I’ve been using the Nima Sensor for a long time, and while I’ve loved using it over the years, I want to caution you from investing in it until we know more about a new gluten-detecting device coming to market [hopefully] in late 2022 called the Allergy Amulet.
This is exciting news, my friends, as the gluten-detecting device wars are just heating up, and it will soon be Nima Sensor vs. Allergy Amulet. More choice means more competition and maybe better opportunities for us all.
Some experts say The Allergy Amulet will give Nima Sensor a run for its money, and it has these four things going for it that suggest it just might:
(1) It’s cheaper than Nima. The Allergy Amulet test strips are about $3 each whereas Nima Sensor test capsules are $6 each. (Yes, you have to buy a new test strip or capsule for every test; it ain’t cheap!)
For reference, Nima Sensor costs $279.99 plus a pack of 6 single-use test capsules costs $39.99. The Allergy Amulet is $299 plus a pack of 8 single-use test capsules costs $29.99. Both are hefty investments, but one is clearly cheaper in the long run.
(2) It creates less waste. The Allergy Amulet test strips create less landfill waste than disposable test capsules from Nima Sensor.
(3) It’s faster. The Allergy Amulet says it takes 60-90 seconds per test, whereas Nima Sensor takes about 2-3 minutes per test.
(4) It’s more portable. The Allergy Amulet is a wearable device, so you can wear it as a bracelet, necklace, or keychain. It makes it easier to take it with you wherever you go, and it doesn’t take up bulky space in your purse or pocket. It’s really sleek and beautiful too. See pictures in this article.
Should You Invest in a Gluten-Detecting Device?
Yes, I think every gluten-free person needs a gluten-detecting device for those times when that burger bun looks too good to be true, or you swear that box of cereal contains gluten. It’s only a matter of figuring out which gluten-detecting device – Nima Sensor vs. Allergy Amulet – is right for you.
Do your research, and, if you’re able to wait-and-see what the Allergy Amulet is all about, wait and see. The Allergy Amulet says it will launch its gluten-detecting capabilities in late 2022. You may decide Nima is right for you, or you might be willing to take a flyer on the Allergy Amulet.
And if you need a gluten-detecting device now, Nima Sensor is tried and true. It’s been around for many years, although Nima went out of business temporarily and left its community in the dark in 2020. Many of us believed it to be gone, but it’s back from the dead and available now. In fact, it’s the only gluten-detecting device available for purchase today, so if you’re in need of a device today, Nima is your go-to option.
