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

I’ve had Covid twice now. This second time I tested with an expired Binax Now test I had that was 6mos past expiration date. I was pretty sure I had Covid. It gave me a positive test result. I bought a new test kit of this brand and took a fresh test which confirmed a positive result. These tests are easy to take and VERY reliable. Clear instructions and if you follow them exactly you can get a reliable outcome. Sometimes early in COVID infection, even though you have symptoms, you may not have developed a large enough viral load to test positive. Wait another day and take the second test if you still feel sick. Remember, we’re dealing with RSV as well as Respiratory flu and Covid now. All of these have similar symptoms.

I have used these before and they are good tests. In the future however, I will buy them in person if I want to keep them on hand for an extended period.

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).

I never used Binax, and my friend never tested herself before. She is an unvaccinated person, and was around some people for the holidays, and I was so concerned she would get Covid. And then she came to my house, and called me 2 days later to tell me that people at the earlier party were all sick. And the next day she said she had a terrible headache and was feeling sick, too. So, I had Amazon deliver these Binax tests. I looked at how to do it online, so I could help her figure it out. It is a little more complicated than some other tests I've taken. Here you put drops into a card, and then swab your nostirls, and then insert the swab into the holes into the card. (Other tests have a vial that you swish the swab into.) You supposed to then remove a strip from the card, and then fold it from left to right to close the card and start the test. She seemed confused, and skipped over reading some of the instructions -- said it was too small to read without glasses. But she did get through it, and it was positive for Covid. So, I'm glad she took the test, and now she knows whether she had Covid or not; and after a few days of self-quarantine, she is feeling fine. And thank you Binax.

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.
