Oxygen Machines for Home

But why should you use a home O2 machine instead of other oxygen systems? How do you choose the right one? And why do you have to maintain it regularly?

Benefits of Using An Oxygen Machine at Home

Here are reasons why an oxygen machine for home is the best type of personal oxygen system:

Continuous Flow of Oxygen 24/7

Because of its strong compressor, having an oxygen machine at home lets you enjoy a constant, unlimited stream of oxygen without staying in the hospital.

Safe and Easy to Use

With a home oxygen machine, there’s no need to replace or refill O2 tanks. It’s also safer and easier to move than a cylinder, especially since most concentrators come with wheels and handles.

High Oxygen Output

Whether you’re undergoing low-flow or high-flow therapy, there are plenty of 5-liter and 10-liter home oxygen concentrators to choose from.

Affordable

While an oxygen cylinder comes with a lower upfront cost, an oxygen machine for home use can save you more money (from refilling or changing out tanks) in the long run. It’s also a lot less expensive than portable concentrators.

How to Choose the Best Oxygen Machine for Home Use: Recommendations from RespShop Experts

To help you easily pick from our selection, we listed key factors to consider before buying a home use oxygen generator online:

Size and Weight

When you choose a compact stationary concentrator (weighing less than the standard 50 lbs) or/and one with wheels, moving it from one room to another will be a lot easier.

Noise Level

Buying a concentrator that produces less than 50 dBA (equivalent to the humming of a refrigerator) will make a huge difference to your sleep.

Power Consumption

Worrying about high energy bills? Make sure to check the oxygen machine’s energy usage, which ranges from 100W to 350W for 5-liter concentrators and 585W to 700W for 10-liter models.

Easy Maintenance

Some concentrators have filters that need to be cleaned weekly, while others don’t.

Price and Warranty

An oxygen generator for home costs between $600 to $2,500. To make sure that what you’re getting is truly the most cost-effective option, don’t forget to check and compare warranties.

Why is Regular Maintenance of Home Use Oxygen Generators Important?

When you use an oxygen generator for home, there are several things you need to maintain regularly – from your nasal cannula and the exterior of your concentrator to your humidifier bottle and filters.

But what’s the point of sticking to a cleaning routine?

• Optimal performance and longer life: Just like any other equipment, an oxygen machine for home work better and last longer with proper care.
• Lower risk of infection: By regularly cleaning your oxygen machine and supplies, you can protect yourself from disease-causing microbes and harmful particles.
• Comfort: Water droplets leaking through your nasal cannula, dust irritating your airways – these are just a few examples of how infrequent upkeep can affect your home oxygen therapy.
