Default Is this oxycon worth it?!?!?!

Mobilaire V IRC50102 used about 8,000hr for grandmother before she got a new one. Runs 5LPM dude wants $100. He is in need of cash and has proof where it was looked at and checked every month for his grandmother.

Please let me know guys!!! Thanks.

Sounds like a great deal. Check to make sure that it runs and there are no low purity alarms going off.

Assuming it runs OK, I'd say grab it!

I'd have no problem driving an hour for $90. But I don't live near Chicago either.

The Mobilaire is the early model for the Invacare unit. In my opinion both are among the best made. I have seen Mobilaires with 50,000 hours on them. jack

I agree with Jack, those are good, well made machines.

Are you going to use it with a Midrange?

yes i'll be using it on a midrange plus, so I know it will run the minor, working on a second oxycon to run the bigger burner.

You still got an outstanding deal. I would have driven it for that and we have three oxycons already. Well one is going down I think so that would be why I would get another
