Inogen Rove 4 vs Rove 6

Portable Oxygen Concentrator Comparison

Inogen Rove 4 vs. Rove 6: Which Portable Oxygen Concentrator Is Right for You?

Both are lightweight, FAA-approved, pulse-dose concentrators from Inogen. The decision comes down to three specifications: weight, battery life, and oxygen output.

4
Rove 4 is the lightest at 2.9 lbs with 4 flow settings. Choose it when portability matters most and your prescribed setting is 1 to 4.
6
Rove 6 delivers the most oxygen (6 settings) and the longest battery (up to 12 hrs 45 min). Choose it for higher settings or long days out.

Your questions, answered

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Do I need a prescription?
Yes, and we make it easy. Oxygen concentrators need a prescription by law. If you do not have a copy handy, we will contact your doctor's office and help get it for you.
Will Medicare or insurance help pay?
Usually these are bought directly, not through Medicare. We will be honest about that. The good news: you can use FSA or HSA dollars, and we offer easy monthly financing. A specialist will explain your options in a quick call.
Is it hard to use?
No. You turn it on and breathe. The buttons are large and simple. We set it up and walk you through it, and we are one phone call away if you ever have a question.
Is it too heavy to carry?
No. The Rove 4 weighs 2.9 lbs and the Rove 6 weighs 4.8 lbs with the standard battery. Both are carried on the shoulder with the included bag.
Can I fly with it?
Yes. Both the Rove 4 and Rove 6 are FAA-accepted for airplanes. Airlines have their own notice and battery rules, and we will tell you exactly what to bring.
How long does the battery last?
The Rove 4 lasts up to about 6 hours; the Rove 6 up to about 12.75 hours on the extended battery. Times depend on your setting. Many people carry a spare battery for longer days, and we can include one.
Is it loud?
No. At setting 2 the Rove runs at about 39 dBA - quieter than normal conversation. It will not interfere with TV, talking, or sleep.
Are these brand-new, genuine, and from a safe company?
Yes. We are an authorized Inogen dealer. Every unit is brand-new, factory-sealed, FDA-cleared, with a genuine U.S. serial number and the full manufacturer warranty. We never sell used or refurbished units as new.
What if it breaks?
You are covered by the manufacturer warranty (3 years, with lifetime options). If anything goes wrong, call us and a real U.S.-based specialist will take care of it.
What if I find it cheaper somewhere else?
We will match it. We back every unit with a best-price guarantee on authorized pricing, and we have phone-only offers we cannot post online, so it is always worth a quick call first.
Is pulse dose enough, or do I need continuous flow?
Both Rove units give pulse-dose oxygen - a puff each time you breathe in - which suits many daytime and active users. If your prescription calls for continuous flow, we carry those too. One call and we will match what your doctor ordered.
Can I talk to a real person?
Always, with no pressure. Call (712) 435-1306 and a friendly, U.S.-based oxygen specialist will help you choose. No scripts, no rush.
