Art T: I had the exact model from some yrs back. Obviously or at least hopefully you don’t need daily. My mistake, I left the batteries installed and they corroded up so I needed to buy another one. I bought the same model but with the carrying case. Now I take the batteries out and leave in the case for when I need to use. Good product.

ChaseDis600RR: I LOVE this otoscope. What sold me is the lighted ear curettes because I love digging in my husbands/sons ears and finding little nugget treasures. I guess I initially looked for an otoscope as I wanted to be able to look into my baby's ears to check for ear infections. I'm an RN and I agree, if you really wanna be technical about it, sometimes it is somewhat hard to decipher the color of the tympanic membrane and surrounding skin because of the brightness of the light. I wouldn't buy this though if I was using it diagnostically for school or on patients as I'd invest in a higher level type with more capabilities. But for at home use I think it's perfect. And that same bright light is what I love about it and let's me see clearly if there's earwax or not, if the eardrum is perforated, or if the canal is inflamed. It also helps me to see clearly when I'm digging in there with the curette.
Please be extremely cautious when doing this on your kids/anyone let alone your babies. It's easy to go in too deep as their ear canals are super short. Luckily my little guy loves when I'm in there, stays super still, and even cries when I stop or take it out! Weird, I know.
The case is...

fromthedesert: I really like this product for home use, but beware, the LED light could be brighter. It is difficult to get a really clear view of my son's ear drum due to this fact (his canal is long), but I can see it, though not well. However, I bought this as a cleaning aid, not a diagnostic tool. My son, due to allergies, has an excess of wax build up in one of his ear canals. I hated "going blind" in an attempt to remove the excess. The lighted curette is very helpful in removing the hard, encrusted wax before it becomes an obstruction. Please do not attempt this without knowing what you are doing. The magnifying lense is quite helpful on the speculum attachment. An additional nice feature of this product is that it uses regular AAA batteries which we keep in the house at all times. No running to the store to try to find button batteries. I agree with other reviewers, and this is a big con, the case is light weight plastic and could easily break it not careful, but for storage, its fine, with limitations. I would not put it in my checked luggage while traveling nor let my child attempt opening it (which he wanted to do as soon as I used it). Yes, its that fragile. But I am still glad I...
