Why Rent a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?

Many people who need to use portable oxygen concentrators find they don’t necessarily have the capital required to purchase one, but they might not be aware that renting an oxygen concentrator is an option.  Pure O2 is a specialist supplier of oxygen concentrators. In fact, as our name suggests, we purely concentrate on supplying O₂ to help patients with chronic respiratory disorders.  Renting an oxygen concentrator is easy to organise with our team of friendly experts who will take the time to listen to your situation and answer all your questions.  There are a number of reasons why some people select renting rather than buying an oxygen concentrator.

Why choose renting an oxygen concentrator

As we have already mentioned above, a key decider in choosing to rent an oxygen concentrator rather than buying one is to do with budgets.  Not everyone’s purse stretches to a one-off payment to secure ownership of an oxygen concentrator. 

How renting an oxygen concentrator can help with your purchase decision

However, there are other reasons why renting might suit you or the person for whom you care.  Many COPD sufferers come to us at Pure O2 looking for an alternative portable oxygen concentrator to those offered by the NHS.  People tell us that our portable oxygen concentrators are much more portable and lighter and generally easier to manage than what they have experienced before.  This generally gives people more freedom and mobility.  The difficult decision can be deciding which portable oxygen concentrator to use.  Whilst our trusted team of experienced advisors will help you to narrow the options to suit your individual requirements, sometimes the best thing is to rent a machine to try it for yourself.  So that is exactly what some people choose to do – they opt for renting an oxygen concentrator to help decide which one to buy.

Renting an oxygen concentrator for short term use

Another reason when renting an oxygen concentrator is a good choice, is when you need to use an oxygen concentrator on holiday.  Many COPD sufferers select Pure O2 for renting a portable oxygen concentrator either for themselves or another family member, so they have peace of mind and free breathing whilst they are away from home.  Here is what some of them have to say about their holiday rental experience of our oxygen concentrators:

“Rented an Air-Sep Freestyle for my UK holiday – excellent service from Pure O² from start to finish – thanks for helping me make the most of my holiday.”

“…we had a great time over there and the machine works very very well, it’s so handy for my husband and very comfortable. Thanks once again for the help.  We’re looking forward to using you on our next trip.”
