Has anyone used, or have opinions on, equipment from http://www.alheart.com? I am a new CNA student and ordered their own brand (Allheart) of stethoscope and sphygmomanometer to practice with. Are they decent for practice purposes? Thanks for any insight.

I wouldn't recommend ordering from there if you need it any time soon. If you have no time constraints though, go for it because the prices are pretty good.
LOL, oh no! They're slow shipping things out? I made the order just a few days ago (on Wednesday) and was hoping to receive my shipment by this coming Friday. I guess we'll see! The prices are very good, which was why I ordered from them---Thanks for your input!

They aren't bad.
Some people have had long waits with them but I never have.
I always get what I ordered pretty quickly.

I have an allheart brand stethoscope and I can hear great with it!! Almost as well as with my Littman Classic SE. It's nice to have that kind of quality with a cheaper price tag in case your stethoscope "walks away" on the floor
Yes, I received my scope and it works well; very clear! It did take a while to arrive (over two weeks.... :/ ), so I'll be aware of their timeline next time I order from them.

It also makes a difference WHEN you order. I've noticed that if you order during the middle of the school semester then things tend to come faster. If you order a bunch of stuff in August/September, you are going to have to wait for it!

I ordered a All-Heart cardiology stethoscope from them, Loved it, better than Littman, however the ear tips kept falling off, when I went to reorder replacements, they informed me they no longer carry them. What am I suppose to do I can't find any anywhere, buy a new from them. They still sell the stethoscope , yet they rufuse to see the parts to fix it. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
