Works as far as I know
Super easy to use. I think it’s accurate but with out a blood test to compare it to how would I know. Love the multiple tips. My husband and I both use it in the morning and have our own tips. Read the directions and make sure you reset it 3 times in between each person. Just wait for the count down to get to 1 and just blow. It makes an annoying whistle sound but is over in 10 seconds so not a big deal.

never reads above zero
got this as a reuseable tester but never would read above zero. followed all instruction, also chatted with Amazon. they tried to help. but never got above zero.I have this meter to check with drop of blood:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QWMM4M6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1but the strips are almost $1 each, and shows that ketones are present in the blood. was trying to save money on testing, but again, it never would read anything other than zero, even following the instruction as printed in the description and in the book and help from Amazon.am returning it.

Seems to work
I was looking for something to give me a numerical result of ketosis as compared to the test strips where you have to try to compare color. My initial results have been between 10 and 15, which is low compared to the test strips at this point. I will continue to do more testing.First, the product description says that there are 10 breathing tubes, but mine only had 1 bag of 5 so I don't know if the description is wrong or they just didn't send me enough ?This is a pretty simple instrument, but the directions are confusing.It never said to plug in the tube or how to do it, but I plugged one in.Directions say "Near and blow into the breath in hole for 5-6 seconds." I wasn't sure if this meant literally to get close and blow into the tube or if it meant put your mouth on it and blow directly into it. After testing, I decided it meant put your mouth on it.It also says "Make sure you have blown 5 seconds at least in total until there is a line flashing on the screen." Since the screen is opposite my face when blowing, the only way I can see the if the line is flashing is to do it in front of a mirror or camera screen.I'll keep testing, but I'm hoping it will be helpful. It will be interesting to try again sometime when I'm getting into ketosis (instead of already in it like I am) to see how accurate it is then.

Seems wildly inaccurate
I bought this meter because I was unsure of how accurate the urine strips were due to how much water I drink daily. I'm sorry to say that this device is probably more immaculate than those strips.I always use the device 4-5 times in a row to try and get a steady reading, and it never happens.First test I'll be at 0 ketones ppm, next one 39, next one 20, next one 0, next one 17.I had my friend who is also doing a keto diet try the meter and she had the same problems - except hers were even wilder variations.Now, about exactly a month after buying it and not changing anything about my diet whatsoever, I get mostly 0 ppm readings with the odd 20 thrown in.Maybe mines defective, idk.

Broke before two months.
This meter worked for the first week. After that, it would require multiple attempts to get a reading. The readings varried so much it was hard to trust the accuracy. Now after 2 months it is completely broken. I should have spent a little more money on a better product.

Inaccurate
I tested my daughters who are in no way in ketosis and all three gave ketosis readings.

Works fast and easy once to read the directions correctly
Ok so I started doing keto about a month and a half ago but to be honest with you I wasn't really sure I was eating the right foods or even getting to the point that it was working. I wanted something that would help me know because I'm the type if I don't see results I tend to give up. So I started searching for something to tell me without being a pain to do because as a mom I don't have a lot of spare time. So I researched until I found this seemed it would be quick and easy. So I bought it. I've had it for a few weeks and here are some tips I discovered cause I don't read directions well. Blow into it for the 5 seconds it says otherwise it wasn't reading correctly. I only test of a morning cause when I tested all day the results seem to be off. Again should have read directions cause it says when you are fasting after you just woke up. Since reading that I get my readings every morning and write them down before my kid gets out of bed and my busy day starts. This is something you can reuse without waste like the strips. So far I think it's easy and convenient so good luck to all those out there and if you wanna track yourself this really does help you stay on track and stick with it.

very reliable
I have recently started my keto journey and this is helping so much!! It is really accurate and makes staying on track much easier. Make sure to clear it the first time. It will show if youve eaten lots of carbs recently so that helps with knowing what needs to be cut out.
