Anyone use a portable concentrator and can recommend to us a lightweight easy to handle one? My husband had one once but it was a bit heavy (even pulling it on its wheels) and I would like to see him get one that is smaller and lighter. I cant remember the model he had before though.



Thanks!

I would love to know too. My husband had a regular oxygen concentrator with lincare, but was not happy with the customer support (as well as overbilling!). It looks as if your only option is to buy our own small portable concentrator. Wish medicare would pay for one.
Thanks

At least one full timer posted (I think at RV.net) that they managed to get Lincare to purchase a portable unit. We did a lot of traveling when my wife was on a concentrator, and Lincare would give us a lighter version of our home system when traveling, but it was still fairly heavy & not battery or 12V operated.

There are on line sites that let you compare the different portable units such as Preferred Health Choice. If you need continuous flow over 3 liters, your choices are limited...
