Good, Cheap & Quick
Since I'm paranoid about getting pregnant and my birth control pills have gotten rid of my "cycle" for over a year, I try and test every couple months just for the peace-of-mind. Needless to say, testing alone can be a nerve-racking rollercoaster between the price and the possibility of false positives, operator error, etc.Between the reviews, the price and my previous good experience with Easy@Home products, I decided to give these a try. Overall, I am quite happy with these. Here are my observations:- I always do a dip test, since I feel like midstream tests are far too clumsy and variable to get consistent, accurate results... not to mention the mess that sometimes ensues.- The instructions were clear and easy-to-follow, but the reason for my four-star rating is that at least one crucial piece of information is left out: how to interpret unusual results, such as "ghost" lines and horizontal lines.- At first I was quite confused when my first test presented a faint horizontal line (not vertical, which would indicate pregnancy or a false positive). I hopped online and read through the reviews again, and to much relief quickly found that they do sometimes happen, do not indicate a positive result, and are nothing to worry about.- Some people complain that these tests feel "cheap." These are disposable urine test sticks that cost $1.62 apiece. Come on, ladies... what did you expect, solid gold? Considering the price, I think these are very good quality. If they were more expensive I'd be annoyed at little things like the incomplete instructions or the not-so-waterproof test window. But considering that you'll need to take several tests for a definite answer regardless of which brand you buy, why not save your money?- Unlike many other reviewers, I was not requested to try/review these test kits. I found them on my own and reviewed them without solicitation.TL;DR ... This is a low-cost product, so know what to expect. All things considered, they're worth the price and I highly recommend them.

Better to have and not need...
Does the job! Always good to have on hand in case you (or a friend) have a question that requires peeing on a stick to answer :)Ordering online may also save you an awkward trip to your local store.I always get a few differing brands of these tests to ensure a stable, reliable, CORRECT read-out. As always with these tests: read instructions carefully and use them methodically. Whether you're trying to conceive or are just paranoid, these are handy to have around :) I prefer the sticks that you pee on vs the pee in a cup and dip method, even though they are far more expensive. It's up to preference however.Also: strange thing to include in a review, but very,very true: If you are even a LITTLE bit curious: Take a test! Some girls get periods well into their first trimester!

Reliable tests for an unbeatable price!!
These tests gave me a better early positive than the more expensive FRERs. As you can see, the test on 10/30 was taken when my HCG was 25 (I had a blood draw at my OB's office the same day to confirm what I was seeing). That same morning I had taken 3 tests... the Easy@Home, a FRER and a Wondfo. The FRER and Wondfo gave me such faint positives I couldn't be sure that I wasn't just seeing things. The Easy@Home test, while still a faint line, wasn't as much of a squinter as the other two were. I have consistently gotten darker lines each day with all 3 brands but the progression has been the most visible and dramatic with these, even over the more expensive FRERs. Definitely would recommend these to any woman who wants to test more often (or do progressions after a positive test as I have) and not break your bank account.

Inconsistent but cheap
Had a couple of the tests not working according to the directions. After contacting the company, they gave more instructions such as waiting longer, etc...Wasn't overly impressed that I had contact the company since if there were more instructions than in the booklet, maybe they should put them in there. It worked better with gentle pressure on plastic cover for result window. For some reason the urine didn't want to absorb all the way up without the gentle pressure (even though I held in stream until saturated). The result window often changed to a whole window of color and slowly faded to a single color line in control line (one took 10 mins! ). I thought they were very inconsistent in time of result and color change but cheap so I guess I cant complain too much . I can't say if they work for positive result as I used them all before I really did find out that I was pregnant a couple months later.

I Test Like Crazy!!!
Works great and you cant beat the price for 8 test. I test like crazy and way to early I'm sure so I like that Easy@Home has 8 tests. I got a BFP 11dpo with this test, then took about 5 more within 2-3 days because I was so excited! ClearBlue digital didn't show up until 13dpo, First Response didn't show up until 14dpo but it was VERY faint, like I had to get the right lighting/angle and I'm still not even sure the line was there... I took another Easy@Home at 14dpo just to see and it was clearly two dark lines! I don't plan on using a bunch of different brands next time but I was curious as to which one worked the best (for me).

Great Test! Shield could be improved...
These worked very well for me, I have used these on two separate occasions and I really can't complain about how the tests themselves actually worked. It is my understanding that these have a pretty high sensitivity because I got positive tests about 6 days before my missed period. Additionally, there were no "duds" in either pack. Which is a common complaint for early pregnancy tests! My only issue with these tests is that I think they should be dipped ONLY. The pee shields over the test and control lines are not waterproof at all.

They are nicely packaged and they are easy to use
The tests arrived on time! They are nicely packaged and they are easy to use. Just be careful with following the instructions because there is a time limit in which you're suppose to read the test: no later than the 5 minute mark. After that, evaporation lines that can easily be mistaken for BFPs start to appear! Other than that, the tests are great for frequent testers who are trying to conceive, like me!

False negative
These tests are giving me negative but I am getting positives on 2 other brands so definitely not “early detection” like they state. Also the plastic window has a glare/shadow and not easy read if your looking for a faint positive

I do not recommend this product at all
If I could give this a Zero I would. 2 of these test have given me a false positive. As someone who is trying to conceive after having a miscarriage it was very hard to find out with another brand test that it was actually negative. I do not recommend this product at all!!

Please do not buy if you want false readings
Terrible tests!!!!!! Do not buy. I bought 2 boxes of 8 and was ecstatic about a faint positive. But thought it was odd after 2nd day the line was getting fainter. And then 2 days later got darker and then fainter again. What mind exhausting tests. And then I put water on like the other reviewer did and there was a faint so faint beginning of a positive after quite a few minutes. I threw the rest of the box out. I never write reviews, I appreciate others who do. A child is a blessing, so getting a false positive is something you do not want to ever go through.

Would rate lower if possible
If you want to deal with the emotions of getting false positives, then go ahead - 7 out of the 8 tests showed a light line. Wish I'd read the reviews on the American site before wasting money.
