I bought the Nonin GO2 for my mom who uses oxygen at night and has had blood oxygen saturation problems lately. Her level is normally 97-98 but sometimes drops to 90. I wanted her to know when it got low. I researched several brands of home meters. Nonin, I learned, makes professional models costing hundreds. But the GO2 uses the same technology in the home use meter. The difference is that the GO2 is not "certified" thought technically its just as accurate and reliable as a professional unit. The meter is very easy to use. It automatically turns on when placed on the finger. It takes 5-10 seconds to give O2 level and pulse rate. Then it shuts off automatically once removed. A single AAA battery lasts about 4000 readings. It has a great warranty (2 years) and seems very accurate. Highly recommended product!

I am a respiratory therapist and I have been using this device for about five months now. It is relatively cheap compared to the Nonin Onyx but as a medical professional I would recommend spending the extra money and having a nicer device. This pulse ox does not read sometimes. (not because of fingernail polish or hypotension/hypothermia; although that messes with the reading too like all pulse oximeters) This pulse ox tends to read lower than usual than most other devices. Why? I don't know.

Is it bad? Not entirely, This is probably the ideal device for athletes who want to check their pulse and oxygen saturation.
In other words, it's perfect for those who are completely healthy and normal, It's only $99 and will work great for you.

Is it great? No, I would recommend using a Nonin Onyx if you are buying to use in a hospital or medical setting,
Cough up 200 dollars.

After using this product I came to a conclusion that it really doing its job.
It give very accurate results and is very easy to use.

product main properties:
- Continues measurement (results displayed and updated continuously).
- Automatic ON and OFF (no buttons!!!)
- clearly readable LCD display (with backlight) - Very accurate. results are repeatable - tested on different fingers both hands, on short time period,
resulting difference + or - 1BPM, + or - 1%SPO2 (which is the device resolution, so the actual accuracy maybe even higher).
- Give an indication on measurement quality (pulse strength indication).
- Uses standard AAA battery.
- Battery level indicator.

Highly recommended!!!
