Head-to-head
Inogen Rove 4 vs. Inogen Rove 6
Same family, different jobs. The Rove 4 is about as light as portable oxygen gets; the Rove 6 handles higher pulse settings and runs longer.
Quick verdict
Choose the Inogen Rove 4 if…- Your prescription is setting 4 or below
- Weight is the top priority — 2.9 lb with the intermediate battery
- You want something that disappears in a shoulder bag
Choose the Inogen Rove 6 if…- You need settings 5 or 6, or might in the future
- You want longer battery life — 5 hr vs. about 3.5 hr at setting 2
- You’re away from power for long stretches
