New HDM Z1 Auto...anyone have one yet?

To be the contrarian:

I was in Korea last week with my ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet. I slide it into a gallon zip lock bag so the TSA doesn't manhandle it and stuff it into my roll-aboard. What I changed when packing is to omit my shaving kit and put that stuff in the side pockets of my roll-aboard. I have no problem packing for a week if I pack carefully.

I have my real machine with humidifier and ClimateLine heated hose. If I had to lug it 10 miles in a backpack with lithium batteries or do a long motorcycle trip with it where space was extremely limited, I might reconsider. For business travel, I think an A10 is compact enough.

Yeah, OK

And could you tell us......just how well did your AirSense machine work out for you on said trip to Korea?

When I heard myself type "I'm lusting after a travel CPAP" I knew I was just after the sexiness of the Z1, or less so, the Transcend. And I don't travel by plane very often -- once every few years really. My other trips are car trips, and there is plenty of room to take the home unit. I've decided I'll take my ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and have my proper treatment with worry about whether it feels right or different. Maybe when I win a lottery I'll look again at portable units!
