel CPAP my everyday machine and found that I'm getting better numbers with it that the Dreamstation. I like that they both sync up with the MyDreammapper program on my phone and computer so it's easy to keep track of the data. I used the humidifier but took it off this week and haven't missed using it yet.
I bought the larger travel case which comes with a cloth bag for the mask, headgear, tubing and power cord. The larger travel case will hold the CPAP and humidifier or the CPAP and battery but not much else. The small case will hold the CPAP itself and nothing else. All of the other stuff goes in the travel bag that comes with it. It does make it easy for traveling.

@johnbishop Do you know if they make a travel BIPAP? My ResMed is pretty compact and easy to pack and unpack. Where I live, in high desert, humidity is low enough that I need a humidifier, or my airway gets dry. Some of my meds are prone to causing dry mouth, so I use Bioteen mouthwash at bedtime, and I have a spray version of it on my nightstand, next to the Bioteen lozenges.
I'd better stop before this post turns into a novel.

Hi @jimhd I think there are some newer more compact BIPAP machines that are easier to pack and take with you. I found some reviews that point to the ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto w/ Humidifier as one of the smallest/best BIPAP machines. I get a little confused reading the reviews trying to determine if it's a BIPAP machine - the list says it is but reading the description on the manufacturers website seems to reference it as an Auto CPAP. I would have a discussion with the medical store before making a decision. Here's one of the review sites I found that may be helpful.
