Don't have a cpap machine but am on oxygen24/7. As a laryngectomy, I can't use the cannula's so have to use the trach mask. Yes, with the oxygen every night, I do sleep much better. got tired of lugging all bottles around whenever I left the house so ordered a portable unit. it should be in this next week
I have a portable unit and love it. Leave it in the car and use bottles when I have to get out of the car. Sure saves on filling bottles at home.
In summer, I strap the concentrator in the buddy seat and use it in the tractor. Thinking of getting a spare portable so I can leave one in the tractor and one in the car. They are supposed to run on 12V, 120V, or lithium battery power. My experience is that the $500 extra cost lithium battery is worthless and would not purchase a battery again. The Eclipse with autoSat portable concentrator cost $1900. $500 extra for a battery.
