A complete factory rebuild is under $150, so I'm not sure I would buy an extended warranty unless it was cheap. 
On the units I've tried, I haven't had a purity issue. I'm getting two of the M-20's and I will be running at about 80%. As with all concentrators, the purity goes down the closer you get to running at 100%. The M-10 putting out 10LPM at 10 PSI for under $600 brand spanking new is awesome. That's like 2 regular concentrators. The M-20 puting out 10 LPM at 20 PSI for under $900 is friggin awesome! I hope they work like they should. The company seems to be on the up and up. I saw them at a show and while they are new to this, they seem to be in it for the long haul and really concerned about putting out quality units. I'll be a guinea pig at that price.  |
You keep saying that these are new units. I asked this in an other thread:
Are you sure? I remember when we debuted these machines at the Gathering and I was excited about them, especially the price. At first, I was unclear as to whether these units were new or reconditioned. Paulette, from Suncoast, pointed out to me the cost of a new unit, and it was right there with the OGSI and Integra medical units. We asked the company (So. Central Cryo - Jerry Butler was the contact at the time - now he is with OGSI) and were told that they were reconditioned. That would make sense, given the price.
Here are a few new ones that I found:

I guess that with a great warranty, it might not matter whether the unit is new or reconditioned (unless, of course, they are DOA and you have to send them back to be replaced... that would be a huge hassle). If I were buying one from somebody, I would like for it to be represented to me honestly
and accurately. BTW, I believe that you really
believe these are new.
