The test was VERY easy to use. If there are reviews here stating otherwise they can't read or follow basic instructions.
You literally insert one thing into another then put that in your vacuum's suction tube. (Mine was a tight fit) Then you suck up an area about the size of a paper. Then remove the thing and cap it on both ends and shake it for a minute. After that you literally take the dropper and suck some out and drop 5 drops on the test. It will show in 10 mins what your Dust Mite levels are.
I thought there were three tests in one but it's actually just two. However this is a five star product.
You do this test at home and there are a few steps to it. None of the steps are difficult and the documentation is very good. I had no problem doing it. It took me less than 20 minutes to do the test myself and all I needed was a vacuum cleaner.
One note: I did end up using masking tape around the vacuum cleaner wand to get a better seal on the collection device.
The test showed some positive dust mite trace, which was useful for helping me troubleshoot why my girlfriend was having allergy issues at my place. I would definitely recommend
The package arrived quickly. Well packaged. There were literally NO instructions in the kit, so I'm wondering if this was a used box. The tip did not fit on my Kenmore Intuition upright vacuum hose. The attachment that is supposed to be used to fasten the red tip to the vacuum hose also did not fit my vacuum hose so I had to tape it to the vacuum. My son is allergic to dust mites. I hear him in his room sneezing all the time. It is rare that he washes his bedding or vacuums his floor so I just knew he had dust mites in his room but the test said NO DUST MITES. I find this questionable.
