I'm currently using a WaveSense Jazz and have been very pleased. I've been meaning to post a review, but have been too busy.

Can't speak to accuracy yet, but it seems very consistent: I did a back to back when I first got it and got 119 and 118 about 60 seconds apart.

It's also pretty friendly about filling the test strip. The sample size is tiny and if you don't immediately fill it, you do get a slight moment to give it more. It doesn't always give an error when you fail to fill it though. I got a 127 pre-lunch today and hadn't come close to filling the window (the drop spread out on my finger instead of staying bubbled!). Did a test right after that filled the window on a second strip and got 112. Usually it says ER 2 or ER 4 if the window doesn't fill.

I use the Jazz because it uploads results to the computer. I like the software WaveSense has. Makes it easy for me to log my foods and see trends.

From what I understand, the Presto is just a Jazz without the fancy built-in stat functions. They use different test strips. The Presto's costs half as much!

I'm paying a premium for Jazz strips... but it is the right meter for me.
