Respiro 270 vs OHS Oxy-Air 36

Two soft chambers, $210 apart. Here is which one to buy, and for whom.

Short answer

The Respiro 270 wins, 8.9/10 against 8.7/10, mostly on fda status stated by the brand and warranty; the OHS Oxy-Air 36 hits back on stated safety features. Pick the Respiro 270 for an OxyHealth chamber, with its five-year warranty, at about half the Vitaeris price. Pick the OHS Oxy-Air 36 for an all-in-one soft chamber under $10,000 with the oxygen system included.
