Customer Reviews
Learning CPR is arguably one of the most critical skills a person can possess, but coordinating group training often involves transporting heavy, rigid, full-sized mannequins. This MiniAndy CPR Training Manikins Kit promised a dramatically more convenient, effective solution with its inflatable CPR manikin and integrated compression feedback device. It simplifies the logistics of training while providing professional-grade data, solving a major hurdle for individuals and training institutions alike.
My experience with this kit immediately highlighted its primary asset: portability. Once compressed, this mini size manikin folds down to roughly the size of a palm, making it incredibly convenient to carry in a bag or briefcase, a massive improvement over bulky plastic torsos. The ease-of-use is surprisingly simple: an electric air pump (included) inflates the mannequin in about ten to fifteen seconds, and the feedback device secures easily into a groove. The manikin is ready for chest compression operations and includes a lung bag for mouth-to-mouth training.
The most innovative feature is the digital data tracking. The CPR feedback device connects to the XCPR app on a phone or tablet via Bluetooth, providing real-time feedback on compression depth and frequency. This is invaluable for individual users practicing at home or for mentors running a group training session, as the data monitoring ensures the practice is truly effective. The app can even switch to a team competition mode. This CPR training kit is highly giftable to any scout troop leader, fitness instructor, training institution, or family looking to practice life-saving skills at home. For an unconventional use, the included electric air pump, with its four different nozzles, is perfect for quickly inflating small swimming rings or inflatable toys.
I am giving this CPR Manikins Kit five out of five stars. The justification is that it flawlessly merges professional-grade training technology with unparalleled portability. The inflatable, durable design eliminates the major logistical headaches of traditional mannequins, while the data feedback system provides the essential, immediate correction necessary for effective learning.
This may have a use for me, but it's honestly hard to imagine when that will be. I teach lifeguarding and CPR courses and have manikins for that. I saw this and thought it might be nice to have one that I can have packed up really small and just inflate when I need it. The idea is nice, but the manikin is not. Compressions don't feel all that good, and neither does breathing into the little tube. But, perhaps it will work in a pinch. It also has an accordion-like thing that goes inside of it and it'll beep when compressions reach the correct depth. That part does work well.
I also found it odd that it comes with a rechargeable pump, but that the accordion compression bit requires two AAA batteries. I can tell that the pump was made by a different company and that explains the difference, but it was a bit annoying to go have to get batteries for it. The pump it came with works great.
For me, I think I really only see this being used for lifeguarding classes where they're repeatedly practicing and things are very wet and I may not be as concerned with the level of CPR during practice. I would never have one of these as a primary teaching manikin.
I recently picked up this inflatable CPR mannequin for my family, and I'm really impressed with it. First off, the durability is solid – it's held up through multiple practice sessions without any issues or signs of wear. The material feels thick and well-made, not like a cheap inflatables that pop at the first sign of trouble.
What I really appreciate is how easy it is to set up and use. It inflates quickly and doesn't take up a ton of storage space when you're done, which is perfect for keeping at home. Super convenient!
But here's the best part – the compression mechanism actually provides realistic resistance. It's not some flimsy thing that just squishes down with barely any effort. This thing is functional. You actually have to push down with a good amount of force, which makes the training feel authentic. It also beeps affirmatively to let you know that you hit the compression with the correct amount of effort. That's huge for learning correct technique and building the muscle memory you'd need in a real emergency situation.
Overall, this is a solid purchase and great value if you need a practical, realistic training mannequin that won't break the bank or take up your entire closet. Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to learn CPR or brush up on their skills at home!
The phone app is necessary to get full use out of this product. It comes with a mini pump that is separately packaged. Once you figure out the correct adapter for inflation, setting up the manikin is easy. After inflating the manikin, you insert the square-shaped compression device into the cavity in the manikin. This is done with the opening of the cavity facing the floor, and the manikin is lowered over the compression base. On its own, the setup does not have much in the way of instruction. It requires the free app to connect to the compression device, and you can run a test mode. It does not really have a tutorial mode showing you the proper technique, so you will need to watch some tutorial videos on your own. I had formal training many years ago, so I remembered the basics. The app only has learning and evaluation mode, which tests you for two minutes for proper cadence and pressure. There is a digital gauge that registers each compression, with a green target window. It also tells you if you are going too fast or too slow. Overall, this is a good practice manikin that is portable and easy to use. It does not provide the complete training, so you will need to find that elsewhere. This device is a supplemental training tool that can help with your cadence and pressure when performing CPR, but you need to have the basics on how to place your hands and body, which you would receive from formalized training.
The XFT Mini Andy CPR Manikins Set (XFT-2017) offers an innovative and highly useful solution for modern CPR training, whether for individual self-practice or managing group training sessions. Its design is based on exceptional portability and effective compression training. Once appropriately inflated, the manikin has substantial dimensions of approximately 23 x 14 x 4 inches, providing a realistic-feeling surface for practicing chest compressions, along with a lung bag for mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration training. However, its greatest asset is that it folds down to the size of a palm, making it incredibly convenient for trainers to carry in the included case, a detail I greatly appreciate. What truly sets this manikin apart is the integrated CPR Feedback Device, which connects via Bluetooth to the XCPR app. This system delivers real-time, objective data on compression depth and frequency directly to your phone or tablet, transforming practice into a data-driven learning experience suitable for both beginners and medical professionals.
This kit provides excellent value by bundling the essentials, including the manikin, the high-tech feedback device, and an instruction manual. The utility of this device—providing verifiable data on your technique—is undeniable, especially when compared to traditional, non-feedback dummies. The manikin is made of thick PVC and is robust enough for repeated use. I also appreciated the included portable air pump. My only points for improvement are minor: first, I felt the instructions could be more clear on the use of the mouth and lungs with the manikin. Second, for enhanced realism during training, I wish the inflatable dummy had a color closer to a skin tone rather than the current blue. Despite these small issues, the sheer combination of portability, the high-value data-driven feedback system, and the overall affordability make this an excellent and superior investment for anyone serious about mastering or maintaining their critical CPR skills.
My teen daughter has been wanting to become CPR certified, and I think this is a great first step! She quickly learned that it’s much harder and takes more endurance than she expected. This kit comes with everything needed to properly learn CPR in an efficient and compact way. The gray compression piece takes two AAA batteries, and it includes a USB-C chargeable mini pump. We had it set up in just a few minutes and easily paired it with the app.
The app provides clear guidance on beats per minute and compression depth, then gives you a score to let you know how well you did. It’s very helpful for understanding how hard and fast to perform compressions. We plan on showing it to other family members and friends so they can get a feel for CPR if the need ever arises.
This is a fantastic training tool and an excellent learning device. Highly recommend!
Interesting CPR training device. Definitely not a replacement for actual training, but it's good for practicing once you do get the training done. It's pretty easy to use and set up and I think it functions quite well. It is a tad on the pricier side for me, but I can see the value in it if you plan on using it quite a bit. Not bad overall.
This did not look like much when I received it but I guess that is the point, a very compact CPR manikin. I did not realize when I requested it that it required an app download to get the full benefits. I am not downloading an app from a third party seller. However, I give this four stars as it does provide a way to practice CPR, which I had not practiced in a while. The compression spring is useful and seems to work well. It seems a bit expensive for what you receive but I am not sure how to put a price on CPR practice.
This inflatable CPR mannequin is so tiny, but it works okay for practice. The MiniAndy kit is lightweight and easy to set up, which makes it useful for group training or travel. The compression feedback device is a good feature since it helps you know if you’re doing it right. Still, the small size makes it feel less realistic compared to full-size manikins. Overall, it’s decent for basic training, but definitely more of a compact option than a true lifelike model.
It was so easy to get this CPR mannequin setup than what I initially expected. The little pump had the mannequin ready to go in less than a minute and getting the feedback device connected to my phone was a straightforward process. The app is useful in determining the right amount of pressure to apply, there's no need to guess like other CPR dummies. This is a great aid to help teach people how to properly do CPR chest compressions so it's a great value as it could save a life one day.
This CPR manikin is a neat portable training device that does a good job of teaching CPR. It comes with its own small air pump that will quickly inflate the "body". You insert the compression unit into the chest. It does a great job of indicating when you've pressed hard enough - it's always harder than you think. When you're done with training, you can deflate the manikin and fold everything up into a small box or bag until it's needed again. It works well if you can't get a traditional CPR dummy.
I ordered this to help me study CPR for my class. It arrived it a small box and need to be inflated. It's not the same quality as the one my instructor carries but it's decent enough for me
To practice. It is easy to use and functions well.
This is a nice little set for practicing CPR. I like that it's super portable, unlike other similar products. The quality seems decent for the cost. I'm hoping that it will hold up to use and that the seams won't split. Overall, this is a good option.
This is a very good economical way to get extra practice at home. It doesn't take the place of formal training and I always like to review with a video so having this to use with a tutorial is very helpful. It's simple to set up and of decent quality.
This really does work to help you learn the proper technique of CPR. You don’t need the app necessarily because, when you do it correctly you hear the unit beep. However the app is very helpful if you want to learn, train or teach. It will show you exactly what you need to do better or whatever. I have a screen shot of the app face. I really appreciated that you do not need to register anything to access the app, that was a relief because I don’t like downloading and then giving info to a random app.
Note: when you search for the “XCPR” you will need to click on the top text that says to search for xcpr not just cpr or you won’t find the app.
The air doesn’t stay in the mini Andy very well but all the air does is make it look like a person so it being a little deflated hasn’t affected it working. However, it will need to be stiffer for the mouth to mouth if you want to train that.
You do need 2 AAA batteries.
This inflatable CPR manikin is a clever training tool that’s easy to set up and surprisingly detailed for its size. The included feedback device connects by Bluetooth and gives real time data on compression depth and rate, which helps make practice more accurate. The manikin inflates quickly with the small air pump and doesn’t take up much space once deflated, making it ideal for refreshers. It’s not quite the same feel as a full size manikin, but for portable, affordable CPR practice, it does a great job.
As a traveling CPR and first aid instructor, lugging around heavy full-size manikins was becoming a real burden. This MINI Andy inflatable set is a total lifesaver for my mobile classes. The whole thing folds down small enough to fit in my carry-on bag, and the included electric air pump gets it ready in under a minute for my 9 AM class setup. The core functionality—the compression feedback device that connects via Bluetooth to the XCPR app—is what matters. It gives my students real-time data on depth and frequency, which is crucial for proper training. This is a very smart, practical solution for training institutions, solo instructors, or any medical professional who needs a high-quality, portable manikin for small group sessions.
The description of this inflatable CPR manikin set is accurate, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. The set is compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to carry and store, yet the material feels durable enough to last for a long time.
Inflating it takes only a few minutes, and once it’s set up, it holds its shape well during practice. The size is realistic and suitable for learning and demonstrating proper chest compression techniques. After training, it folds down easily for storage or transport.
This is perfect – it blows up quickly and easily and holds the air. This is used for a class to refresh on CPR. It works as promised and is a great tool for learning and refreshing CPR. It folds down again for repeated use.
The Mini Andy CPR Manikin Set is a fantastic training tool for practicing CPR skills in a compact and convenient way. The set comes with lightweight, durable manikin that is easy to set up, clean, and store. Despite the small size, it still provides a lifelike feel that helps build real-world confidence in performing CPR. I like that the set has everything needed to practice, even an air pump. Great for any one wanting to gain confidence in their skills.
