Travel, voltage, adapters, CPAP...
Traveling from the US to Scotland with an Airsense 10, do I need anything other than a plug adapter, or will I need a voltage converter?

No. Your machine does the conversion.
AC Input Range - 90W Power Supply: 100 - 240V, 50 - 60Hz, 1.0 - 1.5A, Class II

Hi JJR,
I was born and grew up in Scotland. I now live in England. We use the same, one voltage for the whole UK.
You don't need a converter – if you look at the bottom of your power transformer 'brick', you will see that it accepts a wide range of voltages. And it automartically adjusts to the 230v used here.
As for plug adapters, the easiest thing to do is to buy a UK version of the cable or cord that goes from the wall socket to your power transformer 'brick'. This has the advantage that it won't wobble or come loose once it's plugged in.
Amazon sells it.

But, I wouldn't leave home without the "U.S. cable". You never know when you might get stuck at the U.S. airport of departure and have to take a hotel overnight.rick blaine wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 5:46 pmThe easiest thing to do is to buy a UK version of the cable or cord that goes from the wall socket to your power transformer 'brick'.

Sure. Pack both.

Good idea on the cable. I’m bringing an adapter plug to use with multiple things, though. Thanks all for the info!
