Oxycon USER REVIEWS Wanted

[bbnana]

LE oxycon users are needed to submit reviews. The results of all reviews are immediately and automatically posted to a database which is viewable to all who wish to see them.

Submit your review (http://www.kewlflames.com)

Read the reviews (http://www.kewlflames.com/review-results.htm)

The vast number of threads about oxycons tend to get off topic more than not and the information many are seeking seems to get lost among it all. I have seen many requests and wishes for one place to read only reviews by end-users of oxycons to help them make an informed decision for such a large purchase. In an effort to give back to the LE community, I have created a website with a form for oxycon users to submit their personal review. The results are viewable by anyone at anytime.

I ask and invite all oxycon users to help out your fellow LE members by submitting your review.

I wish to thank Pam Dugger for submitting the first oxycon user review. Thanks Pam!

I also wish to add that I have no affiliation to, nor do I promote, any oxycon manufacturer, distributor or vendor. I don't have a so called "dog in the fight". I, like many others out there, just want to buy an oxycon and would like to read reviews before laying out $$$$.

I hope that many oxycon users will participate and that potential oxycon users will find the reviews helpful.

Great idea! I think this could be very helpful for peeps!

Thanks but I can't take credit for the idea. I agree, but there will be (read: are) those that disagree strongly.

Theresa, there is never going to be an issue that everyone agrees on. I think what you are doing is great and it is one step to clarifying the oxycon selection problem. Thank you again for doing this.

[bbnana]

Yep, I know. You're very welcome!

Theresa -

This is a wonderful source for people looking at buying an oxy con. Thanks for taking the time to do this!!!

I just did the survey, but realized afterward that maybe I should have noted that I use 2 m-15's for my cheetah. I was concerned that a newbie might think one m-15 would be great for boro on a cheetah and I didn't want to be misleading. Sorry about that.

Hi Susan! You're welcome and thanks for participating! I guess I should add the question about the number of oxycons used as part of the form.

Great idea! I have 2 concentrators (different models) and reviewed them both.

Thanks Kathy!

Tee - I just filled out a review on mine. I checked "other" for Warranty only because I can't remember what the warranty is. If you want me to find out & let you know so the database is up to date, let me know!

Thanks! If you PM me when you get a chance to get the warranty info, I will update your review.

Okay, now I'm curious. I thought the Unlimited Oxygen concentrators were used machines that were refurbished. Am I wrong about that, or is it new because it has been refurbished?

[bbnana]

Good question!

[KathyDinBC]

I used 'used' for refurbished. I didn't buy my concentrators from other beadmakers, but since they were retired medical equipment, I considered them used.

[bbnana]

In my opinion, "New" means that the unit was never used in any way by any other person except for testing by the factory. If a unit was used by another person for medical or any other use, then refurbished and re-sold by anyone, I still consider that a "used" unit.

Theresa, this is a great thing you're doing. You might want to mention it in the family room or bathroom too, since they are higher traffic areas.

Will do!

Great idea!

I put down 'new' for my M15... refurbished with a new warranty I thought should be new. I bought my Integra 10 'used', it came with no warranty at all.

If we call refurbished 'new' then how do you differentiate warranty and non-warranteed 2nd party/3rd party units??

For what it's worth, my $700 UO M15 is close to the power of my $1400 Sequal Integra 10 (I did not pay $1400, but it's in new condition and never used by previous owner), and less noisy, for a bobcat or lynx. 2 M15's has to be more oxy than 1 Integra 10 (same as Regalia) unless they are not working correctly.

For a larger torch, I'll have to see if the output is still similar, since I intend to use each to power inner and outer for a phantom, so I'll be drawing more. When working with soft glass, I turn the Integra down between 2-4 lpm anyway... or the glass and mandrel gloops to my table top in 10 secs or less:P.

Theresa, can you add a choice - new, used and refurbished - if you think it's necessary?

Done!

You are a miracle worker!

Just wanted to say again ....Thank you, and Great Job!! :grin:

[parisgal]

Thank you *so* much for doing this. It is so very helpful, I've been thinking about changing for the better part of a year, but always got stuck / sidetracked in the threads!
