Portable Oxygen Concentrator And Household Oxygen Concentrator, Which One Should You Choose?

2023-03-24



The biggest advantage of the portable oxygen concentrator is that it is light and portable, but this does not 

mean that it can replace the household oxygen concentrator. The applicable population and characteristics of 

the two are different.

Oxygen flow rate is different

The oxygen flow rate of household oxygen generators is generally 3L/min, 5L/min, and 10L/min. Portable 

oxygen generators are mainly used when going out, and their oxygen flow rate is generally 1L/min.

Applicable people are different

Household oxygen concentrators can be used for daily oxygen therapy or oxygen health care, and can be used 

by patients with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, white-collar workers, student, and beauty lovers.

Portable 

oxygen concentrators are suitable for outdoor hiking and high-altitude travel people, people who need oxygen 

inhalation when driving or walking. In addition, some COPD patients need appropriate exercise during home 

treatment, and breathing training as appropriate. If you are walking outside, portable oxygen concentrators 

can solve the urgent need.

Power supply is different

The household oxygen concentrator is limited to plug-in use. In the case of uninterrupted power supply, it can 

realize continuous oxygen supply for 24 hours * 365 days, and the use time is not affected by the adjustment 

of oxygen flow.

The portable oxygen concentrator is powered by batteries. In the fully charged state, the use time is affected 

by the battery capacity and the use gear. The general battery life is 1-5 hours. The longest battery life of the AERTI 

portable oxygen concentrator is close to 2 hours at the 5 gears. It also supports car charging, which will be more 

convenient when going out.

Applicable scenarios are different

Household oxygen concentrators are large in size and generally weigh more than 10kg. They are mobile through 

universal wheels, but they are not suitable for carrying outside.

The portable oxygen concentrator is small in size and light in weight. AERTI portable oxygen concentrator can 

be held with one hand, weighs only 2.35kg, and can be carried on one shoulder, so it will not be a burden 

to carry when going out.

After reading these, do you know how to choose?

Whether to buy a household oxygen concentrator or a portable oxygen concentrator, we must first consider 

the use needs and scenarios. You can buy a household oxygen concentrator for fixed-point use at home, 

and you can buy a portable oxygen concentrator for outdoor use. If you suffer from respiratory disease or 

cardiovascular disease and need to inhale oxygen, and you often need to go out, then we can buy both at 

the same time.
