AirMini™ by ResMed User Reviews

Don’t bother buying

I’m unable to recommend the Resmed Air Mini, despite deleting and reinstalling the app countless times, this machine doesn’t hold its Bluetooth connection for more than a few days at a time and often not even for one day. Trying to connect the device is an exercise in frustration. If you’re looking for a small portable device with Bluetooth connectivity, I suggest you look elsewhere and find a device that actually works as it should. The company must be aware of the appalling reviews of this product and I only wish I’d done more research before buying from the slick salesperson at Perth CPAP. This machine is rubbish. I’m surprised that there isn’t a class action for faulty goods, if there is I’d be happy to join.

App needs fix please

Mirroring previous comments from others, the Bluetooth connectivity is simply appalling on this app. Trying to reconnect is painful, your device will not appear in list (regardless of blue flashing light) and the only way to resolve this is to turn off at the wall. Wouldn’t know about the data issues as I haven’t had functional Bluetooth for long enough to record a data set (cannot be bothered turning the device off at the wall everyday to resolve the Bluetooth issue but seems I will have issues accessing my own data to look forward to also.

Pay a fortune for this device team, some important fundamental to iron out here.

So far, unimpressed.

Response from developer

To start, please ensure that your AirSense 11 is not in Airplane Mode and that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. To reduce potential interference, try to limit the amount of other Bluetooth devices in the room. These steps may also help: First, check the list of paired devices in your phone settings and look for "ResMedxxxxxx" where the x's are the last 6 digits of your Air 11 serial #. Click this device and tap "Unpair" to remove the connection. Then, unplug your machine, reboot your phone, then plug your machine back in and try the pairing process once more based in the instructions in your Air11 user guide. If the connection issues you're experiencing continue, please reach out to us directly via myairsupport@resmed.com and one of our technicians would be glad to assist you further.

No upload

I have been using the AirMini for three months when travelling. I have not been able to upload data at all. The app is version 1.6.1 and all my settings meet the descriptions in the guides. It just keeps saying that the data cannot be uploaded because the data is invalid. It suggests I contact resmed support. I have done that through my respiratory provider and there has been no response from resmed. The app is woefully inadequate when it comes to clear troubleshooting and user support.

Help

I purchased an AirMini a couple of months ago and have absolutely loved the machine. The app has worked fine up until a couple of days ago when suddenly it would say I am only using the machine for two hours when in fact, I was using it for eight hours. It’s happened about three days in a row and I don’t know what to do to correct it. I did not get up, turn it off, or disconnect it, just slept continuously, but it still showed fewer hours than was actually used.

It’s a shame that with the magnitude of negative feedback, one would expect Resmed to be very humble, apologetic, and extremely eager to help it’s customers. My cpap company that I work with says that even though they sell Resmed products, they find Resmed as a whole very hard to work with and have an arrogant attitude and lack a willingness to help. (probably due to the Phillips Dreamstation problem, they feel they’re the only game in town and don’t need to provide excellence of service). When I read the response from Resmed to one of the reviews crying out for help, I was shocked by the lack of remorse, caring, or humbleness on behalf of Resmed in their response.

We regret to hear about the issues you're having with the AirMini app. We understand your concerns about customer service and want to assure you that feedback like yours is valuable and helps us improve. Data from your recent session may take a few hours to process and display, so you may initially see only partial data. If no data from your session has been transferred to AirMini app or displayed on the machine itself after 24 hours, please contact us directly at airminiappsupport@resmed.com for further assistance.

APP will NOT connect to Bluetooth

If the use of the app is the reason you may be thinking about purchasing the air mini PURCHASE A DIFFERENT PRODUCT elsewhere. No matter what I do Bluetooth will not connect via the app which renders the app completely useless. Connects fine via the Bluetooth on my phone though. Seems to me to me an inexcusable way to service a product.

Poor data reporting and linkage to Air11

My main machine is Air11. The Myair app allows for snapshot data as well as viewing history data. The Airmini app only allows viewing of snapshot data and history data can only be downloaded by clinician. However , if you purchased Airmini online this is not generally easy to do. And since there is no SD card the user data is essentially locked out from user access. The Airmini app data download was first added 6 yrs ago and has not been updated even though the Myair app has had user history access for a while. I would NOT recommend the purchase of Air Mini if you plan on occasional use. The total lack of app support should be a warning.

Difficult To Access Configuration Menu

Was hoping the app would be useful to set up and configure the Airmini, but it turned out to be anything but. There is no menu for setup and configuration to adjust pressure and whatnot, so I had to dig up the clinicians manual and find the hidden shortcut to enter the configuration menu (hold two fingers on the logo in the bluetooth menu). This really should just be a standard menu option, otherwise why bother with the app?

Also, why does Resmed need to harvest my usage data? That really should not be checked by default. The US desperately needs GDPR equivalency laws to protect personal information from this kind of unnecessary collection and abuse.

From reading through the clinician's manual, it seems there is another mode called "Autoset for Her" that is reminiscent of the "Bic for Her" marketing campaign. I can only assume it's the same geniuses behind both. But it does beg the question, why isn't the other mode called "Autoset for Him"? Small thing to nitpick, sure, but just indicative of all the other issues here.

Does everything I need

Super slick. Easy setup, intuitive interface. Options for sharing/not sharing data. Maybe the bad reviews here are for earlier versions.

Like most of the other reviews, works ok for a day, then bluetooth disconnects and can’t get it to reconnect again even if I delete and reinstall the app.
