In a world where everything keeps getting more expensive, and portable concentrators seem to the be the next big thing, you may stop and think:Do I need to use oxygen cylinders?

At first it might seem daunting, but let me give you an analogy that can help explain why its got a big pay off. Imagine you had to eat out for every meal. Youd be stuck paying quite a bit of money for your food, and you wouldnt have any control of when you could eat(is the restaurant open 24/7?)or whats in
