Small, relatively cheap oxygen concentrators

Posted by robtlhughes @robtlhughes, Oct 13, 2024

I've got two plug-ins that are about a year old. They didn't require prescriptions and they are quiet. But neither can provide the 3 or 4 lm I need now at night, despite settings for those levels. My big OC, provided by the VA, still works fine. Anybody have similar experiences or know of cheap OCs that are durable?

I only use my stationary at night and turn it off every morning & on just before bed every day. I use a portable Inogen One G5 during the day. It’s worked just fine for me.

I've never been told not to turn off and on. I do mine in efforts to save electricity. Ridiculous amount. Rarely under 325.00 monthly.

No nothing like that .
Is this through your insurance? If it is request a new supplier that has better machines. If our electric goes out it sounds an alarm.

I don’t know how much electricity it uses I always have it on.
