Not much going on right now, but I was lucky to buy a brand new ($3,000.00) Invacare Mobile V, a five liter per minute machine that actually kicks out over 7 liters for $380.00 from ebay, the valve mechanism is guaranteed for life, a compressor overhaul kit is available for about $60.00, but they should last about 10,000 hours, my machine had about ten hours on it when I got it, the last one I had that was rented had over 30,000 hours on it so they last a long time, just have to clean the outside filters, and their is one on the inside that should be checked every 1,000 hours or so, if the filters get dirty the air output will decrease, but the unit has an adjustable gauge on the front. This is one of the best medicine sources for knocking out clusters that I have found and now that these are on Ebay, most can afford one, it's great owning my own concentrator, used it about two hours today 4 sessions 1/2 hour long and it nice to know that it is there when you need it, hope some more come on ebay and hope it works as well for you as it does for me.
