Product Reviews of PRO-Fiberoptic L.E.D. Otoscope with Zippered Leatherette Case
Product Review: Really nice otoscope with brightest white light I have ever used
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this otoscope almost a year ago and have been so impressed I felt compelled to leave a product review. The light is a really bright white light and I can see as clear if not clearer with it as I can with my Welch Allen model I have in one of my exam rooms that runs off electricity and is wall mounted. Considering the Welch Allen cost me around $600 and this was 10 years ago I consider this otoscope a real bargain. Also the batteries seem to last and last I guess due to the LEAD light. I purchased 2 sets of re-chargeables to use with the otoscope so I always have one set charging and ready to go and I find it takes 3 to 4 weeks of regular use before I have to switch them out. Also the other big advantage is that the bulb on this otoscope is guaranteed for life. I am replacing the bulb on my wall mounted unit at least once every year or two and the cost of one bulb is almost half of what I paid for this entire kit. I could not be happier with my purchase and consider this otoscope an exceptional value for the money paid.

Product Review: Superior Otoscope
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these otoscopes for our local school district's speech language pathology program. The high quality construction and comfortable grip make them easy to use. The light is very good and makes viewing of the tympanic membrane quick and easy. They are just as good as the Welch Allyn's that I use in my practice in the medical setting and are much less expensive. Well worth the investments. Nice carrying case comes with them. Recommended them without reservation.Product Review: Very bright light along with quality look and feel highly recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this otoscope when I saw that it was going to cost me almost $35 for a halogen bulb for my old otoscope. The light on this otoscope is very bright and I see the tympanic membrane more clearly than I did with my Welsh Allyn. It also appears very sturdy and well made. I admit I was sort of skeptical due to the low price but I could not be happier about my purchase. The only problem I had was the zipper on my case was not working smoothly but the company was very responsive and replaced it immediately after I notified then there was a problem.Product Review: Very nice otoscope, extremely bright and very clear view of the eardrum.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this otoscope after the bulb burnt out on mine. The cost for 2 replacement bulbs were going to cost me almost as much as this one. When I saw this model on amazon and read the reviews I thought what the heck I would give it a try. I have been using it in my practice now for 2 months and am very impressed with its function. The light is much brighter than my older Welch Allen Otoscope that I have been using for several years. I can also see the eardrum more clearly. I am not sure if it is due to the brighter light or a better lens but never the less it works better than I ever anticipated especially for its price.
The otoscope itself seems very sturdy. The only issue I had with it was that when it arrived the ring that holds the lens in place had a small crack in it. The lens was still held in place but I was worried the crack might get worse with time. I contacted customer service for the company and they immediately sent me out a new otoscope head and a postage paid envelope to return the one with the crack.
The Welch Allen specula I was using also do not fit quite as well as they did on my Welch Allen Otoscope. I was able to order specula from the company that makes the otoscope once I used up all my old ones and they fit perfectly. They were also less expensive than what I was paying for the Welch Allyn brand tips.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase.
Product Review: Works well, but different than what I'm used to
Summary: 4 Stars
The otoscope is made well enough and does what it is supposed to. Bought it so that I'd have one at home instead of hauling my equipment from the clinic home each time the kids/neighbors/cousins came down with ear infections. Compared to Welch-Allyn, light has slightly different hue but easy enough to get used to. The head will not connect to Welch-Allyn battery grips, and standard tips that fit a Welch-Allyn won't attach to the head of this instrument. However, comes with a dozen or so tips that do work with it, and since I don't use it that often should suffice with cleaning. The tips are a little longer also, so field of view is slightly more restricted because of this.
