I’m amending this review to note that the seller contacted me to offer me a choice of refund or replacement, and to change from my previous 1 star to 3 because of this impressive customer service.Optimist that I am, I chose “replacement,” and when it arrives and I’ve waited a sufficient period to see if they’re going to last the promised period, and if I am able to again add to this review (if it’s not amebed again, it means I couldn’t) I’ll up this to 5 stars and become a cheerleader for the product, and its gratifyingly caring/ethical/initiative-taking/efficient/pleasant customer service.Money down the toilet, along with the pee these strips were supposed to test.RIP an appx. 2/3 full bottle of keto strips, prematurely expired.I opened the container on 4/19/23l, and by 5/21 they no longer turned color.I’d been fasting for 8 days and it never takes me longer than 3 days on keto to enter ketosis, let alone while fasting. They were kept well away from water/humidity (no shower/bath/sink in the room) and were opened and closed as close to lightening speed as I could manage, because I want keto strips to last as long as possible.Very frustrating and a big waste of money (well, okay, they’re not exactly bank-breakers, so a small waste of money, but still…).

I think these work. It almost always shows im barely in ketosis. and for so long I wondered if maybe they just are stuck on that pale color. But my husband used one and it turned darker so they do work differently for him. They do get darker! At least I know they can!So im pretty sure they do work, Sometimes I use two at a time just to be sure because I eat no added carbs in my diet, the only carbs I get are from veggies and I keep my carbs under 20 a day. But without testing against blood, i cannot be sure. They are easy to use, just dip or pee on the end, wait 40 seconds and peep. My the time im done peeing and pull up my pants I can see 🙂

The strips are ok even though I received a box that’s going to expire in a couple months. The box was open but the bottle was sealed completely.

After much research of going grain free and trying to even out my glycemic spikes, I’ve decided to try keto for 30 days and see if it helps several of the health issues I’m trying to control.As a beginner, having these test strips are super easy as I didn’t want to do a blood prick for this 30 day “experiment”. The results from the strip are easy to read, as a guide. They’re reasonably priced and I will keep buying them if I decide to continue on keto. Overall I’m happy with my purchase, especially as a keto beginner.

Okay, I meant to write this review months ago, but I put it off and forgot about it. By the way, I enclosed a few pictures to make my point. So take a look at them to see what I’m talking about.First, I really, really wanted these test strips to be good! The name brand, Ketostix, are very expensive, like 4 times the price, since the 50 strip retail pack costs about double that of the “Perfect Keto Strips”, containing half the amount. The first batch was dubiously accurate, but serviceable, with some “fixing” on my part. But I was able to at least use them. I will explain the “fixing” in a minute.I ordered another one for the purposes of a low price backup about a month later based on the incredible discounted price, under the “You get what you paid for” mantra. I would have been fine if they were like the first, since the saving are quite substantial. However, that second batch was, quite simply, worthless.I probably should have returned them, but for $7.99, I couldn’t honestly be bothered going through the hassle of the Amazon return procedures, not to mention boxing it up and mailing it back, even with the return postage paid by Amazon. The problem with the second batch is that they were a light shade of purple almost from the second I received them. I had actually lent the first batch to a friend, which is why I had opened the second one.If you look at the first picture I uploaded, you will see a shot of a bunch of the dry, never used purple “Perfect Ketone Testing Strips” above the name brand Ketostix. Notice that the color of the store bought one is neutral, indicating no ketones, of course, since it has not been passed through a stream of urine. The other ones look like they have been tested and all positive, even though, like the Ketostix strip, they were not used.They don’t change color at all from that purple, by the way, or I might have been willing to overlook the dry color, though probably not. Because even if they seemed to work, can I really trust the accuracy of a stick that starts out showing positive for ketones even while dry?Okay, so that’s the scoop on the second, defective batch.For the first batch, I mentioned above that I had to sort of apply a little fix. I want to call your attention to pictures 2 and 3 of the ones I uploaded. The smaller bottle, which is the Ketostix while the larger one is the Perfect Ketone Test Strips. Take a look at the color chart on the larger bottle. Notice that the colors are just off enough to render reading them almost impossible for all but the deepest levels of ketosis. I mean, of course, deep purple is deep purple, right? No ambiguity there. The caveat here is that MANY people like me don’t bother trying to get deep into ketosis to turn it so dark purple that you don’t even really need the chart.When I am dieting, I always hover around “trace” and “small” for the most part. Unless I am being more aggressive in that phase of my diet. Now looking at those pics, notice that the colors on the one I am reviewing are darker and richer than the Ketostix. This may look great on the package, and maybe even is a good selling point, BUT it is a terrible chart to measure ketones, particularly at a lower level of ketosis. When I hold a currently in-use (read: peed on) stick against the chart that came with these, it is maddeningly impossible to tell where I’m at. Because the colors for “Negative,” “Trace,” and even small are so pink. Yes even the “Negative” is a little pink!Look at the side-by-side comparison. Note that the second comparison picture, the vertical one, is much more illustrative of what I’m talking about. Even in ketosis, my stick looks like it is some sort of combination of all three colors. Its maddening. When I line up the strip (either the Ketostix or the “good” batch I first ordered in May) with the chart on the Ketostix, it is easy and unequivocal what state of ketosis I am in. The difference is startling actually.Anyway, I would be wary of this brand, and if you really want to save the money, simply make sure you have an old, possibly even empty, bottle of ketostix and use that to measure your ketosis even when using Perfect Ketone Test Strips. Unless you get a batch like my second one, which was useless. Then either grin and bear it, or send it back.As I said, assuming you get a good batch, the sticks are serviceable, but someone at the company that makes these really needs to fix the color chart on the bottle so its more like Ketostix!Oh, and one more thing: If you look at the last picture, the expiration date on the bottle is 2021, which means that even if I opened them just now, and not the 8 months ago I actually did, they should still be good.

I have had other strips; and not had this issue.I often like to test on 2 strips at a time to see if the results are consistent. I found that I would have 2 different results. This doesnt seem right. I think it should be consistently the same with each strip. They are easy to use. But a bit disappointing. Not sure if I would try them again or not.

They work like any other test strip. I hold it in my hand and pee directly on it and hit my stopwatch feature on my phone and wait 40 seconds to read it. Much easier method than collecting urine in a cup and swirling the teststrip in it.**The 2 photos where taken within about 3-5 seconds of each other. Photo 1 was at 39 seconds, photo 2 was taken at about 43 second. **PROS: extra long strips in comparison to the others I’ve used. Only takes a drop of urine. Once urine makes contact with strip it immediately starts registering ketone in urine. Offers a visual color gage on outside of bottle. Detailed instructions are included inside box with bottle of strips.CONS: strips are a little narrow,thin and flimsy to hold. Tester spot on strip is smaller and not as adhered as it was on others I’ve tried and it will start to peel off if not carefully and quickly placed in urine stream while urinating. Color guide is to close in shades from trace to small to moderate to get a true accurate reading, it’s more of a general in this range kinda color guide for amounts of ketones expelled in urine. Also, don’t like that they keep getting darker immediately after the 40 sec are up so getting a true/accurate reading again is just general range idea and MUST NOT BE READ AFTER THE 40 SECONDS ARE UP or you get a false reading.Strips don’t determine if you are IN ketosis it only shows you if your body is producing and expeling excess ketones in your urine thus helping you stay on track towards the ketogenic goals. The best and most accurate way to tell if you are in ketosis is with a blood test monitor using a drop of blood on special ketone strip. This will tell you if you’ve reached ketosis, not a urine strip test.FINAL WORDS: These strips are okay. Not sure I’d repurchase but I will finish using them up. They do work good enough for monitoring my ketone productions whether its after I have a carb cycling day, a hard fast, or just my normal daily keto diet days.
