I like that you can be anywhere and they'll be able to get your location with the GPS. I tested it last week and it works fine. I live out in the woods and I didn't think it would work way out there but it worked pretty good. Their customer service is really good and knowledgeable on how to use the device. They were very nice and polite.

I accidently left the device outside in the rain for 5 days and when I found it the battery was still working. I couldn't beleve how long the battery lasted in the rain. With the GPS they were able to let me know that I had lost the device at my house so I know that works. I think Medical Guardian is excellent.

The device it was very simple. Within a minute of testing it, someone was on the line with me addressing me by first name asking me if I was okay. So it's a very good tool to have. Every time I've called they were right on the money and were able to get me help with whatever situation I was in.

I like that I can take it with me when I leave the house and I have confidence that I can get help if I need it. I always test every month or so to make sure everything is working and it always is. They've always answered readily when I call customer service.

So far I haven't found anything I don't like about it, I've been perfectly happy with it. I think it is quite convenient and I like the fact it charges overnight. I've used other devices and had problems with other devices with their charges not being satisfactory.

Medical Guardian is always available. It's reliable and easy to use. The people who contact you are helpful and polite. I've fallen a couple of times and used it, they've answered quickly. It has been a very positive experience even when I am traveling. I feel very confident having it.

The time I had to use it, I tripped and fell outside. I pushed my guardian button and called the paramedics and they came right away to take me to the hospital. I wear it on my wrist so that if I have a problem, I can push the button and get help immediately.

I have a garage door in a locked gate and they gave me a lock box that has keys to it. The other company that I've talked to before I talked to Medical Guardian never mentioned the lock box or anything like that so that's why I went with them and I'm glad.

It's always been there when I needed it. I've taken it across the country with me and it's been fine. I would like for them to get straps that don't stretch it out here. It's very hard to keep this on after you've been wearing it for a couple of years.

We only wear it if we are home alone. It's gone off twice for no reason at all. I don't know why that happened. It was really easy.

The only time I've used it went real well. I like the fact that it has a back up battery. We have power outages a lot out here in West Texas because we have thunderstorms a lot and they knock the power out and sometimes they're out for a while so having that back up on hand is really good.

We were sent the necklace only. We were promised two wristbands in addition to the necklace. The necklace button has absolutely no fall detection. I dropped it from multiple heights and onto various surfaces. Never did it work. I also sent in the information sheet the day we received the unit but apparently it was never received so if something does go wrong, apparently no one will understand how to get into the house much less know who to call. What a joke of a service. It's a shame it's prepaid. I'd completely undo this service and switch to a competitor. When this year is done, that is exactly what we will do.

There were three times I accidentally pushed the button. The first time I didn''t respond and there was a full search for me. In the end all was well and I knew for sure the system worked. The other two times I answered the connection and let them know it was in error and was well.

I like that it's compact. It's usually placed in an area that is reached by everybody who lives in the house. There's an immediate response when you call in for help. I tested it about two weeks ago. My daughter arranged for me to have it put in my house. I found it very simple to use.

I love the fact I can wear it on my wrist but unfortunately I have developed a severe abscess from it. They once sent out ambulances when I didn't answer my phone, which was embarrassing, but it gives me peace of mind. I think it is a great device and a great system and it works well for me.

I tested it one time and I got an immediate response. It gives me a good feeling of security. Before I had it, I did have a problem where I fell in the shower I laid on the floor for hours and hours until my wife got home. That was not fun do this gives me comfort and I never know it is on because it doesn't get in my way.

When I signed up initially, MG was quite efficient and I was pleasantly surprised to receive the watch about a week after placing the order. The watch was not of sturdy construction though and the wings that contain the pins that attach the watchband are pretty flimsy. On the first watch, two broke off after maybe the 3rd or 4th time I put it on. Further, the watch wouldn't hold a charge for more than 8-10 hours. When I spoke with the tech support group, they stated it might be my cell coverage (I live in the country and don't have a land line) but wanted to send me a second watch to see if it did better. The second watch didn't do better and so they sent me the "pendent" unit along with prepaid return shipping labels. I put the two watches in the mail on April 3 and, when the "pendent" didn't perform either, I mailed it back on April 8 with my label and money. The April 8 package was received the same week and the two packages mailed on April 3rd, using their prepaid labels, weren't received at least 2 weeks later . This return service is just slow and frustrating for someone like myself who wants the service cancelled and charges stopped. The bottom line for me is the people were friendly and tried to be helpful but the product just performed miserably due to my poor rural cell phone coverage.
