DreamStation vs. DreamStation Go - size difference

Post by WakefulDead » Sat Nov 10, 2018 1:53 pm

I am surprised that I can't find any pictures or video reviews showing the size difference between the DreamStation and DreamStation Go. This seems like something that should be part of any review for the portable version (especially when it is a video review by the online cpap sellers), unless of course the size difference isn't that great and they don't want to highlight that. I know the dimensions are available, but seeing both units would be very helpful.

If anyone has any links to images or videos showing this difference, please share. If you own both units, and wouldn't mind taking a couple of pictures to show the size difference, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

He didn't say he couldn't find the dimensions of the Go.

What he said was he can't figure out how to compare the dimensions he knows of the Go with the regular without someone showing him a picture.

Yes, it is one thing to see the dimensions written out, vs. actually seeing the difference between the two units.

You could just take a piece of paper and draw out a couple boxes, then hold 'em up next to each other.

What do you want to see? Just the DS next to a Go? With or without the humidifier and/or battery for the respective units?

Here is an album with them side by side, with different pieces attached. I am not a pro, so there are plenty of shadows.

Remember, the Go has no power brick. All it needs is a C8 style power cord (like the one that plugs into the full-sized power brick).

Thank you for taking these pictures, especially with the various attachments/battery. I think the self contained power supply makes the biggest difference. Having owned and used both, do you think the Dreamstation Go was a worthwhile purchase? Thanks.

I was able to snap a couple of pictures at the therapist's office today:

I travel a lot for work and carrying my dream station around annoys me since I allready have a laptop and tool box. Also I don’t like the banging around it receives during air travel. I am ready to pull the trigger on a dreamstation go. It doesn’t appear we can run it through insurance and I doubt there is much of a used market yet. Anyone have any suggestions on the best deal out there yet for the little ‘go’ model? Is there any other must have accessories that I should pick up With my order?

Second wind CPAP had some used Dreamstation go units a few days ago $500.00 range.

With the humidifier's release, I thought I would update the album. With both the battery and the humidifier, this thing is loooooong.

So, what you're saying is that the portable is bigger than the non-portable :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just FYI, Secondwind sold their Go’s in like 24 hours. When I called, he said it took them 6-8 months to acquire the few they sold. He said people must keep them if the get one.

I wonder what the stats are on returns--or would return if they could.

That's because the longest Go has an attached battery and the normal Dreamstation doesn't.

Also the normal Dreamstation has an external power brick (not shown), while the Go power converter is built-in.

Thank you dakuda, your pictures were very helpful to me.
