I bought this for my young daughter's birthday. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up but this is barely worth being a toy. One can barely hear the heart beat (if at all) much to my chagrin. I hope nurses out there don't buy this because they will be disappointed and put the patients they care for in jepordy.

Don't waste your money. This is a piece of junk. You can't hear anything on the end. You can hear more tapping on the rubber hose. I think this is a stage prop or costume accessory. It is definitely not a real stethescope.

I purchased this item for use at my job where I take vitals everyday. I figured I had to try it out and see how good it was for $3.00. As other reviewers have stated this will not pick up a heart beat but it is not a cardiology scope it is used for taking BP's. It works great for that and it was very cheap. If you want your own scope to take BP's with then buy this item.

I'm not health care professional, and have no means to judge it in professional way, so I have no idea if this will meet the real need, but for the price, it meets my need for both listening to my kids' breathe and for educate them what a stethoscope is. So you can see, this is an entry level product at least for either curiosity or play, and for the price, it is great.

It was delivered promply and was in excellent condition. Very good price for the product.
