My mom has an Oxygo Fit ant it lasts 3 1/2 hours but it is too heavy. She needs one that is lighter and lasts 2 1/2 hours or more without charging it. Thank you.
I finally bought a concentrator for my downstairs, was a little spendy but now I have oxygen on both floors. You can buy a used one at a pretty reasonable cost.
I have recently missed work and on steroids and antibiotics for my COPD flare up, it has been a couple weeks but only feeling a little better. I get winded and start coughing while walking, or when anxious. Has anyone have any advice how to proceed?
Are you using pulse or continuous portable oxygen units? I’ve “graduated “ to continuous which is heavier and shorter battery life. Can you use pulse and just breathe faster? I know, sounds

I have Copd and I.m on Hospic. They increased my oxygen to 5-8 but took away my protable oxygen concenrator because Hospic portable oxygen concentrator only goes to 4L. I need one for doing small errands and can't really afford to buy one. Thank You
I saw a machine in internet (am skeptical) that is made in China. Says it is continuous flow and goes to 7, weighs 10 lbs. since only one on internet, and from China, either rip off or scam

So it partly depends on the type of portable you use. My Inogen G5 has 6 settings that I could use 24/7 but I just bought the Inoger at Home that goes to 5 lpm, and is continuous flow to use in my… read more
Yes, Medicare covers them as long as pulmonologist makes it a necessity for you to have it when you are out of the house... You have to go through a network provider too.
Good luck!
I have a backpack for mine which is great for walking. It doesn’t feel as heavy as having to carry it on my shoulder. It is well worth it to get one
Pricing varies from $1,495 (internet) to $2,154 (Inogen). Can’t see paying an extra $659 just to get it direct from Inogen, as well as two (2) extra years of warranty (five (5) years total).
If you have this unit, is it quiet?
If you have this unit, is it reliable?
Most suppliers online have a no-return policy (despite claiming a 30 days return option), and a restocking fee of 15% plus shipping if I hate it. Ugh !
I have been using the Philips EverFlo (31 pound beast) for the last year and… read more
I have the Inogen continuous flow as a travel machine. I cannot speak to reliability as I have used it just a few days at a time. I keep it in a box when not at use so I can load it in the trunk. It… read more
I have begun researching portable generators. I’m looking for some direction or feedback.
Thanks in advance!
My oxygen provider left me with a cylinder that looks like your 'e' cylinders but is 4' tall and 10-12 " in diameter for outages. I'll have to check on the capacity. If it blew could probably ride it… read more

Hi -- asking for my dad who has severe emphysema and is on 5-6L continuous flow at home with a floor concentrator. Questions please:
1- What options does he have for use outside the home with that kind of flow requirement? Tanks? Liquid oxygen
2-With the tanks (like the tanks that can fit onto a holster on a wheelchair or rollators) -- how many hours use does that give / what size?
3 - What if he needs several hours of portable use -- what can we do? (We think his inogen G3 does not provide… read more
@A MyCOPDTeam Member I can give you blueprints on how to build a custom electric wheelchair to adapt to electrical so you can use a home concentrator which is only one that can give you enough… read more
