Traveling with Inogen Stationary Concentrator
Hi there. I use the Inogen Rove 6 portable pulse concentrator when I'm out and about and need O2 (I typically need it if I get sick, during recovery, and during strenuous exercise). I'm thinking about purchasing the Inogen stationary concentrator for when I travel to another country where obtaining a stationary O2 unit will be a hassle. That way, I can still use the portable while sightseeing and have the stationary at my airbnb for use at night, etc. This unit weighs 18 pounds and will fit in a carry-on. Has anyone else tried this? I'm hoping it will free me up to travel to Europe from the US again.

I’m going to travel with the Liberty2. It’s a smaller continuous flow (& pluse) POC. I’m not strong enough to lug around an 18# concentrator plus my rove6!
My O2 supplier has sent me several different machines but I told him I need smaller & lighter. I produces 1.9 liters tees continuous flow.
Check with airlines to find out what you are allowed to bring on flight before purchasing.

Just wanted to let everyone know that you can put the Inogen stationary oxygen concentrator that weighs 18 lbs. in a carry-on and take it with you in the cabin when flying. This was confirmed by Inogen and American Airlines. I'm pretty excited about purchasing this, because it will enable me to finally travel to Europe again without wondering about how to procure oxygen once I get there.
@mountain72 I just wanted to make sure everybody knows about the power supply in Europe.
To the best of my knoledge these machines must be transported in an upright position which can't be done as a carry on.
