I've been using a Compact Plus for about 5 months.
Pros:
- All-In-One is convenient
- SoftClix Plus lancing device is very nice (and detachable)
- Not having to load each strip is nice
- Strips come in multiple of 17 so many times I get move than what is prescribed since I only need 90/month but they come in boxes of 51 or 102.
Cons:
- A bit bulky to carry around
- You need to draw blood before turning the meter on since that's what dispenses the strip. If you have trouble drawing blood and the meter auto shuts off you waste a strip when you turn it back on since it dispenses another strip.
- Strip test area is not as easy to "hit" as some other meters I've tried, particularly if I'm "low" and my vision is a little blurry. Usually not a problem since if I feel low I don't bother to test until after I recover.
If I think of other things I'll add them.
