Product Review: Impressive product for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so impressed with this otoscope. I have been using Welch Allyn otoscopes my entire career as a pediatrician. They have functioned very well but are very expensive. I have also spent many dollars on bulb replacements over my 15 years in practice. I am not sure if it is the extraordinary bright light or just a better lens but the view of the tympanic membrane with this otoscope is definitely superior to my old Welch Allyn.
What really amazes me is the light from this otoscope is brighter than any Welch Allyn I have ever used and the thought of never having to order another bulb makes me very happy. I purchased 2 sets of C cell rechargable batteries at radioshack to use with the otoscope but thus far have not changed or had to recharge the original set I put in the otoscope after 3 weeks of use in my busy practice. It is my understanding that the led light source only uses a fraction of the battery power compared to a halogen bulb.
My only complaint is that I was unable to use my insufflation bulb that I already owned because the fitting was different on this otoscope than it was on my Welch Allyn. I was able to purchase one on the companies website though for $9. My Welch Allyn specula did work well with this otoscope and I was happy about this.
Product Review: It works, you can see in, but the light is a bit touchy...
Summary: 3 Stars
This works well in that you can see inside the ear. (I bought this for my baby who was prone to ear infections for a bit.) It comes in nice case and you can adjust the sizes (of the cones), so you can use it from child to adult. My one complaint is that the light is a bit touchy. If I don't get it just right or move it, the light sometimes goes out and I kind of have to tap it back on. Not a big deal, except when you're trying to use it with a squirming child. If I had to do it again, I might shop around a bit. But that's not to say it would be off my list entirely. I would just look more closely at the other options.Product Review: Lacks quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Lens frame appeared to be cracked by mounting screw. The switch had a "dead" spot in it where the light would not work. The connection from the light to the body (Handle) seemed a bit loose and insecure. Basically was not the quality I expected for the money.Product Review: Really bright light and excellent clear view inside the ear
Summary: 5 Stars
This otoscope was one of the best things I have found on Amazon (at least this is what my husband has told me). The otoscope seems sturdy and we love the fact the warranty even covers the bulb. My husband is a physician who is just getting started in his first practice in a small town so we liked the inexpensive price especially since we were needing three otoscopes for 3 different exam rooms. The other sets we were looking at were over $400 per kit. The light on this otoscope is really bright and my husband says that what you see inside the ear canal is very clear. The only problem we had was with one set. The otoscope comes with around 10 specula tips of various sizes but we had already purchased a large supply of Welch Allyn specula tips for the practice and found that on one set the tips did not go on as easily as the other two sets. We emailed the company about this and they immediately sent us out a new otoscope head and had us send the defective one back in a mailer. The new otoscope head fixed the problem. Overall we could not be happier to have found this otoscope set.
