Bought this for our home after my father-in-law had a cardiac event. No prescription needed made the process simple. Clear voice instructions meant my wife could practice confidently after just one demonstration. Best home AED purchase we’ve made.

Bought for our community center. Easy setup, clear voice instructions. Annual battery check is quick. Recommended for first-time AED buyers.

Had it installed near our golf pro shop and pool area. Passed our annual inspection with zero issues. Staff turnover is high in hospitality so we needed something anyone could use without much training — the OnSite is exactly that.

Oregon requires AEDs in childcare facilities over a certain size. The OnSite was recommended by our licensing board. Simple to mount, intuitive to use, and our parent volunteers all feel comfortable with it after a 20-minute demo. Passed licensing inspection first time.

Bought one for our home. As a nurse I appreciate the clinical quality but what sold me was knowing my non-medical husband could use it if I were the one in trouble. The guided prompts are clear enough for anyone. No prescription needed was a pleasant surprise.

Good device but the battery indicator on ours wasn’t as intuitive to read as expected. Required a call to support to confirm it was ready to use. Once confirmed it was fine — just unclear on initial setup. Instructions could be more explicit for first-time owners.

Public library serving 2,400 patrons daily. We needed an AED that any staff member or even a visitor could deploy without training. The OnSite\’s voice prompts are clear and the indicator lights remove guesswork. Mounted at our service desk in the lobby. During staff training we did a mock deployment with a patron volunteer — they completed the steps within 90 seconds, no prior experience. Cost-effective compared to commercial alternatives and the device has performed flawlessly through 18 months of public exposure.

Perfect for a public-access environment where staff have no medical training. Voice prompts are reassuring during drills. The carrying case could be a little sturdier. But the device itself has been rock-solid for 18 months of deployment in our main branch.

Our 350-member congregation skews heavily senior — average age is 68. After a parishioner collapsed during service two years ago (he survived thanks to a guest who knew CPR), we mandated an AED program. This device was recommended by our diocese for its simplicity. Three usher volunteers, none with medical backgrounds, completed training in 25 minutes and felt confident deploying it. The clear voice prompts and bright indicator lights are perfect for our environment. Annual inspection passes are routine.

Device wouldn’t power on out of the box. Spent 45 minutes on hold with customer service. They sent a replacement in 8 business days. By then I’d lost confidence. Returning.

Karen, this is unacceptable — apologies for the frustration. We’ve flagged the long hold time with our Philips contact. If you’d like to give the replacement device a try, please email support@aedbrandreview.com and we’ll arrange free expedited shipping and our team will personally walk you through setup.
