Are you in search of a top-of-the-line, versatile, portable oxygen concentrator? 

The Inogen ROVE 6 Oxygen Concentrator updates their popular ROVE 5 model, combining lightweight portability and dependable performance to ensure you always have convenient access to your oxygen therapy at home or on the go.

In this product spotlight, we delve into the design, performance, added features, and accessories of the Rove 6. 

We aim to assist you in making an educated decision about whether this next-generation concentrator is the perfect fit for you.

Product Design & Size

Building on its pedigree for unparalleled portability and convenience, the Inogen Rove 6 sets a new standard. 

Here are the essential details regarding its design and dimensions:

• Weight: The ROVE 6 tips the scale at 2.2 kilograms (4.8 lbs.) with a single battery and 2.6 kilograms (5.8 lbs.) with an extended-life battery. This device maintains the lightness that Inogen is famous for.
• Dimensions: The ROVE 6 measures 18.3 cm in length, 8.3 cm in width, and 20.5 cm in height when equipped with a single battery. The dimensions make it incredibly portable and easy to carry in its custom case.
  
  The compact rectangular shape allows it to fit nicely into its custom carrying case—though more elaborate cases are available as additional accessories (more on these options later.)

The Inogen ROVE 6 has simple, intuitive controls that make it easy to operate. 

The control panel includes:

• An on/off power button
• A display screen that shows the selected flow setting, battery life remaining, and other status information
• Plus and minus buttons to adjust the flow setting up or down from 1 to 6
• An alarm indicator light that flashes if any issues are detected
• A purity indicator light that blinks if oxygen purity drops below normal levels

The display screen and indicator lights provide easy visibility for everything you need to know about flow settings and device performance—and that doesn’t account for the mobile app either (more on that in the features section.)

New features added since the release of the ROVE 5 include a louder speaker for alarms and a revamped cannula barb for easier on/off connections, enhancing the user interface further.

Overall, the ROVE 6 strikes a fantastic balance of easy operation, compact size, and convenient portability while addressing users’ quality-of-life concerns with the ROVE 5.

  If you have any questions about whether this concentrator can meet your prescription needs, don’t hesitate to reach out, and we’d be happy to provide more details based on your specific requirements.
• Charge Time: A full recharge takes around 4 hours for the single battery or 8 hours for the double battery. However, with the external charger, you can easily keep multiple batteries ready to ensure you’re never low on power.
• Noise Level: Operating at 39 dB on setting 2, the ROVE 6 offers a near-silent experience that won’t interfere with conversations or a good night’s sleep.
• Oxygen Concentration: The ROVE 6 removes nitrogen from room air and delivers 90-96% oxygen, helping ensure optimal oxygenation.
• Reliability: Engineered with robust and enduring parts, the ROVE 6 is designed for years of dependable performance. On average, the columns have a lifespan of 2-5 years before requiring a replacement. A robust warranty is also available, which we will cover in a separate section later.

Boasting an ideal blend of personalization, extended battery life, quiet functioning, and robust reliability, the ROVE 6 defines what top-tier performance in a portable oxygen concentrator should be.
