Portable Oxygen Machines

Which are you recommending. This one I see weighs 6 1/2 lbs. I was under the impression that these portables could not deliver over 3 ltrs . Crystalina

Its a completely different system of oxy production. With your oxy bottle or home oxy generator, you have a steady supply of oxy via the cannula into your nostrils. The portables use a different technology, due to their size, and they push oxy into your nostrils as you inhale which means you get much more oxygen per breath than at home or hospital bed. However, I still haven't come across an expert who could translate how much would I need to ramp up the power in my portable oxy gen to reach 5 ltrs. I usually take the portable on trips (frequent) and use it at nite, and put the output at 2 or rarely 3 out of five. So do whatever you feel good with. Re weight - the batteries and the oxygenerators inside (look like two big batteries) are the heavy parts, but that can't be avoided. I really can't say which one is better but the one you are looking at is a lot cheaper. That doesn't mean that is it necessarily worse, at all. So please do consult your physician on this. All I can tell you with conviction is - buy one, you wont be sorry and you will see its a good investment. Re noise - don't be bashful - weddings are always noisy. GL

I had an enogen . It would not deliver enough oxy for me . I use 4 liters 24/7 . It had settings on it from one to five . They did not represent liters . If you turned it up to 4 or 5 it just sucked through more of the air from the room, etc . Actually I got less with it turned up . It could not produce more than 3 ltrs. I got into some tricky situations . Had to sit and turn it down to 3 to get my levels up . I was very unhappy with my Dr. - I think copd patients are not treated well. We have a fatal disease and it seems they just want to hold our hand and collect their money. I live in the Michigan upper lower peninsula . It is a medical desert . Blessed Be, Crystalina

I just asked and here is the answer: Yes, there are portable oxygen concentrators that can provide 5 liters per minute (LPM) of oxygen flow. Here are a few options:
- RESJOY 5 Liter Continuous Flow Portable Oxygen Concentrator – Offers up to 5 LPM continuous flow and features a compact design for easy transport. It also includes a negative ion function for air purification.
- VARON 5L/min Pulse Flow Portable Oxygen Concentrator NT-01 – Provides 5 LPM pulse flow with 93%±3% oxygen concentration. It is lightweight and designed for everyday use, including outdoor activities.
- HACENOR Battery Portable Oxygen Concentrator HCN-5B – Supports 1-5 LPM continuous flow with 90%±3% oxygen purity at 1 LPM. It is compact, rechargeable, and suitable for travel.

I can’t thank you enough. I will research them. I will have one! Love that idea of getting free of the cart and tank. I can fly! Yay. I’m going to head west for the Pacific beach in Oregon! Thanks again , Crystalina
