G'day Craig, thanks for your membership brother! . I was certainly impressed by the data capabilities and also love the idea of the 02 / heart rate on the screen. As far as 'budget' cpap machines go this one ticks a lot of boxes! Best wishes mate. Nicko
I live in the US, and had a sleep study done in September, and was told I need to use a CPAP machine. My prescription was sent in, only to be told when I called that there is a bit of a wait for a CPAP machine at the moment because of a recall and microchip shortage. The good news is I am 83 in line to get a CPAP machine. I finally gave up last week and decided to buy this Resvent machine. It cost me $605. I had to pay out of pocket for it because no seller I found online wanted anything to do with insurance. This is my first CPAP machine, but I was surprised how quite it is compared to the one I used when I had the sleep study.
Sorry to hear you have to wait so long. It took me 6 months and I just received mine. I used insurance so I need to use it 4 hours a day for compliance for 3 months. Mine has a SSD card no wifi!

Thanks Uncle Nick for another explosive video. Nick I picked my resvent ibreeze up 2 months ago in the states for $535.00 with no tax. The only thing that I've found that seems different is if you change your breathing pattern at all it seems to over compensate and pulses a little bit but eventually catches up and smooths out. The humidifier tank uses much less water then I have ever noticed in any cpap machine but at the same time it does not create an abundance of moisture. But over all I think it is much better than I ever expected it to be.
What a fantastic review. We definitely need a bigger playing field and competition for our community. Looking forward to your tutorials on this device. Cheers mate!
Hi Kath, you're absolutely right! Hopefully ResMed leave them alone for a few years so they can keep manufacturing quality devices. Cheers to you mate!
Hi 👋 Nick! I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I've gotten some great advice. I also like your sense of humour. So today I decided it was time to subscribe because you deserve to be rewarded for all the good work you've done and are still doing! Cheers mate! 🦊💜
Hi Taran Wow! Thank you so much mate . I really appreciate the support and hopefully i can continue to provide you with a few laughs and good advice into the future. Lots of love. Nicko
I received today the resvent iBreeze 255TA from my insurance carrier here in Babylon Town USA I am going to be watching and using your review as benchmarks Cheers Mate 🏴🇩🇪🇺🇸
I live in America and just received the resvent. No heated hose but option for heated tube like you showed. My first night I could only do an hour. I did feel a push for breathing between 3=4. I was glad to see the lower pressure! Agree with distilled water as therapist stressed this. Agree about tubing in the back and lack of swivel. I waited over 6 months for a machine. Also I have an SSD card, no wifi!
I am here in the states and received my iBreeze about 2 weeks ago. Mine dose not have the heated tube option but no big deal. living near the coast the humidity is not bad here and I leave the setting very low and have not had too many issues. Noise wise I sleep fine its pretty quite. The only gripe I have is the power supply for me anyway it is noisy, very high pitch wine, luckily I have it under the night stand and it dose not bother my sleep.Thanks for a great review and sleeplay was awsome to deal with
G'day Bryan, thanks for sharing your great feedback about the iBreeze and also about my sponsor Sleeplay. They're great people and the service is top notch. Best wishes mate. Nick
There may be something wrong with your power supply. I have an ibreeze and the power supply is silent. I'm the type of person that gets very irritated by power supplies that buzz, so I'd have returned it if it wasn't silent.
Hi Ruth, i agree although the watch is a bit pricey. Still, i've been calling for this kind of tech for a long time now and glad to see someone was listening . Thanks for your support and membership! God bless. Nicko
I am on my 3rd week using CPAP with the IBreeze. Mine has no wifi capabilities but the company told me a module may be available in March. I do like the machine but as a newbie the longest use has been 4.5 hrs. I also do not like the water chamber for the reasons you didn't. My one big gripe is last night I woke up and the air was so cold I felt like I was breathing refrigerated air. It is extremely cold here outside but my bedroom was warm enough to not need a blanket. I called the company and was told the only solution is a hose cover, not good. It will be even colder tonight so 🤞or it will be returned which I would really not like to do. I was very fortunate that I only paid $575 and free shipping . I am really looking forward to your new tutoring classes as I could really use them. Thanks for all you do.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience. 4.5 hours for the first 3 weeks is actually pretty good going! Well done. Does your have an integrated heated tube kit? I'll be doing the tutorial in the next few weeks so please keep an eye out for them. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews No, I don't have a heated tube kit. I did check out the link you suggested and it looks like a really good option. I may return the IBreeze and try for an Airsense 10. I will surely watch all your vids, they are so very helpful. Thanks from the deep freeze in America.
I just got one. Love the apap algorithm and leak prevention, humidity. My only issue is the filter does not seem very good. Its only a one piece of white cotton and I'm not even sure it covers the whole entry point. Also the filter latch rattles and clicks with every breath so I had to put a little piece of scotch tape to hold it down. Also the machine has a tendency to whine which can be annoying no matter what mask I use and the air noise is pretty loud if the filter is facing your bed. Which is how I have it placed so the tube does not get stuck on the dresser corner since its on bottom back and doesn't rotate. I wonder if its the humidity tray that makes the whining, which is a little bit of a pain to get out, and has a sketchy plastic locking latch I'm afraid of breaking. But as far as the actual sleeping comfort its pretty good. different algorithm then the resmed or dreamstation but it works well for me. I always used dreamstation cause the resmed airsense 10 pulsed too much on my face. This ibreeze will do some pulses if my breathing gets irregular but quickly adapts. I have a really weak exhale and use ipr2 which seems perfect so far. Also disappointed mine doesn't have wireless so I have to pull the card to upload every month. Other then that So far so good, hopefully it lasts.
Hi Ross, glad to hear it brother. Please consider becoming a channel member if you find the information helpful - cpap.review/membership . All the best legend. Nicko
New member here from the US! Thank you for another great review! My son showed me your videos and they have been very helpful. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Hi Thelma a big thanks for your membership! I know life is expensive enough as it is so your support is very much appreciated. Stay tuned as i'm doing some members tutorials very soon where you can watch and ask any questions you have. Best wishes. Nicko
Great review Nick. Would like to see what the inside looks like. I had a choice of a iBreeze or a Airsence 11 and chose the Airsence 11 and love the machine. New member, joined Feb 2nd. Thank you for all you do for us pappers. You have helped me with my CPAP therapy more than you know. THANK YOU !!
Thanks legend. I think if you have a choice between the two then most would probably choose the AS11 so you made a good call. I'm glad i've been able to help you on your journey mate and i really appreciate your membership to the channel Nicko
i just got mine a few days ago and I stopped breathing on purpose to see what it would do and to my surprise, the airflow stopped ! when i started breathing again a big blast of air came in . isn't the air supposed to blast when you stop breathing to open the airway and keep you breathing regularly?
I see the Welleue version of the Resvent are currently available for $455 US - and comes complete with an O2 Ring pulse Oximeter (normal price $150 ?) included for free. Sounds like a very nice machine - I especially like the open data features!
A decibel is a measure of 'perceived' volume. If the volume of a static sound is gradually and subtly increased, the point at which you are then able to actually 'detect' that the volume has been increased is said to be 1 dB louder. An increase of 10 dB is perceived as a doubling of volume.
Thank you for calling out the sheer silliness of creating a cpap for women or men. Unless there is a mechanical difference (maybe men need a larger volume or higher-pressure pump), shouldn't gender simply be a choice in the configuration menu so that an algorithm can take that into account?
A great review, thanks. I’m sure it’s just coincidental that the prices for CPAP device are so designed to take advantage for example, the rebates from health insurance (here in Oz).
I've been using an AS 11 for apx. 2 mos now, so I'm kind of used to CPAP and that machine. Just got an iBreeze as a backup and tested it for about half an hour or so, while awake. Not sure if I got a bad one, or of this is normal for this brand, but I'm not happy with the way it works. It FORCES me to breathe to IT'S rhythm, not mine. That rhythm varies. Plus the pressure rate is all over the map. One or two breaths are fairly comfortable at around 4, then the next one "toots" the mask at 6 or 7+, it's so strong! Then it will drop down again, making it hard to breathe. I started out with all optional settings off. Then I tested the various clinical controls, pressure min/max, CPAP/APAP modes, EComp, RCare, IPR etc. to see if that changed the problem and it did not. Very disappointed! I plan to send it back - which I VERY rarely do.
Even solid, non marketing directed medical research rarely bothers to distinguish which particular aspects of sex differences causes a given medical difference. A lot of the time, if you don't fit the usual male/female divide, you have to guess: is it chromosomes? is it anatomy? is it hormone levels? is it the residual effects of past hormone levels? all those and more are the correct answer in some cases and not others. Anyone who is transgender and/or intersex just kinda gets written off as an outlier.
Love to see other players in the space, but what about Fisher & Paykel? I wish they'd come out with an updated machine. I'd love to see what they do. The Evora is my favorite mask with the Brevida close behind.
Very happy with my ibreeze 20a, doesn't have wifi or bluetooth thou. Web reports are already worth half of the price. In Europe I can currently find it for a little over 300€!
Hi Nick, i really like your humour and your video is so informative ! May i know if you also have a video review on iBreeze Auto Bipap machine ? I'm not quite sure which type i should get. Thanks !
What about all of the talk on 'other' channels about 'actual' 45dB noise levels and the irregular pressure surges causing rousing and choking? Is that not really a thing? I had discounted this device because of the sheer proliferation of comments confirming public experience with this device on that channel.
Hi just ordered the resvent from wellue and I have a prescription from September of this year. I have a resmed machine already, so I shouldn't have a problem ordering another one? TIA 😊
Awesome review, thank you! Unfortunately your U.S. sponsor doesn't ship to Canada, and so far Google hasn't been very helpful in finding a Canadian retailer that stocks the machine.
G'day Andrew, thanks for your membership brother . I know life is already very expensive so i certainly appreciate your support. Send Aaron an email mate and say you're a member of the channel. He will sort you out with a shipping quote to Canada - aaron.fuhrman@sleeplay.com . Let me know how you go
Great review! Are the FDA test results of the melamine foam in the public domain? I would be interested to read. Is the sound abatement foam in direct contact with the air stream as the design of the ResMed and Philips? Thanks
I used my ibreeze for the first time last night along with a nasal cradle mask. It feels as if there is something off with the algorithm of the air coming in and out. It doesn't line up with my own breathing pattern, and I feel that it kept forcing me to inhale/breathe in when I wasn't quite finished exhaling yet. The inhalation/exhalation sounds are keeping me awake. I tried using white noise so that I wouldn't hear these sounds sounds, because that too was throwing off my natural breathing pattern and keeping me from going to sleep. I felt like it was trying to force me to breathe a certain way. Needless to say, I was unable to go to sleep even after two hours, so I just took it off and finally fell asleep naturally.
I may have had a similar issue. Machine had a mind of its own and “forced” my breathing pattern. Switched hose setting to 19mm (even though I was using 15mm) and breathing became smooth. Switched hose later to an actual 19mm hose and breathing is still nice and smooth and follows my own breathing pattern like it’s supposed to.
Man these shortages and recalls have been rough... I'm still having to use my Dreamstation One, I have been on the waitlist for a new CPAP for 6 months now at 3 different DME's... Still nothing. I have been using my DS1 for 6 years now and am eligible for a replacement through insurance. I can't afford to buy one out of pocket, times have been rough. I call the DME's every other week and they just saying they aren't sure when they will get some in :( I was super excited when the spin wheel on the giveaway almost stopped on my name, but it barely passed me :( Really hope the production picks up soon.
Hi Dustin, yeah it's very rough mate however it's actually ResMed and Philips fault. They created the collusive oligopoly market where they command 90% market share by using patents and lawyers to basically block new players from providing products and services. Although CPAP machines are essentially very basic, it's a very difficult industry to enter with these two big bullies in the way. Now that one of the bullies has punched themselves in the face and are out, the other can't keep up. If there was say 5 or so big companies who each had 15-30% market share then we would not be in the mess right now. ResMed can blame covid and component shortages all they like but the real truth is they created this mess. Cheers brother and good luck! Hopefully you have been able to remove the foam or put in a new foamless chamber with some of the vids i have done. Nick
The Resvent ibreeze I got doesn't support heating tubing. I'm very disappointed in that. My Airsense 10 had the climate line and I loved it. I'm hoping the company that sent me the ibreeze will take it back because I don't want it.
Do you know if you if there is a tube system for this with nose pillows? I'm new to this but I kind of want to start with nose pillows and im not sure if any machine is interchangeabe with any machines...
I don't understand why foam in the airway pathway can be a good idea. I believe that dense foam encasing the chamber like the original Respironics would be more effective. As an engineer I would think that foam in the airway pathway would be bad idea due to the collection of dust and debris through the years no matter how often you changed the filters; Unless they expect you to purchase a new machine every 5 years like most insurance companies authorize...
on the fence between Luna g3 and ibreeze, I have read some reviewes regarding irractic ramping up on the ibreeze, have you heard this? working for a dme looking for best device , but also ease of retrieving data for compliance, what is your opinion?
I’m frustrated! After having and loving the “toxic” dream station, my motor quit blowing. I waited for three months to get this resent I breeze. I’m not sure if the settings are accurate because when I inhale, the air surges and feels like it’s blowing me up like a balloon. What setting do I need to do to have a gradual pressure rather than a great surge of air… it’s almost like it’s breathing for me…
I have been using the iBreeze in the US for three months now. How does it calculate the AHI? My issue is that I can sleep from 10pm to about 4am wake up with an AHI under 1.0. Then if I'm not working that day and I go back to sleep for just 2 hours or so I will wake with an AHI over 5.0. It is hard to believe my apnea is so bad for the last two hours that my AHI goes up so much. Admittedly this two hours of sleep is never a deep sleep i.e REM. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or comments from other subscribers.
As always a great review Nick but i do have a ? about your comment about do not buy a Philips machine which is fair enough but haven't they fixed the foam problem with new machine built after April 2021 if my memory is correct. Don't get me wrong i have no love Philips i just bring this up because you like to keep video comments fair and as truful as to the best of your knowledge. Any how keep up the great work you do to keep us informed :) P.s On a side note still loving my secondhand Resmed Airsense 10 auto but still don't love Resmed company practices
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. Personally i don't believe they have and here's why - ruclips.net/video/1r6xoM05Lro/видео.html . Even if they have fixed the foam issue, if you watch my video on the FDA 483 report - ruclips.net/video/plC1aUPbcdw/видео.html it shows now negligent and unethical they are as a company and as such, even if they did have an amazing cpap (the DS2 is rubbish) then i still wouldn't recommend it. Yes, you're right, ResMed has a few issues also however nowhere near as bad as Philips. Cheers legend
Hi Uncle Nick. Thanks for the video on this machine. @23:45 you mention a watch that collects the SpO2 and Heart Rate data. Is there a link to that specific watch? I currently use a Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch for that data. Could I use that instead? It would be nice to corelate that data with the CPAP therapy data. Thanks!
So I just got a ibreeze to hold me over while I wait for my new Philips dream station. Either mine has a problem or I don’t gel with it. It’s like the algorithm for the breathing is just not right. I dislike the machine. Maybe there’s a problem with it. We will see.
Try changing the hose setting to 19mm regardless of the actual hose size you’re using. I don’t have an explanation for it but this fixed the issue for me.
Just tried mine tonight and I'm miserable I can't breathe with an honor off it's like a robot wants me to breathe a certain way but I can't breathe the way I need to breathe I've had three CPAP machines before this all different brands all work great and fine from day one this is weird and I hate it and I can't breathe in it 😢 it's also noisier than any of my machines have been I can hear the air in the tube so loud. It's also dryer than the last ones I've used no matter what setting I put it on humidity wise my mouth is so dry.
I haven’t heard ibreeze being here in the states. This machine sounds pretty sweet. Does anyone just wake up for no reason. Wondering if change in air pressure resmed 11 might be the culprit. Any thoughts?
Enjoyed your review. Thanks so much. I only have one question. Can the wifi be turned off? Not a big fan and not a requirement here in the US. (not connecting something that can be hacked into my network)
can we discuss the tongue dropping back into the throat which leads to sleep apnea, which no CPAP channels are discussing, this is affecting using a CPAP machine as blowing air into the lungs is only part of the problem, chin straps facial masks, nasal masks won't help this main problem of sleep apnea, god bless you all
A dropped tongue is one of the main causes for apnoea and cpap therapy does work. You're either not a cpap user or not well informed. I recommend watching Nicko's videos that explain apnoea and how cpap works
you need good maskfit. I use to have this problem. dropped tongue would cause my cheeks to blow up like a chipmunk and it bothered me although you still get therapy. A good fitting mask and it no longer happens to me. You can subconsciously learn not to do it also with use.
Thanks Nick for all your good work helping us heaps. I live in Melbourne and need to update my s9. Can you advise me whether the smartmed i breeze and smartmed i disc are of similar technology and quality. If so I love the option of the i disc for its portability and battery. If the i breeze is better in tech and quality I will buy that one. Please advise where to buy in Melbourne to support your company and get a good price.
Thanks for the detailed review. One question, would you know whether the data recorded in the SD card is compatible with the OSCAR open source CPAP software? Thanks.
I don't believe it is just yet but you can almost guarantee it will be in the near future as there will be a lot of people who will end up with this unit. Cheers
After the FDA approved 11 million dangerous Phillips machines I really don't consider FDA approval as important anymore. I would rather trust a blogger.
@@R0M8N As they also suspect Responics was aware of the problem for 3 or 4 years and kept it a secret. As someone now suffering serious lung problems am not so quick to forgive. Failure by the FDA and Philips has effected my ability to breath and shortened my life. If it happens to you then maybe you will understand. How much of a settlement is your life worth? I will be dead long before this case makes it through the court system. Sorry for harsh response but this is personal issue to me.
I can't breath with this device, even in CPAP mode it increases and decreases the pressure and it often fails to sense your inhalation or when you're done exhaling.
yer a hoot, Dude! A pro (or near-pro?) who uses humor to teach, and well ...just have a good time, eh. Yer stuff here: it's amusing, funny, yet eye-opening sociocultural, to have you affirm LGBTQIA+ folks! Yay! G'Day.
The "budget machine" and "premium" framing isn't super accurate and gives the wrong impression - it makes these machines seem inferior. ResMed has an established price based on reputation and insurance arrangements. People also have a certain expectation of what a machine should cost and hesitate to buy despite the fact that the cost of production on these all these machine is pretty low - the motors cost 20-30 on the Airsense 11 (certification tho is where the expense lies). Never the less, ResMed is probably making a healthy margin. I just got a Resmed 11 through insurance and after everything it was just a bit cheaper than this is new. I do wish it had aftermarket options like the Resmed external humidifier tank for example), but from the looks of it this seems pretty good. Maybe better with improved EPR function and the R value thing - had to use Oscar and some reasoning to figure that out with mine.
I have been using mine for over a year and It is very, poorly designed! Location of hose connector is just plain stupid you have to turn the display/control away from you so the hose is in the correct position for patient to use. water chamber is small capacity, difficult to pull out of the machine for filling and If you have arthritis in your hands a painful, nearly impossible task. It's a piece of junk.
So are you payed to pimp this machine, I tried it after getting it from a provider I have never used who kept having me change settings to make it work right and now I'm being sent a new machine in hopes that it works right. I talked to my usual provider and they quit selling the revent because they're having too many problems with them.
Well here's a negative review for the I breeze, I think its a pussy. Admittedly i have only had it a week, but so far I'm not overly impressed. Also note I have severe apnea. In that instant where you actually fall asleep and you have an apnea and stop breathing, the machine loses it and just sits there sounding like a mini electric paint stirrer and as you are still slightly awake it will wake you up fully. My old machine would gently increase pressure and you would drift off into fulln sleep. This bloody thing just has a little hissy fit enstead. I had this happen at least a dozen times in a row over approximatly an hour last night before eventually I got off to sleep, only to wake up 5 hours later with a severely stuffed nose. I have been using CPap 10 year so I know my way around a machine. The menu system is absolutely brilliant on this machine, but the actual sleep algo seems screwed up. This is the 4th night in a row I have had problems, even after multiple sttings changes. It almost ended up embedded in the bedroom wall last night. I just felt like throwing it across the room I was so frustrated from losing so much sleep over multiple nights. I will give it another week, but then its going in the bin. I think this machine would b fine for mild sufferers, but for myself I think it will b a fail.
Thanks Uncle Nicko. Did you already test the Lowenstein Prisma device?Did you have good experiences with it? I know its parameters so only your personal opinion is needed. I don't have the opportunity to wait for your video about it because I can get one instead of my Dreamstation beginning of the next week. Otherwise I have to fight for a refund to buy a Resmed. I have to involve a lawyer and/or consumer protection authority in this case. I hate this sh*... Many thanks for you feedback.
Hi Laszlo, great to see that membership badge brother. Much appreciated and i'm also loving the channel emoji's! Great stuff mate It's next on my list mate. I have bought one and i've had a little look at it but haven't used it yet. I have to get the ibreeze stuff done first but then i will have a good look at the Lowenstein device and i'll let you know my thoughts hopefully by the end of Feb. Best wishes brother Nicko

I live in the US, and had a sleep study done in September, and was told I need to use a CPAP machine. My prescription was sent in, only to be told when I called that there is a bit of a wait for a CPAP machine at the moment because of a recall and microchip shortage. The good news is I am 83 in line to get a CPAP machine. I finally gave up last week and decided to buy this Resvent machine. It cost me $605. I had to pay out of pocket for it because no seller I found online wanted anything to do with insurance. This is my first CPAP machine, but I was surprised how quite it is compared to the one I used when I had the sleep study.
Fantastic for you.
Sorry to hear you have to wait so long. It took me 6 months and I just received mine. I used insurance so I need to use it 4 hours a day for compliance for 3 months. Mine has a SSD card no wifi!
My insurance is "renting" it to me. Will end up paying roughly $550 total for it 🙄

Thanks Uncle Nick for another explosive video. Nick I picked my resvent ibreeze up 2 months ago in the states for $535.00 with no tax. The only thing that I've found that seems different is if you change your breathing pattern at all it seems to over compensate and pulses a little bit but eventually catches up and smooths out. The humidifier tank uses much less water then I have ever noticed in any cpap machine but at the same time it does not create an abundance of moisture. But over all I think it is much better than I ever expected it to be.
I just received the resvent. Thanks for the info
What a fantastic review. We definitely need a bigger playing field and competition for our community. Looking forward to your tutorials on this device. Cheers mate!
Hi Kath, you're absolutely right! Hopefully ResMed leave them alone for a few years so they can keep manufacturing quality devices. Cheers to you mate!
This channel guides me into feeling in a great mode. Thanks Nick.
Great to hear it legend! Appreciate the comment Nick
Hi 👋 Nick! I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I've gotten some great advice. I also like your sense of humour. So today I decided it was time to subscribe because you deserve to be rewarded for all the good work you've done and are still doing! Cheers mate! 🦊💜
Hi Taran Wow! Thank you so much mate . I really appreciate the support and hopefully i can continue to provide you with a few laughs and good advice into the future. Lots of love. Nicko
Mine just came in today. I've been waiting I don't know a year now. So happy to start sleeping again and getting oxygen.
Great stuff! Congrats
I received today the resvent iBreeze 255TA from my insurance carrier here in Babylon Town USA I am going to be watching and using your review as benchmarks Cheers Mate 🏴🇩🇪🇺🇸
😮
I live in America and just received the resvent. No heated hose but option for heated tube like you showed. My first night I could only do an hour. I did feel a push for breathing between 3=4. I was glad to see the lower pressure!
Agree with distilled water as therapist stressed this. Agree about tubing in the back and lack of swivel.
I waited over 6 months for a machine. Also I have an SSD card, no wifi!
I am here in the states and received my iBreeze about 2 weeks ago. Mine dose not have the heated tube option but no big deal. living near the coast the humidity is not bad here and I leave the setting very low and have not had too many issues. Noise wise I sleep fine its pretty quite. The only gripe I have is the power supply for me anyway it is noisy, very high pitch wine, luckily I have it under the night stand and it dose not bother my sleep.Thanks for a great review and sleeplay was awsome to deal with
G'day Bryan, thanks for sharing your great feedback about the iBreeze and also about my sponsor Sleeplay. They're great people and the service is top notch. Best wishes mate. Nick
There may be something wrong with your power supply. I have an ibreeze and the power supply is silent. I'm the type of person that gets very irritated by power supplies that buzz, so I'd have returned it if it wasn't silent.
Great review. The heart rate O2 recording is really cool.
Hi Ruth, i agree although the watch is a bit pricey. Still, i've been calling for this kind of tech for a long time now and glad to see someone was listening . Thanks for your support and membership! God bless. Nicko
I am on my 3rd week using CPAP with the IBreeze. Mine has no wifi capabilities but the company told me a module may be available in March. I do like the machine but as a newbie the longest use has been 4.5 hrs. I also do not like the water chamber for the reasons you didn't. My one big gripe is last night I woke up and the air was so cold I felt like I was breathing refrigerated air. It is extremely cold here outside but my bedroom was warm enough to not need a blanket. I called the company and was told the only solution is a hose cover, not good. It will be even colder tonight so 🤞or it will be returned which I would really not like to do. I was very fortunate that I only paid $575 and free shipping .
I am really looking forward to your new tutoring classes as I could really use them.
Thanks for all you do.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience. 4.5 hours for the first 3 weeks is actually pretty good going! Well done. Does your have an integrated heated tube kit? I'll be doing the tutorial in the next few weeks so please keep an eye out for them. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews No, I don't have a heated tube kit. I did check out the link you suggested and it looks like a really good option. I may return the IBreeze and try for an Airsense 10. I will surely watch all your vids, they are so very helpful. Thanks from the deep freeze in America.
I just got one. Love the apap algorithm and leak prevention, humidity. My only issue is the filter does not seem very good. Its only a one piece of white cotton and I'm not even sure it covers the whole entry point. Also the filter latch rattles and clicks with every breath so I had to put a little piece of scotch tape to hold it down. Also the machine has a tendency to whine which can be annoying no matter what mask I use and the air noise is pretty loud if the filter is facing your bed. Which is how I have it placed so the tube does not get stuck on the dresser corner since its on bottom back and doesn't rotate. I wonder if its the humidity tray that makes the whining, which is a little bit of a pain to get out, and has a sketchy plastic locking latch I'm afraid of breaking. But as far as the actual sleeping comfort its pretty good. different algorithm then the resmed or dreamstation but it works well for me. I always used dreamstation cause the resmed airsense 10 pulsed too much on my face. This ibreeze will do some pulses if my breathing gets irregular but quickly adapts. I have a really weak exhale and use ipr2 which seems perfect so far. Also disappointed mine doesn't have wireless so I have to pull the card to upload every month. Other then that So far so good, hopefully it lasts.
Another great review Nick.
Thanks to your informative channel, I have just received a full refund from Philips for my Dreamstation.
Hi Ross, glad to hear it brother. Please consider becoming a channel member if you find the information helpful - cpap.review/membership . All the best legend. Nicko
Best review yet Uncle Nicko hahahahahah. You could have been a stand up comedian
J Dizzle! Thank you brother . I ended up taking out a lot of stuff i'm sure you would have enjoyed
New member here from the US! Thank you for another great review! My son showed me your videos and they have been very helpful. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Hi Thelma a big thanks for your membership! I know life is expensive enough as it is so your support is very much appreciated. Stay tuned as i'm doing some members tutorials very soon where you can watch and ask any questions you have. Best wishes. Nicko
Great review Nick. Would like to see what the inside looks like.
I had a choice of a iBreeze or a Airsence 11 and chose the Airsence 11
and love the machine. New member, joined Feb 2nd. Thank you
for all you do for us pappers. You have helped me with my CPAP
therapy more than you know. THANK YOU !!
Thanks legend. I think if you have a choice between the two then most would probably choose the AS11 so you made a good call. I'm glad i've been able to help you on your journey mate and i really appreciate your membership to the channel Nicko
Hi Nicko,
The backlog is exactly why I twisted my sleep specialists arm to get a Luna. I was prescribed a Luna II, but was upgraded to the G3.
i just got mine a few days ago and I stopped breathing on purpose to see what it would do and to my surprise, the airflow stopped ! when i started breathing again a big blast of air came in . isn't the air supposed to blast when you stop breathing to open the airway and keep you breathing regularly?
I see the Welleue version of the Resvent are currently available for $455 US - and comes complete with an O2 Ring pulse Oximeter (normal price $150 ?) included for free. Sounds like a very nice machine - I especially like the open data features!
A decibel is a measure of 'perceived' volume. If the volume of a static sound is gradually and subtly increased, the point at which you are then able to actually 'detect' that the volume has been increased is said to be 1 dB louder. An increase of 10 dB is perceived as a doubling of volume.
I thought it was 3db to detect the volume increased?
Thank you for calling out the sheer silliness of creating a cpap for women or men. Unless there is a mechanical difference (maybe men need a larger volume or higher-pressure pump), shouldn't gender simply be a choice in the configuration menu so that an algorithm can take that into account?
Right? I’m not a fan of rose gold. And so many things are pointlessly gendered.
A great review, thanks. I’m sure it’s just coincidental that the prices for CPAP device are so designed to take advantage for example, the rebates from health insurance (here in Oz).
Ah it's like that with eyeglasses here in the U.S. they conveniently cost exactly what your insurance covers... minus extras.
I've been using an AS 11 for apx. 2 mos now, so I'm kind of used to CPAP and that machine. Just got an iBreeze as a backup and tested it for about half an hour or so, while awake. Not sure if I got a bad one, or of this is normal for this brand, but I'm not happy with the way it works. It FORCES me to breathe to IT'S rhythm, not mine. That rhythm varies. Plus the pressure rate is all over the map. One or two breaths are fairly comfortable at around 4, then the next one "toots" the mask at 6 or 7+, it's so strong! Then it will drop down again, making it hard to breathe. I started out with all optional settings off. Then I tested the various clinical controls, pressure min/max, CPAP/APAP modes, EComp, RCare, IPR etc. to see if that changed the problem and it did not. Very disappointed! I plan to send it back - which I VERY rarely do.
Excellent work Nick. Thanks.
Even solid, non marketing directed medical research rarely bothers to distinguish which particular aspects of sex differences causes a given medical difference. A lot of the time, if you don't fit the usual male/female divide, you have to guess: is it chromosomes? is it anatomy? is it hormone levels? is it the residual effects of past hormone levels? all those and more are the correct answer in some cases and not others. Anyone who is transgender and/or intersex just kinda gets written off as an outlier.
Love to see other players in the space, but what about Fisher & Paykel? I wish they'd come out with an updated machine. I'd love to see what they do. The Evora is my favorite mask with the Brevida close behind.
This will be a worthwhile upgrade from my trusty Devilbiss, once my PHI covers $250 of any purchase related to medical equipment later this year.
There was a breeze in the summary 💨 was that your little camera person? 😆👍
Very happy with my ibreeze 20a, doesn't have wifi or bluetooth thou. Web reports are already worth half of the price. In Europe I can currently find it for a little over 300€!
Does this device have foam like Phillip's products? I used this as a BiPap. I am scared it may have foam and I can''t find a tear down of the device.
Hi Nick, i really like your humour and your video is so informative ! May i know if you also have a video review on iBreeze Auto Bipap machine ? I'm not quite sure which type i should get. Thanks !
What about all of the talk on 'other' channels about 'actual' 45dB noise levels and the irregular pressure surges causing rousing and choking? Is that not really a thing? I had discounted this device because of the sheer proliferation of comments confirming public experience with this device on that channel.
Hi just ordered the resvent from wellue and I have a prescription from September of this year. I have a resmed machine already, so I shouldn't have a problem ordering another one? TIA 😊
Good to have alternatives. Great review.
Hi Poe . I agree! Thanks for your membership and support. Nick
Would this machine qualify as an ASV machine? If not, does the Resvent company make an ASV machine?
Awesome review, thank you! Unfortunately your U.S. sponsor doesn't ship to Canada, and so far Google hasn't been very helpful in finding a Canadian retailer that stocks the machine.
G'day Andrew, thanks for your membership brother . I know life is already very expensive so i certainly appreciate your support. Send Aaron an email mate and say you're a member of the channel. He will sort you out with a shipping quote to Canada - aaron.fuhrman@sleeplay.com . Let me know how you go
How about compatibility with Apple Health? Is data FHIR compliant?
Great review! Are the FDA test results of the melamine foam in the public domain? I would be interested to read. Is the sound abatement foam in direct contact with the air stream as the design of the ResMed and Philips? Thanks
I used my ibreeze for the first time last night along with a nasal cradle mask. It feels as if there is something off with the algorithm of the air coming in and out. It doesn't line up with my own breathing pattern, and I feel that it kept forcing me to inhale/breathe in when I wasn't quite finished exhaling yet. The inhalation/exhalation sounds are keeping me awake. I tried using white noise so that I wouldn't hear these sounds sounds, because that too was throwing off my natural breathing pattern and keeping me from going to sleep. I felt like it was trying to force me to breathe a certain way. Needless to say, I was unable to go to sleep even after two hours, so I just took it off and finally fell asleep naturally.
I may have had a similar issue. Machine had a mind of its own and “forced” my breathing pattern. Switched hose setting to 19mm (even though I was using 15mm) and breathing became smooth. Switched hose later to an actual 19mm hose and breathing is still nice and smooth and follows my own breathing pattern like it’s supposed to.
Great thorough review...👍👍
Very kind of you to say. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers
Man these shortages and recalls have been rough... I'm still having to use my Dreamstation One, I have been on the waitlist for a new CPAP for 6 months now at 3 different DME's... Still nothing. I have been using my DS1 for 6 years now and am eligible for a replacement through insurance. I can't afford to buy one out of pocket, times have been rough. I call the DME's every other week and they just saying they aren't sure when they will get some in :( I was super excited when the spin wheel on the giveaway almost stopped on my name, but it barely passed me :( Really hope the production picks up soon.
Hi Dustin, yeah it's very rough mate however it's actually ResMed and Philips fault. They created the collusive oligopoly market where they command 90% market share by using patents and lawyers to basically block new players from providing products and services. Although CPAP machines are essentially very basic, it's a very difficult industry to enter with these two big bullies in the way. Now that one of the bullies has punched themselves in the face and are out, the other can't keep up. If there was say 5 or so big companies who each had 15-30% market share then we would not be in the mess right now. ResMed can blame covid and component shortages all they like but the real truth is they created this mess. Cheers brother and good luck! Hopefully you have been able to remove the foam or put in a new foamless chamber with some of the vids i have done. Nick
Cpap direct has this machine on sale
The Resvent ibreeze I got doesn't support heating tubing. I'm very disappointed in that. My Airsense 10 had the climate line and I loved it. I'm hoping the company that sent me the ibreeze will take it back because I don't want it.
G'day Cory, perhaps grab a hybernite heated tube kit which works with any device. I think i might have put a link in the vid description. Cheers
You are appreciated. Thank you.
So are you Cuddle Monster
Do you know if you if there is a tube system for this with nose pillows? I'm new to this but I kind of want to start with nose pillows and im not sure if any machine is interchangeabe with any machines...
Good video mate I’m currently using AirSence 10 I love it
CRIKEY!!! WHAT BLOWIN REVIEW!!
Thanks my friend
You're a crack up Nicko 🤣 Love your vids 😃
I don't understand why foam in the airway pathway can be a good idea. I believe that dense foam encasing the chamber like the original Respironics would be more effective. As an engineer I would think that foam in the airway pathway would be bad idea due to the collection of dust and debris through the years no matter how often you changed the filters; Unless they expect you to purchase a new machine every 5 years like most insurance companies authorize...
on the fence between Luna g3 and ibreeze, I have read some reviewes regarding irractic ramping up on the ibreeze, have you heard this? working for a dme looking for best device , but also ease of retrieving data for compliance,
what is your opinion?
I’m frustrated! After having and loving the “toxic” dream station, my motor quit blowing. I waited for three months to get this resent I breeze. I’m not sure if the settings are accurate because when I inhale, the air surges and feels like it’s blowing me up like a balloon. What setting do I need to do to have a gradual pressure rather than a great surge of air… it’s almost like it’s breathing for me…
Try changing the tubing option to 19mm.
@@JorgeGonzalez-im4wk Thanks for the tip! I was having a similar issue and that seems to help quite a bit!
@@JorgeGonzalez-im4wk That solved my issue too. On the 15mm setting the machine seemed to have a mind of its own.
I have been using the iBreeze in the US for three months now. How does it calculate the AHI? My issue is that I can sleep from 10pm to about 4am wake up with an AHI under 1.0. Then if I'm not working that day and I go back to sleep for just 2 hours or so I will wake with an AHI over 5.0. It is hard to believe my apnea is so bad for the last two hours that my AHI goes up so much. Admittedly this two hours of sleep is never a deep sleep i.e REM. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or comments from other subscribers.
As always a great review Nick but i do have a ? about your comment about do not buy a Philips machine which is fair enough but haven't they fixed the foam problem with new machine built after April 2021 if my memory is correct. Don't get me wrong i have no love Philips i just bring this up because you like to keep video comments fair and as truful as to the best of your knowledge. Any how keep up the great work you do to keep us informed :) P.s On a side note still loving my secondhand Resmed Airsense 10 auto but still don't love Resmed company practices
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. Personally i don't believe they have and here's why - ruclips.net/video/1r6xoM05Lro/видео.html . Even if they have fixed the foam issue, if you watch my video on the FDA 483 report - ruclips.net/video/plC1aUPbcdw/видео.html it shows now negligent and unethical they are as a company and as such, even if they did have an amazing cpap (the DS2 is rubbish) then i still wouldn't recommend it. Yes, you're right, ResMed has a few issues also however nowhere near as bad as Philips. Cheers legend
@@CPAPReviews Cheers Nick for the reply i agree with you i wouldn't buy a Philips machine either after the way Philips handle everything
Hi Uncle Nick. Thanks for the video on this machine. @23:45 you mention a watch that collects the SpO2 and Heart Rate data. Is there a link to that specific watch? I currently use a Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch for that data. Could I use that instead? It would be nice to corelate that data with the CPAP therapy data. Thanks!
So I just got a ibreeze to hold me over while I wait for my new Philips dream station. Either mine has a problem or I don’t gel with it. It’s like the algorithm for the breathing is just not right. I dislike the machine. Maybe there’s a problem with it. We will see.
Try changing the hose setting to 19mm regardless of the actual hose size you’re using. I don’t have an explanation for it but this fixed the issue for me.
Just tried mine tonight and I'm miserable I can't breathe with an honor off it's like a robot wants me to breathe a certain way but I can't breathe the way I need to breathe I've had three CPAP machines before this all different brands all work great and fine from day one this is weird and I hate it and I can't breathe in it 😢 it's also noisier than any of my machines have been I can hear the air in the tube so loud. It's also dryer than the last ones I've used no matter what setting I put it on humidity wise my mouth is so dry.
That has also been my experience with this machine.
@@1sweetalaskan so 😔
Change hose setting to 19mm regardless of actual hose size you’re using. This fixed the issue for me. Prior to that it had a mind of its own.
Do they produce a Bi-level machine?
G'day Peter, yes they do mate, although i have not tested it.
I haven’t heard ibreeze being here in the states. This machine sounds pretty sweet. Does anyone just wake up for no reason. Wondering if change in air pressure resmed 11 might be the culprit. Any thoughts?
All these CPAP machines look cool, but it’s impossible to know if any of these makers sell in the US.
Enjoyed your review. Thanks so much. I only have one question. Can the wifi be turned off? Not a big fan and not a requirement here in the US. (not connecting something that can be hacked into my network)
Yes it's just standard wifi (hooks up to your home wifi and requires home wifi password etc). Can switch it off
I believe wifi is not approved in the states yet. Probably for the same reasons you are leery lol.
Love your Aussie humour. You're definitely politically incorrect 😂. I just got my CPAP machine (iBreeze) yesterday
G'day brother, appreciate that. Good luck mate. Nicko
can we discuss the tongue dropping back into the throat which leads to sleep apnea, which no CPAP channels are discussing, this is affecting using a CPAP machine as blowing air into the lungs is only part of the problem, chin straps facial masks, nasal masks won't help this main problem of sleep apnea, god bless you all
Check out the Zippah Pro mouthpiece. It addresses the problem of the tongue falling backward.
A dropped tongue is one of the main causes for apnoea and cpap therapy does work. You're either not a cpap user or not well informed. I recommend watching Nicko's videos that explain apnoea and how cpap works
you need good maskfit. I use to have this problem. dropped tongue would cause my cheeks to blow up like a chipmunk and it bothered me although you still get therapy. A good fitting mask and it no longer happens to me. You can subconsciously learn not to do it also with use.
Thanks Nick for all your good work helping us heaps. I live in Melbourne and need to update my s9. Can you advise me whether the smartmed i breeze and smartmed i disc are of similar technology and quality. If so I love the option of the i disc for its portability and battery. If the i breeze is better in tech and quality I will buy that one. Please advise where to buy in Melbourne to support your company and get a good price.
What exactly is the ramp key on top of machine?
Thanks for the detailed review. One question, would you know whether the data recorded in the SD card is compatible with the OSCAR open source CPAP software? Thanks.
I don't believe it is just yet but you can almost guarantee it will be in the near future as there will be a lot of people who will end up with this unit. Cheers
I'm surprised this machine is that good. Better than Resmed in some aspect tbh. Like access to full reports!
I must admit i was certainly surprised. The algorithms seem spot on also. A few little improvements needed but overall a very solid device. Cheers
New here to c-paps, would this machine be good for traveling? Thank you and liking your videos!
Does the redsmed 11 have auto humidifier
Is this Machine FDA approved ?
Yes although 'emergency use authorisation' but i imagine like the vaccines they are here to stay. Cheers
After the FDA approved 11 million dangerous Phillips machines I really don't consider FDA approval as important anymore. I would rather trust a blogger.
@@unknownuser9417 well they suspect outside source which is ozone from cleaning machine
@@R0M8N As they also suspect Responics was aware of the problem for 3 or 4 years and kept it a secret. As someone now suffering serious lung problems am not so quick to forgive. Failure by the FDA and Philips has effected my ability to breath and shortened my life. If it happens to you then maybe you will understand. How much of a settlement is your life worth? I will be dead long before this case makes it through the court system. Sorry for harsh response but this is personal issue to me.

After brief research into CPAP machines I noticed everyone on RUclips talking about them is Australian.
Hello there what mask do you use
Why is it so noisy when I breathe? My wife said that she timed my breathing at 24 per minute.
The audio is quiet. Crank it up a notch. When listening on phone at max volume.
Uncle Nicko, what white teeth you have…….., cheers mate!
I can't breath with this device, even in CPAP mode it increases and decreases the pressure and it often fails to sense your inhalation or when you're done exhaling.
Try changing hose setting to 19mm regardless of which hose type you’re using. I don’t have an explanation but this worked for me.

I hear there's a procedure for that wink wink
@@CPAPReviews Yes, but without a hose... LOL
Here in the US the res assist app doesn’t work, it’s useless
Sorry to hear that mate. We will be integrating the ibreeze with sleephq at some point
@@CPAPReviews Is this plan still in the works? I’d sign up for sleephq if so.
The "budget machine" and "premium" framing isn't super accurate and gives the wrong impression - it makes these machines seem inferior. ResMed has an established price based on reputation and insurance arrangements. People also have a certain expectation of what a machine should cost and hesitate to buy despite the fact that the cost of production on these all these machine is pretty low - the motors cost 20-30 on the Airsense 11 (certification tho is where the expense lies). Never the less, ResMed is probably making a healthy margin.
I just got a Resmed 11 through insurance and after everything it was just a bit cheaper than this is new. I do wish it had aftermarket options like the Resmed external humidifier tank for example), but from the looks of it this seems pretty good. Maybe better with improved EPR function and the R value thing - had to use Oscar and some reasoning to figure that out with mine.
The iBreeze 2 have bad reviews . Mine sucks
IPR immediately makes this a BiPAP machine, not a CPAP.
I have been using mine for over a year and It is very, poorly designed! Location of hose connector is just plain stupid you have to turn the display/control away from you so the hose is in the correct position for patient to use. water chamber is small capacity, difficult to pull out of the machine for filling and If you have arthritis in your hands a painful, nearly impossible task. It's a piece of junk.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So are you payed to pimp this machine, I tried it after getting it from a provider I have never used who kept having me change settings to make it work right and now I'm being sent a new machine in hopes that it works right. I talked to my usual provider and they quit selling the revent because they're having too many problems with them.
Well here's a negative review for the I breeze, I think its a pussy. Admittedly i have only had it a week, but so far I'm not overly impressed. Also note I have severe apnea.
In that instant where you actually fall asleep and you have an apnea and stop breathing, the machine loses it and just sits there sounding like a mini electric paint stirrer and as you are still slightly awake it will wake you up fully. My old machine would gently increase pressure and you would drift off into fulln sleep.
This bloody thing just has a little hissy fit enstead. I had this happen at least a dozen times in a row over approximatly an hour last night before eventually I got off to sleep, only to wake up 5 hours later with a severely stuffed nose. I have been using CPap 10 year so I know my way around a machine. The menu system is absolutely brilliant on this machine, but the actual sleep algo seems screwed up. This is the 4th night in a row I have had problems, even after multiple sttings changes. It almost ended up embedded in the bedroom wall last night. I just felt like throwing it across the room I was so frustrated from losing so much sleep over multiple nights. I will give it another week, but then its going in the bin. I think this machine would b fine for mild sufferers, but for myself I think it will b a fail.
G’day Warren, just put it on fixed pressure mode with a ramp. Problem solved 🤝
Jesus, I think he shat himself towards the end of the video.
Let me guess, the ‘lady’ version is a little more expensive.
And more maintenance required:)
lol
Thanks Uncle Nicko.
Did you already test the Lowenstein Prisma device?Did you have good experiences with it? I know its parameters so only your personal opinion is needed. I don't have the opportunity to wait for your video about it because I can get one instead of my Dreamstation beginning of the next week. Otherwise I have to fight for a refund to buy a Resmed. I have to involve a lawyer and/or consumer protection authority in this case. I hate this sh*... Many thanks for you feedback.
Hi Laszlo, great to see that membership badge brother. Much appreciated and i'm also loving the channel emoji's! Great stuff mate It's next on my list mate. I have bought one and i've had a little look at it but haven't used it yet. I have to get the ibreeze stuff done first but then i will have a good look at the Lowenstein device and i'll let you know my thoughts hopefully by the end of Feb. Best wishes brother Nicko
