These CPAP machines operate automatically between 110v and 240v AC. When traveling either inside or outside the USA, there are no switches to switch or fuses to change. The machine will automatically sense what voltage is needed and set itself to run on that power.
The user will need to adapt the plug that goes into the wall to fit the style of outlet socket that is being used. This is simply done with a Power Adapter Plug kit. This is the same type of plug adapter that would be used with a hair dryer or an electric shaver. World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs.
Respironics Battery Kit with 400 Watt DC to AC Power Inverter.
This battery kit comes with an external 400 Watt DC to AC power inverter for CPAP and BiPAP machines. The kit provides AC power for machines that do not come with a DC input. Use your machine's AC cord to connect to the power inverter. The Respironics portable battery pack is an external lead acid battery that is the ultimate in power, portability and convenience.

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:
- ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
- ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow
When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
- Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
- Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
- If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
- If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.
The chinstrap is made of flimsy material. It is difficult to adjust and stretches too much to do the job. For $25 dollars it should do better than that. Who designs these things? Of course there is a no return policy if you open the package???? I need instructions on how to try the chinstrap without opening the package.........
all good
Works great. Never had a problem
Luv it
I have received excellent results with the SleepStyle 234 CPAP.
I've used this cpap for many years. Works well.
Dependable and basic I have an old one that still works that I use continuously for 9 years and this one seems to be just as reliable just wanted to get a new one
The 234 is a discontinued model of CPAP, which is a shame because it is excellent and simple. It is relatively quiet and lasts for many years with minimal maintenance.
I have two SleepStyle CPAPs. I've had the previous version SS233 for 10+ years, and it still works as new, except now I use it as a backup, and for traveling. The sleepstyle 234 with its heated humidifier, is perfect during the dry cold season. It's quiet, and it will always work. I was given the option to switch to an APAP (auto-pressure adjusting), but I chose to stick with this cpap machine because I know it will always give the same exact pressure, and it will always work. This model used to sell at around $600, and it's a bargain at less than $400.
The SleepStyle 234 is what you need in a CPAP machine. It's compact, easy to operate, and dependable. It's not as silent as some of the more expensive machines I've used- but its other amenities make up for that. If you're looking for a travel machine, this isn't a bad option (the travel case it comes with is very nice). I've used a battery pack with the machine as well, and it still worked like a charm (just turn the humidity down to 0). The SleepStyle is my primary CPAP and the one it replaced is my backup. Buy this with confidence, and buy it from CPAP.com!
The machine runs quietly and steady.
This is a product for people who need a reliable unit. No bells or whistles just a good solid machine for people who are used to using a CPAP.
