I was having problems with an oxygen generator from a different company. I explained my situation and Rex gave me excellent information to help me decide on which machine would fit my needs the best. I purchased a Caire Freestyle Comfort and it has worked perfectly since it arrived. Rex answered all my follow up questions and I am completely satisfied with my experience.

CAIRE SeQual Eclipse 5: Most Powerful
The CAIRE Eclipse 5 is the most powerful and versatile oxygen concentrator with 1-9 pulse dose settings. Perfect for those who need a precise dosage, the Eclipse 5 offers 0.5 – 3 liters per minute (LPM) on continuous flow. The device uses CAIRE’s autoSAT technology, which helps users maintain the same amount of oxygen consistently, even as breath rate changes. The Eclipse 5 comes with a slim, light cart with wheels that make it easy to maneuver and can be folded down for transport. The Eclipse 5 is easy to transport via car, thanks to the small and powerful AC and DC adapters that allow the concentrator to function while charging and is an ideal all-around solution.
We have an Eclipse 5 and use it for both stand-alone day/night needs, as well as trips outside (whether just getting mail from the box, or going on a 3-hour ride in the car). It’s a powerful game changer and gives us control over how and where oxygen is reliably available. We love the Eclipse 5!

Amusing imogen and for the most part am very happy with it. I have upgraded x 1 to get longer use time for the plane trip and lighter weight. Still have problems with the weight, and can’t believe they haven’t come up with a unit that weighs 2 to 3 lbs. Maybe using lighter weight case or metals. When your old (83) and debilitating with back pain, using a walker, weight is very important. Thanks

It’s great to hear that you’re happy with it overall, but we completely understand your concern about the weight—especially when mobility and back pain are factors.
