I am on 2
Lpm and use portable oxygen with an M-6 cylinder. Until about 6 months
ago I carried my portable oxygen over my shoulder. When that became
difficult I purchased a rolling backpack, which I used until I received
the Handi-Air Tote. Here are my comments after two weeks using the
Handi-Air.
It carries a
single cylinder better (than the rolling backpack). I can tie it down so
it doesn't shift about in the bag and tie it in a diagonal position so
the weight is distributed evenly. It carries two M-6 cylinders well,
although that's a bit much for me to carry or pull. The extra pockets
help me organize the other things I carry, so I don't have to put them
where the cylinder will roll over them. I can quickly open and look at
the contents gauge when I need to.
The handle
doesn't retract under pressure, so I can lean on it when I stop to rest.
The rubberize tires make less noise on hardware floors than do the
plastic ones on my rolling backpack.
The biggest
benefit of the Handi-Air over the rolling backpack is that I can lift it
from the passenger's seat in my car, bring it across my body, and set it
on the ground outside the driver's door with little difficulty. When I
was using the rolling backpack, I had to disconnect from my oxygen, walk
around to the passenger's door and reconnect to my oxygen. That walk
without oxygen was not fun. Now, that I have the Handi-Air that walk is
a walk I no longer have to do. My only question is about the dual tires. I wonder why. Stones get caught between them and I find it more difficult to make sharp turns.
