Shop For Wingman Sport Breathalyzer Alcohol Tester


All cheap breathalyzers use semiconductor technology which is not accurate or reliable from test to test or minute to minute. Don't waste your money. If you want a good personal breathalyzer remember you get what you pay for. Law enforcement uses fuel cell sensing which is both accurate and reliable.

Polar FT60 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Purple) Review


Bought my piece of FT60 about 2 months ago for about $250. Didn't have any problem with the watch BUT it fell a couple of times on the floor from about 4 feet height - now after I swim I get water under the cover glass. Amazing, it's a sports watch! I had a G-Shock one bought in Germany in 1999, it's still running on the original battery and I wouldn't describe in detail how my kids played with it with an ice-hockey stick. POLAR should pay more attention to shock resistance.Get more detail about Polar FT60 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Purple).

Omron Sphygmomanometer, Black, Adult Buy Now


Two major complaints:
1. The Amazon ad for the sphygmomanometer in no place gives the actual size in inches of the cuff. I took the word "large" at its face value (to me); the ad should probably have read "giant."
2. Amazon's return policy says the item has to be returned "unopened." How stupid it that!

Needless to say, I won't be buying anything more on Amazon if I am not completely, positively, fully, infallibly sure that I won't be returning it.

Amazon, get real!

SFO Children Baby and Adult Ear Infrared Instant Thermometer Automatic Probeless: Tympanic thermometer Right now


This thermometer works fine, but on first use, I had to try several times to get an accurate reading on my 11 yo. I could feel with my hand that he had a slight fever but was getting readings that were actually below normal. I also had some inconsistent readings from one ear to the other or from subsequent readings from the same ear, and I got unusually low readings (95) on my husband. It may just take some practice in pulling the ear back properly, since after several tries I was getting more consistent readings. So though it does take only 1 second to get a reading, I felt I had to take several readings to be sure I was getting an accurate result. On the upside, it only takes 12 seconds for the thermometer to be ready to take a new reading.

One annoyance with the product is that its default setting is Celsius. You can change it easily to Fahrenheit by holding down the "on" button for 3 seconds, but you have to do it *every stinkin' time*! You cannot make Fahrenheit the default. Also, if you forget to change it and get a Celsius result, you can hold the "on" button for 3 seconds and it will convert your reading. It's not a big enough issue to return the product, but had the product description mentioned this, I likely would have chosen a different thermometer.

Oh, and be aware that the instructions are written in "Engrish." And no, that's not a typo. I.e., no one who speaks English as a first language reviewed the instructions before they were printed. They are mostly decipherable, though mildly amusing.

One instruction I have a problem with is this: "Calibration frequency: two years, please done [sic] it by local Supervision Bureau." OK, so I get that the thing needs to be recalibrated every two years, but what the heck is a "local Supervision Bureau"? Who does this? More likely I'll just need to buy a new one in two years.

Low Price LifeSource UA-100 Home Aneroid Blood Pressure Monitor


I'm a medically untrained person who was just sent into the market for a blood pressure monitor. My first impulse was to purchase an automatic device, but after reading all the reviews I concluded that apparently they're not very accurate and that the doctors and nurses tended to review (i.e. purchase) the manual models.

Now this specific monitor is directed at home users; it's less expensive than most others and already includes a sewed- in stethoscope. The cuff also has a D- loop design, making it possible for a person to take his own blood pressure without assistance - that is something that the high end cuffs don't necessarily have, as they're intended for use by a professional on a patient.

The quality is so-so. The cuff is made out of nylon (which does crackle as another reviewer notes, although I didn't think it interfered with the reading), the valve on the pump is a little hard to turn, and the stethoscope is very, very uncomfortable. You can bend it into compliance a little, but the big and rock hard earpieces hurt me every time, so I'm subtracting one star for that. The major component though - the manometer - appears very solid and confidence- inspiring. In fact, it looks exactly the same as some on the higher end models.

The readings I'm taking are in line with what my doctor found, so all in all this cheap little package performs its job well. Because of the ear discomfort I mentioned, I'm just glad I don't need to use it very often. If you're a daily user, I would suggest you look for a more comfortable solution.Get more detail about LifeSource UA-100 Home Aneroid Blood Pressure Monitor.

Discount Mio Drive Heart Rate Monitor Watch


Have now owned three Mio watches. While I really like the concept I'm extremely frustrated with the quality of the instrument. I have only been able to keep each watch about six months before something goes wrong. In one case the wrist band broke, in another the face disappeared, and most recently the four buttons on the sides are not working. I had to go back to the Timex Ironman, and even though I cannot automatically get my heart rate... I certainly have a watch that is more dependable. Unfortunate but that is the experience I have had.Get more detail about Mio Drive Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

It was not the item that was shown in the picture. It was way to big for the person I bought it for and I was still charge shipping and handling and only got a partial refund. I think if it was the sellers fault for showing a misleading picture, I should have gotten a FULL REFUND!

Cheap Polar FS1 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Dark Blue)


The watch and chest strap is very easy to use. That is the good news. The bad news is that it is REALLY LOUD. It constantly beeps as it measures your heart rate. I cannot use it in an athletic yoga class to measure my output nor in a quiet gym. It is really distracting and makes it pretty much useless to me. I would NOT recommend the watch unless you are working out in a noisy venue.Get more detail about Polar FS1 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Dark Blue).
