Highlights
Quality
Light source, this was built with quality in mind!

Price
For the price, this is the best!
I saw this otoscope and the price was right.
Mom website for just an extra $3.
Every other otoscope that i looked at online was at least upwards of $80.
Shipping
Packaging: my item was shipped right away, and i received prompt notification.
Otoscope and received it within a weeks time from amazon.
Customer service got back to me in a timely manner and sent out the replacement quickly.
I received it on time and it came as expected.
Packaging/appearance
I opened the packaging and installed the batteries.
My model is the 3rd generation with the packaging used as a case.
This works well although the packaging is a little weird.
Competitiveness
It performed as well as any of the more expensive, professional otoscopes that i have used.
I sincerely believe this is probably the best priced home-use otoscope available.
They are not comparable, and have different uses.
For those of you trying to compare this otoscope to a $250-$400 one – please stop.
