This may be a godsend for oxygen users but the customer service for Inogen and unreliability if you have trouble with your unit is deplorable. Long story short Unit needed to be replaced took over a week and numerous phone calls replacement was not put together properly (a screw was not flush and the battery could not snap in) not a major problem but it needed a special tork wrench to fix. Bottom line When you NEED the Inogen to use for work EVERY day a week is WAY to long to wait for replacement service!!!

Waiting for RMA for a week.

Worse customer service and equipment delivery ever. Been two weeks trying to get G2 unit as it is their only portable that goes up to six. Sent 3 faulty units back. We need it ASAP but they don’t care if their dying customer gets to the doctor or not l!!!!!!!!!! I think they are going out of business.

I purchased an Inogen G4 O2 Concentrator product in June. It failed on July 2nd. After calling customer support, I was promised an overnight shipment to replace the unit. The next day came and went with no replacement. Upon calling a second time, I was promised an expedited delivery Friday, July 5th after the July 4th holiday. When that failed to happen, I called again and was promised a special Saturday UPS delivery. When there was no such delivery, I called and was told the problem resided with UPS. They were allegedly backed up due to the July 4th holiday and that they would have the backlog cleared byTuesday( July 10th.) When the replacement didn’t arrive Monday, I called your customer support again. I was told that the replacement had not shipped as yet and that it could be another 4 days. I was invited to call back tomorrow and each day to see if shipment has taken place. I was assured that it would ship from Richardson, TX Next Day shipping. (Inogen should be issuing UPS tracking numbers as well. This would do well for the client as well cutting back on customer support calls.) How can this be happening. This situation involves oxygen, something a client critically needs. I personally am in Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer. When I become short of breath, my only alternative is to take a seat or lay down and gasp for air until the shortage subsides. What about your clients who require even more and can only recover with the aid of oxygen? It’s one thing to be late shipping a toaster but how can Inogen conscience shipping oxygen products late. In conclusion I still await my O2 Concentrator replacement as of this writing. Therefore, I am requesting a complete refund of my G4 O2 Concentrator. I am forced to deal with another Oxygen company. They will ship overnight. Inogen leaves me with no alternative. I have lost all confidence in Inogen’s quality, service and integrity. My purchase date and unit failure date are well within the 30 day satisfaction period. William G Conover and Yung J Conover PS. I also wanted to mention that during this week of failed commitments there was not a single call from Inogen to explain the situation or check on client. Additionally, I never heard “we are so sorry about this” from any of your staff with exception of your customer service manager.

And the Inogen reliability saga continues. I filled a review a day ago and this morning 7/8/2019 I called Ninogen again to check if there are any news about shipping two replacement units for failed units I have. These unites are under warranty. Here are some news: The representative, eloquent and cordial, asked me to perform a “hard reset”, I.e. remove the battery, connect to the external Inogen converter, start the unit and check if the failure still exist.....it did!! I asked for specific shipping date for the replacement units, she could not give me and stated that they have a backlog which is expected to be resolve within a week. I asked if they are shipping NEW units for paying customers.....she said yes. They are shipped NEW units within 24 hours. So I can only conclude that Inogen priorities are on increasing revenue through new sale as oppose to maintaining customers who depend on their equipment. I sent a similar critical review to Inogen Blog and await to see if they post it. It is the customer (you, me and many more of us) and/or shareholders who can affect Inogen’s product quality and response time. If the CEO, other board members or their own legal department advises them that a change is required due to exposure....they will respond in a hurry. 7/8/2019 Inogen is “reaching out” late afternoon. Received a call from Inogen, noting that I filed a customer response on their blog, which stated the above. The lady was cordial and stated that both repair and new units are backlogged (I.e the representative this morning was incorrect) nevertheless, she can’t provide me with shipping date or any other information. When I suggested that the CEO should be made aware of the issue, she stated/implied that he is. I hope to attend the next shareholders meeting and have a better understanding of the issues Inogen is facing with respect to the G3.

I have had this machine for over a year. I bought it from Kelly. I paid for extra tubing and extra battery. It cost me over 4 thousand dollars. When I received it I had no instructions on how to use it. No extra battery, no caring case, no oxygen cart and the most importantly, no tubing. It took me three weeks to straighten this out. It was suppose to be light weight and it's heavy. I finally received my tubing and they gave me two extra tubing for my inconvenience. Bad customer service, horrible supervisor and lie after lie. My machine goes up two 6 liters, i normally use 3,4 and 5 liters.I have two 4 hour batterys and I'm lucky if 2 batterys give me 4 hrs. I can't change the battery out. My Daughter has to. So complicated. And beware if you fly the Airport has all kinds of paperwork that your Doctor has to fill out. I missed 2 flights over not being made aware of this. I breathe very light and night and I get enough oxygen at night. I say don't buy it and stick with the tanks. Medicare does not cover this machine. Replaceable tubing is expensive. I'm in the Hospital a lot and placed on Hospital oxygen and I always ask if I can take that tubing home. Really I paid for it. I'm thinking about switching to continues oxygen. I think I'll breathe better. Read reviews before you buy. Also limited warranty for a very expensive machine. Also runs hot. Not happy. The medical advances have great portable oxygen today and insurance will pay for it.

This is a star for the oxygen concentrator, not Inogen's customer service. Customer service gets a -5 stars (that's NEGATIVE 5 stars) for not having the ability to connect me with someone in accounting to talk about the check Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield sent you. Back in January I paid Inogen, through an Inogen representative, April Branch, $2,695.00 cash/debit. Now, I have been trying to get reimbursed because BC/BS insurance sent Inogen a check for the full amount and I am owed the $2,695.00 from Inogen, minus $12.66 for my co-pay. Please contact me in order to take care of this or I am going to take care of this by reporting Inogen NEGLECTFUL, and by contacting the BBB. These aren't threats, this is simply what I'm going to do. Now, the ball is in your court.

Save your money.... I did not have a perscription which you need to get machine. The 1st one lasted less than a year and stopped 45 minutes from my house with my 93 year old mom with me. I was over 2 hours without oxygen and I am on 24/7. After numerous phone calls and getting very stressed out they decided to send me another machine. Less than a week later the replace column light came on.Columns were sent - this machine was a previous owned by the way with 259 hours on it. Less than 14 days total machine quit..... Done Gone. They have now informed me that I should have never gotten the machine to begin with I didn't have a doctors order. Thank you very much for me getting stressed out as much as one can and do not need to be. Don't buy. Save your money.
