Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Review:

The customers who reviewed the oximeter rated it 4.0 stars. They appreciated its accuracy especially for its price. They also liked how it was nice and compact, which made it easy to take around anywhere, anytime. One customer reported that it was extremely helpful in keeping track of her husband’s oxygen levels; she found that it worked great, which was a nice surprise, especially considering how it was among the more affordable models. Another reviewer’s husband was on oxygen everyday and they made good use of this oximeter to make sure his oxygen intake was sufficient. Another user pointed out that he liked how it was easy to use batteries, and he reportedly used rechargeable ones and found that they lasted a really long time. Other users confirmed the readings with those at the doctor’s clinic and came back with satisfied results.

Still, the few reviewers who rated it poorly had the major complaint about a device that did not work or gave inconsistent readings. Possibly they got defective units, because all the other reviewers were very happy to announce that they were highly satisfied with it. Sadly, those buyers who received the defective units also did not have a good experience with the seller’s customer service, with one who found they would not honor the warranty and the other receiving a rude letter in response to a complaint about the device not working despite having batteries put in.

Except for those two major bad experiences, though, the rest of the reviewer were very satisfied with the oximeter and would most happily recommend it to other buyers.
