If you mean the Therasense Freestyle Freedom made by Abbot, I love it!
It requires one of the smallest samples for testing, its fast, easy to use, accurate, and reliable.
I have used Accu-check, Freestyle, One Touch, and a couple of others. I find the Therasense Freestyle meters are the best and One Touch is a close second. (One Touch requires a larger blood sample, which is the main drawback to it).

I would rate my Freestyle as #1, and my One Touch as #2, and wouldn't bother with Accu-check at all.
I don't know about Freedom, but I used an Accu-chek Compact Plus for an assignment and I really liked it. The fact that it uses the test drums instead of the test strips was a huge plus for me. It was pretty easy to work, and had a very large display. Compared to other meters, it is a little on the big side, but not unmanageable.
