 Great Peak Flow Meter, Blows out the Competition!, 2007-03-09
Before I bought this peak flow meter, I had the Piko-1 meter, and there is really no comparison between the two; the Microlife definitely blows out its best competitor (the Piko-1).
Although this peak flow meter costs a bit more money, it's well worth it because you'll have a peak flow meter for life. Yes, the Piko-1 meter does store ratings, shows you wear your peak flows are, and is digital, but the mouthpiece is angled, making it difficult to achieve an accurate reading. The straight vertical angle of this peak flow meter makes it much more accurate. It also stores many more ratings than the Piko-1. Another advantage is that it uses easy-to-find batteries rather than having to find a foreign watch battery (or whatever strange size the other one uses).
The package that Amazon sells for the Microlife is excellent! The carry case is well-made, keeping the peak flow meter safe from damage, and the extra mouthpieces allow you to either clean the others while you're using one or have spares. (Incidentally, having the mouthpiece break was what happened to my old Piko-1.) These rubbery mouthpieces are also much more comfortable on the Microlife. I'm taking my peak flows more regularly now than I did with any other peak flow meter (manual or the Piko-1) just because it's easy to use. And you know if you have a breathing condition, this is VERY important!
The Microlife is definitely a peak flow meter for life. :-) I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a quality FEV1 meter!

Very Helpful in time of asthma problems, 2007-02-14
I do enjoy this product and the fact that it keeps the time and the peak flow, I don't have to keep charts anymore. In connecting it to the PC, it works fine but the printouts are a little funky. That part is really meant for a Doctor's Office and getting the information off your PFM to your records in their office. My doctor was very impressed in the unit and the charts that I gave her. I would recommend this to anyone who is having problems stabilizing their asthma. Amazon has the best price. Oh, and Microlife has a wonderful customer service. Great people!

 PF 100 great gadget. ...Poor software, 2007-01-12
The PF-100 is a great gadget for checking a few values that can indicate general lung health -> Asthma. Its easy to use, inexpensive, light weight. For a stand alone device it works great as a spot check.
Software? Toss it. It looks like it should work great for managing the data recorded. But it locks up on WinXP and is pretty much worthless as you cant get the data from the device. Attempts to resolve this with Microlife were not productive as they stated " we have not heard of this problem". I Find it hard to believe. This is most likely due to support for Win98 as indicated. Who still uses this Win98? Its 2007.

Great design, easy to use, and maybe even a little fun..., 2006-11-15
This is my first meter, and I'm really glad I picked it up. It's quite simple to figure out and use. I haven't had my values checked before, but the meter seems accurate in that the results are closely repeatable. I may even pick up the software to track my progress, which is only $25 from the company's web site. It's comforting to make an objective measurement of something that seems so subjective. I look forward to determining whether or not Singulair actually affects me, because it's honestly hard to tell if it's working or not.

Review of Spirometry with FEV1, 2006-03-13
I've been using a peak flow meter for years and this gives better and more information than any I've used. I also bought the Peak Flow/FEV1 Analyzer Software with USB Cable that works with it and it gives beautiful graphs and excellent information to pass on to my physician. Even without the software, though, the Spritometer has a memory and makes it much easier for me to keep track of my fluctuations.
