My shortness of breath came on very rapidly. It was a side effect of immunotherapy and a paralyzed left diaphragm caused by a since shrunken tumor which impinged upon the phrenic nerve, the one that controls the diaphragm. I was a naive patient when a pulmonologist prescribed supplementary at home oxygen. I thought if I could cut the tether between me and my home oxygen concentrator I could go back to activities I had only too recently enjoyed such as hiking, biking and skiing. So I bought an Inogen 5, back pack and all. Those activities were no more possible with Inogen than without. Inogen is capable of little more than comfort at rest—DOING NOTHING—which is the goal conventional at home oxygen. Unless one is lucky enough to medically improve the fundamental pulmonary problem, Inogen is not going to get the job done. I do find my Inogen handy for travel, car trips to the doctor and time spent waiting for doctors.

I really like my inogen but it's a little heavier then I was expecting.

The Energen unit works very well the batteries last for a good long bit the backpack though needs some rethinking because you have to completely remove the unit in order to charge it

Stop asking me to review the product. John

I love the weight of the machine but each battery only last 1:45-2:00 hrs. For the amount we paid, I thought they would last longer. Disappointed in that.

your case for the concentrator is ridiculously small. I can't even get it on the machine.

my Inogen 5 keeps turning off at unexpected times, I called them and they told me I needed a coloum, so I bought one, still does the same thing, sent me a new unit, still did the same thing, now they tell me it is the batteries, I bought the extra life time warranty and they keep guessing as to what is wrong with it. Batteries are 350.00 that is an expensive guess. I have tried three different things that they said were wrong. terrible company as I paid cash for warranty and product. now what buy a new battery, they also said they never heard of this happening. I just saw a post saying the same thing, shut's off when at the gym.

I hate the small batteries. They dont last as promiced. I cant even get to the dr and back home again with oxygen. They barely make 2 hours so to go to dinner or dr or grocery store you need to liad up on batteries and stop to change as you enjoy a day out. Not worth the money spent. I love the weight and portablility i ordered a back pack off line which frees up my movement. The shoulder carrier that comes with it for the money is worthless as it has no room for your batteries or phone. At this point i would not recommend for all those reasons. To much money for the time lasting and ability to carry what you need for an outing
