Choose oxygen concentrator carefully! Home Use VS Portable Use

Some friends are very excited after seeing the portable oxygen concentrator and want to buy one to replace the home oxygen concentrator. We can compare the differences between the two and provide some reference for friends who have this idea.

🌟Oxygen flow:

The oxygen flow range of the home oxygen concentrator is generally adjustable within 1-10L, which is more suitable for patients with large oxygen flow requirements.

The flow of portable oxygen concentrators is generally small, generally within 1-3L. But our Higreen Health portable oxygen concentrator has a flow rate of up to 7L, which is much higher than most portable oxygen concentrators on the market.

🌟Oxygen concentration:

The oxygen concentration of the home oxygen concentrator can reach up to 93%±3% or more at 1L, and will decrease with the increase of oxygen flow. Higreen Health home oxygen concentrators have made breakthroughs and innovations, and the oxygen flow rate can reach more than 90%±3% at 2L.

The oxygen concentration of the portable oxygen concentrator is claimed to be maintained at more than 93%±3% at the rated flow, but actual measurements show that the oxygen concentration rises very slowly. Some non-adjustable portable oxygen concentrators even have a concentration of only about 40%±3%.

🌟Battery life:

Home oxygen concentrators are generally not equipped with batteries and can only work by plugging into a power source. However, they have high-quality machine accessories and can continuously supply oxygen 24/7.

Portable oxygen concentrators have different battery life depending on the gear. Higreen Health has a 5L portable oxygen concentrator with a battery life of up to 3 hours, which can solve battery life anxiety with an additional removable battery.

🌟Operation noise:

The operating noise of the home oxygen concentrator is less than 45 decibels. If it is placed indoors normally, there will be almost no poor heat dissipation of the body.

The operating noise of the portable oxygen concentrator is about 60 decibels. And because the portable oxygen concentrator uses direct current and is wrapped in a backpack, the heat dissipation is relatively poor, and the machine starts to heat up in about 10 minutes.

🌟Applicable people:

Home oxygen concentrators can be used for daily oxygen therapy or oxygen health care. Patients with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, white-collar workers, students, and beauty lovers can all use them;

Portable oxygen concentrators are suitable for outdoor hiking and plateau travel, driving or walking. People who need oxygen.

🌟Sales price:

The price of home oxygen concentrators is generally cheaper and more affordable for most families;

The price span of portable oxygen concentrators is large. Because of the high R&D cost, the price is also relatively high. Of course, the quality of different prices is also different.

In summary, portable oxygen concentrators and home oxygen concentrators have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although both belong to the category of oxygen concentrators, the actual difference is quite large and cannot be equated. You need to choose carefully before purchasing.
