Travel CPAP Machines
I've received my "home" CPAP machine - I bought a Respironics and a ResMed Swift LT for Her mask. I thank you for your suggestions and am happy to have found this website before I ordered a machine. I'm very pleased with my purchase, but the machine is too large to travel with. There are several small "travel sized" machines out there, and I still don't know enough about features to make an informed decision. Please make some suggestions based on your own experiences? I want a small machine that doesn't have a large "bump" on the power cord, will fit easily in a carry-on and is reasonably quiet. Ideas, anyone?

I have the similar equipmt- Remstar C-Flex and Swift Mirage mask. It's a full backpack, I've taken it on several trips. The small 6in cord in the back unplugs removing that bulge, unplug the power supply cord too. Empty the water, dry out, then put a ziplock bag over the plastic reservoir tank and slip it back on, then you know any moisture won't get into the machine.
I stuff everything in there, including a 10-ft extension cord, in the back pocket. Hotels have few outlets. Take a couple small distilled water bottles until you're settled, you can buy some. Don't let it out of your sight anywhere. I had no problem carrying it on planes. (don't check).
cpapplus has some small ones, maybe this helps:

Why do you want to fit it into a carry-on? If you carry it in a separate bag and declare it as medical equipment, it doesn't count against your carry-on allowance.
You will have to pull it out anyway when you go through security. TSA is very familiar with the machines.
The separate carrying case works better for me.

If it's the new Philips Respironcics REMstar System One, you can't get much smaller. Even if it's the older M-Series, that still is amongst the smallest there are. Only the version before that was big, like a shoebox.
If you want the smallest of the smallest, consider the Zzz-PAP or APEX XT series. They fit in the palm of your hand. But they don't work well off 12V DC if that's what you need when travelling.
