Comparison Of Non-Portable Oxygen Concentrators
We tested these oxygen concentrator models independently and compared performance and features. In virtually all tests the Millennium M10 outperformed the other machines. We were impressed by its quietness, appearance, and the ability to fit standard connections. It also appears that the Millennium M10 can deliver over 10 Liters per minute, making it ideal for situations which require higher amounts of oxygen. Although this model costs a little more than the other models, we feel that the extra features make it well worth it.
Although not as good as the Millennium M10, we were satisfied with the performance of the other models. All models were quiet and were similar in size.
Before purchasing an oxygen concentrator, consult a physician to find out which one is right for you.
