Like I said never mind who said. what I want to know Is this product worth the money
Has it been put on the market too early and has problems or is it a great peace of kit and worth the money. That’s what I want to know

Not sure if you looked, but there are some reviews in this group. I did one at my 6 month mark and didn't hold anything back.

A lot more detail in the review, but a quick summary is:

It does work

App could use a face lift. Improve readability, allow calibration/offset for reagents, etc

Cloud dependent

Doesn't seem like RK makes many changes to anything other than new versions of the bot, and if they do you would never know as there is no change log. Has been lot of request with very little followed through.

Instructions are minimal at best. Example being if you use ABC Reagents, which is which for setup? You have to find a post here or FB group for answer. If you use Redsea Cal test(don't!, last 2 days max) mixing instructions for B/C reagents have to be searched for in their help section of the app.

I explain it better in the review, but it feels like RK is always moving forward to the next sale, not so much about improving what is already out there. I hate to say it, as I do like the bot and what it could be, but I think the execution is lacking.
