Last updated 7 August 2026.\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Broxtal's oxygen concentrators range from around \u00a3209 for an entry-level home unit up to \u00a31,088 for a high-output portable model, with most people paying somewhere in between depending on flow rate, battery life, and purity.<\/strong> There's no NHS prescription needed to buy one, so the number that matters most is the one on the product page, not a vague industry average. This guide breaks down real 2026 prices for portable and home concentrators, what actually drives the cost up or down, and what it costs to run one day to day.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Oxygen Concentrator Prices in the UK: The Full Picture<\/h2>\n<p>Prices vary more than most buyers expect, mainly because \"oxygen concentrator\" covers everything from a 1.5kg travel unit to a continuous-flow home machine built for higher litre-per-minute needs. Here's the current spread across Broxtal's range:<\/p>\n<div class=\"compare-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"compare-table\">\n  <tr><th>Tier<\/th><th>Price range<\/th><th>What you're paying for<\/th><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>High-output \/ continuous flow<\/td><td>\u00a3729 &ndash; \u00a31,088<\/td><td>Higher LPM, continuous flow, longer sessions or higher medical need<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Mid-range portable<\/td><td>\u00a3479 &ndash; \u00a3879<\/td><td>Pulse-dose or adjustable flow, travel-ready, solid battery life<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Entry-level home<\/td><td>\u00a3209 &ndash; \u00a3279<\/td><td>Straightforward continuous flow for use in one room<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"price-note\">Prices correct at time of writing, subject to change, and reflect current live pricing on individual product pages, including any sale pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Notice the top of that range first: a high-output continuous-flow unit at over \u00a31,000 is a genuinely different product to the \u00a3209 entry-level home concentrator most people actually need. Once you know what flow rate and portability you're after, the realistic number for most buyers sits well below that ceiling.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"media-split\">\n  <div class=\"media-img-wrap\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1 \/ 1;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/broxtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/9.webp\" alt=\"Jeamed 5L Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator S1-A, a lightweight portable oxygen concentrator\" style=\"object-fit: contain;\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"media-text\">\n    <p>At the lighter end of the portable range, models like the Jeamed&trade; Mini weigh around 1.5kg and run on a detachable battery, built for travel and daily mobility rather than sitting beside a bed all day.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>How Much Do Portable Oxygen Concentrators Cost?<\/h2>\n<p>Portable concentrators cost more than home units on average, because you're paying for battery capacity and weight engineering on top of the oxygen delivery itself.

If you're mainly using it at home, purity and flow rate matter far more than battery weight, so paying extra for portability you won't use is money that could go toward a higher-output home unit instead.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Is Oxygen Free on the NHS?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, if you're assessed and meet the clinical criteria, most commonly a resting oxygen saturation below 92%, the NHS provides a home oxygen concentrator at no cost. The catch is the referral and assessment process itself, which runs through your GP and a specialist respiratory or Home Oxygen Assessment and Review service, and can take time depending on your local trust. Buying privately means paying the full price upfront, but you skip the wait and choose your own model rather than whatever your regional supplier allocates. For the full breakdown of eligibility, waiting times, and how the two routes compare, see our guide <a href=\"https:\/\/broxtal.com\/oxygen-concentrator-nhs-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kan jeg f\u00e5 en iltkoncentrator gennem det offentlige sundhedsv\u00e6sen (NHS)? Storbritannien 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"callout\">\n  <strong>Putting the cost in context:<\/strong> a private GP consultation in the UK typically runs somewhere between roughly \u00a360 and \u00a3200 depending on the provider and location. An entry-level Broxtal home concentrator at \u00a3209 is broadly comparable to a single private consultation, for a device you keep and use daily rather than a one-off appointment.\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>What Does It Cost to Run an Oxygen Concentrator Per Day?<\/h2>\n<p>Running cost depends on the model's power draw and how many hours a day it's in use, so we can't give you one universal figure with full confidence, but here's a reasonable working estimate. Most portable and small home concentrators draw somewhere in the region of 60 to 150 watts during operation, depending on flow setting. At the current Ofgem price cap electricity rate of 26.11p per kWh (Q3 2026, England, Scotland and Wales, Direct Debit), running a concentrator at that draw for 8 hours a day works out to roughly 13p to 31p per day, or very roughly \u00a34 to \u00a39 a month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"price-note\">This is an estimate based on typical concentrator power draw and the current Ofgem price cap unit rate, not a manufacturer figure for a specific model. Actual running cost depends on your unit's exact wattage, your flow setting, and your electricity tariff, so check your product's power spec and your own tariff for a precise number.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"media-split reverse\">\n  <div class=\"media-img-wrap\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1 \/ 1;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/broxtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Close-up-of-an-oxygen-concentrator-price-tag.png\" alt=\"Close-up of an oxygen concentrator price tag showing UK pricing\" style=\"object-fit: contain;\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"media-text\">\n    <p>Vague pricing is one of the biggest sources of buyer frustration in this category. We list the real, live price on every product page rather than a \"from\" figure that doesn't hold up at checkout.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Cheaper Alternatives: Oxygen Concentrators vs Oxygen Tanks<\/h2>\n<p>An oxygen tank can look cheaper upfront, but that's usually only true at the point of purchase:<\/p>\n<div class=\"compare-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"compare-table\">\n  <tr><th>Faktor<\/th><th>Oxygen concentrator<\/th><th>Iltflaske (cylinder)<\/th><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Startomkostninger<\/td><td>\u00a3209 &ndash; \u00a31,088 one-off<\/td><td>Often lower upfront<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Ongoing cost<\/td><td>Electricity only, no refills<\/td><td>Refill or rental fees, recurring<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Supply<\/td><td>Continuous, powered by mains or battery<\/td><td>Fixed, finite supply, depends on a provider<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Convenience<\/td><td>No scheduled deliveries or swaps<\/td><td>Needs refill or replacement scheduling<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>For anyone using supplemental oxygen regularly rather than occasionally, a concentrator's running cost tends to work out lower over time than repeated tank refills, on top of not being dependent on a supplier's delivery schedule.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"callout\">\n  <strong>What if it breaks?<\/strong> Broxtal's oxygen concentrators come with a manufacturer warranty and UK-based customer support, so a fault isn't an unplanned extra cost on top of the purchase price.
