FYI they make very small travel size machines

I had one the size of like a super fat burrito with a plug and a battery that I could even use on the plane if *had* to

I'd just like one less thing I have to plug in. It sucks that the first thing I have to do when checking in to a hotel is see where the plugs are so I can figure out which side of the bed I have to sleep on and/or if the plug is on the same side as the night stand so I don't have to put it on the ground.

You’re just getting your nest ready, nothing wrong with that. :)

Fingers crossed for you to have the convenience of the pill though!

The problem with the travel-sized machines is that by the time you add the power supply, hose and mask (espeically if it's full-face), you're not far off the volume of a carry bag for a full-sized machine.

Going to politely say that my experience was very different

my travel machine, hose, (admittedly) nose mask, and cord take up the same amount of space as a decent travel hairdryer

Easily fit inside either of my two carry on’s

but my home machine has a humidifier so maybe that’s the big size difference

EDIT: LPT a damp wash cloth next to the air intake is decent emergency “humidifier”.

similarly a damp towel in front of the HVAC unit can help humidify your hotel room

The nasal mask is probably where you get the most savings on volume. I wish I could use one but am stuck with full-face for the time being.

Do you have a clogged nose or problems keeping the mouth shut? In case of the latter, I just use medical tape.

Fierce case of sinus problems that I hope to get fixed in the coming months.

People also consider anything larger than a flashlight to be a burden. Smaller is still easier.
