Freedom With the Inogen One G4

Before I heard the news that my oxygen needed to be supplemented, I was an independent person. Finding out that I needed to be strapped to an oxygen tank wherever I went was frustrating. I also have back problems and lifting those heavy tanks in and out of my car was exacerbating the problems. Wherever I went, my time away from home was limited by the amount of oxygen in that tank. One day while watching television a commercial came on for the Inogen One. It sounded almost too good to be true. A small oxygen concentrator operated by rechargeable batteries that could be charged while driving my car or anywhere there was a cigarette lighter, two pin outlet or a 120V outlet. I wrote down the phone number and after dropping a tank on my foot and breaking my toe, I decided to give them a call. I was delighted to hear that my insurance would help pay for the Inogen One and soon after, obtained the unit. It totally changed my lifestyle. Freedom!The unit came with a small hand cart or a carrying strap. Because of my back problems I opted for the hand cart. I wheeled the Inogen One and its supplies around on it. The bag that came with it had two pouches. One carried supplies for the concentrator and the other soon became my purse. Everything I needed could be carried around on the hand cart.Anytime I need supplies or have any problems, I can call Inogen and get what I need. The personnel at Inogen have been a delight to work with and are excellent in Customer Care.My neighbor commented one day as I returned home,”boy, you sure get around with that thing”. How true! I’m very happy with my Inogen One.

My first portable oxygen concentrator was not an Inogen, and it failed me once too often just weeks before a scheduled 8 ½ hour flight from Norfolk to San Diego. I had been told that Inogen made the best POC on the market... so I called to inquire about it. When I learned that the Inogen came with a lifetime warranty, I decided to buy it, and I am so happy now that I did. I found the Inogen One G2 to be easy to use, easy to care for and able to get me from coast to coast in an airplane without the need of changing batteries! And it was so quiet that I often checked to make sure the green light that signals that it is working was on! I needed oxygen 24 – 7 during my visit to the beautiful town of Ojai CA, and I pulled my G2 around with me both through the town and up on the top of Meditation Mount outside of Ojai where I went to take photos. Thanks to Inogen, I can now look forward to more visits to California and the Southwest without having to worry about where my next breath is coming from!

The day I was put on oxygen my life changed. Many activities were no longer an option. I felt confined to my home and embarrassed by those awful O2 cylinders. They just didn’t fit my life style. The day my Inogen Concentrator was delivered I got my life back. I can be out shopping for hours, travel on senior bus trips, make long car trips. So many things are now possible. I feel like my old self again. If you want your life back, get an Inogen.

We live in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Friends and family come & visit to see us & the sites. With bottled oxygen on several occasions I ran out of air at Mt. Rushmore &The Buffalo Stampede at Custer St. Park. I carry the extra battery (in my jeepster) & always have ample oxygen to finish the tours. It is a great product. I recommend the Inogen machine to all who need oxygen assistance.

My Inogen One Portable Oxygen Concentrator provided total freedom to travel on our nearly 6,000 mile vacation. We drove over the rockies to elevations of over 10,000 ft., hiked in Yosemite Park, and many other activities. My Inogen One performed very well.
