A very frustrating piece of equipment. More often than not, when I test, I get a message saying blood sample to small, cartridge faulty and replace or test error, test again. I retest only for the error message to occur 2 or sometimes up to 4 times.

My freestyle is far more accurate.

Mostly very convenient to use but well and truly annoyed by the dumb 3 months expiry once you insert a cassette. I have two of these and use them fairly infrequently, meaning I get maybe a dozen tests òut of 50 in the cassette and find myself stranded without a meter when I need to use it. An override method would be useful. Of course having two òf them doubles my problem, but I have issues finding things and having 2 doubles the chances of locating it. Anyways, the government covers the bulk of the cost for us in australia so it is the inconvenience of not being able to do get a BSL when I need it!

The new cassettes with the horns each side do a magnificent job of producing error readings. A very large wound is now required to produce enough blood to reach the test strip. This coupled with the short expire time (90 days) must generate massive increased sales. A great business model.
I will seek out an alternative test device.

Records before &/or after meals testing.
The only improvement that I would suggest would be a comment/note section to support the possible reason for the test result.

Terrible new cassette with tips either side, causes multiple test failures. Had 2 for years but more and more tempted to throw mine at the wall. Was great! Now Terrible

Very east to test but the support software just doesn't work. I tried all 3 possible options and all very buggy.
Tech support is very good in responding but again everything they suggest doesn't work.

Same problem, since the redesign of the test strip cartridge the unit is almost unusable. Lucky to get one in five tests correct, or even get a reading. Worked fine before they got to it. Suggest you try a different brand.

Has been great up until the redesign of the cassette. The lugs make it hard to get your finger into the test area properly. At present I'm averaging 3 errors every time so this latest cassette will only last me about a week if I'm lucky instead of the 25 days it should. I might try and file the lugs off as I want to keep using this tester as it is normally very convenient. Would have given it 5 stars last week before I bought the new cassette.

The no strip system is great. A l so the finger pricker attached is a bonus.
Great way to do readings. Only downside is its a bit big but it's not a big deal.

The Accu chek mobile system is overall an excellent product which I have been using for several years now without problems, but recent changes to the design of the testing area by the addition is so called locating lugs has resulted in many errors and false readings (this was not the meter as tried an old style cassette and all was fine).
An excellent product let down by poor redesign.

Never have I had a meter that has had failed tests (E3 & E4) as on this RUBBISH meter and add to that "Defective Cassette"
Not trustworthy at all!
Don't buy this meter(even if it's FREE)
;(

Having done an original review stating how the machine did only 27/50 tests, I was advised it could have been a faulty machine and should try another one. It was faulty.
The new one has been amazing and out of three cartridges used so far, only two errors have shown and both were my own fault for not applying properly. I can highly recommend this tester, as it has made a world of difference to me and is so easy to use with no problems of disposal.
Take the time to be sure you're using it correctly and it is excellent.

I get a more than 50% failure rate with E5, E4, E3 frequently cropping up, one after another. Frustrating, expensive on cartridges and score on the fingers. But what is there that is better out there?

Purchases this glucometer as I forgot to take mine after leaving to go on holidays. I found it very convenient not having to fiddle with strips and the finger pricker. It requires a very small amount of blood and have had zero problems with it so far.

Useful in not having to insert strips. Similar to other users, there is a high wastage factor - in sufficient blood but recently encountered meter error E3 many times when i was overseas. Could not get replacement in Malaysia - not used there. On return to Aus, complained to customer service and told now working ok - cannot do anymore. I asked for a replacement meter but this was not entertained. Meter error occurred again now!! Customer service poor to respond in this way. I would have thought they would want the meter back to check out what is happening with it. but no!

Diabetic for 35 years. Same as a lot of the other reviews. Waste tests all the time. Not enough blood, expired cassette, flat batteries, error. Says this rubbish then no problems for a day or two. It's got a mind of its own. But still using cause it is much easier than putting in strips every time. Wish there was another similar meter that worked every time. I would by one even if it cost heaps more.
I'm waiting for ANOTHER replacement at the moment after spending 1/2 hour on the phone. I don't think they know how important blood testing is.
