I purchased this same exact otoscope set at Walgreens a couple months ago for around $10 and was not impressed. I am sure it is the same kit because it looked exactly like this and it came with the same little attachments and mirror. It was all plastic and had a flimsy feel. It felt more like a fisher price toy you would buy for your child to play doctor than a functional light to see inside the ear. You had to push down on the pocket clip to get it to turn on. You could see inside the ear but the view was somewhat distorted. The light was also somewhat dim. I ended up taking it back for a refund since I felt it was a waste of my money.

This could be useful to check the throat or to check for earWAX but I got it to check my son's ear for earaches and it just didn't work. The magnifying glass is not strong enough to see the eardrum, and even with suggestions from my pediatrician I could barely make anything out (making it impossible to check for redness). I returned the item because it just wouldn't do. I'd suggest investing in something better and went with the Dr. Mom scope with the LED light.

As it turned out, mine was defective, but I was glad it was because the whole thing didn't feel like it was very good quality. The proportions were wonky, and it felt like it would come apart frequently.

a must for parents. ask a doctor to help you learn what to look for when using it if you don't know how. i am a nurse and couldn't find one for this price until now and wish i got it years ago. i have used it multiple times since getting it mostly for sore throats but will use it if there is ear pain too.

this will be my presents to new parents for now on

The price was very inexpensive, the shipping was prompt, and the product as desribed. This light has more features than I realized. I would order from tjhis seller again.

This thing is the worst! If you are getting it for looking at an eardrum then you better look elsewhere!

Of two brands of scopes I have recently purchased, this one was the better product. Though it was cheaper in cost, it was of a better quality. I plan on buying several more for a clinic overseas.

I have recently purchased the Ezy-Care Medi-Scope and can't imagine how I lived without it before!! It has made such a difference instead of having to just guess! Now I KNOW when to take my kids to the Doctor for an ear infection! I use mine ALL the time! It has great attachments, to check their eyes, ears, nose and throat! It comes with two size tongue depressors, one for the kids and one I use for myself!! I would HIGHLY recommend this product for any mother, no matter what your children's ages are, it's a huge help! Has paid for itself by all the doctor offices visits I have not had to make due to the fact that I can just take a peek in their ears or throat or nose, and can see for myself if they need to go to the Doctor!! Five stars for this product!! Thanks!
