Transcend 365 Auto CPAP

This is supposed to be a mini-CPAP suited to travel. It's not. There are 2 main issues. First, it's not all that small. While smaller than my main CPAP, by the time you pack it up with the accessories into the carrying case, it is too big to fit in my backpack as hoped so I need to carry it on separately or put it into a carry-on bag. Second, and this is the big issue, it REQUIRES distilled water. After checking with the manufacturer, they confirmed it MUST be distilled water or you risk damaging the actual machine, not just the reservoir as with my other machine. Who do you know that travels with a jug of distilled water? It's one thing if it's a road trip but if you're flying in and staying at a hotel, are you supposed to quick run out and find a store and buy distilled water? I have never seen it in less than gallon containers, which is several weeks' supply. So I buy a gallon, use a cup or 2 then toss it? Then do that again the next trip? That's just ridiculous. So far I have packed a water bottle in my checked luggage, but that's not going to be viable for longer trips, especially when I'm going to several places (ya know, like on a vacation). Oh, and it's pretty loud, too, with the noise coming from where the tube connects to my mask so I can't even address it by putting the machine in a drawer or under the bed. I'm glad insurance covered most of the cost because otherwise it would have been a huge waste of money. As it is, it is only a small waste of money.

Do no purchase machine shuts off if mask leaks. Cpap.com replaced it once. The problem still persists and they will not allow me to return for a refund.

The machine makes a lot of air noise on inspiration. However, the machine is very small. The magnet that attaches the humidifier to the unit is great just snaps on. I would definitely purchase the distilled water filter, absolutely great for traveling and don't have to buy distilled water. Easily made form tap water. You also get different plugs for different countries which is nice. All in all a nice machine other than the loud noise compared to other machines.

Love the size with the humidifier! It makes about half as much noise as my old Transend CPAP. Poor rating is only because the humidifier quit working the first night I used it. Luckily I still have my old equipment that works while the Transend365 gets warranty work done. Power pack weighs less too and is an added bonus.

I was planning on purchase a popular named device for travel.The sales rep gave me two options, as alternatives. I chose this one as it has a built in humidifier. After using it for several nights, adjusting all the settings, I am actually quite pleased with this device. My fear was that it would be noisy as some reviewers have said. I find it to be virtually inaudible. The one inadequacy I have found is no software available for mac users. Hope this helps!

Use caution before buying this CPAP. While I overall like the machine, there are SERIOUS issues with the compliance data processing and Somnetics seems missing in action on the problems. The desktop software that uploads the compliance data to the MyTransync.com software currently does not work. The data link is broken. “IF” you manage to get through to Somnetics Customer Service (a real challenge) they will only say they are aware of the issue and working to fix it. There is no time frame from them for repair and it has been several weeks already. Supposedly, the iOS app link to the MyTransync.com website works, but it requires you to purchase an external Bluetooth adapter to communicate with your phone. This adapter is not currently available with no timeline for availability.

I have used 3 different ResMed machines over the past 15 years, but this time I wanted to try a travel size for a smaller footprint and carry case. Your on/line chat recommended this machine and I LOVE it!!!! My only “complaint “ is that the carry case does not have a compartment for the air hose.

I love this new machine very quiet and small

I bought the 365 because I wanted a lightweight auto cpap to take traveling and camping that had both a battery and water humidifier. I've found it to be a good lightweight machine.

I ordered this machine right before a trip to Iceland this past summer. It comes with all the necessary international power implements, which is great but the machine certainly has other quirks. The availability of distilled water overseas is rather limited. There is a filter attachment that you can get, however this machine requires distilled water per the owners manual. If you using anything other than distilled, even with the OEM filter, you can potentially void the warranty. When you can use the water tank, it can be very annoying. If you fill the water to the max marker, it might actually start spitting water out when you turn the machine on. Also, you need to make sure that the wick is sufficiently saturated prior to use otherwise the heater will cease operation. Another issue I noticed, is that this machine is very noisy. If this is next to you on a hotel night stand, you could have difficulty falling asleep due to the noise. I recommend putting it on the floor next the bed an propping it up on some phone books if they are available. On the plus side, everything comes in a very convenient case that can fit in your carry-on if you prefer not to walk around an airport advertising that you have a CPAP.

this machine is oud and I constantly woke up trying to use it. And, it leaks around the gasket/magnet design. I do not recommend this machine!
