0 stars is not a provided choice. I've had Inogen machines since 2018 and they have always been reliable. I am on Medicare with supplemental insurance. In the past, when the machines failed, they were replaced with the same model made by Inogen. A week ago, my floor model. which I use to breathe while sleeping, began beeping. I called Inogen the next morning. They quickly decided to replace the machine. The machine was replaced with a machine that is twice as big, twice as heavy and at least twice as loud. It also retails for $750 as opposed to the nice Inogen brand I had been using for 5 years, which retails for more than $1600. One of the many support reps I spoke to suggested we try another machine because the first may had been damaged in transit. He acknowledged that he heard my complaint before. I am now using my second "replacement" machine. I tried to speak to a supervisor. I did receive a voice mail from a supervisor who left a very terse message stating that there are no Inogen machines available. I called Inogen again and asked for the supervisor to call me again so that I could speak personally. She did not call. I now have a monster of a machine in my bedroom that is so loud that I have it behind a stuffed chair 9 feet from my bed in an effort to muffle the sound and stifle the vibration. When I can no longer deal with the intense sound and vibrations, I breathe with my portable, which does not provide the continuous flow that my medical issue requires at night. I would like to have an Inogen machine like I have had for years. I lie awake at night with the loud noise and vibration coming from that machine. This is not the way customers should be treated. If I can breathe, I cannot sleep. If I can sleep, I cannot breathe. Like many other businesses, the customer is becoming increasingly less important. I'd appreciate some suggestions from Inogen. Now that they have my original machine, why not fix it and send it back to me? Inogen left a cookie cutter reply to the above, saying that I should contact customer support so that things could be made right with my Inogen unit. The whole point of my complaint is that after years with Inogen, I no longer have an Inogen unit. And no one at Inogen has been able to help me in that regard. Again, my Inogen machine started to beep, I sent it in as instructed, and was given an inferior machine in return, a machine that has a decibel rating twice as high as the Inogen. Inogen’s response to me is meaningless. I must have spoken to half the staff in customer support and still have a non Inogen machine.
