First make sure your hands are warm as this can affect the reading. Do not use it on a finger with nail polish on. I can only get a good reading on two of my fingers due to a medical condition. So check your fingers for the best reading and use that finger all the time. Remember most machines are only accurate to 2 or 3% so do not worry about small drops.

I have one and think it is fairly accurate. Just use it if I'm feeling more rough than usual
