About Your Portable Oxygen Concentrator
Your Inogen Rove 6 is a compact, lightweight portable oxygen concentrator that gives you the freedom to move about freely — inside your home, outdoors, and while traveling. It can run on AC power (wall outlet), DC power (vehicle outlet), or battery, making it one of the most flexible portable oxygen options available.
At just 4.8 lbs with the standard battery, it is about the size of a paperback book. With the extended battery, you can get up to 12 hours and 45 minutes of use at Flow Setting 1 — so full days away from home are within reach.
Important: Always use the exact flow setting prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not change your flow rate without consulting your doctor or respiratory therapist first.
