The Best CPAP Machines in 2026

Updated January 5, 2026

If you've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it's likely your doctor has recommended you use a CPAP machine. These machines help treat sleep apnea by delivering pressurized air throughout the night to keep your airway open. There are many great options available, but it's important to choose one that aligns with your unique needs and prescribed pressure level. That's why we've compiled a list of the best CPAP machines based on features, feedback from users, and our own clinical experience.

Whether you're searching for your first machine or you want to upgrade your current one, we'll discuss the key features of each option to help you make an informed decision. Note that all the machines we will highlight have models that provide CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or APAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure). Work with your doctor to determine which option is right for you.

Before we jump into reviews of the latest CPAP machines, here's a quick look at our picks for the best CPAPs in 2026. Click on one to learn more about it or keep reading to see a breakdown of all five.

1. ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet

Price: $1,004

One of the newest CPAP machines on our list, the ResMed AirSense 11 is our pick for the overall best CPAP machine in 2026, a spot its held since its release in 2021. It has several helpful software features and hardware advantages that make it easier to maintain compliance with your therapy. For example, a built-in Mask Fit feature walks you through troubleshooting any mask leak by identifying where the leak is and prompting you through mask headgear adjustments for a better seal.

Those transitioning from other machines note that it runs much quieter, and users coming from the previous model, the AirSense 10, mention that the touchscreen interface is more user-friendly than the former knob and click button setup. Additionally, the AirSense 11 can wirelessly transfer therapy data to your healthcare provider, facilitating more impactful conversations with your doctor during appointments and eliminating the need to spend time manually transferring the data. All these benefits combined have helped it stay one of the best rated CPAP machines year after year.

With the most advanced technology and capabilities of any machine on our list, the AirSense 11 is the complete package in our clinical opinion and our best-rated CPAP machine. To learn more, read our in-depth ResMed AirSense 11 review.

2. ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet

Price: $960

If you're looking for a more affordable option, the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet is a reliable choice. Originally released in 2014, it offers the same therapy quality ResMed users have come to expect but lacks some of the software enhancements added to the AirSense 11. Many comfort features are still present, however. For example, the AirSense 10 can detect when you've put your mask on and slowly increase therapy pressure up to your desired level to make it easier to fall asleep.

Additionally, we're including free a ClimateLineAir heated hose with every AirSense 10 purchase. If you like using a humidifier to avoid nose and throat irritation, a heated hose is an essential accessory to prevent CPAP rainout, the buildup of condensation in your hose. Both the AirSense 11 and 10 also support the ResMed myAir app which helps track the quality of your therapy and provides coaching tips to improve therapy quality and compliance.

3. ResMed AirMini

Price: $919

Third on our list, the ResMed AirMini is our recommendation for the best portable CPAP machine in 2026. Compact in size, it's a good option for overnight flights (FAA approved), camping, and other situations when it wouldn't be practical to bring a full-sized CPAP machine. Users say that it's quieter than other portable machines and easy to pack, but we don't recommend using it for more than 1-2 nights in a row.

Portable machines are not designed for everyday use and can't replace a full-size machine in terms of features, durability, or therapy quality. For example, the AirMini lacks any of the therapy data download capabilities featured on the AirSense 11 and 10. For regular users, note that there is no humidifier, but waterless humidification options like ResMed's HumidX Filters are available if you use a nasal or nasal pillow mask. The small size of the device relative to normal machines can also lead to more heat generation, so be sure to position it in a space with plenty of ventilation.

4. Breas Z2 Travel CPAP

Price: $799

Another one of the best CPAP devices for frequent travelers, the Breas Z2 is just a bit larger and heavier than the AirMini but also more affordable. Still very small and compact, the Z2 can be used with almost any CPAP mask. Like the AirMini, it uses a heat moisture exchanger to provide waterless humidification. It has basic comfort features like reducing therapy pressure on each exhale, and there's also a free mobile app to help you track your sleep data.

Some users have noted that the Z2 can be a little louder than other travel machines they've used, particularly when using the "Z-Breathe" feature that reduces pressure on each exhale. There are some options to mitigate the noise, including an in-line muffler accessory. We recommend talking with your doctor before adjusting your setup.

5. Resvent iBreeze APAP

Price: $799

Rounding out our list of the best sleep apena machines, the Resvent iBreeze APAP offers much of the same great functionality as other top machines like the AirSense 10 and 11, but at a lower price point. A mask fit check mode helps ensure a secure seal, intelligent humidification adjusts the humidity of your therapy air based on room conditions, and comfort features like exhalation relief and pressure ramp are present as well. It's also compatible with a wide range of CPAP masks, giving you plenty of options to choose from for a comfortable fit.

One note to consider if you're a light sleeper is that it runs slightly louder (30 dBA) than the AirSense 11 (27 dBA) or AirSense 10 (26.6 dBA) but is otherwise a comparable and affordable alternative that has established itself as a reliable option since its release in 2023.

Which CPAP Machine is Best for You?

While the ResMed AirSense 11 is the best CPAP machine in our clinical opinion, there may be other factors like price, availability, or feature set which make another machine a better choice for you. We recommend speaking with your doctor or CPAP provider, especially if you're purchasing a CPAP for the first time, and we hope these CPAP machine reviews help you choose one that fits your unique needs.
