I've tried TheOldReader, which worked well, even when they had to handle the sudden influx of Google Reader refugees. I'm currently using InoReader, which works very well, and Bloglines, which seems to be broken (for nearly a week now IIRC, and not for the first time in the last year).

Do you pay for The Old Reader?

IIRC I used it in the brief interlude between "we're hobbyists providing a little free service for people who aren't very happy with Google's latest changes" and "holy hell, they're shutting down Google Reader and our userbase just went up by an order of magnitude; we can't keep this site public anymore". IIRC I would have been willing to shell out $3/month for the service, but by the time that option opened up I'd discovered InoReader.
