I guess I could use the Transcend II everyday, but to me it just seems too small and light for that. Perhaps because I started using CPAP's 20 years ago when you didn't have much choice, and units were much larger, I got used to big machines...so it's probably more of a perception of a problem, than a problem itself in using such a small light unit everynight.
As another long term (17yrs) CPAC user I have the same major concerns. The longevity and durability of a lower voltage motor in a small unit.
The Transcend is in the travel kit bag and it is a grab and go item when I need to head out.
