Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I'm a surgeon and my wife is a physician assistant. We bought this so we could check out our own childrens' ears without having to run them into the hospital every time they spike a fever or tug their ears. The fact that it uses AA batteries is a huge plus and was requisite as we looked for one. The reticle is plastic, not glass or crystal, but this is to be expected for the price. There is plenty of illumination with the light. It is not too small for big hands. The handle is half aluminum and half durable plastic. It comes with disposable and reusable specula. Obviously, it is not up to par with the instruments we use on the job, but that is not what you should expect for this price. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase or recommend this device.
Very nice heavy, quality tool. Easy to use and is a great for the home medical bag for humans or pets. Would love to have a special cone attachment for use in dogs deep ear canals, I would be willing to pay extra for them, but this Otoscope is easy to use with provided cones. Totally recommend it!
To be clear this is a review of the seller, not the product. The otoscope worked great...for four months. Then, the switch failed. Heine would have repaired/replaced it under warranty...if this seller were an authorized distributor. Since it isn't, there was only a 30 day return window. But it from somewhere else.
Used to come with a hard case, now just the plastic packaging it comes in. Same product but just cheaper for the manufacturer. Annoyed by this because I liked being able to bring it places without having to take the packaging apart like it's a cheap toy.
