Philips DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP - Complete Guide and Review 2025

The DreamStation 2 Auto is Philips Respironics' second-generation Auto CPAP. Completely redesigned compared to its predecessor, it features a compact design, an integrated colour touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity. This guide helps you understand its characteristics and decide whether it is the right device for you.

Please note: VivaRespire is a Belgian online store offering CPAP purchase in full ownership, outside the INAMI/RIZIV convention system. Ideal for starting quickly without a waiting list, or if your AHI is below 15.

Key Advantages of the DreamStation 2

Compact design

32% smaller than the DreamStation 1. The DreamStation 2 fits easily in a carry-on bag. The humidifier integrates directly into the device body.

Colour touchscreen

Simple navigation without physical buttons. Direct display of residual AHI, leak rate and hours of use directly on the device.

Integrated humidifier

The HumidifierOne chamber is dishwasher-safe. Designed to prevent bacterial growth and requires only weekly cleaning.

The DreamMapper App

The DreamMapper app (iOS and Android) connects via Bluetooth to the DreamStation 2. It allows you to view:

Daily therapy score and weekly trends
Residual AHI, mask leaks, hours of use
Tailored advice in case of adherence issues
A history of the last 365 days

Please note: Unlike the AirSense 11 (Wi-Fi), the DreamStation 2 uses Bluetooth. Synchronisation occurs via your smartphone, which then relays data to the cloud. This requires keeping your phone near the device at night.

DreamStation 2 vs AirSense 11 AutoSet: which to choose?

Criterion	DreamStation 2	AirSense 11 AutoSet
Auto algorithm	Philips Auto	ResMed AutoSet-14
Connectivity	Bluetooth (via smartphone)	Native Wi-Fi
App	DreamMapper	myAir
Display	Integrated colour touchscreen	Colour (non-touch)
Humidifier	HumidifierOne (integrated)	HumidAir 11 (removable)
Heated tube	DreamStation Heated Tube	ClimateLineAir 11
OSCAR analysis	Yes (SD card)	Yes (SD card)
Compactness	Very compact	Compact

Both devices are excellent quality. The choice often comes down to personal preference: the AirSense 11 is favoured for its native Wi-Fi and the mature myAir ecosystem. The DreamStation 2 appeals with its all-in-one design and more intuitive touchscreen.
