Philips HeartStart Home AED Defibrillator, Value Package M5068A-C04

This is the top line AED machine

As a physician, I wanted to have a home AED defibrillator that speaks you through the steps and reads the rhythm before shocking. This compact and well packaged item fits the bill. Now that I am in my 50's and have a family history of cardiac issues, I feel it is a good investment and peace of mind to own one, since if an arrhythmia happens at home, time is of the essence and in Los Angeles, the response time for 911 can be 45 minutes. The seller and Amazon were so wonderful when at first I thought the item did not arrive because the box got placed in a closet with other boxes meant for someone else, and so they sent me a replacement for free. I ended up finding the original product that was shipped to me by Amazon, and will return the replacement device unopened. I also purchased a separate steel wall box to store my defibrillator in so that it's easy to find in the time of need.

Hope I never have to use it… if I ever do and the patient doesn’t survive can I get a refund?

Appears to work. Hope it does if I ever need it. Hope I never do.

Great item, as described. Fortunately we have not had to use it, but the training program is smart and very easy to follow! Excellent transaction. Would buy again!

Fast shipping. Great packaging! Testing worked as expected. Haven’t had to used it for real, but it’s live and ready if needed. I’m only 35, but we live in the country and you never know what can happen if someone’s visiting and has a heart attack.

Light-Weight, durable and easily to operate for family. Excellent Product with an affordable price.
