Personally I don't think a hypoxicator is useful for a freediver. For example, with an oximeter I was able to create exactly the same graph of SaO2 as is shown in the hypoxicator studies, except I could plateau as low as 55% if I wanted to, during the hypoxic phase. The method was simple, hypeventilate, exhale, hold for N seconds, then pack Z times every M seconds. I asked Oleg at Go-2-Altitude why I should buy a hypoxicator if I could achieve the same SaO2 cycle PAINLESSLY without any machine. He admitted it wasn't useful for someone with that level of breath control.
