Best portable oxygen concentrators

Looking for suggestions for a good and trustworthy portable oxygen concentrator. I cannot find anything where the oxygen supply lasts more than an hour using it on Liter 3. I want to be able to at least have 2-3 hours of oxygen for activities such as fairs, craft shows, walking, etc.

  1. Great question that you bring up here, And I think it's not so much the brand as the battery size. The basic battery size for portable oxygen concentrators lasts about 4 hours on 3lpm. Although, how long they last may vary somewhat based on brand. If you're looking for something that lasts more than 4 hours, you may want to look into extended battery options. Many POCs offer a double battery, which can provide significantly longer use. For instance, with an extended battery, portable pulse concentratorsi can last 8-10 hours on a setting of 3. This can be especially useful for longer outings without worrying about recharging or changing batteries frequently. What do you think? John. community moderator.

    1. The portable oxygen concentrator I use only gives me about 70 minutes on 2 liters. I will look into an extended battery. Do you have any suggestions for a portable oxygen concentrator? Looking for recommendations before I spend thousands on a concentrator. I am using a Zen O Lite portable concentrator. I just rent it and my insurance company pays

      1. That's neat that your insurance company pays for it. I cannot recommend a specific concentrator as I have no personal experience with them. So I'm hoping others in the community come forth with their recommendations. Please do keep us posted what you learn and what you decide to do. Good luck. John. community moderator.
