The AirSense 11 AutoSet adds a touchscreen and guided setup features. The AirSense 10 AutoSet uses a screen and control dial. Both offer AutoSet therapy, integrated humidification and expiratory pressure relief (EPR). Choose the model that meets your prescription, budget and preferred controls; a newer generation does not by itself establish better treatment results.

What's the same between the AirSense 11 and 10?
Both AutoSet models automatically adjust pressure within the prescribed settings. Both also offer humidification and EPR. These shared features do not guarantee identical comfort or results for every person. Mask fit, prescribed settings and consistent use still matter. ResMed describes the AirSense 11 as using its established AutoSet and AutoSet for Her algorithms. See the AirSense 11 AutoSet specifications.
What the AirSense 11 adds over the AirSense 10
The main everyday differences are the touchscreen, Bluetooth pairing and myAir's Personal Therapy Assistant and Care Check-In. These can help with setup and getting used to treatment. They do not replace instructions from your care team. ResMed's myAir information explains supported devices and connection requirements.
Check the exact AirSense 10 version before buying. A Card-to-Cloud device records information on an SD card rather than sending it over cellular, and it does not connect to myAir. Other AirSense 10 versions may support cellular reporting, subject to network availability.
Which one should you buy?
- Consider AirSense 11 if you prefer touch controls and want the newer guided setup tools.
- Consider AirSense 10 if you prefer its dial controls and the exact model offers the features and price you want.
- Check your accessories. The heated tubes, water chambers and filters are generation-specific. A compatible non-heated SlimLine tube can be used with either generation, but an Air10 heated tube or chamber cannot be moved to Air11.
Confirm the exact machine and mask compatibility with your provider. Refer to the AirSense 11 user guide for compatible accessories.
Buying an AirSense 11? Check the spare-supplies option
If you have decided on a new AirSense 11 AutoSet, you can add a one-time bundle of spare supplies on the same product page. It contains one extra tube, an Air11 water chamber and six filters. A mask is not included in this supplies bundle.
- Choose the machine and its original tubing option.
- Tick Add spare supplies, then choose a spare SlimLine tube or ClimateLineAir 11 heated tube.
- Check the displayed saving and combined total before adding the bundle to your cart.
Your machine's original tube is still included, so the spare can be the same type or a different option. The heated tube and chamber must match the machine generation: AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 versions are not interchangeable.
Only add parts you expect to use. If you already own a working machine, you can buy replacement supplies separately; a new machine is not needed just to replace a tube or chamber. Check the product page for current bundle prices and availability.
The bottom line
AirSense 11 offers a newer interface and setup support; AirSense 10 may suit someone who prefers familiar controls. Compare the actual versions and current prices, and keep the prescribed therapy requirements first. Browse our Auto CPAP machines to compare the available options.
