Lactate Meter Bundle by THE EDGE - Lactic Acid Test Kit - Includes 30 Test Strips - Complete Monitor Tester

I recently purchased the lactate meter bundle to help me determine my lactate threshold and fine tune my Zone 2 training. The meter itself includes a few strips, which I used for basic testing of the device upon arrival. The additional strips that come with the bundle were used to calculate my lactate threshold for the first time in my life! All worked well. Prior to purchasing I was initially concerned about erratic readings due to a negative review complaining of such. However, my experience was quite the opposite. I was able to calculate my lactate threshold easily: 0.6mmol/L, 0.7mmol/L, 0.8mmol/L, 1.0mmol/L, 1.2mmol/L, 1.5mmol/L, 1.8mmol/L and finally 3.4mmol/L, indicating my LT1.The meter has proved to be user-friendly, with clear results that made calculating my lactate threshold a breeze.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It shows that you don't need to overspend on other models when this one delivers consistent and reliable results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to monitor their lactate threshold and improve their fitness routine.

I wanted to take the guess work for figuring out my workout zones. This meter really lets you know what’s happening inside your body at different heart rates.It’s straightforward and easy to use. Just keep in mind it takes a larger drop of blood than most glucose test strips. The strips can be a bit finicky and takes some getting used to in order to dial in the amount of blood and just barely tapping the strip to the blood droplet.

Excited to get and test this product. Took a little time to figure it out with coding cards and date setting that starts in 2006, but got it all set up and then started running tests. My first six results:1. Error - nt OK2. Error - LOW3. Error - LOW4. Error - nt OK5. Error - LOW6. Error - nt OKLooks like a waste of both time and money. Hope other people are getting better results.

I ordered this lactate meter so that I could measure my lactate threshold for zone 2 endurance exercise. The meter was simple to use, with a clear user manual. I was able to easily switch the units from mg/mL to mmol/L, and then used my bicycle on a trainer to test my lactate threshold (LT1). The meter was reproducible and showed the expected behavior: 1.7 (baseline, mmol/L), then 1.2, 1.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.7, 1.7, 1.7, 2.3, using 7 min steps and increasing power at each step. I am very pleased with the unit, and will continue to use it to monitor lactate at the end of my zone 2 workouts, to make sure the intensity is not too high, and periodically retest my lactate threshold.

Finally took the plunge and purchased this and am glad I did. Had been suspecting that my zone 2 pace/power level - estimated using RPE and talk-test - was too high and confirmed this on 2 consecutive "easy" rides using my new Edge meter with readings just north of 2 mmol. Dialed back effort level by 20 watts and got a reading of 1.6, which closer to where I want to be. Readings seem consistent and accurate so far - key is to thoroughly wash hands and use large enough sample. Highly recommend to anyone trying to get the most from their endurance training.

This little gem finally allows you to optimize your fitness program. No more wondering “am I doing too much or too little “. The meter is very easy to setup and use. The kit allows you to use it within 15 minutes (set up time) of its arrival. Don’t wait to dial in your aerobic workouts…walking, running, cycling, bike trainer…whatever gets your heart pumping. YOU’LL LOVE IT!!!

Very easy to use. The quick guide is very helpful in navigating how to use it. I also would suggest checking a couple of YouTube videos before getting started. I had never used a Lancet device before.The hardware interface is very old School and lacks connectivity, but I believe this is true for all lactate meters and it's straightforward to use.

I purchased this to fine tune zone2 training. It requires a larger blood sample and about 45 seconds to provide a reading. Initially, the amount of blood needed for an accurate result led to some frustration. Future buyers should be aware of the sample size needed and waiting time. Despite these, I'm generally satisfied with the purchase.
