A lightweight, long-lasting, and easy-to-carry portable oxygen concentrator, the Philips Respironics SimplyGo Mini truly allows its users to “simply go” anywhere they want to go. It is the smallest and lightest mobile oxygen machine within the Philips Respironics line, and with just the standard battery, this powerful machine can last up to 4.5 hours. With the extended battery, the SimplyGo Mini will stay powered for up to nine hours—enough to last a whole day without worrying about the next charge or your oxygen supply.
SimplyGo Mini Appearance
The SimplyGo Mini is slim and simple, making it a perfect on-the-go oxygen machine without being obtrusive in size and appearance. It measures 9.4 inches high by 8.3 inches wide and 3.6 inches deep with the standard battery; the extended battery—which doubles the length of time that the machine can be powered on—adds a little under one inch of height. This compact size makes it ideal for bringing to work or to use while traveling or simply running errands.
The rounded edges on the sleek white casing soften the look of the machine, and the simple design makes it a much less conspicuous oxygen concentrator; the name is printed in modest relatively small type on the front. The battery eject button, which is easy to use and makes swapping out batteries a snap, is a pleasant green and adds a simple touch of color. The LCD touchscreen, located at the top of the machine, provides easy access to the simple controls.
- Truly portable at only 5 pounds with the standard battery
- Lasts up to 9 hours with the extended battery
- Five different flow settings
- Smallest and lightest Philips portable oxygen concentrator
- Includes the SimplyGo Mini unit, battery, AC/DC adapters, custom carrying case, shoulder strap, handle strap, accessory bag, cannula and manual.
SimplyGo Mini Portability:
Dimensions: 8.3″ Wide x 3.6″ Deep x 9.4″ High (with standard battery)
Weight: 5 pounds with single battery, 6 pounds with extended battery
Battery Life: Up to 4.5 hours with standard battery and up to 9 hours with extended battery on setting 2
Thanks to its long battery life and small size, the SimplyGo Mini is a great oxygen concentrator for traveling. Not only does the machine come with a comfortable yet stylish chocolate brown carrying case and shoulder strap, the machine’s accessory bag truly offers a chance to move around burden-free. The unit’s handy accessory bag slips on like a backpack and frees up both hands.
I can go out shopping with confidence.
I received the Philips Simply Go Mini and it lasts 9 hours as I have the extended battery. I put it in the basket under my walker and have no anxiety as I know I am good to go with this portable oxygen tank. Mine is on a pulse whiich means it only gives me oxygen when I breath in so that is a good thing. I also allows me to travel with my husband in his car as it has a car recharable outlet.
Review by Catherine
The SimplyGo Mini oxygen concentrator is approved by the FAA, which means you can take it on your travels no matter where you go on a place. The unit was built with portability in mind and was tested rigorously to ensure it can withstand bumps, falls, impacts, vibrations, and temperature changes—ideal for traveling.
Coupled with its innovative backpack-style accessory bag, patients can feel freer and more independent to do what they would like to do and go where they would like to go—even if it’s on a long plane ride or road trip, and with an extended battery that can last up to 9 hours, traveling long distances is once again possible for oxygen users.
SimplyGo Mini Controls
The bright, easy-to-read LCD control panel of the SimplyGo Mini is located on the top of the machine for easy access, offering touchscreen capability rather than buttons for simple controls. The screen will display several intuitive symbols, including the oxygen level, battery life, and power status, as well as any alarms. The system can detect breaths, and will automatically adjust its output. Users will be able to see which oxygen flow setting is on, ranging from setting 1 (11 mL, 22 mL/min) to setting 5 (50mL, 1000mL/min). The average battery life is calculated based on continuous usage at a flow setting of 2 (22 mL, 440mL/min).
The Device Tools option on the touchscreen panel allows the user to view the unit’s information, including the software version and battery health, and adjust some settings such as screen brightness, language, and alarm volume. There are quite a few alarms: Low oxygen concentration, high breath rate, technical faults, low battery, and more.
The SimplyGo full machine is a GREAT machine.
My wife has used the SimplyGo machine for 5 years. It has been a lifesaver as we are able to travel quite often. We have 4 batteries and get an average of 2-1/2 hours at the 2 LPM per battery. If the MINI is half as good and reliable as its big brother you will be so pleased.

Very interested in the SimplyGo Mini. How long will each battery last on continuous 1LPM of oxygen? Also, what is the battery life for the same settings on the extended battery?
at a setting of 1 the you will get better than 4.5 hours and on the extended battery you should see about 9 hours.
Is there such a thing a light weight Continous flow portable model
Hi. Due to the need for continuous flow, the machines tend to be heavier as the engineering of the concentrator requires more energy and functionality to support the flow. Some like the Eclipse5 does come with a cart to wheel around with you which does give you portability.
My husband is using the unit and is very satisfied with it. I would like to purchase for him a accessory backpack so that he can move around with both hands free and also be more comfortable for instance when hiking.
It is a great idea and having it in a backpack is an easy way to keep it on you. We do have a whole section on our website with accessories like backpacks. You can find it here. Oxygen Concentrator Backpacks.
On the air flow is it pulse only or or does it have a free flow setting.
The Respironics SimplyGo Mini is a pulse machine only. If you are looking for a continuous flow model, we can make recommendations. Please call us at: 1-877-774-9271.

I am renting an Inogen One G5 at the moment and it looks like the Respironics Mini is comparable. I’m curious about the pulse flow. I have a Respironics Simply Go which has a sleep pulse setting which is wonderful. Very sensitive, quiet and gentle. I’m wondering what the “puff” is like on the Respironics Mini. How is it alike or different from the Simply Go?
Hello Susan, since SimplyGo and SimplyGo Mini are from the same manufacturers the puff is comparable. Do note that SimplyGo Mini can go up to a setting of 5 while SimplyGo can reach a setting of 6 on pulse mode. Also, the Night Mode is only available on the SimplyGo. Our oxygen specialist can help you with a trial at our showroom in Centennial, CO. To talk to our Oxygen Specialist, please give us a call at (877) 644-4581.
How does the pulse compare to liters? Is a pulse setting of 2 the same as 2.0 liters? Is a pulse setting of 3 the same as 2.0 liters? I am on 2.0 liters continuous flow and I’d like to know if a pulse setting of 2 would provide the right amount of oxygen.
Good question, Chryss. For information on this, please refer to our blogpost: Summary of Oxygen Concentrator Liter Flows. Talk to our Oxygen Specialist for a free consultation, please give us a call at (877) 644-4581.
