Thank you for the information. I use about 2.5-3L. Unfortunately my insurance company only authorizes delivery of O2 to a travel site once a year so that limits my travel. What to do?

AdrienneAssuming you use oxygen for sleep, the only portable concentrator thatis usable for sleep is the Sequal Eclipse. I don't know your oxygen flowso don't know your other needs.As a user of liquid oxygen, you have a couple more alternatives. One isto have a reservoir delivered where you're going. The other is to have areservoir brought and put in your car before the trip.>> I am interested in getting a portable concentrator because it wouldfree me up to travel. I often take trips that require an overnight stayand my Helios does not last more than one day. Does anyone haverecommendations?> Thank

you.>

Bruce,

I agree somewhat but the new inverters really do have a fairly low amperage draw. I feel most vehicles today would handle a 1000w inverter 1200W. I was really surprised that my concentrator does not draw all that much. My provider said they use the 750 watt all day off and on for testing units in the field. He even felt if I could not afford the larger one the 750 would actually be fine. I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry. They do have an automatic shut off if anything overheats or is not running properly. We used ours at Christmas going to Ohio and I was extremely pleased.
