Buying guide

Buying a hydrogen inhaler in Europe? Check these 7 things first

Before you buy a hydrogen inhaler, find out how the gas is made, what actually comes out of the tube, whether the output has been measured, which water it needs, who the seller is inside the EU, what warranty and returns you get, and whether spare parts exist. It applies to a 200 € marketplace unit as much as to a 2 500 € one.

The checklist

Seven questions to put to any seller

They work on a marketplace listing, in a web shop or on the phone with a reseller. A good answer is specific and something you can verify.

01

How is the gas made?

Most inhalers use electrolysis: a current splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Ask about the cell. A PEM cell (also called SPE), with a membrane that keeps the two gases apart, is the norm in better devices. If a listing only says "electrolysis" or "99.99% purity", ask for more.

02

What comes out of the tube?

This matters most. Some devices deliver pure hydrogen, some a hydrogen and oxygen mix, and some blend hydrogen with air to a low concentration. Hydrogen is flammable in air from about 4%, and a hydrogen and oxygen mix ignites more easily than hydrogen in air. The seller should tell you exactly what you breathe in and which safety rules apply.

03

Is the output measured?

Output is given in ml/min. The figure in a listing is usually the maker's own, and sometimes covers all the gas rather than the hydrogen alone. Ask whether there is an independent measurement and whether it refers to hydrogen. Then read output and concentration together.

04

Which water does it need?

Electrolysis cells rarely tolerate tap water, because minerals and limescale build up in the cell. Most need distilled or purified water. Check how often you refill, where you buy the water and whether the wrong water voids the warranty.

05

Who is the seller in the EU?

Look for a company name, a registration number and a postal address. Electrical products sold in the EU must carry the CE mark, and the seller should be able to show the EU declaration of conformity and a manual you can read. If the parcel ships from outside the EU, import VAT and sometimes customs duty are added at the door.

06

What returns and warranty?

Buying at a distance from an EU business gives you a 14-day right of withdrawal. Ask how long the seller's own return period is on top of that, how long the warranty runs and where a faulty unit is sent. Returning a device to Asia can cost more than it is worth.

07

Are spare parts and support available?

Tubes, mist parts and filters wear out. Ask whether they can be ordered, what they cost and who answers when something goes wrong after a year. An email to the seller before you buy shows how quickly you get a reply.

Marketplaces

Cheap hydrogen inhalers on Amazon and AliExpress

Search for “hydrogen inhalation machine” and much of the first page is Amazon, AliExpress and eBay listings, typically from around 200 to 1 200 € with high stated outputs. Some of those units may be fine. The trouble is that the listing rarely answers the seven questions above.

  • The gas is described as "pure hydrogen" or "99.99%" with nothing about the mix or safety rules.
  • The seller is a brand with no address in the EU, shipping from a warehouse outside the Union.
  • The manual exists only in English or Chinese.
  • Returns go abroad at your cost, and the maker handles the warranty.
  • Spare parts and water are not mentioned.

If you get clear answers, a cheaper unit may suit you. If you do not, you know what you are taking on.

Buying across the EU

VAT, customs and shipping when you buy from an EU seller

Buying inside the EU removes the customs step, but a few things still vary by country.

No customs clearance

Goods moving between EU countries are not cleared through customs, so there is no import VAT or duty to pay on delivery and no carrier handling fee for clearance.

VAT included

Our prices include VAT. Lita Air costs 2 490 € (27 900 kr) incl. VAT.

Shipping in the confirmation

Shipping is free within Sweden. For other EU countries the cost depends on the destination and is stated in your order confirmation, so you see the total before you pay.

Consumer rights travel with you

The 14-day right of withdrawal applies across the EU. Our 30-day return right and the 3-year statutory complaint right under Swedish consumer law come on top.

Common questions

Questions before you buy a hydrogen inhaler

Is a cheap hydrogen inhaler from Amazon or AliExpress a bad buy?

Not necessarily, but you know less about what you are getting. Check which gas comes out, whether the output is measured or only stated, who the responsible seller in the EU is, and where the unit goes if it breaks. If those answers are missing, that uncertainty is part of the price.

Does a hydrogen inhaler need a CE mark?

Electrical products sold in the EU must carry the CE mark and have an EU declaration of conformity. The mark is the manufacturer's own declaration, so ask the seller for the documentation and for a manual in a language you can read.

Will I pay customs or import VAT?

If the parcel ships from outside the EU, you pay import VAT and sometimes customs duty, often with a handling fee from the carrier. Buying from a seller inside the EU, VAT is part of the price and there is no customs clearance.

Do you deliver Lita Air to my country?

We deliver from Stockholm to every EU country. Shipping within Sweden is free; for other EU countries the shipping cost is stated in your order confirmation before you pay.

How do I pay?

By invoice. You order on the product page, receive an order confirmation within one business day together with an invoice due in 14 days, and we ship once it is paid. If you would like to spread the cost, ask us about financing.

What happens if Lita Air develops a fault?

You have a 12-month warranty plus the 3-year statutory complaint right under Swedish consumer law. You report the fault to us in Stockholm, and spare parts and servicing are handled from here after the warranty ends too.
