My report results was disappointing.

My ancestry report was very generic. I already know that I am half East Asian and half Southeast Asian since that is what my parents are. What I was looking for was a more specific report telling me exactly where my ancestors came from.

I also found most reports confirmed things I already knew. This includes things like Asian flush, my straight hair and my lactose intolerance

23andme is not cheap and I didn't learn much and I am not sure if any of the other testing services are much better. IMO it is not worth the money.
Cons
Need more regions for ethnicity. Health stuff tells me what I already know

I got the 23andME test kit as a birthday gift from my sister. It would be something that i would never personally buy but I am glad that my sister did give it to me as I found out a lot of information about myself and my ancestors. 

I confirmed I had a great great great grandfather from France other family members from Europe. The Neanderthal connections was also fun to read about.

It was also helpful to read the number of different health reports. Nothing jumped out as bad so that was good to find out.
Pros
Lots of detailed reports.
Cons
Takes a little while to get the reports.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I found 23andme fun and really informative. I was worried that it would be a waste of money but in the end I am really glad I bought this test. 

I had a number of surprises in my ancestry which I plan to talk with my parents about to see if they know anything morn on what I learned. I also liked finding out about my Neanderthal connections.

I also liked the health information. Its good to know I have very low risks of developing any of the genetic diseases they test for.

I am glad to see that 23andme plans to keep me updated as new information becomes available when new technologies comes up.

All in all very interesting!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
