BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test, 1 Pack, 4 Tests Total, COVID Test With 15-Minute Results Without Sending to a Lab, Easy to Use at Home

Tho the contents looked tacky (and tiny!) it turned out to be quite easy to use the kit and I have reason to believe results of both tests ( first was neg, second was +) were valid. My wife and 2 friend had prolonged close exposure to a couple who were both floridly ill and sat next to them on a bus ride. 4 days later my wife had abrupt onset of cough and congestion and tested positive (with a different test) - one of her 2 friends emailed to tell us that she experienced almost exactly the same , also positive on a rapid test. 3 days after my wife’s onset, I became ill ( we live in a small condo) and tested neg with the Binax kit - the next day I was sicker and 2nd test was unequivocally positive. Both of us recovered ( taking Paxlovid) and had no reason to take a convalescent test. None of this proves the validity of my test results, but it all makes sense epidemiologically. If unfortunate enough to need another test in the future, I would feel confident using this kit again.

I have used these from the beginning and they’re so easy to use and accurate. I have a very large family of 7 and when I had an issue once with one box, they took care of it right away. The company stands behind their product and it makes me feel confident as a consumer that my hard earned money is going to a quality product. That seems rare these days. I hope they expand to other at home tests for the public! I also love that they have added the amount of tests in each box! They’re much larger than before which I appreciate. The expiration dates are always very far in advanced, it’s easy to use and my go to! Highly recommend.

I have bought and used these with no problems in the past, 5-star for that and the fact that they are made in the USA. *** I had a problem with this one, the first prefilled liquid dropper was completely empty.*** The second dropper I used thankfully had liquid in it and I was able to complete the test. I have no known way to correspond with Amazon, other than to comment. Assuming the remaining two droppers are filled, I request this is remedied by supplying an additional filled dropper or a single complete test. Thanks

Ever wanted to play doctor but without the years of med school? Well, the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test lets you do just that—except your only patient is yourself, and the procedure involves an uncomfortable level of nostril exploration. The test is easy enough to use, assuming you can follow instructions while nervously questioning your life choices. Swab up your nose (and I mean up—like, "am I poking my brain?" up), swirl it in the test card, and then stare at it like a fortune teller waiting for a sign. Will it be one line or two? Destiny awaits. Results are fast, which is great, but the emotional rollercoaster is real. Negative? Sweet relief. Positive? Time to cancel plans, notify everyone you’ve ever been near, and start Googling symptoms you may or may not have. Docking one star because it doesn’t come with emotional support or a less invasive way to collect the sample (spit test, anyone?). But hey, if you’re gonna swab your own nose, at least this test makes it somewhat bearable.

I'm not sure how to rate a COVID test kit. LOL I was glad we had one on hand at home, though. For about $20 for two tests, it was a good value and convenient. Feeling not so well a few months after being fully vaccinated, I used one of these tests to see if it was possibly COVID. Unfortunately, it was, and the test indicator showed positive. I went to Walgreens the next day for a 2nd day to confirm the results, and it was positive, too, letting me know that this BinaxNOW COVID test did indeed work properly. After 10 days from my first symptoms, I used the other test in the kit and it tested negative. The swab test was pretty easy to use. Just make sure to read the directions fully before doing anything, and do not contaminate the swab or sample. It's best to use a mirror to watch yourself perform the test. It's not a deep cavity test; you only have to insert it the length of the white cotton swab (so it's no longer visible to you).

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These are the best and easiest, most accurate COVID tests out of all of them in my experience, even the free ones. I have used these since they first came out. They diagnosed my hubby and I correctly in Dec 2023 when we finally got it.

Works as expected. Wanted to double check my positive result with another test type I took. This also came back as positive; accurate. Little bit different method than other tests I use, but still serves its purpose. Instructions are clear.

Not sure if this was a bad batch, poor storage, expired (the dates appeared current, however it had a sticker pasted over the outside stating to ignore the expired dates inside) or what. These were the cardboard style (cheaper) test kits. I will not be buying tests through Amazon again. My wife who was symptomatic took two tests, repeating after the first produced unclear results (hazy red color throughout the test area). The second test had the same issue but looked even more possibly positive than the first. (The picture doesnt even capture how deceiving it was) I tested myself (asymptomatic) and again got the red haziness, but felt fairly confident it was negative. At doctors advice, we went to cvs and got new tests (cvs brand covid19 and fluA/B combined tests) the next day and tested again the next two days and all was negative and perfectly clear to read. I paid alot more at the store for replacements (cvs brand) but they worked as expected, clearly, and on the first try.
