Default DeVilbiss or Invacare?

I am thinking of getting an oxygen generator and have kind of narrowed my choices down to either a DeVilbiss or Invacare.

The torch I use is a Bobcat.

Would appreciate any feedback to help me make my choice.

Thank you!

The very first oxycon I had way back when was a DeVilbiss. It was a real workhorse - kinda like the energizer bunny - it kept going and going and going. When I switched to the generator, it was still running beautifully. I used it with a minor alone and then hooked together with another oxycon. Worked great.

We've been using a pair of Invacare's. Had them for over 3 years now and they have been working just fine. I'm using a Barracuda with no problems.

Either one would be fine with a Bobcat. If you ever plan on moving up to a Lynx, you might like the DeVilbiss better.

Thank you all for the feedback! I'm quite set on the DeVilbiss but have to check out how to convert the voltage ,wattage etc without compromising the function. Kimberly has kindly referred me to a distributor for Regalias in Japan which sells units that come in 220V and 50Hz. Only thing about Regalias is that they are super expensive. So.......have to think about this.....

It all depends on how much you have to spend on a frequency converter as to which option is more expensive.
