My review:

This oximeter works nicely. It powers up quickly and it has the feature where you can change the direction of reading the display. Read it toward you if your are taking it or if someone else is reading it can be changed toward them. It has a large bright LED display that is easy to read and shows both the pulse rate and SpO2 level very clearly. The LED display is easy to read under any lighting conditions it also has good visual contrast for those who may have decreased eye sight. The device is very simple to use with one easy to identify push button. Its comfortable for any size finger. There is just enough spring tension to hold it comfortably and securely on your finger without any pinching or pain. When removed from the finger it automatically turns off after a few seconds preserving the battery. If you've never taken your an SpO2 reading before there is an instruction sheet that comes with the device that lists what would be considered a normal range. Plus, if you are using this on a doctor's orders, your doctor will likely tell you what number you want. Overall this is a handy tool to have if you or someone you care for needs to know their oxygen saturation and pulse rate and this oximeter does the trick for an inexpensive price.
