I am looking to buy a portable oxygen concentrator on-line. Can anyone tell me about a safe and reliable company i can purchase from.

I notice you are in Canada, are you wanting to buy in the US or Canada? Also, if you are planning on using it to fly, make sure you check with your airline as to which are approved. We are using the Evergo for our sons trip in March.

A bit of caution is needed; the FAA creates the list of oxygen concentrators that are approved for use in flight, and not every airline consistently updates their list to match (although they should). The most recent FAA notice can be found at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-16925.pdf.

I have done all my research pertaining to the airlines and also talked to a real human at Southwest. I am now researching for a reputable supplier in the US. The reason i am looking in the US is in Canada they want twice the price. Thanks in advance.

I know of a place, but they only carry certain ones. Which one/s did you have in mind?

Out of curiosity, what price quote do you have for the Evergo?? We just got a quote from our local company to submit to Extended Health. It is $3900 Canadian.

I have got 2 quotes in Can. funds 4200.00 and 4900.00. On-line i have got quotes of 2400.00 to 2900.00 in US funds. One thing i learned early is to check all companies through the Better Business Bureau. Very easy to do on-line.
