| These strips appeared to be an excellent price, but we purchased them in the summer and I don't know if they were affected by the heat in shipping or the quality is just bad. My daughter and I both tried them but they did not work (no change in color whatsoever). We had purchased two bottles and tried both bottles. We went out and bought a bottle at the local pharmacy and they worked fine. We were really disappointed at having wasted the money. |

| Awful product. The colours were off right from the start and within two months the strips stooped working completely. Don't buy this brand. Other strips work much better. |

| Bought this and couldn't wait to try it just like anybody else. Repeatdly tried it for a couple of them, didn't work. I went out and purchase another brand, and the color finally turned. |

| These strips seem to be of terrible quality. I bought a package when I first started low-carbing, and they hardly ever changed color. Eventually I stopped using them and the expiration date passed. I bought another package due to curiosity, and the low price. Again, they hardly changed color. I noticed that my grocery store had Ketostix on sale at the pharmacy. These were Bayer brand. I noticed right away that the unused strip had a light tan color, whereas the LW Scientific brand was greyish. The Bayer brand is much more reactive and, I believe, accurate. I tested both brands simultaneously over several days. Even when I was getting a deep purple from the Bayer sticks, the LW Scientific strips remained grey. Or, there might be a hint of purple within the layers of the test paper, but not on the surface. |

| Very pale colors on strips compared to other brands makes these very difficult to read with any accuracy. Majority of strips were non-reactive. The Bayer brand is
more reliable and trustworthy. |

| I had similar experiences to the others who posted reviews here. In a side by side comparison using the same test sample the Bayer strips worked perfectly, the LW strips were discolored right out of the package and never changed color. I was excited about the cheaper price at first but very disappointed in the results, you really do get what you pay for... and from now I'm paying a little more for the strips at my local pharmacy. I prefer to order all of my supplements and diet aids from Netrition, I really wish they'd start carrying another brand of testing strips. |

| I have to agree with others, this product just does not work. I have tested them against other strips...these do not change color at all...while at the same time, my other strips light up like a purple Christmas tree. Don't waste your money...these will make you feel like you are doing something wrong, when you may not be! |

| These are totally useless - in fact netrition should quit carrying them. I was paying $29.00 for 100 Ketostix from Bayer and found that about 10 out of 100 were faulty (not changing color at all). I have gone through 50 of the LW strips and only 4 registered color change at all.
DO NOT BUY! |
