How many watts does a home oxygen concentrator use — and what can run it?

Philips Respironics EverFlo stationary concentrator: 350 W average power consumption per Philips. Which power stations and generators cover it, and runtime.

Representative model: Philips Respironics EverFlo (US brochure, 2010). Philips publishes no starting or surge figure for the compressor, so starting_w is not published. Planning figures only — confirm with the device manufacturer before relying on a power station or generator for this device.

The representative model is the Philips Respironics EverFlo, a stationary concentrator with a flow range up to 5 litres per minute. The specification table in Philips' EverFlo brochure gives an average power consumption of 350 W at 120 VAC, 60 Hz. That single published figure fills both the running and the average fields on this page. The brochure is an older document, and other concentrators publish their own figures.

What changes the draw

Philips publishes one average rather than a figure for each flow setting, so this page cannot show how the draw changes with settings. The figure for your unit is on its label or available from its manufacturer. Confirm with the device manufacturer before relying on a power station or generator for this device.

Starting draw: not published

The EverFlo contains a compressor, and Philips publishes no starting or surge figure for it. Because of that, the fit tables check only continuous output against 350 W; they cannot check a station's peak against the start. A pass here means the running figure fits, nothing more. The rule is on the methodology page.

Reading the tables

The page assumes 24 hours of use a day, 8,400 Wh. Because the average and running figures are the same, both runtime columns match. Example: the Jackery HomePower 3000 record has no maker factor, so the default 0.85 applies: 3,072 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 350 W = 7.5 hours.

Power stations that can run it

Pass = continuous output ≥ 350 W. Runtime = capacity × maker's factor ÷ 350 W, nothing else plugged in. Method.

Frequently asked questions

How many watts does a home oxygen concentrator use?
Philips lists an average power consumption of 350 W for the EverFlo in its EverFlo brochure. Other models differ; confirm with the device manufacturer.
Why is there no starting figure?
The EverFlo has a compressor, but Philips publishes no starting or surge figure for it. The fit tables therefore check only the 350 W running figure.
How long can a power station run an oxygen concentrator?
At 350 W, the 768 Wh Bluetti AC70 at the default 0.85 factor gives 768 × 0.85 ÷ 350 = 1.9 hours. These are planning figures only — confirm with the device manufacturer before relying on a power station or generator for this device.
