 easy asthma management May 8, 2008
This is my first peak flow meter and it works beautifully. It comes with three mouthpieces and is easy to snap apart and clean. It feels solid and durable. It comes with a large booklet and a carrying case. Best of all, it stores the measurement in memory along with the time and the date it was taken, in case you don't have time to log it right away. It gives an immediate red, yellow, or green indication on each measurement also. The Microlife also measures FEV1, although this seems to vary proportionally to Peak Flow so I don't know what use it has.
 1 of 2 did not work February 27, 2008

I purchased 2 of these meters. One of the two did not work properly. The readings were over 100 points higher than my mechanical meter. I kept getting a new "HI" reading just about each time I took readings. During an attack, I took my readings, and received a new "HI"(reading over 685). I then used my mechanical meter, and found I was in the red zone (actual reading 370).
The second meter I purchased is for my son, his 'appears' to be working properly. I will monitor this closely. As far as I am concerned, this meter is a piece of garbage.
 Nice design February 14, 2008

I tried a Pico electronic peak flow meter and it never gave consistent measurements.
The Microlife is a big improvement. It uses a fan/propeller to measure flow, via an
optical sensor. The part you blow through can be removed for cleaning without getting the electronics wet.
The Windows software is so-so. If you aren't running as a user with Administrator privileges, the program pops up an error message.

This device is wonderful for people with asthma. My doctor recommended it and provided me with individual guidelines, then I just call him with the results as needed. It has resulted in much less medication than in prior years and an added sense of security.
Simple to use, easy to understand August 31, 2007

If you are interested in taking control of your asthma, this is really a great tool.
This monitor is very easy to use and gives a clear reading of lung function. I find it way better than the old manual ones. The ease of use has made it easy to become part of my day. I check my numbers just after taking my vitamin in the morning. Getting a steady look at lung flow has helped me to minnimize my use of medicine, but still get advanced warning of when to start using my inhaled steriods. My doctor thought it was great when I took it in as well.
