Product Reviews of Microlife PF 100 Peak Flow Meter for Spirometry with FEV1
Product Review: Great Peak Flow Meter, Blows out the Competition!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I bought this peak flow meter, I had the Piko-1 meter, and there is really no comparison between the two; the Microlife definitely blows out its best competitor (the Piko-1).
Although this peak flow meter costs a bit more money, it's well worth it because you'll have a peak flow meter for life. Yes, the Piko-1 meter does store ratings, shows you wear your peak flows are, and is digital, but the mouthpiece is angled, making it difficult to achieve an accurate reading. The straight vertical angle of this peak flow meter makes it much more accurate. It also stores many more ratings than the Piko-1. Another advantage is that it uses easy-to-find batteries rather than having to find a foreign watch battery (or whatever strange size the other one uses).
The package that Amazon sells for the Microlife is excellent! The carry case is well-made, keeping the peak flow meter safe from damage, and the extra mouthpieces allow you to either clean the others while you're using one or have spares. (Incidentally, having the mouthpiece break was what happened to my old Piko-1.) These rubbery mouthpieces are also much more comfortable on the Microlife. I'm taking my peak flows more regularly now than I did with any other peak flow meter (manual or the Piko-1) just because it's easy to use. And you know if you have a breathing condition, this is VERY important!
The Microlife is definitely a peak flow meter for life. :-) I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a quality FEV1 meter!
Product Review: Great Tool for Asthma Management
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this spirometer when our son was having intermittent asthma bouts. It is a great tool for monitoring breathing and need for Xopenex, etc.Product Review: Great design, easy to use, and maybe even a little fun...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first meter, and I'm really glad I picked it up. It's quite simple to figure out and use. I haven't had my values checked before, but the meter seems accurate in that the results are closely repeatable. I may even pick up the software to track my progress, which is only $25 from the company's web site. It's comforting to make an objective measurement of something that seems so subjective. I look forward to determining whether or not Singulair actually affects me, because it's honestly hard to tell if it's working or not.Product Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
This device is wonderful for people with asthma. My doctor recommended it and provided me with individual guidelines, then I just call him with the results as needed. It has resulted in much less medication than in prior years and an added sense of security.Product Review: I highly recommend the Microlife PF 100 Peak Flow Meter
Summary: 5 Stars
The peak flow meter is easy to use. It is also of very high quality. The traffic light color code system makes it easy to know when your in trouble.
